高考短文改错分类解析与练习一、高考短文改错分类归纳I.一致关系方面的错误。

一致关系方面的错误主要包括主谓不一致,时态不一致和代词的指代不一致。

谓语动词的单、复数形式要与主语保持一致,动词的时态要与时间状语或上下文的时态保持一致,代词所指代的内容要与其先行词在人称、单复数、主格、宾格及所有格,以及自身所指代成分意义上保持一致。

主语和谓语不一致,时态与语境不一致,或者代词的指代前后矛盾,比如本该用主格用了宾格,或人称混淆的错误,这些都是一致关系方面常出现的考查热点。

But as fuel prices rose, the school district needed to find a way to cut its transportation costs. So the school’s busing company redrew its route map, canceling Nia’s bus. Now Nia and her neighbors travel the half mile to school via a “walking school bus”—a group of kids, supervised (监护) by an adult or two, who make the walk together.Many parents are delighted to see their kids walking to school, partly because many did so themselves. According to a 1979 survey, nearly half of school kids walked or biked to school, compared with only 16 percent in 2011. Modern parents have been unwilling to let kids walk to school for fear of traffic, crime or simple bullying, but with organized adult supervision, those concerns have reduced.Schools and busing companies are finding other ways to save money. In rural areas where busing is a must, some schools have even chosen four-day school weeks. Busing companies instruct drivers to cancel extra stops from routes and to turn off the engine while idling(挂空挡). They are also using computer software to determine the most fuel-efficient routes, which aren’t always the shortest ones.There could be disadvantages, however, to the busing cutbacks. Ifevery formerly bused student begins walking to school, it’s an environmental win—but if too many of their parents decide to drive them instead, the overall carbon footprint can grow. Replacing buses with many more parent-driven cars can also increase safety risks. A 2011 report concluded students are 13 times safer on a school bus than in a passenger car, since buses have fewer accidents and withstand (经受住) them better due to their size. And some students complain about the long morning hikes, particularly when the route contains a really big hill.60.According to the passage, how does Nia Parker go to school now?A. By bus.B. By car.C. On foot.D. By bike.61. In regards to walking to school, modern parents seem much concerned with the _____.A. safety of their kidsB. kids’ physical strengthC. time spent on the wayD. changes in the route62. To save money, some schools choose to _____.A. shorten the school weekB. take the shortest routesC. stop using school busesD. usefuel-efficient buses63. Busing cutbacks may lead to _____. A. fewer complaints about long morning hikesB. more students taking public transportationC. an increase in carbon dioxide emissionsD. a decrease in the safety of school buses【参考答案】60-63 CA A C阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项AWomen enjoy free time less than men, a new study finds. And it’s getting worse.When men have free time, they feel less rushed. However, women do not feel less rushed after work.The results suggest that mothers in particular feel the pressures of children and housework even when they have time to relax. The meanings of free time for men and women are quite different, said Saver, the assistant professor of this study.The study was based on two national surveys, one in the mid-1970s involving 708 people and the other in the late 1990s with 1,151 participants.The participants kept diaries on how they spent a specific 24-hour period. They were also asked how often they felt rushed during a typical day -- never, sometimes or always.The workload increased for women between 1975 and 1998, especially in comparison with men.In 1975, women and men had similar amounts of free time, but by 1998 women had had less leisure time than men."Women worked more hours in paid employment in 1998 than they did in 1975, Saver said. "The amount of time they spent in household labor decreased during that period, but not enough to offset (抵消) the increase in paid work hours."The chance of feeling sometimes or always rushed was more than twice as high for married women with children than it was for single, childless women, But men who were married and had children didn't feel more rushed than single, childless men.Saver said other research suggests women still feel more responsible for taking care of children and housework, even if men are doing more than they once did.1. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. Women won't think about their children or housework when they have free time.B. When men have free time, they will feel as rushed as when they are busy.C. Men spend more time at work than before, but they feel less rushed.D. After marriage, men also help to do some housework.2. The purpose of the author writing this article is to______.A. encourage women to enjoy more free timeB. introduce the results of current researchC. describe the differences between men and womenD. explain the reasons for women’s pressures3. Compared with single, childless men, men who were married _______.A. had to spend more time on workB. had to do more houseworkC. could enjoy less leisure timeD. didn't feel more rushed4. What would be the best title for the passage?A. Men Hold More Social ResponsibilitiesB. Women Suffer from More IllnessesC. Women Feel More Rushed than MenD.

Even with a new coat of paint and the high wire fence, the school I knew ten years ago remains the same.Every day at 5 p.m., instead of flying kites with our friends, my brother and I had to go to Vietnamese school. No amount of kicking, screaming, or arguing could stop my mother, who was determined to have us learn the language of our culture. She held us by the collar and walked with us the seven long, hilly blocks from our home to school, leaving our tearful faces before the front of the school.We all sat in little chairs in a big empty room, which had a slight smell of old clothes that had been stored for a long time. I hated that smell. There was a stage far to the right, with an American flag on one side and the flag of the Republic of Vietnam on the other side.Although the school mainly taught language - speaking, reading, dictation - the lessons always began with an exercise in politeness. With the entrance of the teacher, the best student would tap a bell and everyone would get up, and say in Vietnamese, "How are you, teacher?"The language always made me embarrassed. More often than not, I had tried to separate myself from the loud voice that followed me whenever I went to the American supermarket outside our area. The voice belonged to my grandmother, a small old woman who could shout louder than anyone on the street. Her Vietnamese was quick, it was loud, it was not beautiful.In our area, the comings and goings of hundreds of Vietnamese on their daily tasks sounded crazy. I did not want to be thought of as being mad, as talking stupid. When I spoke English, people nodded at me, smiled and encouraged me. Even Vietnamese people would laugh and say that I'd do well in life.My brother was even stricter than I about speaking English. He was especially cruel towards my mother, scolding her for her poor English. Bits of Vietnamese were often mixed in her conversation.After two years of struggle, I finally divorced my culture. I was permitted to stop Vietnamese school. I thought of myself as American. At last, I thought I was one of you; I wasn't one of them.Sadly, I am only an American.64. What can be learned from the passage?A. Th e author’s brother liked learning Vietnamese.B. The author’s mother taught him English at home.C. The author didn’t like learning Vietnamese when he was young.D. The author’s mother put her sons in a language school in Vietnam.65. The author often felt embarrassed because ________.A. his Vietnamese was not beautiful enoughB. he could not fly kites like other kids at schoolC. his grandma spoke Vietnamese loudly in publicD. his mother always treated him rudely in the market66. It can be inferred from the last paragraph that the author feels ________.A. frightenedB. peacefulC. satisfiedD. regretful67. What’s the theme of the passage?A. It is important to adapt to a new environment.B.It is important to appreciate your own culture.C. It is important to remember your childhood.D. It is important to learn a foreign language.【参考答案】64-67 CCDB。

2014高考英语阅读理解抓分训练题〔25〕与答案阅读理解------A 篇Sandra Cisneros was born in Chicago in 1954 to a Mexican American family. As the only girl in a family of seven children, she often felt like she had “seven fathers,〞because her six brothers, as well as her father, tried to control her. Feeling shy and unimportant, she retreated(躲避) into books. Despite her love of reading, she did not do well in elementary school because she was too shy to participate.In high school, with the encouragement of one particular teacher, Cisneros improved her grades and worked for the school literary magazine. Her father encouraged her to go to college because her thought it would be a good way for her to find a husband. Cisneros did attend college, but instead of searching for a husband, she found a teacher who helped her join the famous graduate writing program at the University of Iowa. At the university’s Writers’ Workshop, however, she felt lonely----a Mexican American from a poor neighborhood among students from wealthy families. The feeling of being so different helped Cisneros find her “Creative voice.〞“It was not until this moment when I considered myself truly different that my writing acquired a voice. I knew I was a Mexican woman, but I didn’t think it had anything to do with why I felt so much imbalance in my life, but it had everything to do with it! That’s when I decided I would write about something my classmates couldn’t write about.〞Cisneros published her first work, The House on Mango Street, when she was twenty-nine. The book tells about a young Mexican American girl growing up in a Spanish-speaking area in Chicago, much like the neighborhoods in which Cisneros lived as a child. The book won an award in 1985 and has been used in classes from high school through graduate school level. Since then, Cisneros has published several books of poetry, a children’s book, and a short-story collection.46. Which of the following is TRUE about Cisneros in her childhood?A. She had seven brothers.B. She felt herself a nobody.C. She was too shy to go to school.D. She did not have any good teachers.47. The graduate program gave Cisneros a chance to _____.A. work for a school magazineB. run away from her familyC. make a lot of friendsD. develop her writing style48. According to Cisneros, what played the decisive role in her success?A. Her early years in college.B. Her training in the Workshop.C. Her feeling of being different.D. Her childhood experience.49. What do we learn about The House on Mango Street?A. It is quite popular among students.B. It is the only book ever written by Cisneros.C. It wasn’t success as it was written in Spanish.D. It won an award when Cisneros was twenty-nine.参考答案46—49、BDCA阅读理解If your preschoolers turn up their noses at carrots or celery, a small reward like a sticker for taking even a taste may help get them to eat previously disliked foods, a UK study said.Though it might seem obvious that a reward could encourage young children to eat their vegetables, the idea is actually controversial, researchers wrote in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition. That’s because some studies have shown that rewards can backfire and cause children to lose interest in foods they already liked, said Jane Wardle, a researcher at University College London who worked on the study. Verbal praise, such as “Brilliant! You’re a great vegetable taster,〞 did not work as well.The study found t hat when parents gave their small children a sticker each time they took a “tiny taste〞 of a disliked vegetable, it gradually changed their attitudes. The children were also willing to eat more of the vegetables-either carrots,celery, cucumber, red pepper, cabbage or sugar snap peas-in laboratory taste tests, the study said.Researchers randomly assigned〔分派〕173 families to one of these groups. In one, parents used stickers to reward their children each time they took a tiny sample of a disliked vegetable. A second group of parents used verbal praise. The third group, where parents used no special vegetable-promoting methods, served as a “control〞.Parents in the reward groups offered their children a taste of the “target〞vegetable every day of 12 days, Soon after, children in the sticker group were giving higher ratings to the vegetables-and were willing to eat more in the research lab, going from an average of 5 grams at the start to about 10 grams after the 12-day experience. The turnaround also seemed to last, with preschoolers in the sticker group still willing to eat more of the once disliked vegetable three months later.Why didn’t the verbal praise work? Wardle said the parents’ words may have seemed “insincere〞 to their children.16．The purpose of writing the passage is.A．to introduce a practical method of making children eat vegetablesB．to show the procedure of an experiment on children’s dietC．to explain why children hate to eat vegetablesD．to present a proper way of vernal praise to parents17．The underlined word “backfire〞in Paragraph 2 probably means “〞.A．shoot from behind the back B．make a lire in the hackyardC．produce an unexpected result D．achieve what was planned 18．According to the passage, which of the following statements is true?A．Most children are born to dislike carrots or celery.B．It remains a question whether rewarding is a good way to get children to eat vegetables.C．Oral praise wokrs quite well in encouraging children to eat vegetables.D．Children in the sticker group will never lose interest in eating vegetables. 19．How did the researchers get their conclusion from the experiment?A．By comparison. B．By asking questions.C．By giving examples, D．By discussion. 20．What can we learn from the last paragraph?A．Children like rewards, not verbal praise.B．Parents should praise their children in a sincere tone.C．Children are difficult to inspire.D．Parents should give up verbal praise.参考答案16---20 ACBAB阅读如下短文，从每题所给的四个选项〔A、B、C和D〕中，选出最优选项。

We had 41 to meet at the restaurant at seven o’clock. I felt a little uneasy, but to my 42 I had a good excuse: A business meeting had 43 and I’d wasted no time getting to the dinner.When I arrived at the 44 I apologized and told Eleanor I didn’t mean to be late. She screamed, “You never mean to.”Well, I 45 tell she was angry. “I’m sorry but it was not 46 .” I said. Then I told her about the business meeting 47 my explanation seemed to make things worse, which started to drive 48 mad as well.Several weeks later, when I 49 the situation to my friend Ken Hardy, he smiled, “You50 a classic mistake. You’re stuck 51 your own way of thinking. You didn’t 52 to be late. But that’s not the point. What is 53 in your communication is how your lateness affected Eleanor.” He pointed out that I focused on the intention 54 Eleanor focused on the result.

Since then-for all these year—we had been allowing tomatoes to self-seed where they please. As result，the plants are growing somewhere。
