【答案】
61.加上to
62.tell--told
63.friend--friends
64.sing--singing
65.many--much
66.so--but
67.How--What
68.are--were
69.him--them
70.去掉with
【解析】
试题分析：文章主要通过一封求助信，写出了写信人的困扰。作者交了三个新朋友，经常一起去卡拉OK唱歌，但其实作者并不喜欢这样，他想知道自己该怎么做才不会失去这段友谊。
61.加上to考查动词want的用法，want用不定式担当状语，故加上to。句意为：我真地很想和你分享一下我经历的问题。
62.tell—told考查时态。根据时间状语lasttime可知，此句需要用一般过去时，故把tell 改成told。句意为正如我上次告诉你的那样。
63.friend—friends考查名词的复数。名词friend为可数名词，其前有three修饰，需要用复数形式，故把friend改成friends。句意为：我在这儿交了三个新朋友。
64.sing—singing考查动名词担当宾语。本句考查句型spend…（in）doingsth结构，故把sing改成singing。

高考英语题型专项 短文改错
第二部分题型专项短文改错 一、考点聚焦 1、题型特点 （1）词法内容。包括名词、代词的数与格，反身代词，动词时态语态，非谓语动词、短语动词的用法，不规则动词的变化形式，形容词的比较级，形容词副词的区别，介词的误用等。 （2）句法内容。包括主谓一致、指代一致，并列连词，从属连词等引导各种从句的关联词语，感叹句，疑问句，祈使句的结构等。 （3）行文逻辑。包括句子的肯定、否定、推理、判断等。 二、应试技巧点拨 （1）通读全文，了解文章主旨大意，确定文章的题材、体裁，把握文章的背景知识。 （2）逐句分析，把握结构。粗略分析词法、句法、逻辑上是否有问题。 （3）逐行修改，先易后难。 （4）复读全文，验证答案。一要注意错误点的分散与比例，二要注意答题是否合乎规范。 2、改错歌诀 现将本书编写者总结的短文改错歌诀提供给大家，希望有所帮助。 短文改错要做好，常见类型应记牢。 名词爱考“数”与“格”，冠词在前“错”“多”“少”。 动词时态和语态，非谓语搭配莫错了。 连代形副错一样，多是故意来混淆。 介词多半搭配，多漏误用想周到。 句法涉及到“一致”①，从句多考关系词。 词法句法均未错，逻辑推理去寻找。 “1126”惯常比②，回读复查敲定稿。 注：①“一致”：包括主谓一致，代词及相应的限定词在数、性、称方面的一致，主语与主语补语，宾语和宾语补语的一致等。②“1126”：指的是通常10个题项有一处是正确的，一处（或两处）属多余，两处（或
1. __________ 2. __________ 3. __________ 4. __________ 5. __________ 6. __________ 7. __________ 8. __________ 9. __________ 10. _________ 1. __________ 2. __________ 3. __________ 4. __________ 5. __________ 6. __________ 7. __________ 一处）需补加成分，6处需更改。当然，此非“定势”，仅作参考。 三、精典范例 例1 （NMET 2000） The day before the speech contest （比赛）English teacher talked to me. She saide that she and my schoolmate all wished me success, but it didn’t matter that I would win or not. When I was on the stage the next day, I felt so nervous as I shook like a leaf. There were so many people present! Suddenly, I caught a sight of my English teacher in the crowd. She was smiling but nodding at me. I remembered her words and calm down, I did a good jobm and won the first prize. Now my picture and the prize is hanging in the library. Whenever I see them I will often think of my English teacher. 解析 1. my English 。该题考查代词，绝大部分考生知道English teacher 前少一个词语，但很多人都误加上了our, an 或the,而后面两次出现my English teacher ，因而本题实际考查学生对文章内容的理解。 2. schoolmate → schoolmates 。schoolmate 应为复数形式。 3. that → whether 。whether 与后面的or not 相呼应。 4. 正确。 5. as → that 。把as 改成that ，组成so … that 结构。 6. a 去掉。catch sight of 是固定短语。 7．but → and 。意义的转折用but,意思并列用and 。 8. calm → calmed 。remembered 和calmed 是对应的。 9. is → are 。主语用and 连接，谓语动词用are 。 10. often 去掉。often 多余。 【例2】（2004年全国卷I ） Dear Ralph, I’m a newcomer here of a small town. I would describe myself as shy and quietly. Before my classmates, it seems always difficult for me to do things well as them. I’m sure they will laugh to me and see me as a fool. So I feel unhappy every day.

上海高考英语题型训练: 写作 2020高三第一学期期末质量抽查 IV. Summary Writing （10 分） Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point （s）of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible. 松江 It goes without saying that the language spoken by the majority of British people has the same name as the language spoken by most citizens of the U.S.A. Nonetheless, quite apart from well-documented lexical （词汇的）differences - pavement/sidewalk, lift/elevator, etc. - there are still some words and phrases which can cause confusion and misunderstanding between speakers of the two different forms. That's why sonic people say that Great Britain and the United States are nations separated by a common language. There are practical reasons for this. When the first English settlers arrived in what we now call America, the language they spoke was naturally the same as that spoken by their compatriots （同胞）on the other side of the Atlantic Ocean. However, they immediately saw things which didn't exist in Europe, often items used and made by Native Americans, such as canoes and moccasins and creatures such as buffalo. They also picked up words which they heard being used by other European immigrants. The word "boss”,for example, was used by settlers from Holland in New York in the mid-17th century. It comes from the Dutch word "baas'" which means master. The word "cookie" also comes from the Dutch "koekje”. There are many words, phrases and even grammatical structures which are mistaken for Americanisms （美式英语用语）in Britain when they are nothing of the sort. Very often, they represent not an American import, but an original form of British English which has disappeared in Britain. The verbs "guess” meaning think and “loan” me aning lend and the adjective "mad" meaning angry are frequently criticized as Americanisms, yet they all appeared in British English hundreds of years ago. In the case of “loan”, it was used as long ago as 1,200 years! In fact, English spoken in the UK has changed so thoroughly in the last 500 years that American English now represents the last place where some original British English forms can be found. 参考答案：Although American English and British English are the same language, there are great differences. Two reasons account for the phenomenon. New words were created after the first English settlers in America saw new things and learned words from other Europeans. Additionally, some original expressions have been changed by British people while they are still being used by Americans. 崇明 Giving Thanks This is the season for taking the time to reflect on what we're thankful for in life. Spending that time with friends and family to give thanks is what makes the holidays so special. But why should we limit it to just a few weeks in the years? Gratitude is a

(完整word)高考英语概要写作2篇题目及答案
阅读下面短文，根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要(2017宁波模拟) Many Chinese students have studied English for approximately ten years, but most of them cannot even speak English correctly or fluently. In my opinion, there are several obstacles that have caused this to happen. The main obstacle is fear! Another is the habit of mentally translating from Chinese to English and then to change these thoughts into spoken words and sentences. Many of these difficulties are caused by the way Chinese people study and learn the language. We must learn to speak as a child does. When we are learning a second language we need to remember how we learned our native language. Learning to understand and speak a language is one of the first skills a child develops. How does a child learn the language? He listens for a time and then he tries to repeat the words. Parents give great praise for the smallest effort and slightest improvement. Therefore, the child develops courage and is excited about learning. It takes a long time before he knows anything about grammar, spelling or formal sentence structures. As for language teachers, they should avoid criticism and be very encouraging and generous with praise. Criticism or pointing out faults too often causes students to lose self-confidence and develop a fear of speaking. The best way to motivate a student is using praise. The most important aspect of speaking is having good self-esteem. Self-esteem is how you feel about yourself. When most Chinese people are asked how their English is, or they are told their English is very good, they immediately respond by saying, "Oh my English is very poor." If you say this to yourself often enough, you will believe it. When someone compliments（称赞）you, just say "thank you". __________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________ 共（）词
2020新编高考英语短文改错常见错误类型汇总
高考英语短文改错 常见错误类型 高考英语改错题是考生感到棘手的题型之一。笔者对近几年的高考英语改错题作了细致的分析并加以归类后，发现错误类型主要集中在以下方面。（例题保留原题号） 1. 动词时态 每年都有时态错误的小题，而且改动基本集中在一般过去时与一般现在时之间。时态的更改要以上下文的主体时态为依据。 （1）（2003全国卷）She liked it very much and reads it to the class. All said the story was... 84. read （and连接并列谓语） （2）（2004江苏卷）At once I apologize and controlled myself... 83. apologized （and连接并列谓语） （3）（2004全国卷）Sometimes, we talked to each other very well in class,... 82. talk （根据sometimes可判断此句为一般现在时） （4）（2005全国卷Ⅱ）I will write again and send you the photos we take together. 85. took （把照片寄给你，应该是已经拍好的，用过去时） （5）（2005全国卷Ⅰ）There are advantage for students to work while studying at school. One of them was that they can earn money. 77. is （从上下文判断，应该是现在时，谓语用is） （6）（2005江苏卷）We named him Jack and keep him for about three years. 76. kept （and连接并列谓语） 2. 名词单复数 单复数互改是高考英语改错题的基本题型之一，改动的依据有：一是根据名词前的修饰限定成份；二是根据上下文的逻辑关系。 （1）（2003全国卷）Their word were a great encouragement to me. 85. words （是把word改为words 还是把were改为was，根据名词前的修饰限定词their来决定。） （2）（2004江苏）that was a dinner we had waited for several month. 85. months （several修饰复数名词） （3）（2004全国卷Ⅰ）a few minute on the Internet. 77. minutes （a few修饰复数名词） （4）（2005全国卷Ⅱ）But one and a half year later. 79. years （one and a half意思为一年半，故判断此处year应为复数形式） （5）（2005全国卷Ⅰ）There are advantage for students to work... 76. advantages （从there are 判断应该用名词复数） 3. 句子结构 句子结构方面的错误范围庞大，解答高考英语改错题主要可以从以下几方面来思考：1）句子结构是否完整，成份是否冗缺；2）单词的词性与其在句中的功能是否相符；3）主谓一致；4）复合句中连接主句和从句的关系词或引导词的运用是否得当等。 （1）（2004 全国卷）I won’t be able to meet you at the airport although I have classes in the afternoon. 78. because/as （复合句中连接主句和从句的关系词运用不当） （2）（2004 全国卷Ⅱ）I don’t know that they don’t like to talk with me. 81. why （复合句中连接主句和从句的关系词运用不当） （3）（2005全国卷Ⅰ）For the most part, students working to earn money for their own use. 78. work （缺谓语动词） （4）（2005全国卷Ⅰ）Earning their own money allow them to spend on anything if they like. 79. allows （主语是动名词短语Earning their own money，谓语应该用单数） （5）（2005江苏卷）But the most wonderful thing about Jack were his musical ability. 84. was

高考英语复习 短文改错的题型及要求
2008高考英语复习短文改错的题型及要求 短文改错是单句改错，单项填空，阅读理解和书面表达的综合，是全面考察学生的英语基础知识和灵活运用语言能力的测试题型。比较其它题型来说，增大测试难度，对学生提出了更高的要求，对于考生的基本功是一个严峻的考验，对于中学的英语教学的基本功训练也是一个有力的挑战。短文改错共10小题，10行左边标有题号。要求考生判断是否有错，如有错误则将其改正。错误的类型包括词法，句法，语篇结构，行文逻辑等。因此要求考生不仅要掌握词汇，语法方面的良好的语言基础知识，还要具有在词义，词性，词型，句型，用法结构方面一定的语言综合能力。短文改错题是难度最大的一个考题，因为这种考题要求考生判断和改正错误，而这种错误又是一般人在学习英语中最容易犯的错误，并且很难觉察。在学习中模棱两可，似是而非，一知半解的状况普遍存在。所以，在学习和复习英语时，要注意养成良好的学习习惯。 短文改错的特点 1。没有现成的答案可供选择，判断的依据只有短文本身。这就意味着，题目本身在内容上应该是完整的。既然内容完整正确，那么其中的错误一般只会涉及语言形式。 2。是否有错，错在那里，范围很大。这就要求考生对英语句子各个层次的结构和词语的拼写形式了如指掌。 3。错误一般只涉及一个词，多一词，少一词，或错一词。 短文改错的解题思路 做短文改错题的思路，即从那里来寻找错误，可归纳为以下几个方面： 1。主谓是否一致。 2。代词的指代是否明确恰当。 3。动词的时态是否正确，语态是否得当。 4。句型和固定搭配是否准确无误。 5。同义词，近义词，易混词是否用得确切。 6。语序是否正确。 7。句与句，段与段的承接词用得是否正确。 短文改错的解题方法
高中英语概要写作题型解读与技巧
概要写作题型解读与技巧 第一部分概要写作总体介绍 1.题型介绍 ◆选材特点 (1)所需阅读的短文词数在350以内; (2)所选材料体裁没有限制，以说明文、议论文和记叙文为主。 ◆评分参考 阅卷时主要考虑以下内容： (1)对原文要点的理解和呈现情况; (2)应用语法结构和词汇的准确性; (3)上下文的连贯性; (4)对各要点表达的独立性情况。 注意：理解准确，涵盖全部要求，完全使用自己的语言，准确使用相应的语法结构和词汇，得分相应比较高。相反，如果概要写作部分出现两句以上整句抄自原文现象，得分档次将会大大降低;所写内容与所提供内容无关不得分。 2考查能力 概要写作，简言之就是对所读过的文章简要概括，写出文章的中心大意，也可称之为摘要。写概要时，读者要是把文章的具体信息用一些具有概括功能的词和句表述出来，而不是抄袭文章的原句，更不是把细节性信息作为中心，而是要通过对文章中的单词、词组和句子进行合理转换，对文章的具体信息进行概括，再用合适的语言表述出来。这一题型主要考查学生对文章主旨大意的概括和准确获取关键词的能力，同时考查学生用简洁的语言概括文章重要信息的能力以及对文章整体结构的把握能力。因此，概要写作是基于阅读理解和书面表达，是二者的有机结合体，是阅读理解和书面表达的沟通桥梁。 第二部分概要写作步骤和方法 一．概括的写作步骤： 1. 确定主题句。确定阅读文章的主题句，一般在段首。没有主题句的需要自己组合。 2. 寻找关键词。分析主题句意义，确定关键词，关键词一般体现为名词、形容词，关键词的数目决定了概括的信息浓度。 3. 重构主题句。概括的主题句逻辑上要统摄后面所有的支撑句。可以从作者的写作目的逆推，反映写作目的主题句是高度抽象的，它基本决定了概括的质量。

Last week my parents and I took a two-days trip to Emei Mountain in Sichuan. As every one knows, it’s famous mountain with all kinds of plants and animals. The weather was fine. It was about noon we arrived at the foot of the mountain. The three of them were very excited. As we climbed the mountain, we fed monkeys, visiting temples and told stories. On the way up I was busy taking picture since the scenery was so beautiful. The time passes quickly. Evening came down. We spent the night in a hotel at the top of the mountain. The food was expensive and the service was good. I was so tired that I fell asleep at the moment my head touched the pillow. （二） Many teachers worry about the effects of television with young people. According to studies, many children spend more time watching television than they spend in school. Because so much viewing, children may not be develop the habit of read and the ability to enjoy themselves. No one worries much about the radio program young people listen to, although radios can be very noise. Teachers also wonder about the effects of television commercials.

But his parents think go to college is more important than playing sports and college was the only place for a smart boy like his son. So my friend had no choice. He wanted to make their parents happy. (四) When I first learned to write English, I ran into many difficulties . The main problem was in that I always thought in Chinese and tried to translate anything into English. My teacher advised me to keep my diary. I followed her advice and should put down 100 words or so each day. Soon I began to enjoy talk to myself on paper as I was learning to express me in simple English .One day I wrote a little story and showed to my teacher .She liked it very much and reads it to the class .All said the story was a good one. Their word were a great encouragement to me. （五） Dear Ralph, I’m a newcomer here of a small town. I would describe myself as shy and quietly. Before my classmates, it seems always difficult for me to do things as well them. I'm sure they will laugh to me and see me as a fool. So I feel happy every day. Besides, I have few friends. I don't know that they don't like to talk with me. Sometimes, we talked to each other very well in class, but after class we become stranger at once. I am trying to improve the situation since it doesn’t seem to work. Can you tell me about what I should do? Yours, Xiao Wei
