短文改錯題具有“高起點、低落點”的特點,對學(xué)生的語言感覺和語言能力要求較高,但改正的錯誤往往比較簡單。很多學(xué)生做不好改錯題不是因為沒有掌握這些語法知識,而是不能通過語感找出錯誤。所以培養(yǎng)學(xué)生有意識地去注意一些高考短文改錯的常考點非常重要。
綜合近年的高考題我們可以看出主要在以下語法項目上設(shè)題:
1.名詞和限制詞的搭配
主要涉及可數(shù)、不可數(shù)名詞與冠詞、指示代詞、物主代詞的錯誤搭配,以及名詞的單復(fù)數(shù)的誤用。
2.動詞的時態(tài)、語態(tài)以及非謂語動詞
常出現(xiàn)在總體時態(tài)為過去或現(xiàn)在時中間雜有另一時態(tài)的現(xiàn)象,以及動詞的謂語與非謂語形式、非謂語動詞之間的誤用。
3.代詞的誤用
主要是代詞的格與數(shù)的誤用。如男性用了女性代詞,單數(shù)用了復(fù)數(shù)代詞或相反;應(yīng)當用形容詞性的物主代詞用了名詞性的等。
4.數(shù)詞的誤用
主要是序數(shù)詞與基數(shù)詞的混用和誤用,以及hundred, thousand, dozen, score等詞和具體數(shù)詞連用時的用法以及表示約數(shù)的用法。
5.形容詞與副詞
主要涉及到形容詞和副詞的原級、比較級與最高級的誤用,以及形容詞和副詞的誤用等。
6.考查英語中的并列現(xiàn)象
在一些英語的并列結(jié)構(gòu)中沒有用并列的語法結(jié)構(gòu),如并列連詞連接的兩個部分等。
7.考查上下文的邏輯關(guān)系
but, and, so, however, otherwise等一些并列連詞和連接副詞的誤用。before, after, when,until, since等狀語從句引導(dǎo)詞的誤用等。還有肯定和否定的誤用等。
8.一些相似結(jié)構(gòu)的誤用
如used to do, be used to do, be used to doing等結(jié)構(gòu)的誤用。
9.慣用法的搭配
改錯步驟:
上述9個方面,同學(xué)們在做題時只要稍加留意,找出錯誤的比率就會增大很多。做短文改錯題時一般遵循以下幾個步驟:
1.先通讀全文。認真閱讀短文,在做題之前確保已經(jīng)弄清原文大意。注意文章中上下文的邏輯關(guān)系是否正確,時態(tài)、人稱、主謂、指代等是否一致。
2.聚焦出題熱點、綜合運用所學(xué)語言知識,分句(注意以句子為單位而不是以行為單位)對不同的錯誤情況進行分析和回答(即改詞、加詞或減詞)。
3.再次通讀全文,校對自己的改正是否正確。一般各種改錯的方式都應(yīng)該用到,如果出現(xiàn)了某一種改法(如加詞、減詞等)沒有用到,要考慮自己的改錯應(yīng)該有問題,要對剛才不是很有把握的行進行推敲。在自己認為正確的行后劃勾,并且校對其他行改正的符號是否準確,大小寫是否拼寫正確(這點同學(xué)們很容易忽視)。如果某一行有兩種改錯方式要推敲哪一種是最佳改法。
