   1．That改成 It 考查代词．  句意为：自从上次在中国见面已经很长时间了．这里使用了句型：It has been+一段时间+since…，因此That改成 It
   2．meet改成 met 考查时态．since后面和一般过去式连用，所以meet改成 met
   3．finally--final，考查形容词，通过最后一次考试后．用形容词final修饰exams
   4．two-weeks--two-week，考查名词单复数． 句意为：我在忙于计划去美国的两星期的旅行．two-week是复合形容词，"两星期的"，week不能用复数
   5．America--American，考查形容词． 句意为：你有去美国城市旅行的建议吗？America"美国"，改成形容词：American"美国的"
   6．去掉prefer后的to，考查介词搭配．我更喜欢大的现代化的城市．Prefer是及物动词：去掉to
   7．for后面加a，考查冠词．句意为：象我这么大的男孩的价格是多少？boy是可数名词，前面加不定冠词：for后面加a
   8．myself--me  考查人称代词，这里用反身代词myself意思不通，改成me
   9．after 改成when/if 考查连词．当/如果我在美国的两个城市之间旅游，交通怎样？after 改成when/if
   10．hearing改成 hear 考查不定式． 句意为：希望收到你的来信．Hope to do sth，所以hearing改成 hear．

点评 改错题要注意代词，连词以及词性、人称的转化．
做好短文改错题，可以从以下三方面去考虑：1．快速阅读短文，如抓住中心思想，从整体上对短文有个了解． 2．充分运用语言的基础知识，从句型结构、词的变化、词类选择、词的搭配、习惯用法出发，进行分析判断，尽快找出错误在何处． 3．重视整体和语境，从上下文关系中找出表达连接关系或逻辑关系的词或词组，判断是递进关系还是转折关系，是因果关系还是让步关系．
