Answer 1

分析 本文主要讲述作者想读一本买不起的书，只好每天下午去书店一次读一点．一天，当他去往常的地方读那本书时，发现书不在了，正要离开时，店主说将书换个地方以防有人买走，他说完后，让作者继续看．

解答 Once I had to read a text-book which was so expensive for me to buy it．I couldn't obtain it from the library and an only copy I could find was in a certain bookshop．So I will go along to the shop every afternoon and read a little of th e book in a time．One day，therefore，I was disappointed to find the book missing from its usually place．He was about to leave when the owner of the shop waved at me．Expecting to be told off，I went towards him．To my surprise，the owner pointed to the book which∧placed in a corner．"I put it there in case it should be bought．"He said kindly，left me to continue my reading．
详解：
1．so改为too 考查固定搭配．too…to…句型为"too+形容词或副词+to do…"译为"太…而不能…"，它在形式上是肯定的，但在意义上是否定的．
2．去掉it 考查关系代词．本句是定语从句，故把it去掉．
3．an改为the 考查冠词．这里是特指，因后接有定语从句I could find was in a certain bookshop，用定冠词the．
4．will改为would 考查动词时态．全文讲述的是已发生的事情，用一般过去时．
5．in改为at 考查介词．at a time意为"一次，每次"，是固定搭配．
6．therefore改为however 考查副词．however表示转折，尤其用于谈及一个既成事实时，表示转折，其意为"可是""仍然"等．可放在句首、句中或句末，通常用逗号与句子其他成分隔开．
7．usually改为usual 考查形容词．place是名词，名词前应当用形容词修饰．
8．He改为I 考查代词．根据全文可知，此处用第一人称．
9．加was 考查动词语态．定语从句谓语应当用被动语态．或去掉which，过去分词短语placed in a corner作book的后置定语．
10．left改为leaving 考查现在分词．句中缺少连词，用and连接said和left作并列谓语；或用现在分词形式leaving作状语．

点评 高考短文改错题的形式有说明文，短文故事，书信等，具有很强的实用性．短文的内容和语言都符合高中学生的实际，从表面上看类似一篇学生习作．首先，通读全文，了解短文大意，把握全篇的时态、人称及行文逻辑，在通读全文时把一些容易的错误先改好，再进行逐句改错．其次，要进行逐个句子的改错．这是要对文中的词法、句法和语篇着重分析和特别注意．最后把改好的短文再阅读一遍，检查答案是否正确，感觉是否还有不妥之处，最终形成定稿．
