短文改错全解析一、查时态是否一致 时态错误几乎是每年 NMET 短文改错中必设的改错题。要有目的地去检查文中的每一个谓语动词的时态与上 下文、语境以及该句的时间状语是否相符和一致。例如： 1.Today, it is much easier to be healthy than it is inthe past. (NMET' 93) is 应改为 was， 使之与时间状语 in the past 一致。 2.I had always wanted to return to the village aftermoving away. And it is really grea t to see most of my oldfriends again. (NMET' 95)is 应改为 was，与前面分句的时态一致。 3.They offered me coffee and other drinks. We have a goodtime talking and laughing together .(NMET' 96)have 与前面句子中 offered 时态不一致，应改为 had。 4.Hello, I learn about you from my English teacher, MissFang.(NMET'97)learn（得知）在这里不 是表示一个经常发生的动作，应改为过去时 learned。（本来此处还可改为 have learned， 由于“短文改错” 题要求，每行只允许改一个错误，故have learned 不能接受。） 5.My favourite sport is football.I was a member of ourfootball team.(NMET'98)全文都是用的 一般现在时，此句中的 was 显然与上下文语境不符，应改为 am。 6.Last Sunday, police cars hurry to the taller buildingin New York…(NMET' 92)hurry 应改为 hurried， 才可与时间状语 lastSunday 一致。 二、查主谓是否一致 在检查谓语动词的时态和语态是否正确的同时，还要注意检查该动词在人称和数上是否与主语保持了一致 。例如： 1.Anyone may borrow books, and it cost nothing to borrowthem. (NMET' 94)cost 应改为 costs，因 其主语是 it（为形式主语），且上下文均为一般现在时。 2.The new boy or girl in school quickly become one of theclass…(NMET'93)由or 连接的两个以上 的主语应由靠近谓语的主语来决定谓语的单复数形式，故 become 应改为 becomes。 3.Playing football not only…but also give us a sense offair play and team spirit. ( N MET'98) 此句的主语是 playingfootball，视为第三人称单数，其谓语 give 应改为 gives。 4.There are branch library in many vil...
