I was a Northern newcomer to a Southern adult community. I knew no one and was feeling lonely. I wanted to make new friends very much.
Day after day, I saw groups of cyclists riding throughout the community and beyond the gates. Dressed in black riding shorts, brightly colored biking shirts, gloves and helmets, they appeared to be having a great time together. I looked longingly at them as they rode in pace lines of eight to twelve riders.
I knew how to ride a bike, but couldn't imagine myself ever accomplishing the level of riding I saw. One day I read an article in the community newspaper inviting those who are interested in biking to join a beginner's cycling group. It is not like me to join something where I know no one, but I pushed myself to attend an organizational meeting. I immediately began chatting with two women and we agreed on our first group ride taking place later in the week.
Twelve men and women ventured out on our first eight-mile ride. We slowly rode in a long line through the quiet streets of our community. We began to meet three times a week, and steadily increased our distance and speed. Stopping for food became the rule and we soon adopted our slogan, "We bike for food." As we sat chatting over coffee, strong friendships began to form. Many of us found we had other interest in common and began exploring it together.
All of these new friendships were made possible by taking that first step outside my comfort zone. Now I ride 100 miles a week, have improved my health, and have more friends than I ever imagined. Taking that first step and trying something new opened up a whole new world of fun and friendships for me.

Nature is like a great magician, performing wonders on Earth. One of them is the Amazon rainforest, the world's largest and home to millions of plants and animals. Nicknamed "the lungs of our planet", it generates about one-fifth of Earth's oxygen. However, this wonderful natural wonder is currently in dange.
Thousands of fires have broken out in Brazil, endangering much of the rainforest. These blazes have lasted several weeks and are believed to be the "most intense" in almost a decade, according to BBC News.
The Amazon has seen a large number of fires in 2019. Between January and August, there were over 74,000 fires the highest number since 2013, the BBC reported.
Forest fires are common during the dry season, which runs from July to October. They are usually caused by natural events, such as lightning strikes. However, most of the fires this year are believed to be caused by farmers, who use fire as a traditional part of tropical agriculture to clean land, reported CNN.
The disaster has raised concern around the world. The Amazon rainforest is important for preventing climate change, said the BBC, absorbing millions of tons of carbon annually. When trees are cut down or burned, the rainforest's capacity （能力）to absorb carbon is reduced.
Brazilian climate expert Carlos Nobre told Reuters he's worried. If more than 20 percent of the ecosystem is destroyed, the Amazon rainforest could reach a "tipping point （临界点）where the thick jungle will turn into a tropical savannah （大草原）.
Nobre warned that it is not far off, with between 15 and 17 percent of the rainforest having already been destroyed.
The Brazilian government has sent soldiers to fight the fires. Many people have offered their support and called for recovery efforts. For example, Tim Cook, CEO of Apple, said he wanted to donate money and US Actor Leonardo DiCaprio's environmental charity, Earth Alliance, created a donation fund to help deal with the crisis.
The public are also encouraged to donate to charities concerned with rainforest preservation （保护）."Every little bit helps in a tragic situation like this," commented Gizmodo.
8. The underlined word "intense" in Para.2 probably means _______.
A. natural B. fierce C. common D. unexpected
9. What is the main cause of forest fires in the Amazon rainforest this year?
A. Lightning strikes. B. Hot weather.
C. Agricultural activities. D. Garbage left by tourists.
10. What was Nobre worried about in the article?
A. Global temperatures will rise.
B. The Amazon rainforest is close to disappearing.
C. Animals in the Amazon rainforest are under threat.
D. It will take decades for the Amazon rainforest to recover.
11. What are the last two paragraphs mainly about?
A. What the Brazilian government has done to fight fires.
B. Celebrities who care about rainforest preservation.
C. The possible future of the Amazon rainforest.
D. Efforts made to save the Amazon rainforest.

细节理解题。根据第六、七段Brazilian climate expert Carlos Nobre told Reuters he's worried. If more than 20 percent of the ecosystem is destroyed, the Amazon rainforest could reach a “tipping point （临界点）” where the thick jungle will turn into a tropical savannah （大草原）.”可知，卡洛斯·诺布雷担心如果超过20%的生态系统被破坏，亚马逊雨林可能会达到一个“临界点”，茂密的丛林将变成热带大草原。所以他是担心雨林会灭绝，故选B。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据最后两段中描述government，many people，the public所做贡献，可知，这都是为了保护雨林做的努力。故选D。
D
Many small-business owners watched recent revelations about Facebook with mixed emotions. Like most Americans, they were surprised to discover how much information the social media giant collected on its users. But when it comes to small business, Facebook is a transformative advertising platform for small businesses, not easy to replace.
Let's say you own a small seafood restaurant, and Tuesday nights are $1 oyster （牡蛎）nights. Traditional advertising methods cost a lot and must be planned long in advance, and ifs hit-or-miss as to whether you actually get in front of oyster eaters. With Facebook, on Tuesday morning, with a few clicks, you can target Facebook users in your Zip code who love oysters and eating out （and are over age 21, so they can buy drinks, which is why you have $1 oyster nights）. And you can do this for as little as S20.
In my work with small businesses for more than 25 years, I've never seen a more effective method of micro-targeting prospects. Though Facebook is an effective tool for small-business, advertising does not justify （证明合理）the company's collecting vast amounts of data or allowing users' data to be invaded.
"Our primary concern was people's experience on Facebook," said Dan Levy, Facebook's Vice President. "Our teams have also been speaking to small businesses, and they want to make sure we're addressing the situation, and we are."
One concern small businesses want Facebook to address is protecting their uploaded lists. No one wants their customers' information misused or accessed by others, especially competitors.
Small-business owners are rightfully concerned about privacy. They don't want Facebook to know everything about them, and they don't want their customer lists to be let out to others.
But small businesses don't want to lose this effective advertising medium, either. Most Facebook ads are not invasive or offensive. And many receivers may actually benefit from receiving highly targeted ads—after all, those oyster lovers like learning about Tuesday night— $1 oyster night.
12. How does the author explain Facebook's function in Paragraph 2?
A. By performing an experiment. B. By leading a survey・
C. By analyzing the data・ D. By giving an example.
13. What is the author's attitude towards Facebook mentioned in Paragraph 3?
A. Objective. B. Supportive.
C. Doubtful D. Respectful.
14. What makes small businesses concerned about Facebook according to the text?
A. What people experience on Facebook.
B. That Facebook updates the lists constantly.
C That their competitors benefit more from Facebook.
D. That Facebook will give away their customer lists.
15. What can be the best title of the text?
A. Facebook is benefiting small businesses
B. Facebook, a mixed bag for small businesses
C. Facebook is protecting customers5 privacy
D. Facebook, a powerful advertisement tool
【答案】12. D 13. A 14. D 15. B
【解析】
本文是一篇议论文。Facebook是小企业广告的有效工具，但是它也存在一些弊端如泄露顾客的私人信息等等，让小企业对它爱恨交加。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段Let's say you own a small seafood restaurant, and Tuesday nights are $1 oyster(牡蛎) nights. Traditional advertising methods cost a lot and must be planned long in advance, and it's hit-or-miss as to whether you actually get in front of oyster eaters. With Facebook, on Tuesday morning, with a few clicks, you can target Facebook users in your Zip code who love oysters and eating out (and are over age 21, so they can buy drinks, which is why you have $1 oyster nights). And you can do this for as little as $ 20.可知，作者是通过举例子的方式来释Facebook的功能。故选D。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段In my work with small businesses for more than 25 years, I've never seen a more effective method of micro-targeting prospects. Though Facebook is an effective tool for small-business, advertising does not justify(证明…合理) the company's collecting vast amounts of data or allowing users' data to be invaded. 作者对于Facebook极尽赞美但是又指出它的弊端，由此可推断，作者的态度是客观公正的。故选A。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据Small-business owners are rightfully concerned about privacy. They don't want Facebook to know everything about them, and they don't want their customer list to be let out to others.可知，小企业担心Facebook会泄露客户的隐私。故选D。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。本文主要讲述小企业主对Facebook复杂的情绪，D项“Facebook, a mixed bag for small business”是本文最好的标题。故选B。

2.通过理解段落的首句，也可明确每段的大意，根据前后语境，上下联系。有时只需从空格所在句子的上文或下文考虑；有时需要从空格所在句子的前后2-3句考虑；还有的可能要从整个段落或整篇文章给予考虑，才可选出正确选项。本题第5小题，根据下文可知这棵树对“我”起着一种激励作用，提醒我积极向上，所以对“我”而言，这棵树就是一种象征。而且下文 It was a reminder to me 也是提示。答案选A。

这是一篇说明文。介绍了正在迅速发展的全球旅游业，但有一个例外——因为种种原因，美国在国际游客中不那么受欢迎。
【41题详解】
考查副词。句意：全球旅游业正发展迅速。本句谓语动词是is developing，要用副词修饰is developing，说明发展的速度如何，故填quickly。
【42题详解】
考查冠词。句意：美国人曾经是这个行业最大的推动者。根据形容词最高级biggest可知此处用the，故填the。
【43题详解】
考查时态。句意：去年，中国人比其他任何国家的人旅行和消费的都要多。句子时间是Last year，主语是more Chinese people，因此应该用一般过去时时态，travel的过去式是travel(l)ed，故填travel(l)ed。
【44题详解】
考查连词。句意：随着新兴市场国家的中产阶级越来越富裕，他们的旅行预算也在增长。这里表示伴随的情况，随着新兴市场国家的中产阶级越来越富裕，as在这里是连词，意为“随着”，句首要注意大写。故填As。
【45题详解】
考查现在分词作结果状语。句意：印度游客的数量也在增加，还有约旦、澳大利亚和以色列等国，让印度人更容易获得签证。主句是The number of Indian travelers is also rising印度游客的数量也在增加，因此就使得印度人更容易获得签证，这里用现在分词表示结果状语。故填making。
【46题详解】
考查名词复数。句意：尽管只有7%的中国公民持有护照。谓语是have，主语中国公民， passport，是可数名词，故护照也要用复数，故填passports。
【47题详解】
考查名词。句意：墨西哥是美国人的首选。the number one第一，后接名词单数形式，故填choice。
【48题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：与此同时，欧洲人倾向于留在欧洲，约90%的欧洲游客在欧洲过夜。名词nights与spend是逻辑上的动宾关系，且句中还有by，应该用过去分词spent，表示被动，故填spent。
【49题详解】
考查介词。句意：世界上大部分地区的旅游业都在增长，只有一个显著的例外。根据exception“例外”可知这里是指前面句子情况的例外，是一种伴随关系，故填with。
【50题详解】
考查形容词比较级。句意：对穆斯林国家人们的旅行禁令、更多的签证检查和美元走强使得美国在国际游客中不那么受欢迎。根据句中形容词比较级more可知此处应该也用形容词比较级，修饰名词 dollar，故填stronger。

Dear Xiaoming,
I am a editor of English Comer. I've received your letter ask me to give you some advice on how to learn English well. Here are some of my suggestions.
First of all, I suggest you should read English word, sentences and short articles aloud every morning. Meanwhile, you should try to memorize the useful sentences as much as possible and recite some short passages as well. Moreover, it suggested that you read a great variety of books after school. Last but not least, a certain amount of time should be spent about listening exercises.
As long as you can make good use of our spare time to learn English, surely, you will make rapid progress. Just as an old saying go, “Where there is a will, and there is a way.” If you stick to your dream and study hard, I'm sure you will become successfully in your English study.
Yours,
Li Hua
【答案】1.将a改为an
2.将ask改为asking
3.将word改为words
4.将 much 改为 many
5.在suggested前加上is
6.将about改为on
7.将our改为your
8.将go改为goes
9.将and去掉
10.将successfully改为successful
【解析】
【分析】
这是一封建议信。英语角的编辑李华回复小明关于怎么学好英语的一些建议。
【详解】1.考查冠词。句中editor是元音开头的单词，要用an来限定，故将a改为an。
2. 考查非谓语动词。句中ask作letter的后置定语，且ask与letter之间构成主谓关系，要用现在分词形式，故将ask改为asking。
3．考查名词。句意表达的是泛指，要用可数名词的复数形式，故将word改为words。
4．考查形容词。句中修饰的是可数名词复数sentences，要用many来修饰，故将much改为many。
5．考查语态。句中suggest与主语it之间构成动宾关系，要用被动语态，时态是一般现在时，故在suggested前加is。
6．考查介词。分析句子结构可知，句子主语是time，谓语是should be spent，宾语是listening exercises，这里是花费时间在听力练习上面，应该用介词on，故将about改为on。
7．考查代词。根据后面常用短语spare time“空余时间”，这里是指你的空余时间，故要把形容词性物主代词our改为your。故将our改为your。
8．考查主谓一致。句中的主语an old saying是单数，谓语动词要用第三人称单数形式。故将go改为goes。
9．考查连词。句中where引导地点状语从句，主句不能再用连词。故将and去掉。
10．考查副词。在句中become是系动词，后接形容词做表语，successfully是副词，故将successfully改为successful。
【点睛】这是一封书信，讲述了如何学好英语的问题：首先，要多读多背；其次要多扩大阅读量；还有多听。只要善于利用空余时间，一定可以学好，因为有志者事竟成。
短文改错题考查的是语境理解能力和用法基础知识。常考的知识点有：名词（单复数错误），动词（时态，语态，搭配，转换），代词（指代错误），形容词和副词（转换，比较等级），连词（and，but，or）等。偶尔也会考查代词词类错误，如第7题本来用your，却用了our等等。解题是要注意：以句子为单位，以动词为中心；看句子要看完整，避免句子前后矛盾的错误；找错误要以动词为主，动词或与动词有关的错误占了改错的题的重要一部分。

I was a Northern newcomer to a Southern adult community. I knew no one and was feeling lonely. I wanted to make new friends very much.
Day after day, I saw groups of cyclists riding throughout the community and beyond the gates. Dressed in black riding shorts, brightly colored biking shirts, gloves and helmets, they appeared to be having a great time together. I looked longingly at them as they rode in pace lines of eight to twelve riders.
I knew how to ride a bike, but couldn't imagine myself ever accomplishing the level of riding I saw. One day I read an article in the community newspaper inviting those who are interested in biking to join a beginner's cycling group. It is not like me to join something where I know no one, but I pushed myself to attend an organizational meeting. I immediately began chatting with two women and we agreed on our first group ride taking place later in the week.
Twelve men and women ventured out on our first eight-mile ride. We slowly rode in a long line through the quiet streets of our community. We began to meet three times a week, and steadily increased our distance and speed. Stopping for food became the rule and we soon adopted our slogan, "We bike for food." As we sat chatting over coffee, strong friendships began to form. Many of us found we had other interest in common and began exploring it together.
All of these new friendships were made possible by taking that first step outside my comfort zone. Now I ride 100 miles a week, have improved my health, and have more friends than I ever imagined. Taking that first step and trying something new opened up a whole new world of fun and friendships for me.

A. Because he just moved there and had no friends.
B. Because he couldn't ride a bike as well as others.

A They had meals together.
B. They rode slowly in a long line.
C. They set a riding goal together.
D. They rode through the quiet streets.
7. What can be the best title for the text?

B. Riding---the road to friendship
C. Friends---the best medicine for loneliness

Nature is like a great magician, performing wonders on Earth. One of them is the Amazon rainforest, the world's largest and home to millions of plants and animals. Nicknamed "the lungs of our planet", it generates about one-fifth of Earth's oxygen. However, this wonderful natural wonder is currently in dange.
Thousands of fires have broken out in Brazil, endangering much of the rainforest. These blazes have lasted several weeks and are believed to be the "most intense" in almost a decade, according to BBC News.
The Amazon has seen a large number of fires in 2019. Between January and August, there were over 74,000 fires the highest number since 2013, the BBC reported.
Forest fires are common during the dry season, which runs from July to October. They are usually caused by natural events, such as lightning strikes. However, most of the fires this year are believed to be caused by farmers, who use fire as a traditional part of tropical agriculture to clean land, reported CNN.
The disaster has raised concern around the world. The Amazon rainforest is important for preventing climate change, said the BBC, absorbing millions of tons of carbon annually. When trees are cut down or burned, the rainforest's capacity （能力）to absorb carbon is reduced.
Brazilian climate expert Carlos Nobre told Reuters he's worried. If more than 20 percent of the ecosystem is destroyed, the Amazon rainforest could reach a "tipping point （临界点）where the thick jungle will turn into a tropical savannah （大草原）.
Nobre warned that it is not far off, with between 15 and 17 percent of the rainforest having already been destroyed.
The Brazilian government has sent soldiers to fight the fires. Many people have offered their support and called for recovery efforts. For example, Tim Cook, CEO of Apple, said he wanted to donate money and US Actor Leonardo DiCaprio's environmental charity, Earth Alliance, created a donation fund to help deal with the crisis.
The public are also encouraged to donate to charities concerned with rainforest preservation （保护）."Every little bit helps in a tragic situation like this," commented Gizmodo.
8. The underlined word "intense" in Para.2 probably means _______.
A. natural B. fierce C. common D. unexpected
9. What is the main cause of forest fires in the Amazon rainforest this year?
A. Lightning strikes. B. Hot weather.
C. Agricultural activities. D. Garbage left by tourists.
10. What was Nobre worried about in the article?
A. Global temperatures will rise.
B. The Amazon rainforest is close to disappearing.
C. Animals in the Amazon rainforest are under threat.
D. It will take decades for the Amazon rainforest to recover.
11. What are the last two paragraphs mainly about?
A. What the Brazilian government has done to fight fires.
B. Celebrities who care about rainforest preservation.
C. The possible future of the Amazon rainforest.
D. Efforts made to save the Amazon rainforest.
【答案】8. B 9. C 10. B 11. D

【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据最后两段中描述government，many people，the public所做贡献，可知，这都是为了保护雨林做的努力。故选D。

Many small-business owners watched recent revelations about Facebook with mixed emotions. Like most Americans, they were surprised to discover how much information the social media giant collected on its users. But when it comes to small business, Facebook is a transformative advertising platform for small businesses, not easy to replace.
Let's say you own a small seafood restaurant, and Tuesday nights are $1 oyster （牡蛎）nights. Traditional advertising methods cost a lot and must be planned long in advance, and ifs hit-or-miss as to whether you actually get in front of oyster eaters. With Facebook, on Tuesday morning, with a few clicks, you can target Facebook users in your Zip code who love oysters and eating out （and are over age 21, so they can buy drinks, which is why you have $1 oyster nights）. And you can do this for as little as S20.
In my work with small businesses for more than 25 years, I've never seen a more effective method of micro-targeting prospects. Though Facebook is an effective tool for small-business, advertising does not justify （证明合理）the company's collecting vast amounts of data or allowing users' data to be invaded.
"Our primary concern was people's experience on Facebook," said Dan Levy, Facebook's Vice President. "Our teams have also been speaking to small businesses, and they want to make sure we're addressing the situation, and we are."
One concern small businesses want Facebook to address is protecting their uploaded lists. No one wants their customers' information misused or accessed by others, especially competitors.
Small-business owners are rightfully concerned about privacy. They don't want Facebook to know everything about them, and they don't want their customer lists to be let out to others.
But small businesses don't want to lose this effective advertising medium, either. Most Facebook ads are not invasive or offensive. And many receivers may actually benefit from receiving highly targeted ads—after all, those oyster lovers like learning about Tuesday night— $1 oyster night.
12. How does the author explain Facebook's function in Paragraph 2?
A. By performing an experiment. B. By leading a survey・
C. By analyzing the data・ D. By giving an example.
13. What is the author's attitude towards Facebook mentioned in Paragraph 3?
A. Objective. B. Supportive.
C. Doubtful D. Respectful.
14. What makes small businesses concerned about Facebook according to the text?
A. What people experience on Facebook.
B. That Facebook updates the lists constantly.
C That their competitors benefit more from Facebook.
D. That Facebook will give away their customer lists.
15. What can be the best title of the text?
A. Facebook is benefiting small businesses
B. Facebook, a mixed bag for small businesses
C. Facebook is protecting customers5 privacy
D. Facebook, a powerful advertisement tool
【答案】12. D 13. A 14. D 15. B
【解析】
本文是一篇议论文。Facebook是小企业广告的有效工具，但是它也存在一些弊端如泄露顾客的私人信息等等，让小企业对它爱恨交加。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段Let's say you own a small seafood restaurant, and Tuesday nights are $1 oyster(牡蛎) nights. Traditional advertising methods cost a lot and must be planned long in advance, and it's hit-or-miss as to whether you actually get in front of oyster eaters. With Facebook, on Tuesday morning, with a few clicks, you can target Facebook users in your Zip code who love oysters and eating out (and are over age 21, so they can buy drinks, which is why you have $1 oyster nights). And you can do this for as little as $ 20.可知，作者是通过举例子的方式来释Facebook的功能。故选D。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段In my work with small businesses for more than 25 years, I've never seen a more effective method of micro-targeting prospects. Though Facebook is an effective tool for small-business, advertising does not justify(证明…合理) the company's collecting vast amounts of data or allowing users' data to be invaded. 作者对于Facebook极尽赞美但是又指出它的弊端，由此可推断，作者的态度是客观公正的。故选A。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据Small-business owners are rightfully concerned about privacy. They don't want Facebook to know everything about them, and they don't want their customer list to be let out to others.可知，小企业担心Facebook会泄露客户的隐私。故选D。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。本文主要讲述小企业主对Facebook复杂的情绪，D项“Facebook, a mixed bag for small business”是本文最好的标题。故选B。

【名师点睛】
做完型填空的时候：
1.关注文章首句，领会大意。通过理解文章的首句，我们可以明确短文话题，了解篇章结构，预测全文内容。
2.通过理解段落的首句，也可明确每段的大意，根据前后语境，上下联系。有时只需从空格所在句子的上文或下文考虑；有时需要从空格所在句子的前后2-3句考虑；还有的可能要从整个段落或整篇文章给予考虑，才可选出正确选项。本题第5小题，根据下文可知这棵树对“我”起着一种激励作用，提醒我积极向上，所以对“我”而言，这棵树就是一种象征。而且下文 It was a reminder to me 也是提示。答案选A。
3.上下文提供的信息对应关系以及词语的重复使用，对解答完形填空也非常有用。

49. with 50. stronger
【解析】
这是一篇说明文。介绍了正在迅速发展的全球旅游业，但有一个例外——因为种种原因，美国在国际游客中不那么受欢迎。
【41题详解】
考查副词。句意：全球旅游业正发展迅速。本句谓语动词是is developing，要用副词修饰is developing，说明发展的速度如何，故填quickly。
【42题详解】
考查冠词。句意：美国人曾经是这个行业最大的推动者。根据形容词最高级biggest可知此处用the，故填the。
【43题详解】
考查时态。句意：去年，中国人比其他任何国家的人旅行和消费的都要多。句子时间是Last year，主语是more Chinese people，因此应该用一般过去时时态，travel的过去式是travel(l)ed，故填travel(l)ed。
【44题详解】
考查连词。句意：随着新兴市场国家的中产阶级越来越富裕，他们的旅行预算也在增长。这里表示伴随的情况，随着新兴市场国家的中产阶级越来越富裕，as在这里是连词，意为“随着”，句首要注意大写。故填As。
【45题详解】
考查现在分词作结果状语。句意：印度游客的数量也在增加，还有约旦、澳大利亚和以色列等国，让印度人更容易获得签证。主句是The number of Indian travelers is also rising印度游客的数量也在增加，因此就使得印度人更容易获得签证，这里用现在分词表示结果状语。故填making。
【46题详解】
考查名词复数。句意：尽管只有7%的中国公民持有护照。谓语是have，主语中国公民， passport，是可数名词，故护照也要用复数，故填passports。
【47题详解】
考查名词。句意：墨西哥是美国人的首选。the number one第一，后接名词单数形式，故填choice。
【48题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：与此同时，欧洲人倾向于留在欧洲，约90%的欧洲游客在欧洲过夜。名词nights与spend是逻辑上的动宾关系，且句中还有by，应该用过去分词spent，表示被动，故填spent。
【49题详解】
考查介词。句意：世界上大部分地区的旅游业都在增长，只有一个显著的例外。根据exception“例外”可知这里是指前面句子情况的例外，是一种伴随关系，故填with。
【50题详解】
考查形容词比较级。句意：对穆斯林国家人们的旅行禁令、更多的签证检查和美元走强使得美国在国际游客中不那么受欢迎。根据句中形容词比较级more可知此处应该也用形容词比较级，修饰名词 dollar，故填stronger。

Dear Xiaoming,
I am a editor of English Comer. I've received your letter ask me to give you some advice on how to learn English well. Here are some of my suggestions.
First of all, I suggest you should read English word, sentences and short articles aloud every morning. Meanwhile, you should try to memorize the useful sentences as much as possible and recite some short passages as well. Moreover, it suggested that you read a great variety of books after school. Last but not least, a certain amount of time should be spent about listening exercises.
As long as you can make good use of our spare time to learn English, surely, you will make rapid progress. Just as an old saying go, “Where there is a will, and there is a way.” If you stick to your dream and study hard, I'm sure you will become successfully in your English study.
Yours,
Li Hua
【答案】1.将a改为an
2.将ask改为asking
3.将word改为words
4.将 much 改为 many
5.在suggested前加上is
6.将about改为on
7.将our改为your
8.将go改为goes
9.将and去掉
10.将successfully改为successful
【解析】
【分析】
这是一封建议信。英语角的编辑李华回复小明关于怎么学好英语的一些建议。
【详解】1.考查冠词。句中editor是元音开头的单词，要用an来限定，故将a改为an。
2. 考查非谓语动词。句中ask作letter的后置定语，且ask与letter之间构成主谓关系，要用现在分词形式，故将ask改为asking。
3．考查名词。句意表达的是泛指，要用可数名词的复数形式，故将word改为words。
4．考查形容词。句中修饰的是可数名词复数sentences，要用many来修饰，故将much改为many。
5．考查语态。句中suggest与主语it之间构成动宾关系，要用被动语态，时态是一般现在时，故在suggested前加is。
6．考查介词。分析句子结构可知，句子主语是time，谓语是should be spent，宾语是listening exercises，这里是花费时间在听力练习上面，应该用介词on，故将about改为on。
7．考查代词。根据后面常用短语spare time“空余时间”，这里是指你的空余时间，故要把形容词性物主代词our改为your。故将our改为your。
8．考查主谓一致。句中的主语an old saying是单数，谓语动词要用第三人称单数形式。故将go改为goes。
9．考查连词。句中where引导地点状语从句，主句不能再用连词。故将and去掉。
10．考查副词。在句中become是系动词，后接形容词做表语，successfully是副词，故将successfully改为successful。
【点睛】这是一封书信，讲述了如何学好英语的问题：首先，要多读多背；其次要多扩大阅读量；还有多听。只要善于利用空余时间，一定可以学好，因为有志者事竟成。
短文改错题考查的是语境理解能力和用法基础知识。常考的知识点有：名词（单复数错误），动词（时态，语态，搭配，转换），代词（指代错误），形容词和副词（转换，比较等级），连词（and，but，or）等。偶尔也会考查代词词类错误，如第7题本来用your，却用了our等等。解题是要注意：以句子为单位，以动词为中心；看句子要看完整，避免句子前后矛盾的错误；找错误要以动词为主，动词或与动词有关的错误占了改错的题的重要一部分。
