短文改错似捉妖 齐天大圣有奇招

高考短文改错题旨在检测考生在语篇中发现、判断、纠正错误的能力。该大题成了不少考生的“软肋”。各类错误像“妖魔”,不易辨别,但笔者总结了一套“孙悟空捉妖”式的改错方法。
作为孙悟空,首先要心里明白什么是“妖”,你才能火眼金睛,快速辨别。一篇改错,通常是“1增1删8修改”共10个,组团来袭的“妖魔鬼怪”,其本来面目无外乎三种:词法、句法、行文逻辑等。且各路“妖孽”自有名头,譬如:动词形式错误(如时态前后不一致、并列不一致、時态与时间状语的不一致、主谓不一致、非谓语动词的形式错误),名词的单复数,形容词或副词的句法功能错误,冠词和介词的多用、少用或误用,代词和连词的多用、少用和误用,以及不定式符号to的多用或少用,比较等级,行文逻辑,语义重复等。
其次,身处妖境时,悟空要口中念念有词:“动词形式名词数,句法功能形和副,to和冠介需关注,代词连词细领悟,行文逻辑意重复。”口诀威力如咒语,令魑魅魍魉闻风丧胆,魂飞魄散。
再次,欲镇妖降魔,悟空不能赤手空拳,还须持有三件法器:照妖镜、金箍棒和探照灯。通过眼观六路,明察秋毫,那些明显的一眼假的小妖即可浮出水面、现出原形,将其悉数剿尽(__);如遇真容难辨、迷惑性强的假悟空、假行者、假大圣,以棒(\)喝之!而对个别隐身藏匿玩失踪(卧底或潜伏)者,探照灯(∧)伺候,或掘地三尺,或引妖出洞,使其无处遁形!
最后,让我们以2019年全国卷中的短文改错为例,跟着悟空去捉妖,感受此法的奇妙之处。
全国Ⅰ卷
I became interesting① in playing football thanks to a small accident. One afternoon where② I was in primary school, I was walking by the school playground. Suddenly ∧③football fell just in front of me but④ almost hit me. I stopped the ball and kicked it hardly⑤ back to the playground. To everyones surprising⑥, the ball went into the net. All the football player⑦ on the playground cheered loudly, say⑧that I had a talent for football. From now⑨on, I started to play my⑩football with classmates after school. I am a good player now.
悟空按落云头,逐句研读,只见:
①“情感动词”在作祟。由其变来的形容词指人,作表语时,用-ed式。
②李代桃僵。此处用关系副词when引导定语从句,在从句中作时间状语,相当于in the afternoon。
③单数可数名词football活像一个秃子, 孑然而立,莫非其帽冠a被妖风刮走了?
④连接混乱。天外来球“飞落于我眼前”与“差点砸中我”之间为顺承关系,何来转折?
⑤驴唇不对马嘴。hardly与hard, 两者词意、用法截然不同,相去甚远。
⑥固定搭配。To ones + 抽象名词。
⑦孤军作战。绿茵场角逐喝彩,非一己之力所能及,更何况有All修饰!
⑧动词形式。表示主动关系的saying为cheered的伴随状语。
⑨行文逻辑。此一时非彼一时。
⑩画蛇添足。动词play后的冠词或物主代词,恰似一套西服,“打”球“玩”游戏,不穿西装,亦不用冠词或物主代词。而“演奏”乐器时,则西装革履,穿之用之。扰乱纲常,吃我一棒!
全国卷Ⅱ卷
Since I was a kid, Ive considered different job①I would like to do. First, I wanted to be a fireman, whose uniform looked so coolly②. Then, when I was in the five③ grade, I wanted to be a teacher because I liked my English teacher too④ much. When I studied chemistry ∧⑤high school, I reconsidered my goal or⑥ decided to be a doctor. They⑦ were two reasons for the decision. One was that I was amazing⑧ at the fact that a sick person could feel much more⑨ better after seeing a doctor. And the other is⑩ that I wanted to help people in need.
经孙行者实地观察,发现:
①消极怠“工”。既然是different的“工种”,后面的名词须用复数;
②固定句式。“主系表”结构,副词怎能做表语?
③张冠李戴。此处用序数词fifth表示顺序。
④言过其实。“喜欢老师”,用so/very即可。
⑤介词缺失。玩灯下黑,致使“学习地点”无法锁定。
⑥连接别扭。前后两项为并列而非选择关系。
⑦固定句式。“There be”句型。
⑧摇身一变。与卷I①同出一辙。
⑨重复比较。皆因much与more争宠邀功所致。
⑩动词时态。应与上文的was呼应,才前后一致。
全國Ⅲ卷
Ive had many dreams since I was a child. Now my dream is to opens① a cafe. Though it may appear simple, it required② a lot of ideas and efforts. What I want is not just an ordinarily③ cafe but a very special one. I want my cafe ∧④have a special theme such as like⑤“Tang Dynasty”. In the cafe, customers will enjoy yourselves⑥ in the historical environment what⑦ is created for them. If I succeed in manage⑧ one, I will open more. I wish to have a chain of cafes in many different city⑨. Each of my cafes will have a different theme and an⑩unique style.
却说大圣来到一处阴森恐怖的无名地,不禁警觉起来,但见:
①畸形怪兽。不定式短语to open a cafe在句中作表语。
②时态有误。应与前文的时间状语Now相吻合。
③越俎代庖。对形容词和副词的句法作用含混不清,做定语要用形容词。
④固定搭配。“want sth/sb to do”固定搭配,不定式作宾补。
⑤词义重叠。such as 和like均可表示“比如,像”“诸如”之意,此谓“障眼法”。
⑥指代错误。泛指“顾客们开心”,用第三人称复数反身代词themselves。
⑦李代桃僵。此处关系代词which/that在定语从句中作主语,指代environment。
⑧动词形式。 succeed (in) 后接 -ing式,介词宾语。
⑨冤家路窄。与卷Ⅱ①类似,(many) different后名词用复数形式;
⑩低级错误。不定冠词an只用于读音以元音音素打头的名词或形容词前, 辅音音素前宜用a。好大圣,痛捉众妖,即驾云远去……
综观全局,高考短文改错并非奥妙无穷、深不可测的“黑洞”。只要我们勤于思考,改错得法,练就一身火眼金睛的真功夫,巧用此招,就会屡试不爽。
