中考英语短文改错考点·易混词错误

1. 混淆词性的错误

词性错误主要表现在形容词、名词、副词的误用上。考生做这类改错题，要根据词在句中所处的位置来确定其词性是否正确。一般说来，形容词修饰名词，副词修饰动词，副词修饰形容词。如

(1) The animals are

use to the desert people in many ways. (重庆市中考题)

【说明】use改为useful，useful是形容词，作表语。

(2) The desert people are

friend. (重庆市中考题)

【说明】friend改为friendly，friendly是形容词，作表语。

2. 混淆词义的错误

英语中有很多词在拼写上、语义上很相似，但是它们的用法却迥然不同。如

(1) They must always

watch for grass or desert plants for their animals. (重庆市中考题)

【说明】watch 改为look。两个动词都表示“看”的意思，但前者表示“很注意地”看，后者与介词for 连用有“寻找”之意。

(2) We visited him at his workplace among the young trees and

told him about his work. (安徽省中考题)

【说明】told改为asked。根据上下文，用asked“询问”更合适。

(3) The wind was blowing so

hardly. (娄底市中考题)

【说明】hardly改为hard，这两个词词形很接近，但它们表达的是不同的意思，hardly是否定副词，有“几乎不”的意思，而hard则表示“猛烈地”之意。

(4) We know that the first part of the 20th century saw more

large inventions: the helicopter in 1909, movies with sound in 1926, the computer in 1928 and the jet plane in 1930. (广元市中考题)

【说明】large改为great。large表示 “(体积) 大”，而great则有“伟大的”的意思。

3. 混淆用法的错误

还有一些在意义，概念上容易混淆、用错的词，如：such 与so, ago与before, as与like, many 与much等。如

(1) Too

much trees have been cut these years, making the sandstorm problem worse. (苏州市中考题)

【说明】much改为many，前者常用来修饰可数名词。
