【解析】 解答短文改錯題從整體上要看文章的時態和觀點以及句與句之間的邏輯關系,從細節上要看詞語的固定搭配、詞性、先行詞、連接詞和非謂語動詞等。下面我們來分析一下這篇短文的十處錯誤:
1. 時態。根據句意和at one time的提示,本句應是過去時態,故are改為were。
2. 形容詞。later意為“后來,以后”;late意為“末期;晚年”,此句中修飾年代應用late。
3. 固定搭配。effect on意為“對……的影響”。
4. 主謂一致。60 of them的謂語動詞要用復數形式。
5. 連詞。as意為“當”,而as if意為“好像”。根據句意這里應該用as。
6. 介詞。此處應用介詞near。
7. 代詞。此處是指前面的Pertame,且前面的it也是提示。
8. 狀語。keep Pertame alive做目的狀語,前面要加to。
9. 名詞。one of 后面的名詞要用復數形式。
10. 非謂語動詞。此處consider與places是被動關系,故應用considered。

【解析】 本題的答題要點在于考生可以把所提供的要點合理組合,用正確的詞語和句式進行表達。首先考生應該仔細觀察圖片,理清所給信息:
地點:Photography Studio A
必須做到的事情:照看好設備;不能帶食物進去
可以做的事情:穿便服;喝咖啡(但是要付咖啡錢);帶參觀者
絕對不可以做的事情:打電話
如果考生只是簡單進行要點羅列并不能得到高分,而一定要將要點組合排列使之更有層次性,并適當增添細節使文章內容更為豐富。如所給范文中就添加了為什么這樣做和為什么不可以這樣做的原因,另外范文還將可以做的事情的順序提前置于必須做的事情之后,使文章的行文更為流暢合理。
(B) Today, social networks have changed our lives a lot. We're used to visiting Weibo, Wechat or other online social networks. What do you think of this trend? Write an essay in no fewer than 110 words to express your opinion.
(B) One possible version:
For many of us, visiting Weibo, Wechat, or other online social networks has become a regular part of our daily activities. However, we may not have noticed the significant ways that social networks have changed our lives.
First of all, they have changed the way we get our news. These days, we often only read the news or stories that our friends post online. Second, our relationships have changed. Now, it's easier to keep in touch with new friends and find old friends that we haven't seen for a long time. Third, many of us share thoughts with our online friends such as how we feel about failing exams.
Are these changes good or bad? That's for each person to decide. But one thing is certain—as more people join social networks and as new networks continue to appear, we can expect more changes in the future.
