三、短文改錯

【思路點撥】短文改錯中的錯誤都是學生們經常犯的，修改時應考慮語法和詞法知識，如動詞、名詞、形容詞等形式的變化。

答案與解析：

第一行：has done之間加been，此處表被動； 第二行：opinion改為opinions，不同的觀點是復數；

第二行：thought改為think，根據上下文知，此處應當用一般現在時； 第二行：specially改為special，形容詞作定語；

第三行：many改為much，修飾不可數名詞，用much不能用many；

第四行：that改為whether或if，句意是“利用這次機會去檢測同學們是否足夠聰明；” 第五行：去掉that；此處不是從句，沒必要加that；

第六行：how改為what，do為及物動詞，故應當用關系代詞； 第六行：but改為so，上下句是因果關系； 第七行：don’t 后加be，be的祈使句的否定形式。

3. phenomenon 7. widespread

4. random 8. quantity
