详解：
1．pay改为paying 考查动名词．after是介词，后接动词时用动名词形式．
2．where改为which 考查定语从句．分析句子结构可知这是一个定语从句，先行词Space Museum在从句中作主语，用关系代词which．
3．a改为an 考查冠词．area读音以发元音开头，用不定冠词an．
4．加up 考查固定搭配．be made up of意为"由…组成"，是固定搭配．
5．spaceship改为spaceships 考查名词复数．spaceship是可数名词，此处表示不止一个，要用复数形式．
6．variously改为various 考查形容词．instruments是名词，要用形容词修饰．
7．see改为saw 考查动词时态．全文讲述的是过去的事情，要用一般过去时态．
8．去掉on 考查词语用法．operate作"操作"讲时，是及物动词，后接名词时不需要介词，on是多余的，要去掉．
9．myself改为me 考查代词．根据句意：这次简短的参观帮助我更多地了解了人类探索太空的历史．用代词me．
10．interesting改为interested 考查过去分词．be interested in意为"对…感兴趣"，是固定搭配，此处interested in science and technology作宾语补足语．
点评 高考短文改错题的形式有说明文，短文故事，书信等，具有很强的实用性．短文的内容和语言都符合高中学生的实际，从表面上看类似一篇学生习作．首先，通读全文，了解短文大意，把握全篇的时态、人称及行文逻辑，在通读全文时把一些容易的错误先改好，再进行逐句改错．其次，要进行逐个句子的改错．这是要对文中的词法、句法和语篇着重分析和特别注意．最后把改好的短文再阅读一遍，检查答案是否正确，感觉是否还有不妥之处，最终形成定稿．
