分析 文章大意：本文叙述了五年前，在父亲的帮助下，作者和姐姐在后花园里种植了一些圣女果，这些年以来，它的种子我们没有管过，在院子里随处疯长，结果院子里到处都是圣女果，于是我们就把它们分给邻居吃．感觉心里很高兴．

tomatoes at no cost!

1：before-ago   考查副词．"从现在起的若干时间以前"；时间段+ago与一般过去时连用．before泛指"从过去起的若干时间以前"，意思是"距过去某时…以前""与其…（毋宁）"，常和完成时连用，这里谓语动词planted用的是过去式，故用ago．
2：by-of   考查介词搭配． 在…的帮助下用固定搭配with the help of．所以把by改成of．
3：year-years 考查名词单复数．根据句意和前面的all these 可知，用可数名词year的复数形式years．all these years 的意思是这么多年．
4：had-has 考查时态，根据时间状语Since then可知，本句用现在完成进行时．所以把 had 变成have．
5：As∧result-a，考查冠词．as a result 是固定搭配．所以在As和 result之间加a．
6：somewhere-everywhere  考查副词．因为哪里落了种子就在哪里长，所以这种植物长得到处是．所以把somewhere（某地）改成everywhere（到处）．
7：taste-tasty  考查形容词．这种果子个头小，但是汁多、味道好．这里放在are后面，应该用形容词．所以把taste改成tasty．
8：much-many  考查代词．根据后面的them可知，这里用many表示可数名词的许多，而much修饰不可数名词．所以把much 改成many．
9：but-yet 或去掉but  考查连词．英语中although是连词，but是并列连词．所以不能同时用．所以把but改成yet或去掉but．
10：wonderfully-wonderful 考查形容词．tomatoes 是名词，应该用形容词来修饰．副词常常修饰动词．所以把wonderfully改为wonderful．

点评 改错题要注意代词，连词以及词性、人称的转化．
做好短文改错题，可以从以下三方面去考虑：1．快速阅读短文，如抓住中心思想，从整体上对短文有个了解． 2．充分运用语言的基础知识，从句型结构、词的变化、词类选择、词的搭配、习惯用法出发，进行分析判断，尽快找出错误在何处． 3．重视整体和语境，从上下文关系中找出表达连接关系或逻辑关系的词或词组，判断是递进关系还是转折关系，是因果关系还是让步关系．
