    In general，there are less job opportunities in small towns than in big cities．However，a great number of college graduates from small towns are eager to leave for big cities．They think there are more opportunities for them to find better job and make more money．But to my opinion，young people should stay in their hometown instead of go to big cities．For one thing，they can spend on more time with their family．For another，they can make contribution to the development of their hometown and try to start our own business．With their efforts，small towns cannot achieve fully development．

Answer 1

分析 本文主要讲述大城市工作机会比小城镇多，因此，许多来自小城镇的大学生去大城市希望找到更好的工作和挣更多的钱．但在作者看来，年轻人应当在他们的家乡工作，一则可以有更多的时间和家人在一起；二则也可以为他们的家乡作出贡献．

解答 In general，there are less job opportunities in small towns than in big cities．However，a great number of college graduates from small towns are eager to leave for big cities．They think there are more opportunities for them to find∧better job and make more money．But to my opinion，young people should stay in their hometown instead of go to big cities．For one thing，they can spend on more time with their family．For another，they can make∧contribution to the development of their hometown and try to start our own business．With their efforts，small towns cannot achieve fully development．
详解：
1．However改为Therefore 考查副词．前后两个分句之间是因果关系，而非转折关系，用副词therefore．
2．加a 考查冠词．job是可数名词，单数形式前加不定冠词a表示泛指．
3．to改为in 考查介词．in one's opinion意为"在…看来"，是固定搭配．
4．go改为going 考查动名词．instead of是介词短语，后接动词时用动名词形式．
5．去掉on 考查词语用法．spend是及物动词，后直接接名词和代词作宾语，不需要介词．
6．family改为families 考查名词复数．family是可数名词，根据主语they要用复数形式．
7．加a 考查冠词．make a contribution to意为"有助于（对…作出贡献）"，是固定搭配．
8．our改为their 考查代词．their指代they，也就是前文提到的young people．
9．cannot改为can 根据情态动词．根据句意：小镇能得到充分的发展．用can的肯定形式而非否定形式．
10．fully改为full 考查形容词．development是名词，要用形容词修饰．

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．
