Answer 1

分析 本文主要讲述西方父母们还在怀孩子的时候就开始考虑给孩子取名的事情了．一些父母要取一个特有的名字，比如，一个音乐家命名他的孩子Audio Science，另一对夫妇命名他们的孩子Pirate．一些公司给孩子命名收取几百美元，一家瑞士公司甚至收费高达三万美元想出一个从来没有使用过的名字．

解答 When Western parents are expected a baby，they start to think long and hardly about what they will name their child．The child will have to live with a name for their whole life after all．

详解：
1．expected改为expecting 考查动词语态．parents与expect之间是主谓关系，用现在进行时的主动语态．
2．hardly改为hard 考查副词．hardly意为"几乎不"，hard意为"努力地"，此处应是：努力地．
3．a改为the/that 考查冠词或限定词．name后有介词短语for their whole life after all修饰，用定冠词the表示特指或用that进行限定．
4．focus改为focused 考查过去分词．be/seem focused on意为"集中于"，是固定搭配．
5．去掉it 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name在从句中作like的宾语，已有关系代词that作其宾语，it是多余的，要去掉．
6．Also改为However 考查副词．however表示转折，尤其用于谈及一个既成事实时，表示转折，其意为"可是""仍然"等．可放在句首、句中或句末，通常用逗号与句子其他成分隔开．
7．other改为another 考查形容词．"（人，事物）又一个的，再一个的"用another表示．
8．pay改为paying 考查固定搭配．as far as表示进展"达到某一点为止"，后接动名词形式．
9．and改为but 考查连词．前后两个分句之间是转折关系而非并列关系，用连词but．
10．加to 考查动词不定式．此处动词不定式表示目的，作目的状语．

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．
