【4】his 改成her 句意:玛丽鼓励她去求助她的医生。可知把his 改成her。

【知识归纳】
在寻找短文改错中的错误时,我们可以使用“四查法”来寻找错误:
1. 左顾右盼查名词。考生应注意搜寻名词之前及其本身出现的错误,还要看该名词前面是否缺限定词、该用何种限定词,尤其要查名词前冠词的使用情况。当名词前面有形容词修饰时更要加倍注意。
例如: Your knowledges of Greece can help the whole class. (把knowledges改为knowledge)
本文【5】advices 改成advice 因为advice是不可数名词,所以把advices 改成advice
2. “语(态)”、“时(态)”俱进查动词。考生应认真分析动词时态、语态的使用是否正确,尤其要根据上下文所提供的时间信息,仔细推敲,从而选用正确的动词时态形式。
【6】eats 改成ate 上下文联系可知此处是一般过去时态,故把eats 改成ate。
3. 启承转合查连词。若要使文章结构严谨,应在文中使用各种启承转合的连词。这些连词能使文章在结构上和意义上通顺流畅。例如:
It started to rise higher again. So it was still too close to the water. (把So改为But)
4. 文通理顺查逻辑。“文通”指行文合乎英文词法、句法;“理顺”指行文逻辑符合人们普遍认可的道理。例如: (NMET 2006) The air keeping the balloon up was escaping quickly and the balloon was coming up. (把第二个up改为down)
