分析 我们知道水对人类是非常重要的，没有水我们就不能生存．适合饮用的水越来越少，但有些人不关心它．许多河流和湖泊受到严重污染．因此，我们必须采取某些措施来阻止污染．

解答 As we know，water is very important to the man．We can't live with water．The amount of water which is suitable to drink are less and less．So some people don't care about it．They waste a lot of waters in their daily life．Even better，they pour dirty water into rivers．They throw rubbish into rivers，either．Many rivers and lakes are seriously polluting．Something must be done∧stop the pollution．Only in this way can we live happily．If they don't save water，the last drop of water will be a tear-drop of ours．
详解：
1．去掉the 考查冠词．man用作不可数名词时，可表示"人类"，可与manmankind换用，其前常不加冠词，作为单数名词跟单数动词连用．
2．with改为without 考查介词．根据句意：没有水我们不能生存．用介词without．
3．are改为is 考查主谓一致．主语The amount是单数形式，谓语动词也应用单数形式is．
4．So改为But 考查连词．前后两个分句之间是转折关系而非因果关系，用连词but．
5．waters改为water 考查名词．water作"水"讲时，是不可数名词，没有复数形式．
6．better改为worse 考查形容词比较级．根据句意：更糟糕的是．用形容词比较级worse．
7．either改为too 考查词语用法．either和too都意为"也"，either用于否定句，too用于肯定句，本句是肯定句，用too．
8．polluting改为polluted 考查动词语态．主语Many rivers and lakes和谓语动词pollute是动宾关系，要用一般现在时的被动语态．
9．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．
10．they改为we 考查代词．此处的we与前一句中Only in this way can we live happily的we应一致，表示泛指．

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．
