解答 The Pompeii city was found in the 8th century BC．It then became a wealth and busy city．On 24th August AD 79，a volcano erupt and the whole city was buried alive．It was forgotten for many years until the 18th century when∧farmer discovered a stone with writing on it．People started to dig in the area for treasure，that caused much damage．Thus，the area was put under government protection．When I walked around the city，I saw streets just like they had been，with stepping stones along the road so you needn't to step in the mud in rainy days!I saw several houses which was decorated with wall paintings．I also saw the people who had been buried alive．It turned out that their bodies nearly completely broke down and disappeared，left empty spaces in the ash．
1．found改为founded
2．wealth改为wealthy 考查形容词．and是并列连词，它前后连接两个相同的语法成分，wealthy和busy都是形容词作定语．
3．erupt改为erupted 考查动词 时态．根据句中时间状语On 24th August AD 79，用一般过去时．
4．加a 考查冠词．farmer是可数名词，单数形式前加a表示泛指．
5．that改为which 考查定语从句．分析句子结构可知，这是一个定语从句，先行词是前面整个句子，在从句中作主语，用关系代词which．
6．like改为as 考查连词．前后是两个句子，要用连词连接，like是介词，as是连词．
7．去掉to 考查词语用法．needn't后接动词原形，to是多余的，要去掉．
8．in改为on 考查介词．rainy days表示一些特定的日子里，用介词on．
9．was 考查主谓一致．在定语从句中谓语动词与先行词houses一致，用复数形式．
10．left改为leaving 考查现在分词．现在分词作结果状语，表示自然的结果．
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．
