In early January this year，the rate of UFO reports were steady，around three per weeks．When，however，on Monday，January 16，a science fiction film about visitors to outer space was shown on television，there was the immediate increase in reports of sightings from all parts of the States．The commanding officer，Wayne Tyler，who directly responsible for the study of all such reports，decided to making his findings known．They wrote an article，which said that all UFO reports could be explained for quite naturally by aircraft movements．Follow this explanation，there was a rapid drop in the number of reported sightings，because the rate remained above the previous level．
分析 本文主要讲述今年1月早些时候，UFO报告的比例是稳定的，每周大约有3次．现在各个州称目击UFO的报告有急速的增加．Wayne Tyler写了一篇文章，说所有的不明飞行物报告都可以很自然地通过飞机运动这个原因得到解释．
解答 In early January this year，the rate of UFO reports were steady，around three per weeks．When，however，on Monday，January 16，a science fiction film about visitors to outer space was shown on television，there was the immediate increase in reports of sightings from all parts of the States．The commanding officer，Wayne Tyler，who∧directly responsible for the study of all such reports，decided to making his findings known．They wrote an article，which said that all UFO reports could be explained for quite naturally by aircraft movements．Follow this explanation，there was a rapid drop in the number of reported sightings，because the rate remained above the previous level．
详解：
1．were改为was 考查主谓一致．主语the rate为单数概念，谓语动词应用单数was．
2．weeks改为week 考查名词．介词per意为"每，每一"，后接单数名词．
3． to改为from 考查介词．短文围绕发现UFO的报道展开，主题是来自外太空而非去外太空，所以介词用from．
4． the改为an 考查冠词．increase是可数名词，单数形式前加不定冠词a表示泛指，因immediate读音以发元音开头，用不定冠词an．
5． directly前加was/is 考查句子结构．非限制性定语从句中缺少谓语动词，be responsible for表示"对…负责"，用is表示现在负责；用was表示过去负责．
6． making改为make 考查动词不定式．动词decide需接动词不定式作宾语．
7． They改为He 考查人称代词．前文只提到Wayne Tyler想将自己的发现公之于众，此处指"他"写了一篇文章而非"他们"．
8． 去掉for 考查词语用法．quite naturally作状语修饰谓语动词，介词for是多余的，要去掉．
9． Follow改为Following 考查介词．follow为动词原形，应改为following，表示"由于"，相当于as a result of．
10． because改为although/though/but/yet 考查连词．前面的"a rapid drop"与后面的"the rate remained above the previous level"构成转折关系，应将because引导的原因状语从句改为although/though引导的让步状语从句或者but/yet连接的表转折的并列句．
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．
