详解：
1．去掉the 考查冠词．此处不是特指，不必用定冠词the．
2．men改为man 考查名词．根据前面的不定冠词a，可知只有一个男人，要用单数形式．
3．will改为would 考查动词时态．这是一个宾语从句，从句的时态必须与主句保持一致，因主句用了一般过去时，从句要用过去将来时．
4．her改为his 考查代词．his指代上文中提到的the young man．
5．shining改为shone 考查动词时态．分析句子结构，句中缺少谓语动词，而不是非谓语形式，用动词的过去式．
6．and改为but 考查连词．根据句子前后的意思可知是转折关系，而非并列关系，用连词but．
7．加to 考查动词不定式．refuse to do sth．意为"拒绝做某事"，是固定搭配．
8．such改为so 考查固定搭配．so…that…意为"如此/这么…以致于…"，句型中的so是副词，常常用来修饰形容词或副词，常用句型为：主语+谓语+so+adj．/adv．+that从句．
9．could改为couldn't 考查句子意思．根据句意：他不能继续行走．此处表达的意思是否定的．
10．Final改为Finally 考查副词．修饰句子要用副词．
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．
