Nearly five years before，and with the help by our father，my sister and I planted some cherry tomatoes（圣女果）in our back garden．Since then-for all these year-we had been allowing tomatoes to self-seed where they please．As result，the plants are growing somewhere．The fruits are small in size，but juicy and taste．There are so much that we often share them with our neighbors．Although we allow tomato plants to grow in the same place year after year，but we have never had any disease or insect attack problems．We are growing wonderfully tomatoes at no cost!
分析 本文主要讲述了五年前，在父亲的帮助下，作者和姐姐在后花园里种植了一些圣女果，这些年以来，它的种子我们没有管过，在院子里随处疯长，结果院子里到处都是圣女果，于是我们就把它们分给邻居吃．感觉心里很高兴．
解答 Nearly five years before，and with the help by our father，my sister and I planted some cherry tomatoes（圣女果）in our back garden．Since then-for all these year-we had been allowing tomatoes to self-seed where they please．As∧result，the plants are growing somewhere．The fruits are small in size，but juicy and taste．There are so much that we often share them with our neighbors．Although we allow tomato plants to grow in the same place year after year，but we have never had any disease or insect attack problems．We are growing wonderfully tomatoes at no cost!
详解：
1．before改为ago 考查副词．此处讲述的是过去发生的事情，和一般过去时连用的应是ago，before常和完成时连用．
2．by改为of 考查介词．with the help of…意为"在…的帮助下"，是固定短语．
3．year改为years 考查名词复数．year是可数名词，前面有these修饰时，要用复数形式的名词．
4．had改为have 考查动词时态．根据时间状语since then 通常和现在完成时连用，此处是现在完成进行时，而不是过去完成进行时．
5．加a 考查冠词．as a result意为"结果"，是固定短语．
6．somewhere改为everywhere 考查副词．因为哪里落了种子就在哪里长，所以这种植物长得到处是．所以把somewhere（某地）改成everywhere（到处）．
7．taste改为tasty 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，juicy和tasty都是形容词作表语．
8．much改为many 考查代词．根据前面的be动词are和后面的them可知应是代替可数名词复数的many，而much代替不可数名词．
9．去掉but或but改为yet 考查连词或副词．引导让步状语从句的although不能和连词but连用，但是可以和副词yet连用．所以去掉but，也可以把but改为副词yet．
10．wonderfully改为wonderful 考查形容词．tomatoes是名词，修饰名词时应用形容词．
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．
