解答 Ten years ago，I had worked as a night guard in a factory．On a rainy night，all the lights of∧factory went out all of a sudden．I rushed out and could see nothing．Lucky for me，the warning system was directly connected with the police station．Three or four minutes late，four police car arrived at the front gate．They searchedfor the factory carefully，tried to find something unusual．In the end，I am told that the rain had brought about   the short circuit，that caused the accident．
详解：
1．去掉had 考查动词时态．本文讲述的是过去的事实，要用一般过去时态．
2．加the 考查冠词．句中factory是第二次提到，要用定冠词the．
3．and改为but 考查连词．句意表达的是转折，不是承接．
4．Lucky改为Luckily 考查副词．用副词做状语，修饰整个句子．
5．late改为later 考查副词．late表示迟到的意思；later放在一段时间的后面．
6．car改为cars 考查名词．car是可数名词，其前有数词four修饰时，要用名词复数形式．
7．去掉for 考查动词．search后接宾语，表示搜查的范围或对象，search the place搜查某地；search for表示搜查的目的． 
8．tried改为trying 考查现在分词．主语they与try构成主谓关系，要用现在分词作伴随状语． 
9．am改为was 考查动词时态．本文讲述的是过去的事实，要用一般过去时态．
10．that改为which 考查定语从句．分析句子结构可知这是一个非限制性定语从句，从句缺少主语，且先行词circuit指物，要用which来引导．

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．
