Answer 1

分析 短文講述了近些年科學(xué)取得了巨大進(jìn)步，但仍有些人生活在貧困之中，他們通過收售廢品為生，甚至沒錢送孩子去上學(xué)，造成這個(gè)現(xiàn)象的原因就是人口的劇增，一位發(fā)展中國家的總統(tǒng)說過："我們自己要為貧窮負(fù)責(zé)，因?yàn)檫^去我們好哇節(jié)制地生了一大群孩子"，簡短的一句話清楚地指出了人口劇增導(dǎo)致的后果．

their livesby collecting and selling used things．Their children cannot go to school while they have not enough money to send
      living                                                                                                         because
their children there．Why∧you think so many people still suffer from poverty now？The answer lies on the population explosion．

A president of a developing country once said；"It is us who are to blame for the poverty because we used to"produce"child without

1．去掉great前面的a；考查名詞，progress是不可數(shù)名詞，前面不能加a．
2．live改為living；考查分詞，這里living現(xiàn)在分詞短語作后置定語，修飾people．
3．lives改為living；考查名詞，make one's living 是固定搭配，意為"謀生"．
4．while改為because；考查連詞，while意為"然而，當(dāng)…時(shí)候"，because表示原因，根據(jù)句意，這里應(yīng)該用because．
5．why后面加do；考查助動詞，在這個(gè)句子中助動詞do幫助構(gòu)成特殊疑問句．
6．on改為in；考查介詞，lie in 是固定用法，意為"存在于，取決于"．
7．us改為we；考查代詞，這是一個(gè)強(qiáng)調(diào)句，在這個(gè)句子中we作主語，即we are to blame…所以用主格形式．
8．child改為children；考查名詞復(fù)數(shù)，根據(jù)句意人們無限制地生了許多孩子，所以要用復(fù)數(shù)形式．
9．this改為these；考查指示代詞，這里后面用了名詞復(fù)數(shù)words，所以要用these．
10．clear改為clearly；考查副詞，這里用副詞clearly修飾動詞短語point out．

點(diǎn)評 短文改錯(cuò)時(shí)要整體理解短文的中心思想，弄清短文的基本時(shí)態(tài)，再具體分析句子中的基本語言點(diǎn)，找出錯(cuò)誤加以修改．
