专八改错八大高频考点全攻略（还在为专八改错题发愁的亲们，福音来了！只要认真研读本文并加以练习，基本能拿到7分及以上的分数）
来源： 甄成的日志
改错好像一直都是我们专八复习中的难点，有些错误根本就看不出来啊有姆有啊，好不容易看出来了一个还不是要改的那个错误啊有姆有，即便看出来也未必能改对有姆有啊，有的时候甚至连一半的分都拿不到啊有姆有~
但是看完这篇攻略后，相信你不会再迷茫~~
改错是一道基础性题目，考查的是基础语言能力，因为专八没有单项选择题（语法、词汇），所以对基础能力的考查都放在改错这一道题目上。改错主要考查：1.语法是否扎实；2.词汇掌握是否丰富，词汇的搭配与用法；3.对篇章结构（句子间逻辑关系）是否敏感
以下八大高频考点的分类出自《华研·专八人文知识与改错》，现将八大类错误整理如下，主要包括：1.短语搭配错误；2.易混词错误；3.逻辑关系错误；4.代词错误（一致错误）；5.冠词错误；6.形容词和副词使用错误；7.成分残缺或冗余；8.动词时态或语态错误。 笔者认为这八类错误基本涵盖了改错考试中出现的错误，首先了解错误类型，对应对改错具有重要意义。 另外，笔者在总结《华研·专八人文知识与改错》和《星火·专八改错满分突破60篇》两本练习册中近100篇改错题的基础上，搜集其中出现的所有典型错误例子（语法词汇类错误居多），并根据所属错误类型整理如下。
（注意：带—>的表示前边的是错误的，后边的是改正之后的；其他的没有正确错误之分）

以上近300个典型例子基本涵盖了所有容易出现的错误，我认为一开始就去记这些例子的效果并不理想，最适宜的方法是先做一定数量的改错练习，然后再看上边的总结以及例子，过后再去做题，就能够掌握改错的一些规律，识别出更多的错误并能将其改正，形成自己的做题方法。另外，要将语法词汇错误和语篇错误区别开来，语法词汇掌握较好，并不代表改错能做好，还要在文章理解上下功夫（有的改错文章其实比较难），应先通读全文，然后再一行一行地去识别错误所在，这样一些很隐蔽的语篇错误就能显现出来。不要一上来就开始找错误，边找错边读文章，这样的结果往往是，一些词汇错误都能找到，但做完后不知所云，好多语篇错误也没有看出来。
