1．a去掉．
2．offered→been offered。
3．exam→exams．
4．第一个was→were。
5．strong-strongly。
6．too→so。
7．of去掉。
8．1ive→living。
9．√
10．fact∧→that。
解析:
1. 应对文章整体阅读,以篇章或以句子为单位,进行推敲找错,切不可孤立地仅着眼于某一行。
2.注意句首和句末，这是考生容易忽略的地方，而错误有可能就在这个“隐蔽的角落”
3．做完短文改错题后，务必要把已改好的短文复读一遍，检查核对。一般说来，一篇改错应该有9处错误，如果考生实在找不出错，可以用“排查法”即，将改错常考察的要素（如，人称，时态，单复数，行文逻辑等）一一排查，确保高分。
1．a去掉．news作“消息”讲时是不可数名词，前面不用冠词a．“一条消息”是a piece of news。
2．offered→been offered。本句的谓语动词要用被动形式。现在完成时的被动形式为“have+been+过去分词”。
3．exam→exams．exams是可数名词，这里要用其复数形式。
4．第一个was→were。这里a few后省略了复数名词students，谓语动词要用复数形式。
5．strong-strongly。strong是形容词，不能修饰动词。这里要用副词，strongly修饰句子的谓语are against。
6．too→so。so…that是一个固定句型，意思是“如此 ……以致于……”。
7．of去掉。be afraid of后要接名词或代词，不能接从句。be afraid后接从句．
8．1ive→living。imagine表示“想像，设想”，后面要接动名词作宾语。又如：Can you imagine him cooking
the dinner?(你能想像他做饭的情形吗?)
9．√
10．fact∧→that。本句中l have grown up是名词fact的同位语从句，要用that引导，that不能省略。
