Cars are everywhere. In big city and small towns, the preferred method of transportation is the automobile. People can get to where they need to go quickly and easy, and it has given a new kind of freedom to many people who may not have experienced it ago. But is driving really the best thing for our society? I argue that it is not. First, pollution was a serious problem, and more cars only make them worse. There is just not way to reduce pollution without decrease the number of cars on the road. Second, cars are very dangerous. Traffic accidents are responsible tens of thousands of deaths every year. Finally, cars are so expensive for most people to afford. However, that doesn’t stop low-income families from spending the most of their money to pay for the family car.

【解析】

试题分析：短文改错题

【1】 city改为cities; 第二句中in big city and small towns, city 和town 都是可数名词，都用复数形式，故改为cities.

【2】easy 改为easily; 第三句 People can get to where they need to go quickly and easy; quickly 和easy 都是用来修饰动词go的，因此都应用副词形式，故改为easily.

【3】ago 改为before; ago 和before两者均可表示在多久时间“以前”(要放在表示一段时间的词语之后)，但有区别：ago 从现在向前回溯，即现在的过去，因此通常与一般过去时连用；而 before 则从过去向前回溯，即指过去的过去，因此通常与过去完成时连用(尤其用于宾语从句中)。如：I bought the computer two years ago. 我是两年前买这台电脑的。He said they had left five days before. 他说他们 5 天前就离开了。第三句中people who may not have experienced it ago，此处用的是现在完成时结构，意思是“很多人之前没有经历过”，故改为before.

【4】was 改为is; 第六句中pollution was a serious problem 即“污染是一个严重的问题”。第一这描述的是一个事实不是过去的状态不能用过去式，第二全文用到的都是一般现在时，需要与全文保持一致，故改为is

【5】them 改为it. 第六句的them指代的是pollution, pollution是不可数名词没有复数形式，因此代词也应用单数，故改为it.

【6】not 改为no; 固定句型there is no way to do 表示“没有办法做某事”，故改为no

【7】decrease改为 decreasing; 第七句中的without是介词，介词后面要加动名词，所以是without doing, 故改为decreasing.

【8】responsible后加 for; responsible 是形容词，意思为“负责的，有责任的”be responsible for 表示“为……负责，是……的原由”。第七句Traffic accidents are responsible tens of thousands of deaths意思是“交通事故是造成成千上万伤亡的原因”，故添加for

【9】so 改为too. “too.......to...”结构表示”太……而不能……”。第十句cars are so expensive for most people to afford 表示“汽车太贵了，很多人负担不起”故改为too

【10】most前去掉the;most 有下列几种词性,根据不同词性的要求,有的需要用the,有的则不需要。第一形容词最高级,修饰名词,在特指时前面需要用定冠词 the, 如：He won the most votes. 他拥有最多数的选票.第二副词最高级,修饰多音节形容词时要求加定冠词,如：The story is the most interesting. 这故事最有趣.第三不定代词,指代大多数人或事物,前面不能用定冠词,如 Most of the town was destroyed. 大多数城镇被破坏.第四名词,表示“最大的数量或程度”,特指时需要用定冠词,如：She has the most to gain. 她可以获得最多的收益. 第十一句中的most of their money 中的most 是不定代词, 因此不需要加定冠词. 故去掉the
