3. 指代錯誤與冠詞錯誤

同單復數(shù)一樣，解指代錯誤題也要關注指代的對象到底是單數(shù)還是復數(shù)：

(1)During the 1980s’ culture wars, school systems across the country pulled some books from library shelves because its content was deemed by parents and teachers to be inappropriate.（07年1月新六級改錯第9題）這里its指代前面的some books，所以物主代詞應該是their而不是its。

(2)As a result, children memorize processes such as mathematical formulas or the periodic table, only to forget it shortly afterwards.（07年1月六級改錯第7題）容易發(fā)現(xiàn)it指代前面的processes，因為是復數(shù)，所以該用復數(shù)的賓格them。

(3) At same time（06年6月六級改錯第七題）地球人都知道的at the same time是固定短語。

(4) in first paragraph（06年1月六級改錯第一題）序數(shù)詞前面要加the，這是初中的知識。

(5) a number of leprosy cases around the world has been cut by ninety percent during the past ten years.(05年1月六級改錯第一題)表示數(shù)量多少應該用the number of。

(6)The fast-growing population’s demand for food，they warned，would soon exceed their supply…(04年1月六級改錯第二題)這里的their指代population，而人口是一個單數(shù)的概念，所以物主代詞要用its。
