3．She looks like any other schoolgirl，fresh-faced and full of life．Sarah Thomas is looking forward to challenge of her new A-level course．But unlike school friends，16-year-old Sarah is not spending half-term （61）resting （rest）．Instead，she is earning $6，500 a day as（62）a model in New York．
   Sarah  （63）has been told/was told（tell） that she could be Britain's new supermodel，earning a million dollars in the new year．Her father Peter 44，want her to give up school to model full-time．But Sarah，（64）whohas taken part in shows along with top models，wants （65）to prove（prove） that she has brains as well as beauty．She is determined to carry on with her（66）education（educate）．
   She has turned down several （67）invitations（invitation） to star at shows in order to concentrate on her studies．After school she plans to take a year off to model full-time before going to university to get a degree （68）in engineering or architecture．
    Sarah says，"My dad thinks I should take the offer now．But at the moment，school （69）is coming（come） first．I don't want to get too absorbed in modeling．It is（70）certainly（certain） fun but the lifestyle is a little unreal．I don't want to have nothing else to fall back on when I can't model any more．"

分析 短文主要講了Sarah在堅持自己的模特事業(yè)的同時，也兼顧好自己的學(xué)業(yè)，在事業(yè)和學(xué)業(yè)上雙豐收．

解答 61．resting，考查固定搭配，spend some time doing sth．"花費時間做某事"，因此應(yīng)使用rest的動名詞形式resting．
62．a(chǎn)，考查冠詞，model是可數(shù)名詞，前應(yīng)使用冠詞a．
63．has been told/was told，考查謂語動詞，此處Sarah已經(jīng)是別人告訴她的了，應(yīng)使用一般過去時的被動語態(tài)，第二種答案此處表示Sarah已經(jīng)被告知她能成為英國的超模，因此使用現(xiàn)在完成時的被動語態(tài)也可以，故答案為has been told/was told．
64．who，考查定語從句的引導(dǎo)詞，先行詞是Sarah，因此引導(dǎo)定語從句應(yīng)使用who．
65．to prove，考查固定搭配want to do sth．，故答案為to prove．
66．education，考查名詞，形容詞性物主代詞her后應(yīng)使用educate的名詞形式．
67．invitations，考查名詞的復(fù)數(shù)，several用來修飾可數(shù)名詞復(fù)數(shù)，invite的名詞形式為invitation，其復(fù)數(shù)形式為invitations．
68．in，考查介詞，表示"…的學(xué)位"應(yīng)使用介詞in．
69．is coming，考查謂語動詞，根據(jù)前面的時間狀語at the moment可知句子使用現(xiàn)在進(jìn)行時，故答案為is coming．
70．certainly，考查副詞，此處應(yīng)使用副詞certainly修飾謂語．

點評 短文改錯要具備兩個基礎(chǔ)，一是懂得分析句子結(jié)構(gòu)，二是知道充當(dāng)各個句子成分的詞類或詞性．并且注意人稱代詞，從句的引導(dǎo)詞，名詞單復(fù)數(shù)，和全文時態(tài)的理解，對于一些固定搭配，平時的學(xué)習(xí)中要多注意積累．
