[注释] 1 risks ∧ worth → are 本句有一个由“when”引导的时间状语从句。主句“Clearly some risks worth taking”缺少谓语动词。worth是形容词，一般用于短语“be worth doing”(值得做某事)。原句中错把worth当成动词，漏掉了一个系动词are。
2 its → his 本句比较长，首先分析其结构：a man是主语;“surrounded by … smoke”是分词的后置定语;considers是主要谓语动词;that引导宾语从句;从句中“jumping…window”是动名词做主语;is是系动词;“an acceptable risk”是表语;to save its life是risk的定语。此句意为：“一个被火焰和浓烟包围的人一般认为跳出二楼窗户是救他的命的一个可以承受的冒险办法。”因而这里life指的是这个人的life，代词its用错了，要改为his。这属于代词与先行词一致性方面的错误。
3 are ∧ really → not 本句语法上没有错误，但是从上下文的理解来看，本句应是否定含义，不是肯定含义。从句首的“But”转折连词判断，上文提到跳窗户救命是关系生死的大事，但是在医学上，一些实验、程序等等却不是关系生死的事情。“a matter of life and death”是“涉及生死的事情”。此处属于篇章理解错误。
4 medicine → medical 此处是词性错误。medicine是名词“医学、医药”的意思，不能用来修饰后面的名词reasons,因而要改成形容词medical。
5 in → on 此处是固定搭配错误。depend on：依靠。dependent是depend的形容词形式。dependent on：依靠……的。
6 anything ∧ a → but “cannot save anything a sore throat”句意不通顺，anything和a sore throat(喉咙痛)是两个名词短语，不能叠用，中间根据句意应加上一个but。全句译为：切除扁桃体只能治喉咙痛。这属于连接词错误。
7 necessary → unnecessary 本句属于篇章理解错误。necessary and harmful构成一对矛盾，因而要把表示正面含义的necessary变成表示负面含义的unnecessary。
8 preparing → prepared “be prepared to do …”是固定短语，意思是“准备做某事”，相当于“be ready to do …”。这里prepared作形容词用。“be preparing”只能解释为进行时态，很显然这里不应用进行时态。put up with：承受、忍受。
9 high → highly high是形容词，后面personal也是形容词，形容词不能修饰另一个形容词，因而把high变成highly。副词可以修饰形容词。这属于词性错误。
10 remain → leave remain：保持、仍然，是一个表示状态的动词，其用法和系动词“be”相似，后面所接成分一般是名词或形容词，作表语。例如：He remains silent all through the night.leave是“留下，留给”的意思，是及物动词。leave sth.to sb：把某物留给某人。
例如：Please leave the reference book to me.本句很明显是leave …to …的句型，所以应把remain改成leave。这是易混词错误。 根据以上改错真题分析可以看出，错误类型主要有篇章理解错误(73、77)，词性错误(71、74、79)，固定搭配错误(75、78)，代词与先行词一致性方面的错误(72)，易混词错误(80)，连接词错误(76)。
