考友经验谈：英语六级短文改错的解题方法
1、三步法解题
（1）通读全文，了解全文大意和主题;
（2）找错并改正; （3）通读全文，核对检验。
2、解题步骤
（1）在理解句子的基础上，先从动词、句法的角度判断有无这方面的错误以及错误的位置;
（2）确定无句法错误后，再考虑用法、搭配和近形近义方面的错误；
（3）在排除了上述两种可能后，应着重从语篇角度寻找有无上下文语义方面的错误（注意连接性词语和那些可能有反义词的词）；
（4）注意标有题号的各行与上行或下行相临处的错误；
（5）若经过以上步骤还无法判断错误所在，则应暂时放弃该行，而继续往下做，待做完全文，对全文有更深入、更完整的理解的基础上进行检验时再作判断。宜从介词及一些简单而易被忽视的语法角度的“细微处”多加考虑。

Plato and Aristotle, in the slave-owning society of ancient Greece, thought man’s highest state was contemplation rather than activity. In the Middle Ages St. Thomas believed a regular feudal system of nine ranks of angels. Herbert 9.___Spencer, in the time of free competition between capitalists, found the key to progress as the survival of the fittest. Thus 10.___Marxism is seen to fit into its place
