本次六级改错试题文章内容是如何准备求职简历。这个主题贴近考生生活，文章没有在理解上设置较高难度，结构也相当清晰，初看似乎较往年简单一些。但是，在错误的设计中，相当多地纳入了同学们平时在写作中常犯的错误，这样的题目设计导致了很多考生马失前蹄。

例如S1中冠词的缺失，S2中ultimate形容词与副词的混淆，S6中的介词搭配错误以及S8中keep up 之类动词词组的误用等等，都是我们在历年四六级考试作文阅卷中经常发现的问题。

命题人每年会大量参考四六级作文这个庞大的语料库从中寻找设计错误的素材，道理很简单，一个人对自己本身常犯的错误通常是缺乏应有的敏感度的。因此，建议各位同学在有针对性地准备各种类型的改错试题的同时，认真总结自己的作文练习和翻译练习，如果有条件的话可以相互批改作文，找出错误，尤其是反复出现的错误，在以后的练习中尽量避免。

值得注意的是，本次考试10道题中有三题涉及动词的分词结构应用，分别是S4 end 改为ending, S7 listing改为list, 以及S9 taking 改为taken。由于词汇考试中存在对词汇应用考察逐渐加强，而对语法考察相对减少的趋势，有些同学在备考的时候多少忽视了涉及语法知识的题目。我们认为，对于以往常考的一些特殊语法结构，特别是涉及虚拟语气、动词非谓语形式、定语从句等的内容，仍应引起足够的重视。
