本文作者得知Jack要来北京继续深造，为Jack介绍了一些他可能感兴趣的事情。 考查固定句型。let me后面接动词原形，所以to划掉。

考查固定用法。As is known to all众所周知，是固定用法，所以It—As。

考查固定结构。One of + 可数名词复数，表示…… 之一，所以university—universities。 考查非谓语动词。Study与其逻辑主语you之间是主动关系，所以用现在分词，Studied—Studying。

考查固定句型。This / That/ It is/ was＋the＋序数词＋名词＋从句(从句中的时态要用完成时态；如前为is，则用现在完成时，如为was则用过去完成时)，所以live前插入have。 考查时态。表是一个客观的事实，用一般现在时，所以was—is。

考查冠词。泛指“北京的一个商业中心”，且business首字母发音是辅音，所以用不定冠词a，the—a。

考查副词。修饰形容词convenient，用副词，所以extreme—extremely。

考查副词。此外，大多数北京人非常和蔼和友好。表示“此外”，所以Beside—Besides。 考查固定结构。look forward to + v+ing期待做某事，是固定用法，所以meet—meeting。 名师点睛：本题考查较为细致，要求考生要特别耐心答题中注意句子中人称和数是否一致，时态是否一致。各种词性之间的区别以及一些常用句型，固定短语的应用。一般的这类题型不会出现太复杂的单词和句子，这类题型考察基础知识较多。平时应注重积累，熟记一些句型及惯用结构。修改前先细读短文，标出出错的位置，改完以后还得细读短文，看看改过后的短文是否语意通顺，符合逻辑。
