湖北2014年高考考试说明出炉 文理综合用全国统一卷
湖北2014年高考考试说明出炉文理综合用全国统一卷
昨日,《2014年普通高等学校招生全国统一考试(湖北卷)考试说明》新鲜出炉,本报第一时间邀请专家名师进行解读。
今年湖北省约有40万名考生参加高考,考试继续实行“3+X”模式,语文、数学、英语为自主命题。高考大纲详细介绍了这三个科目的命题思想、考试内容、考试形式、难度设计、试卷结构等,并提供了示范题型或样卷。大纲详细内容可参看2014年1月号的《湖北招生考试》杂志。
省教育考试院专家介绍,湖北省今年高考命题难度保持稳定,但将继续深化考试内容改革,更注重考查学生三大素养、四大能力,即语文素养、数学素养、学习与创新素养,及信息获取与加工的能力、分析问题与解决问题的能力、事实判断与推理的能力、结果的阐释与交流能力,“新课改推进得好、素质教育实施得好的学校,学生将在高考中占据优势。”
华师一附中高三名师分析今年的高考大纲后发现,语文、数学、英语的考点和命题思路都稍有调整。
据了解,今年湖北省高考的文科综合、理科综合和外语小语种(法、德、日、俄)均使用教育部考试中心命制的全国统一课标卷,这些科目的高考大纲将于近日出炉。
三科目高考大纲变化
语文
“名著阅读”地位提升,由以前隶属于“文学常识”,到今年二者并列。
古诗词考查中,《鱼我所欲也》、《使至塞上》、《水调歌头》走了,《观沧海》、《行路难》、《破阵子》来了。
《孟子》列入今年考试范围,并增加《谈美》作为备选内容。
数学
不等式中,“一元二次不等式与相应的二次函数、二次方程的联系”由“了解”改为“理解”。
导数及其应用中,新增“定积分的简单应用”,要求是“了解”。

LONDON—The Britain-China relationship will be "greater" this year after a "golden" year of 2015, Prime Minister David Cameron said at a reception in his office attended by about 100 representatives from Britain and China to celebrate the Chinese Lunar New Year.
“If you want one year of harvest, grow grain. If you want ten years of harvest, grow trees. If you want a thousand years of harvest, grow relationships between people and people, Cameron used a Chinese saying to explain the reason why they engaged in the building of this great relationship between Britain and China.

2014年高考英语听力真题分析(湖北卷)
2014年湖北高考英语听力真题分析报告
2014年湖北高考英语听力试题稳中有变,但总体上保持了历年的出题风格,选材关注生活,体现语篇的交际功能。材料篇幅短小精悍,但题目设置灵活,选项干扰性强,在事实细节题的基础上进行推理判断者居多,直接题较少,对考生的词汇量、语感与听力能力要求高。今年的英语试题在语料选取和试题设置方面有如下特点:
一、总体情况
本套试题材料话题具有时代气息,生活化、交际化、口语化程度高。材料总字数为874字,与去年(873字)基本持平。语速也跟13年相当——女声偏重于英音,男声依然偏重于美音。整体录音的平均语速大约在140WPM, 与去年相差不大。试题整体难度系数依然偏大,理解和推断题占比多。难度题约有15个左右,数量与去年相当,但难题的理解性增强。
个短对话一个回合数的占4个,另外一个为2个回合。字数有所降低,对话回合减少,意味着对话信息强度增大,对学生瞬间反应能力要求更高。
3. 选材别有心裁。主要体现在以下几点:
(1)场景鲜活逼真,对话语境丰富、生活性强,情节跌宕起伏,内容风趣幽默。如第4段对话,男士发现超市里一位和自己撞衫的人很丑,结果竟然是镜子里的自己。如第5题中,母亲揭穿儿子回家晚的惯用借口时说到“I’ve got used to this kind of excuse. Could you try something new?”让人会心一笑。第8段对话更是妙趣横生,刻画了一个不甘心当女招待有着更大理想的单亲母亲形象。
(2)新颖材料:家庭教育问题
Text 9中关于孩子的教育问题在当代更是一个热点话题。“Let’s create an emergency situation for him. Then he’ll have real-life experience instead of just theory.”材料中的父母摆脱
