Last Friday a storm swept through two villages in the New Territories, destroying fourteen homes. Seven others were so badly damaged that their owners had to leave them，and fifteen others had broken windows or broken roofs. One person was killed，several were badly hurt and taken to hospital，and a number of other people received smaller hurt. Altogether over two hundred people were homeless after the storm. A farmer，Mr.Tan, said that the storm began early in the morning and lasted for over an hour.
“I was eating with my wife and children，”he said，“When we heard a loud noise.
A few minutes later our house fell down on top of us. We tried our best to climb out but then I saw that one of my children was missing. I went back inside and found him，safe but very frightened.”
Mrs. Woo Mei Fong said that her husband had just left for work when she felt that her house was moving. She ran outside at once with her children.
“There was no time to take anything.” she said，“A few minutes later，the roof came down.”
Soldiers helped to take people out of the flooded area and the welfare department(福利机构)brought them food，clothes and shelter.
【小题1】How many homes altogether were damaged in the storm?
A．Fourteen. B．Twentyone.
C．Twentynine. D．Thirtysix.

阅读下列短文, 从给的四个选项 (A、B、C和D) 中, 选出最佳选项。
(xx·全国Ⅱ，A)
Doctors are known to be terrible pilots. They don't listen because they already know it all. I was lucky: I became a pilot in 1970, almost ten years before I graduated from medical school. I didn't realize then, but being a pilot makes me a better surgeon.
I loved flying. As I flew bigger, faster planes, and in worse weather, I learned about crew resource management (机组资源管理), or CRM, a new idea to make flying safer. It means that crew members should listen and speak up for a good result, regardless of positions.
I first read about CRM in 1980. Not long after that, an attending doctor and I were flying in bad weather. The controller had us turn too late to get our landing ready. The attending doctor was flying; I was safety pilot. He was so busy because of the bad turn, he had forgotten to put the landing gear (起落架) down. He was a better pilot—and my boss—so it felt unusual to speak up. But I had to: Our lives were in danger. I put aside my uneasiness and said, “We need to put the landing gear down now！” That was my first real lesson in the power of CRM, and I've used it in the operating room ever since.
CRM requires that the pilot/surgeon encourage others to speak up. It further requires that when opinions are from the opposite, the doctor doesn't overreact, which might prevent fellow doctors from voicing opinions again. So when I'm in the operating room, I ask for ideas and help from others. Sometimes they're not willing to speak up. But I hope that if I continue to encourage them, someday someone will keep me
from“landing_gear_up”．
文章大意：众所周知，医生是糟糕的飞行员，但飞行使我成为好的医生。
1．What dose the author say about doctors in general?
A．They like flying by themselves.
B．They are unwilling to take advice.
C．They pretend to be good pilots.
D．They are quick learners of CRM.
答案：B 推理判断题。根据短文最后一段一、二、三句话可知，CRM要求飞行员或医生鼓励他人说出自己的建议，甚至相反的建议，但又阻止医生有过激反应，所以他们不愿意说出自己的建议，由此可知他们是不愿意接受建议，故B项正确。
2．The author deepened his understanding of the power of CRM when ________. A．he saved the plane by speaking up
B．he was in charge of a flying task
C．his boss landed the plane too late
D．his boss operated on a patient
答案：A 推理判断题。根据短文第二段倒数四句话可知，说出建议是不寻常的，但当人们处于危险时，我把不安放在一边，大胆说出自己的建议，拯救了飞机，使我加深了对CRM力量的理解。
3．In the last paragraph “landing gear up” probably means ________. A．following flying requirements
B．overreacting to different opinions
C．listening to what fellow doctors say
D．making a mistake that may cost lives
答案：D 词义理解题。由第二段可知，我大胆说出自己的建议，拯救了飞机，此处我希望继续鼓励他们说出建议，将来某一天会阻止犯让人丢性命的错误。
4．Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A．CRM: A New Way to Make Flying Safe.
B．Flying Makes Me a Better Doctor.
C．The Making of a Good Pilot.
D．A PilotTurned Doctor.
答案：B 主旨大意题。第一段是主题段。第一段的第四句话是主题句，故B项正确。
阅读下列短文, 从给的四个选项 (A、B、C和D) 中, 选出最佳选项。
(xx·江苏，C)
If a diver surfaces too quickly, he may suffer the bends. Nitrogen(氮) dissolved (溶解)in his blood is suddenly liberated by the reduction of pressure. The consequence, if the bubbles (气泡)accumulate in a joint, is sharp pain and a bent body—thus the name. If the bubbles form in his lungs or his brain, the consequence can be death. Other airbreathing animals also suffer this depression(减压)sickness if they surface too fast: whales, for example. And so, long ago, did ichthy osaurs (鱿). That these ancient sea animals got the bends can be seen from their bones. If bubbles of nitrogen form inside the bone they can cut off its blood supply. This kills the cells in the bone, and consequently weakens it, sometimes to the point of collapse. Fossil(化石)bones that have caved in on themselves are thus a sign that the animal once had the bends.
Bruce Rothschild of the University of Kansas knew all this when he began a study of ichthyosaur bones to find out how widespread the problem was in the past. What he particularly wanted to investigate was how ichthyosaurs adapted to the problem of depression over the 150 million years. To this end, he and his colleagues traveled the world's naturalhistory museums, looking at hundreds of ichthyosaurs from the Triassic period and from the later Jurassic and Cretaceous periods.
When he started, he assumed that signs of the bends would be rarer in younger fossils, reflecting their gradual evolution of measures to deal with depression. Instead, he was astonished to discover the opposite. More than 15% of Jurassic and Cretaceous ichthyosayurs had suffered the bends before they died, but not a single Triassic specimen(标本)showed evidence of that sort of injury.
If ichthyosaurs did evolve an antidepression means, they clearly did so quickly—and, most strangely, they lost it afterwards. But that is not what Dr Rothschild thinks happened. He suspects it was evolution in other animals that caused the change. Whales that suffer the bends often do so because they have surfaced to escape a predator (捕食动物)such as a large shark. One of the features of Jurassic oceans was an
abundance of large sharks and crocodiles, both of which were fond of ichthyosaur lunches. Triassic oceans, by contrast, were mercifully sharkand crocodilefree. In the Triassic, then, ichthyosaurs were top of the food chain. In the Jurassic and Cretaceous, they were prey(猎物)as well as predator—and often had to make a speedy exit as a result.
文章大意：当下潜者突然浮出水面，血液中的氮气会突然释放出来，引起剧烈的疼痛和身体的弯曲。Bruce Rothschild研究为什么普遍存在的这种现象在早期鱼龙身上不存在，晚期的鱼龙身上就出现了。
5．Which of the following is a typical symptom of the bends?
A．A twisted body.
B．A gradual decrease in blood supply.
C．A sudden release of nitrogen in blood.
D．A drop in blood pressure.
答案：A 推理判断题。根据第一段第二句话“The consequence, if the bubbles accumulate in a joint, is sharp pain and a bent body—thus the name”当血液中的氮气释放，聚集在关节处，结果就是剧烈的疼痛和身体的弯曲——这就是bends这个名字的由来。由此可知，bends的典型症状就是弯曲的身体。
6．The purpose of Rothschild's study is to see ________.
A．how often ichthyosaurs caught the bends
B．how ichthyosaurs adapted to depression
C．why ichthyosaurs bent their bodies
D．when ichthyosaurs broke their bones
答案：B 细节理解题。根据第三段第二句话“What he particularly wanted to investigate was how ichthyosaurs adapted to the problem of depression over the 150 million years.”可得出答案。
7．Rothschild's finding stated in Paragraph 4 ________.
A．confirmed his assumption
B．speeded up his research process
C．disagreed with his assumption
D．changed his research objectives
答案：C 推理判断题。根据根据第四段第二句话“Instead，he was astonished to discover the opposite.”说明他的发现和他的假设是相反的。
8．Rothschild might have concluded that ichthyosaurs ________.
A．failed to evolve an antidepression means
B．gradually developed measures against the bends
C．died out because of large sharks and crocodiles
D．evolved an antidepression means but soon lost it
答案：A 推理判断题。根据最后一段，最初鱼龙处于食物链的顶端，没有动物捕杀它们，所以它们无需急剧浮出水面，因此无bends现象，但是到了鱼龙成为了猎物，所以有了bends
现象，而它们没有跟着进化。

The aim of writing a letter of application is to help you to “sell” yourself.
It should state 1 the job you want，and should tell what your abilities are and what you have 2 . It should be simple，human，personal and brief without 3 out any necessary fact.
In writing a letter of application，bear in mind that the things a possible employer
is most 4 to want to know about are your qualifications，your achievements
and your aims. The opening paragraph is perhaps the most important part. If the first
few sentences fail to 5 the reader’s attention，the rest of the letter may
not be 6 at all. Try to key your opening remarks to the needs or interests of
the employer not to your own need or desires. For example，instead of beginning with
“I saw your 7 in today’s paper.” You might say, “I have made a careful study
of your advertising duri ng the past six months” or “I have made a survey in my neighborhood to find out how many housewives 8 your product and why they like it.”
Try to 9 generalities. Be clear about the kind of job for which you are now 10 . College graduates lo oking for their first positions often ask “What can
I 11 in a letter？Employers want experience，which，naturally，no 12 has.” The answer is that everything you have ever done is 13 . It is important
to write a good strong closing for your letter. 14 a specific request for an interview of giving the possible employer something definite to do or expect. An excellent 15 is to enclose a stamped，self-addressed envelope with your letter. That makes it easier for a possible employer to get in touch with you.
1．A. clearly B．carefully C．obviously D．easily
2．A. found B．done C．known D．heard
3．A. sending B．taking C．leaving D．picking 4．A. probable B．possible C．likely D．able

How much is the entrance fee? $25 - Private, noncommercial vehicle; $20 - Motorcycle or snowmobile (winter); $12 - Visitors 16 and older entering by foot, bike, ski, etc. This fee provides the visitor with a 7-day entrance permit for both Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks.

For those who want to be a little closer to nature, there are 12 campgrounds with a range of services from primitive pit toilets to shower and laundry facilities. There's also RV camping with and without dumping stations. Staying outside the park gives you unique Old West experiences but still keeps you close to park attractions.

高考英语二轮复习策略
高考英语二轮复习策略 英语卷无论是考试形式、试题结构，坚持稳定为主，注重基础考查，重点考查考生“在特定语境中语言运用能力”，即运用英语获取信息、处理信息、分析问题和解决问题的能力。始终不变的重点知识，考生应该将其列为复习内容，同时抓牢基础知识，不要一味做偏、难、怪题。现提供以下三大点备考建议供参考： 一、回归基础，突出对主干知识的复习 高考英语改革虽然从强调知识考查向注重综合语言运用能力转变，但是还应认识到能力要有扎实的基础作为依托。尤其是到最后冲刺阶段更要重视基础知识的复习。一模后，一些考生普遍都有这样的感觉：很多题目“一看就会，一做就错”。造成这种现象的根本原因在于对基础知识的掌握不牢固。只有扎扎实实地从基础做起，才能“一看就会，一做就对”。英语基础知识包括词汇、语法、句型等。词汇复习应做到从不间断、反复巩固。除了记忆和理解之外，尤其要注意常用词汇的使用和辨析，以及一词多义的掌握。语法复习要理清基本概念，着重复习主干知识。比如，动词的时态、语态、语气，非谓语动词、情态动词等都是高考常涉及的知识点。但切记不要在钻研语法的难点上花过多时间，
英语语法不是数学公式，在不同的语境中用法就不同。 二、查漏补缺，强化专题训练 一模结束后，复习的重点要放在查漏补缺上。将做过的试卷整理后，建立错题档案，弥补知识漏洞，进行强化记忆和训练。比如，在建立错题档案时发现在非谓语动词、从句方面出错率比较高，就应该重点复习这方面的知识。不要注重记多少题，重要的是记住老师在课堂上对这些题的分析过程。抄录资料或刊物上的讲解也是值得推荐的方法。到考试前再回顾、反思、比较、消化，以期达到遇到同类试题不再出错的目的。复习中要加强题型专项训练，在训练中提高解题能力和解题速度；尤其要重视听力训练，所选听力材料不宜过难，语速要适中。复习中应适当加强对重点内容的强化训练和题后分析，提高“考点识别、寻找已知条件、排错求证”的思维能力。训练快速阅读的能力，提高带着问题快速搜索信息，根据上下文提示进行逻辑推断的能力。多读一些原汁原味的文章，通过广泛涉猎，培养英语语感，提高对词、句、篇的理解速度和准确度。专项训练要多、模拟测试要适当。 强调阅读语速是语言实际运用的主要特征之一，一般应保持在60wpm左右，按照“高中英语课程标准”要求，高中毕业时甚至应该达到70―80wpm.在平时训练中一定要注意 坚持阅读速度的要求。在真实语言环境中，所接触材料的篇

Which of the following is NOT true? A. The employer will give you a raise because of your personal reasons. B. You should show them that you’re worthy of a salary increase. C.

Only if you find a proper time to talk with your boss will you get a raise. D. You should schedule a meeting within a few months to discuss the matter again. B Here’s one number to keep in mind during your next cell phone conversation: 50. A new experiment shows that spending 50 minutes with an active phone pressed up to the ear increases activity in the brain. This brain activity probably doesn't make you smarter. When cell phones are on, they emit (发出) energy in the form of radiation that could be harmful, especially after years of cell phone usage. Scientists don't know yet whether cell phones are bad for the brain. Studies like this one are attempting to find it out. The 47 participants in the experiment may have looked a little strange. Each one had two Samsung cell phones attached to his or her head — one on each ear. The phone on the left ear was off. The phone on the right ear played a message for 50 minutes, but the participants couldn't hear it because the sound was off. With this set-up, the scientists could be sure they were studying brain activity from the phone itself, and not brain activity due to listening and talking during a conversation. After 50 minutes with two phones strapped to their heads, the participants were given PET scans. The PET scan showed that the left side (the side with the phone turned off) of each participant's brain hadn't changed during the experiment. The right side of the brain, however, had used more glucose, which is a type of sugar that provides fuel to brain cells. These right-side brain cells were using almost as much glucose as the brain uses when a person is talking. This suggests th at the brain cells there were active ― even without the person hearing anything. That activity, the scientists say, was probably caused by radiation from the phone. Henry Lai, who works at the University of Washington in Seattle, is uncomfortable with the data related to cell phones. Holding a cell phone to your ear during a conversation is “not really safe,” Lai told Science News. Lai is a bioengineer at the University of Washington in Seattle. He wrote an article about the new study for a journal, but he did not work on the study. Bioengineers bring together ideas from engineering and biology. For those who don't want to wait to find out for sure whether cell phones are bad for the brain, there are ways to talk more safely. You can have short and sweet conversations, use a

【英语】高考英语阅读理解专题训练答案 一、高中英语阅读理解 1．阅读理解 Google's new camera, called Clips, is a smart device. It comes with a case that has a clip (夹子), but it's not designed to be worn on your clothing. Most interestingly, it uses artificial intelligence to take photography out of your hands and captures moments entirely on its own! What sets this roughly 2-inch by 2-inch camera, with a three-hour battery life and Gorilla Glass for toughness apart is that it is specially intended for candid moments, like when a child does something cute that may happen too quickly for you to pull out your smartphone. The Clips device, it uses machine learning algorithms (计算程序) to help capture scenes. Those algorithms include face recognition. "Once it learns that there's a face you see frequently, it'll try to get nice photos of those faces," said Juston Payne, the device's product manager. And they also want it to recognize facial expressions, which involved "training it to know what happiness looks like". The Google team also trained it to recognize what not to shoot—like when a child's hand is over the lens, or if it is tossed in a dark purse. The only way to see the images is by connecting the camera with your phone, as it has no screen for viewing or editing. Concerned it could seem strange? Yes, Payne admitted, but he said they addressed that by making it obvious what it is. A green light on the front signals that it is on. Besides, unlike a camera meant to monitor your home, it is not connected to the Internet. "This product is only possible because of the way that silicon(硅) has advanced," Payne said that now they could squeeze the technology down into a device this size. Going forward, we're likely to get more assistance from the artificial intelligence packed into our apps and gadgets.（1）What is the most outstanding feature of Clips? A.It enables easy Internet access. B.It is equipped with tough glass. C.It can be worn on your clothing. D.It allows of hands-free photography. （2）What does the underlined word "candid" in Paragraph 2 mean? A.Awkward. B.Brief. C.Touching. D.Unforgettable. （3）What makes Clips a reality according to Juston Payne? A.The advance in technology. B.The popularity of the Internet. C.The screen for viewing and editing. D.The rise of the smartphone industry. （4）What does the text mainly talk about? A.New gadgets in the age of apps.
高考英语 第二轮复习策略
2012高考英语第二轮复习策略 2011年，全国很多地区进入了新课改，新课改高考英语究竟怎么考？试卷结构如何？同学们该如何备考才能达到最佳效果？这些都是学校、英语教师、学生和家长都比较关注的一个热点话题。 整体上看，2011年各地新课改高考英语试卷都严格按照考试大纲和各省考试说明的要求编制，试题有较高的区分度。 试卷保持了“稳中有变，变中求新”的基本命题思路，始终坚持了“突出语篇，强调应用，注重交际”这一命题原则。单项填空题着重考查在语境中的语法运用和对词义的正确理解，不拘泥于单纯的知识点，而加强了对知识点综合运用能力的考查；完形填空更加注重篇章结构能力的考查，加强对“预阅”能力的考查，要从前后句和前后段的综合理解、推断中才能作出选择；阅读理解直接从文章中找答案的题目逐渐少了，主观推测的题目逐渐变了，出现“推测作者意图”的题目；改错题逐步弱化语法，增强篇章综合分析能力；书面表达从几种日常写作题型格式逐渐注重实际运用。 除此之外，部分省市的试卷中采用了新题型或在原有的题型上做了一些新的调整，从命题上更加“注重基础、强调应用、突出语篇、注重交际”，试题越来越注意题目设置的巧妙、灵活性、通用性、应用性、社会性。越来越注意对学生能力的考查，渗透着新课改的思想。 变化篇：重基础→考点考查，稳中求进，尝试新题型。 通过认真分析2011年新课改后全国各省（市、区）的高考英语试题，新课改后各省（市、区）的高考英语试题有一些共性，也有一些差异。 基础知识：英语知识运用测试的内容基本为单项填空（语法和词汇知识）和完形填空。差异性比较大的是广东省和陕西省。广东省测试的方向为语言知识及运用，内容分为完形填空测试和语法填空测试两个板块。陕西省在英语知识运用方面测试的方向为语音知识（满分5分）、情景对话（满分5分）、单项填空（满分15分）和完形填空（满分30分）。 阅读理解：在阅读理解方面大部分地区测试的形式相同。安徽、福建、浙江等3个地区阅读篇数为5篇；宁夏、海南、吉林、黑龙江、山东、陕西、北京、江苏、天津、辽宁等10个地区阅读篇数为4篇；广东、湖南、上海等3地区阅读理解只有3篇。广东省在阅读方面增加了信息匹配试题，即阅读一篇应用文及相关信息，按照要求匹配信息。湖南省在写作中增加了任务型阅读和阅读表达。上海市把阅读分为四个板块来测试，包括完形填空、阅读理解、选择标题和读写阅读。

高考英语二轮复习策略
高考英语二轮复习策略 高三英语复习在如火如荼的进行着，同学们的复习效果可谓是冰火两重天，有的同学掌握了英语的学习规律，复习的十分轻松，有的同学因为不得法，整天向我抱怨英语难学，有的甚至因为英语的瘸腿而与名牌大学失之交臂，许多家长也对孩子的英语是忧心忡忡。小编的八个必方法供同学们参考。 一、多听老师的，少自作主张 虽然同学们之前经历过很多考试，但高考对于我们来讲还是有些陌生。就算有些学生在高一、高二已经做过高考题，对于自己的知识缺陷到底有哪些，高考的重点是什么也不一定有非常清晰的了解。而高三的英语第一轮复习主要就是从语法和词法两个方面帮助大家梳理知识，并对应试策略加以指导。教高三的教师大都有着非常丰富的高考经验，也都会制定详细的教学计划，因此我们在安排自己的复习内容时要尽量和老师同步，把当天复习的内容彻底搞清楚，并辅以相应的练习加以巩固。遇到不会的，应该第一时间请教老师，千万不要留到最后甚至弃置不管。 二、多用碎时间，少搞大突击 英语学科是非常适合利用零碎时间来学习的。五分钟的时间能干什么?也许别的学科可以安排的复习活动并不多，但是英语却有很多。比如我们可以背单词，可以做一篇速读，
可以朗读一篇文章，可以做若干个单项选择，可以听听力，可以翻看任何英语的杂志、报刊甚至小说等。总而言之，时间是海绵里的水，挤挤总是有的。当然，如果我们要复习一个比较重要的语法项目，或者做一套英语试题的时候，我们也需要相对完整的时间，但基于语言学习的灵活性，同学们要培养语言学习的意识。Learning is anytime, anywhere with anyone。(学习无处不在)有些学生在制定自己的复习计划时，把一个星期中的七天分别给了不同的科目，这样做是不太科学的。正确的做法是每天复习两至三科为宜，而英语虽然持续时间不需要很长，但每天都接触确实十分必要的。A little bit every day makes perfect(点滴铸就完美)。 三、多接触英语，少钻研语法 近几年的高考越来越重视同学们运用英语的能力，逐渐削弱了对于语法的考察。纵观一份高考英语试卷，单纯考察语法的题目几乎没有。善于观察的学生更会发现，即使是在语法聚集的单项选择题中，也是强调语境的理解。此外，还逐渐加大了词义、词语辨析的考察。完形填空的四个选项是没有语法的错误的，考察大家是否能够根据文章的意思，选择用法上最恰当的词。阅读理解更是考察大家对于篇章的理解。当然，语法并不是不重要，有很多重点的项目是需要同学们掌握的。只是提醒大家在复习的时候，要做到从语言的
高考英语阅读理解专项训练及答案及解析
高考英语阅读理解专项训练及答案及解析 一、高中英语阅读理解 1．阅读理解 Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) is gaining global popularity. According to a government white paper, TCM has been introduced in 183 countries and regions around the world. Westerners' understanding of TCM, however, may be limited to acupuncture, cupping and massage(针灸，拔罐和按摩). For instance, the purple, injury-like marks left on U. S. swimmer Michael Phelps，back from cupping for the purpose of relaxing his muscles and reducing pain became the center of attention during the Rio Olympics in 2016. As a matter of fact, Chinese herbs play a more important role in getting rid of diseases and keeping the body in good condition in the TCM treatment system than physical treatment. It is therefore disheartening to know that while 103 World Health Organization member countries have given approval to the practice of acupuncture, not many recognize Chinese herbal medicine. TCM falls far behind Western medicine owing partly to the slow development of Chinese herbs. Herbs are made into pills, powder and soup, and the kind of herbs used, their quality and quantity, and the processing of the ingredients (原材料) jointly determine the effectiveness of the prescription. Compared with Western medicine, which has standardized drug production processes and treatment methods, TCM lacks standardization, with the chemical composition and functions of its medicines being unclear and their effects being unstable. Fortunately, standardization has improved in recent decades, with an increasing number of factories producing patented TCM drugs. Another factor that has prevented the development of TCM prescription drugs is the lack of creativity. While Western medicine-making companies come up with new products every year, TCM drug producers tend to make medicines according to prescriptions handed down from the past. Chinese chemist Tu Youyou's winning the 2015 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for her research into malaria (疟疾) treatment may drive creativity to some extent in China's TCM industry. However, the current state of affairs cannot be changed within a short time. （1）Why does the author mention the example of Michael Phelps? A. Because he was injured in his swimming. B. Because cupping is a kind of important TCM treatment. C. Because westerners know a little about TCM. D. Because westerners attach great importance to TCM. （2）Why don't some member countries of WHO recognize Chinese herbal medicine? A. Because Chinese herbs can get rid of diseases. B. Because they only approve the practice of acupuncture. C. Because Western medicine is more effective. D. Because medicine made out of Chinese herbs develops slowly. （3）Compared with Western medicine, what is the weak point of TCM in Paragraph 4? A. The methods of planting herbs. B. The effectiveness of prescription. C. Lacking in standardization. D. Its stable functions.
高考英语第二轮复习的技巧和策略
2012年高考英语第二轮复习的技巧和策略 基础知识:英语知识运用测试的内容基本为单项填空(语法和词汇知识)和完形填空。差异性比较大的是广东省和陕西省。广东省测试的方向为语言知识及运用,内容分为完形填空测试和语法填空测试两个板块。陕西省在英语知识运用方面测试的方向为语音知识(满分5分)、情景对话(满分5分)、单项填空(满分15分)和完形填空(满分30分)。 阅读理解:在阅读理解方面大部分地区测试的形式相同。安徽、福建、浙江等3个地区阅读篇数为5篇;宁夏、海南、吉林、黑龙江、山东、陕西、北京、江苏、天津、辽宁等10个地区阅读篇数为4篇;广东、湖南、上海等3地区阅读理解只有3篇。广东省在阅读方面增加了信息匹配试题,即阅读一篇应用文及相关信息,按照要求匹配信息。湖南省在写作中增加了任务型阅读和阅读表达。上海市把阅读分为四个板块来测试,包括完形填空、阅读理解、选择标题和读写阅读。 书面表达:书面表达是新课标各地区都考查的一个方面,但是还是有一些差异。广东和北京是比较有特点的两个地区。广东考查的是基础写作和读写任务写作两部分,满分40分;北京考查的是情景作文和开放作文两部分,满分35分;其他几个地区考查的都是根据所给内容写一篇短文,满分25分(宁夏、海南、吉林、黑龙江、安徽、天津、辽宁、福建、湖南、江苏)或者30分(山东、陕西、浙江、上海)。 短文改错、单词拼写:短文改错和单词拼写已经逐渐被新的题型所替代。新课改省份只有陕西省既测试了单词拼写,又测试了短文改错;宁夏、海南、吉林、黑龙江、辽宁、浙江等6个地区考查了短文改错,测试的方式和以往的高考短文改错已经有所不同。广东、山东、安徽、天津、湖南、江苏、上海等7个地区测试的是读写任务、阅读表达、任务型读写、任务型阅读或者句子翻译等题型。上海测试了翻译句子。 从试题对学生英语能力的考查方向来说,新课改后各地区的英语试题重点在考查学生的听、读和写等三个方面的能力;考查学生运用英语知识来获取信息、处理信息和传达信息的能力、分析问题和解决问题的能力以及用英语进行思维和表达的能力。从试题的模块设置上来看,对听力的考查是个大趋势,新课改后只有陕西在高考试题中没有设置听力测试,其余15个地区都考查了英语听力。英语知识运用(语法、词汇、完形填空等)、阅读理解和写作是英语考查的三个主要方面,以后可能会继续考查下去。读写任务、阅读表达、任务型读写、任务型阅读或者句子翻译等类型的试题会逐渐普及开来。单词拼写、语音知识、情景对话、短文改错很可能会慢慢的退出高考英语试题的历史舞台,被新的题型所替代。 策略篇:重基础→提能力,构建“点?线?面”的立体复习网络 新课标体系下的新高考其考查目的有别于传统模式下的高考,最主要体现的是对同学们使用英语能力的考查,强调在具体语言环境下,听力﹑单词﹑语法、阅读、写作等方面的“实战应用”。因此同学们在复习时的策略应在“用”字上下工夫。即“以用为本”。强调在具体语言环境下,单词语法、阅读、写作等方面的“实战应用”。下面针对具体的部分我将分别给出建议,供大家参考。 1. 听力:分场景听。分成不同的场景,进行专项训练。这样可以有效地总结相关的单词和句型。加深对单词与短语在具体某一环境的理解,并熟练掌握相关话题的出题点。做到遇词不生,遇景不慌。加强对广播和英语电视新闻的主题和大意理解。强化态度题和观点题训练。除平时坚持听力训练外,早自习读书强调读出声也是很重要的一方面。在二轮复习中,同学们可以根据各个话题进行专题训练。 (2)单词:分文章记。新课标的词汇要求:7级要求学会使用2 400~2 500个单词和300~400个习惯用语或固定搭配。8级要求学会使用3 300个单词和400~500个习惯用语或固定搭配。如何记这些单词呢?玖久《专项突破英语》的主讲专家肖鹏老师建议,应该针对不同的场景和
