一 高考英语试题的主要特点
如果你想在高考中取得好成绩,总复习确有成效,你就必须对高考试题的主要特点有一个清楚的了解。
试题的基本难度不变
2005年的英语试题在题型,难度,测试范围,及区分度上都将与前几年一致,因为无论全国试题或地方自命试题都是按考试大纲命制的。随着新教材的使用和新课标的执行,过三四年后高考肯定会有大的变化,但2005年不会。这就使高三师生在备考时有了明确的方向。想了解高考吗?请读读考试大纲和2001年至2004年的高考试题吧。
重视实际使用英语能力的考核。
现在的高考主要考查语言运用,即在实际生活中听说读写的能力。 换句话说,如果你的听力好,阅读强,写作也不错那在2005年的英语高考中就能拿一个高分。如果你只知道一些语法知识的细枝末节,而听、读、写都没怎么练,那你在高考中肯定是英雄无用武之地,分数上不去。
突出语篇的作用,在活的情景中考查。
所谓突出语篇的作用,即通过语篇考查听、读、写的能力,而不是孤立地、无上下文的单句式的考查。
4.考英语还要考思维能力和综合文化素质
英语卷不仅仅在考英语,几乎每一个试题都渗透着对观察、分析、记忆、想象,推理,判断和综合能力的测试,以及对学生全面文化素质的考查。试卷中主要试题都是在对话和短文中进行考核的,都有具体的语境,都需要分析,推测和概括。所以,只会死背句型,不善推理判断,记忆不准确,知识面又窄,这样的学生在高考面前就会显得力不从心。
5.阅读理解能力是重点检查的能力
高考对英语听说读写诸项能力的测试并非均衡对待,而是按照教学大纲的要求,突出了对阅读能力的测试。这不仅表现在阅读理解题在试卷中占的比重最大(40分),还表现在阅读能力是决定听力,完形填空、书面表达、单项填空等题型答题效果的最基本的能力。强调对阅读的检测也符合中国人学习英语的规律。阅读是目前中国人学习英语的主要方式,阅读又是获取较综合,较复杂,较深刻信息的手段,突出考察阅读能力是完全正确的。
6.强调基础知识和基本技能的掌握。
高考作为一种选拔性的考试,虽然有难题,但主要考的仍是基础知识和基本技能。基础的东西掌握好了,才可能把试卷中的中低档的题做对,也才有可能攻克由诸项基础知识综合而成的难题。 高考成绩的高低,主要取决于基础知识和基本技能的掌握。那种在总复习中一味追求难题、怪题,而忽视基础知识的落实与基本技能训练的作法,实在是与高考命题主导思想背道而弛。
