上海高考英语口试应试技巧%1.笫一部分快速应答此部分主要为考察日常主活屮最主要的语言功能，在历届上海高考口试屮具考点一般可分为12项，这12项为：Greetings问候AskingIntroductions介绍SayingGood-bye告别MakingRequestsandGivingInstructions请求GvingThanks致谢AskingforPermission允许ShowingAgreementordisagreement同意不同意GvingInvitations发出邀请AskingDirection问题ExpressingGoodWishes祝愿RequestingandOfferingHelp请求与帮助MakingApologies道歉考生若要高分，则必须将这12个部分的相关表达，练习熟练，这样才能在实考屮迎刃而解。例如：（在实考中，考生听见）题H：Someofthelessonsareratherdull.考生反应：这是一个考showingagreementordisagreement型试题，因此马上在脑海屮出现这一方面的准备冋答用语（己记熟）女U：Thafssure/Iagreewithyou./ThafsexactIy./WhatIwasthinking./Ithinkso.（补一句）Idon'tlikethelessonsatall.I'mtiredoflisteningtotheselessons.结论：收集整理记忆H常住活小12类表达及相关内容是取胜该部分的关键。%1.第二部分提问题道正认为这部分试题主要对给定的情景进行提问（用特殊疑问句）这部分应试关键在于划分给定句子成份，针对不同成份预先设计问题，实考中将屮心词摸去即可。卜•面举一个用名词提问方式：例:OnemoreundergroundlinehasbeenbuiltrecentlyinShanghaio分析：本句结构可分解成如下几部分。Onemoreundergroundline（主语）思路：名词应含组成件，每一条line必有stop,因此提问：Howmanystopsdoesthisnewlinehave?思路：并且每一-条线都有终点与起点，因此提问：Whereistheterminalofthisnewline?思路：笫一条地铁线都有方位/方向，因此提问：CanwegotoPudongbythisnewline.其他思路：地点有无工作人员，司机若干，车票如何总结，这一部分只耍将句子任一组成部分深入展开，寻找细节，则解题方法极多。\n%1.口头表达此部分占整个口试考试30%,是口试屮的重点与难点，该部分应试方法主要关键在于将上海高考口试屮的对丿应部分试题归类，然后事先可收集该分类的相关表达，便可取得高分。根据上海道正学校对上海卷研究，一般可将试卷分成五大考点：1.家乡问题DescribeoneplaceofinterestinyourhometowruWhatdoyouthinkoftheweatherinyourhometown?Doyoulikelivinginthecity?Why?2.冇关社会问题Whatdoyouthinkwecandotoprotectourenvironment?Whatcanwedotomakeourcitymorebeautiful?Whatdoyouthinkifeveryoneinabigcityownsacar?Whafsyouropinionofkeepingadoginabigcity?Whyorwhynot?Areyouinfavorofsmoking?Whyorwhynot?Whatdoyouthinkoftheproblemofgenerationgap?Areyouinfavorofrunningredlight?Whyorwhynot?DoyouenjoywatchingadsonTV?Whyorwhynot?3.有关教育/学校/生活Howdoyougetalongwithyourclassmates?Whatkindofbookdoyouliketoread?Why?WhichdoyouthinkisthebestwaytolearnEnglish?Doyouthinkitnecessaryforstudentstotakeexams?Whyorwhynot?Whatdoyouknowabouttoday'seducation?4.有关休闲与爱好DoyoulikewatchingcartoonsonTV?Tellthereasons.Whatkindofsportsdoyoulikebest>tellthereasons.Doyoulikewatchingfootballmatches?Whyorwhynot?Whatdoyouthinkisthebestwaytorelax?5.有关人物的话题Saysomethingaboutateacheryoulike.Whydoyoulikehim(orher)?Whoisyourbestfriend?Saysomethingabouthim(orher).另外，这一部分也非常像口头作文，考生可按作文模式整理思路及模型。如题：TalkaboutsomechangesinShanghaioverthepast10years.思路：(上海变化)一S化出：1.浦东开发ThedevelopmentofPudong2.南浦人桥NanpuBridge3・地铁undergroundline4・交通改善Traffichasimproved5.市容变化Thecitybecomesmorebeautiful6.上海战物馆/人剧院theShanghaiGrandTheatre/theShanghaiMuseum7.拆除山房子pulldownoldhouses\n5.过江隧道threetunnels结论：此部分关键在于事先组织材料，实考时，对应I川答即可%1.看图说明这个部分关键在于6个W（who,what,which,when,where,why）与1个H（how）,因此考生回答时就可按上述儿个问题形式，组织自己的材料，然后合理给出解。如下题：解法：第一步：（介绍人称）ThemaninthepicturewasJohn,andhewasacomputerscientist.第二步：（时间）Oneday.（oneSunnyday）第三步：（行为）Johnwasdesigningprogramsforhisrobotandwantrobottoplaychesswithhim.（第一幅结束）第四步：（行为）NowJohnandhisrobotwereplayingtogether.Verysoontherobotwon3gamescontinually.Thescorewas0to3.John,ofcourse,wasveryunpleased.Sohechangedtheprogramsandmaketherobotlessclever.（第二、三幅结束）第五步：（行为）Theyplayedagainandthistimetherobotwasdefeated・第六步：（总结）Thisshows,Ithink,robotwillneverbecomemorecleverthanmenbecausetheyaredesigned,madeandcontrolledbymen.总结：道正强烈推荐考生事先按上述模型整理程序，按部就班，一切就OK推荐模式：1.人物介绍2.时间〃场景引入3.第一步动作4.转换动作5.最后动作6.结论评定（发表意见）虽然英语口试采取的是人机対话模式，但阅卷老师还是很容易从考牛•的口头表达中据量出“听、说、读”的基本功。口试与笔试最大的区别在于，前者需要考生在答题时投入更多的即时悄感，因此，从这一点来说，更需要考生冷静、机智地对许多问题做出瞬间的判断和处理,从而给“幕后考官”一个良好的印象分。高考英语口试共分5个部分，而要使每一部分答题都能获得比较理想的分数，既需要靠学生的日积月累、厚积薄发，也需耍靠临场的发挥和摸透得分“窍门”。笫一部分朗读文章开考以后屏幕上出现了朗读文章，此时考生不要急于先读出声音来，而是应该充分利用所给\n的一分钟准备吋间，大致地默读文章，理解文章的主旨，领悟其语意。在朗读的过程屮耍注意三点：-•是声音不要过大或过小，尽量用最完美的语音和语调來读；二是掌握好节奏，不乱停顿，不读破句，语句连贯、白然、流畅；三是注意各类词形变化的发音，如名词复数、动词形式、过去分词的词尾变化等。第二部分快速应答考生在这个环节的应试时，特别要注意听清每一个问题以及其屮的关键词。如问你“今天是儿号？”你就不能回答“今天是星期儿”。在听到给出的问题时，应首先弄明白这个句空究竟是陈述句还是祈使句，是一般疑问句还是特殊疑问句，然后作有针对性的回答。考牛在应答时不要过分紧张，并要注意语境屮的时态运用，学会机智答题。有些应答可不必作过于详细和完整的陈述，这样既可节省时间，也可避免“言多必失”，如问你“Canyoutellmehowtogettothezoo?”，你在想不出更好答案的悄况下，回答"Sorry,1amastrangerhere**也不失为“妙计”。第三部分情景设计既然是要求根据“情景”H己设计问题，那么考生就得先弄清楚“情景”屮必不可少的规定要素，如吋间、地点、人物、事件、原因等。按历年的考试要求，考生所提出的两个问题，一个应是一•般疑问句，另一个是特殊疑问句。如果考生两个问题都用的是一般疑问句或都是特殊疑问句，那就只能给一半的分数。而且,如果考生所提的两个问题的答案是一致的,“Howmuchisthecoat?'和“Whatisthepriceofthecoat?'即为同一个答案的两个问题，这样也同样只能给一半的分数。笫四部分口头作文因为是小作文，所以就要求在说的时候耍有开头、结尾和事情的发展过程。按耍求，考生至少要说六句话。因此，考生一定要利用屏幕上所提供的材料，在准备的时间内把表述的语言和内容很好地结合起來，不要出现只说了两三句话就无法继续下去的状况。如话题“WhatdoyouthinkofthedevelopmentoftransportationinShanghai?1,在叙述时,考生既要表明观点，更要阐述事实，还要加以总结，同吋在表达的过程中要注意语句间的逻辑性，如果能灵活地将所学过的经典句式应用其中，这就会出彩许多。第五部分看图说话对一个高中毕业生來说，对一组图片的内容用120到150字左右的篇幅进行描述，并不能算是很高的耍求，因此考生应当至少说上七句话。答好这道题应注意的细节，一•是要在规定的吋间内看清图片，二是在叙述中一定要依据图片本身的内容來描述，三是要注意故事发牛和发展的连贯性，四是要注意时态的统一。另外,图片上已写有开头的第一句话，考生切莫忘记应以此旬话作开头。有些考生会对前几幅图作详尽描述，以致没时间完成后血图片的叔述，或者卡在了某一幅图上某一个事物的单词上而绞尽脑汁，这往往会顾此失彼，得不偿失。\nrdliketoinviteyoutodinnerthisSunday,Mr.Brown?rmsorry,butI'veotherplan.HmsorryLvebrokenyourglass・Notatall.Thafsanoldone.Isthereanythingelseyouwanttobuy?No,Ihavegoteverything.4.Ifsveryimportantforeveryoneintheworldtosavewater.……-Iagreewithyou.5.-Shallwemeetattentosix?Thatwouldbenice.6.Windy,isn'tit?Yes,itis.7.Excuseme,mayItakethisseat?Sorry,theseatistaken.
