中考英语写作指导
目前中考英语作文是一种“半开放性的命题作文”,概括起来,它含有四个方面的要求:内容、语言和形式及自己的观点。内容是按照题目的要求和指令去写,不得遗漏任何一个要求;不能随意发挥去写一些与主题无关的话。语言的要求是正确、恰当、清楚、连贯,要有至少两个复杂句。在形式上首先要体裁格式正确,单词的大小写正确、标点符号正确以及词数在100个词左右。自己的观点要符合题目要求,要与考生学习和生活实际相符。
中考英语作文是考查学生综合运用英语能力的一种重要形式,中考英语作文在中考英语试卷中占据15分,在中考英语中起着举足轻重的作用。作文质量的好与差,得分悬殊很大,将对考生中考总成绩带来很大影响。
◆ 写作2步思路、再加3步骤
【思路】:
审好题
仔细审查所给的内容提示(包括文字和图表等),明确要求写的内容,确定文章的体裁、人称、时态等,理顺思路,确定主旨。
看要点,写片段
对于易于表达的内容,一次成句;对于一时难于表达的内容,写出词组。此时,既注意不遗漏内容要点,也不要随意添加任何内容。
【步骤】:
定句型,连词成句
这个环节是成文的关键,一定要注意做到:
(1)选用比较有把握的词汇,用恰当的句型写出确切反映内容要求的句子。在熟悉的基础上,鼓励多用高级词汇和结构复杂的复杂句。如表达“为了……”时,可用in order to do 或 so as to do.也可用so that引导目的状语从句。
(2)写出的句子要达意,完整,语法正确,合乎习惯,特别是句式、谓语动词形式要有根有据。
(3)表达限定的内容有困难时,就要想到“All roads lead to Rome.”(条条大路通罗马)这句话,用变通的方法,以达到“曲径通幽”。如要译“他表哥外强中干”这样一句话,表达起来似乎很难,但我们完全可以通过学过的东西将这句话明白贴切地表达出来:His cousin looks strong but in fact, he is rather weak.
(4)尽量避免使用汉语式的英语。例如要表达“她睡得很迟”,不可写成:She slept very late.应该写成:She went to bed very late.因为“sleep late”表示“睡懒觉”。又如要表达“他一点都不担心他的英语”,不可写成:He is not a little worried about his English.实际上意思完全相反,表达成“他非常担心他的英语”了。应该是:He is not a bit worried about his English. 或:He is not worried about his English at all.
连词成句,添减相宜
单句写出后,根据短文的内容要求,确定先写什么,后写什么,按照表述内容的情节发展和实际需要,重新排列组合已写成的句子,划分必要的段落,一般分成三段。
即:文章的开头(Introduction)、文章的主体(Main body)和文章的结尾(Conclusion).这样写成文章的初稿。在连词成句的过程中,还要注意以下几点:
(1)句子或段落间的连接不仅仅是个语言问题,也是个逻辑思维方面的问题,这两者是不能分开的。能注意到这一点,你的文章就能达到条理清楚、层次分明的境界。
(2)为了使句子或段落语义连贯,表达合理准确,可以适当加入一些连接词语。如表达转折可用but, however, otherwise等,表达递进可用and, also, besides, What’s more等,表达因果so, therefore, as a result等,表达对比可用at the same time, mean while,while等,表达让步可用though, although, even if等。有时还需要加入一些必要的过渡句子以达到承上启下的效果。
(3)仔细推敲在文章的哪些地方可用复杂句。切忌生搬硬套,给人一种为了用复杂句而用复杂句的感觉。要用得自然、得体。要顺应行文的需要,与整个文章浑然一体。
尽量使用我们熟悉的宾语从句、状语从句和定语从句。
检查,修改,定稿,誊写
检查修改是进一步减少疏漏提高质量的最后程序,这时要对照题目要求,认真检查以下几点:
(1)内容有无遗漏或误词,最好一一对应检查。
(2)体裁格式对不对。
(3)句子是否有语法结构错误,特别要检查句子中的冠词、代词、名词复数、动词的时态、语态、主谓一致等方面是否有错误。
(4)句子是否合乎英语表达习惯,是否达意。
(5)书写字迹和标点符号是否规范清晰,词数是否基本上符合要求。经过认真修改润色的短文,即可认真工整地誊写在指定的卷面上。抄好后再速读一遍,力求完美。
◆ 经典题例
原题介绍
目前,扬州正在创建(create)全国文明城市(National Civilization City)。作为一个中学生,我们在学校、在家里、在公共场合等等应该做到哪些才能称得上是一个文明的(civilized)人呢?我们又如何为这个活动作贡献(make contribution to)呢?请你就此写一篇100字左右的短文。
Nowadays,___________________________
解题步骤
第一步:认真审题,明确写作体裁、提示要点、文章的时态、人称和词数。
分析:
这篇作文的体裁是倡议书。文章主要有5大提示要点,考生可以用笔将这些要点圈出来。1.扬州正在创建全国文明城市。2.作为一个中学生在学校怎么做才能称得上是一个文明的人?3.作为一个中学生在家怎么做?4.作为一个中学生在公共场所怎么做?5.我们又如何为这个活动作贡献呢?
这篇文章时态以一般现在时为主。人称用第一人称。词数100个左右。
第二步:分析提示要点,用简明的英语写出要点。
分析:五大提示要点只有第一要点是限定的,考生可以直接翻译。其余四大要点都是半限定的、半开放性的。考生需要根据文章主题的需要联系实际生活进行适当发挥。不同的考生会有不同的答案。这部分既是写作的重点也是难点。考生可用简明的英语写出要点。如:At school: keep the classroom clean and tidy. At home: help parents do some housework. In public places: obey the traffic rules don’t make too much noise. make a contribution to this event: give out leaf let’s to make people understand the importance of this activity.
第三步:列出写作提纲,并将要点扩展成句。
开头(Introduction):Yang zhou is creating a National Civilization City. As middle school students, we should try our best to become civilized persons.
正文(Main body):
At school, we should keep our classroom clean and tidy every day. We shouldn’t throw about rubbish.
At home, we should help our parents do some housework.
In public places, we shouldn’t make much noise in public places. We mustn’t cross the road until the traffic lights turn green.
We can make a contribution to this event by giving out leaflets to the citizens to make them understand the importance of this event and take part in it.
结尾 (conclusion):I am sure Yangzhou will become a National Civilization City soon.
第四步:组句成文。
分析:根据文章内容和要求,可以适当调整以上句子的先后顺序。为了使文章连贯自然,表达准确,适当加一些表达并列、递进、因果、转折等关系的连词,然后组成文章,这时如果发现文章词数不够,可把短语变成句子,也可增添一些与表达内容有关的短语或句子。如:表达“在家”,不用“at home”.而用“When we are at home.”如果发现文章词数超过要求,可以将句子变成短语或两句并一句。
第五步:计划时间,认真检查、修改。
分析:
中考英语作文一般要求在20分钟内完成。因此,考试时间有限,必须合理安排。成文后必须认真检查修改。特别注意以下几点:
1.内容是否符合要求,要点有无遗漏或误解。
2.句子是否符合英语习惯,句型是否正确。
3.是否有语法错误。特别是冠词、名词的复数、代词、主谓一致、时态、语态等方面。
4.是否有拼写错误。
5.书写是否有不清楚或不易辨认之处。
6.大小写和标点符号是否使用得当。
7.词数是否符合要求。
第六步:认真誊写。
分析:
注意书写清楚、规范,卷面整洁。中考20分作文,有两分卷面整洁分。
下面是修改过的作文:
Yangzhou is creating a National Civilization City. As middle school students, we should try our best to become civilized persons.
First, when we are at school, we should keep our classroom clean and tidy. And we shouldn’t throw about rubbish. Second, we should help our parents do some housework at home. Third, we shouldn’t make much noise in public places. Besides, we mustn’t cross the road until the traffic lights turn green. What’s more, we can give out leaflets to the citizens in order to make them understand the importance of this event and take part in it.
If everyone makes a contribution to this event, Yangzhou will become a National Civilization City soon.
中考英语完形填空指导
完形填空是一种测试考生综合运用英语语言知识能力的一种题型,它集阅读理解能力与语言应用能力考查于一体,考查考生在阅读理解基础上,在一定语言情景下灵活运用词汇的能力。它首先要求考生具备较强的阅读能力,具备能根据短文所给线索,捕捉相关信息,进行分析判断、逻辑推理的能力,它还要求考生能熟练运用所学词汇、语法、习惯用语及交际用语等语言知识进行填词,考查了使用语言的准确性。由于完形填空属于有障碍性的阅读,考生对阅读这些含有空缺单词的短文没有把握、困难较大,所以往往望题生畏。因而完形填空历来是中考中考生失分率较高的题型。只有通过平时多读多练,不断拓宽知识面,进一步了解英美风土人情等有关文化背景知识,熟练掌握英语习惯用语的表达等,才能为正确完成完形填空试题提供前提保障。
◆ 完形填空试题的一般解题思路:
1.跳过空格、通读短文、了解大意。解题时先跳过空格,通读完形填空的短文,了解全篇的内容和要旨。要重视首句,善于以首句的时态、语气为立足点,理清文脉,推测全文主题及大意。
2.复读短文、确定语义、判断词形。把握短文大意后再认真复读短文,利用上下文的语境,结合所学过的知识,先确定空格处所需词语的意义,再根据空格在句子中的位置,判断其在句中充当的成分,从而确定所填词的词性,再依据词语搭配和语法规则,判断所填的词的正确形式。
3.三读短文、上下参照、验证答案。在短文的每一空白处填上一个词后,将完成的短文再细读一遍,上下参照,连贯思考。把所填的答案放入短文中进行检验,可从上、下文内容是否协调一致、顺理成章,语法结构是否正确无误等进行综合验证,凡有疑问必须重新推敲考虑。
◆ 做完形填空题先从以下三方面入手:
1.首先要以很快的速度浏览全文,掌握文章的主旨,不要急于看选项。浏览全文时要重点了解文中所叙述的人物、时间、地点、事件,即who,when,where,what。完形填空命题的原则一般是第一句话不挖空,目的是使读者进入语境,因此一定要认真阅读这句话。例如:
Why is a space left between the rails of a railway line where one piece joins the next?
这句话从铁轨之间的缝隙引出了问题。根据常识,文中内容应与热涨冷缩的物理现象有关。
2.根据故事情节的发展选词,确定所填的词与文中哪个词有关系以及动作是在什么场合发生的。
3.试填之后将所选定的词放到文章中复读检查。
(“字面译、通逻辑、搞代入、全文译”)
◆ 具体操作中应注意的问题
1.看清上下文,找准定位词
充分利用文章的上下文和前后句,找到对选择有提示作用的词或句。这些词有时可能是同义词或反义词。例如:
1) Some parts of the water are very shallow. But in some places it is very_____.
A. deep B. high C. cold D. dangerous
根据转折连词but的提示,所填入的词应与shallow相反,因此答案为A。
2) Mrs O’Neill asked_____questions and she didn’t scold us either.
A. no B. certain C. many D. more
and是一个并列连词;either为副词,用在否定句或否定词后加强语势,由此可以确定所填的词也应是一个否定意义的词,因此答案是A。
2.通顺逻辑,寻求搭配
注意固定的搭配,包括动词与介词的搭配、动词与名词的搭配以及形容词与名词的搭配等,同时要根据内容选择正确的短语。例如:
Here’s a fellow who just walked into a bank and helped himself_____so much money.
A. for B. by C. to D. of
表示“自取,随便拿”这个意义的短语是help oneself to…?故答案为C。
3.扎实基础,搞清辨异
Soon I heard a_____like that of a door burst in and then a climb of feet.
A. sound B. cry C. voice D. shout
选项中的四个词都表示不同的声音,但B,C,D项的三个词都是指从嗓子里发出的声音,而sound则表示各种各样的声音。因此答案是A。
4.看清执行者,确定所选词
And video cameras can be used to_____people’s actions at home.
A. keep B. make C. record D. watch
句中动作的发出者是video cameras?因此答案是C,意思是“记录”。
5.寻求上下逻辑,从容确定关系
It has been many years since I was last in London?_____I still remember something that happened during that visit.
A. and B. for C. but D. as
根据句前的many years和句后的still remember答案应选表示转折的连词but.
6.了解生活常识,确定相关知识
(Immediately?)the officers jumped into their cars and rushed to the_____hospital.
A. animal B. biggest C. plant D. nearest
在这样的紧急情况下,人们的第一个反应是到最近的医院就医,因此答案为D。
1.语义完整、适用是做好填词的前提,要从全文的内容出发,前后上下联系起来考虑,避免只见树木不见森林的错误。
2.要善于从文中同样结构或类似结构中寻找线索,从中得到提示和启发,帮助确定应填词的词性和词形,这样可避免想当然地随意乱填。
3.填词时应注意词形,不可简单地都填原形词。若空格内填的是名词,要考虑其单复数形式;若填的是形容词或副词,则要考虑其是否属于比较等级;如若填的是动词,则要特别注意考虑其时态和语态。如在句首,还要考虑其首字母的大写。
4.有些空格需要填入介词、连词等结构词,除考虑上下文的内容外,还要考虑和其他词的固定搭配及其惯用法结构。
5.选词填空题和限词填空题一般只有一个答案,自由填空题虽然可能允许有多个正确答案,但只能选择其中一种填入,因为完形填空题每个空格只准填写一个单词,多填反而出错。
中考英语阅读理解指导
阅读理解是英语考试必考题型,主要用于检验学生英语的综合水平和解题能力的高低。每年中考英语试卷中有4篇阅读理解文章,内容包括社会热点新闻、科普史地、应用说明、生活故事、名人轶事等。试题形式为选择题或根据短文内容书面回答问题。
那么,到底如何在复习中提高阅读效率,并正确解题呢?
1、巩固、扩大并活用词汇(包括词组、短语和构词法),夯实语法知识。
随着社会要求和教学要求的提高,生词和结构较为复杂的长句、难句在短文中和题目中经常出现、没有过关的语言知识,学生很难领会文章,审清题意。因此,扎实的基础知识、善于处理词汇、牢固掌握教学考纲中要求的各个语法项目、通过分析句子结构辨别意群及正确理解结构复杂的长句均是做好阅读理解的要素。
2、弄清原文、题干、正确答案项和干扰项之间的关系,切实提高实际解决问题的能力。
正确处理原文、题干、正确答案项和干扰项之间的关系,能使自己的思路和文章作者思路相一致,才能较容易地把握文章的主旨大意、结构脉络、作者的语气态度,人物的性格特征、事情的来龙去脉,使顺利解题水到渠成。
3、注意积累生活素材及英语国家的文化背景、人情风俗、生活方式知识。
当前的阅读理解选材越来越注重现代化、多样化、知识化和生活化,内容贴近生活,蕴涵着丰富的世界各国文化背景知识,具有强烈的时代感和交际性,常常从不同侧面反映了现前人们的思想意识、生活情趣和对人、对自然的态度及与世界的交流,就体裁而言,也涉及到记叙文、应用文、说明文等多种文体。只有通过大量阅读不同题材和体裁的短文,才能不断增强快速捕捉、掌握信息的准确度,也能提高面对较长篇幅阅读材料的心理承受能力。
4、重视培养正确的阅读习惯,加强锻炼跳读、略读、扫读等阅读技巧。
比较好的阅读理解方法是:初读文章——看题目——查读文章找依据——初定答案——三看文章找细节——推敲答案——四读文章——终定答案,其中综合了略读、跳读和查读等阅读技巧。在第一遍阅读时,可用略读或跳读的方式阅读全文,不必注意细节或具体事实,只求对文章有一个总体印象,了解中心思想和作者的基本观点,记住文中的信息方位。
接着,浏览题目再读文章,可以带着题目有的放矢地在文中圈圈划划、做标记,查找解答题目的依据,避免毫无目的地通读文章,许多局部性题目都可以通过原文中的一两句话直接找到答案。第三、第四次阅读主要是定度答案。
5、若是做问答题时,先须把握全文整体意思,弄清文中的人物、发生的事件、时间、地点、原因、前后逻辑关系及过程,然后再落笔定答案,有些文章的最后一题是开放性题目,只要言之有理,都能得分。此外,在书写答案时,还要注意题目要求的限制(如:最多不超过5个词),也须正确书写单词的大小写、名词的单复数、动词的人称、时态、语态等。
中考英语动词填空题指导
“动词填空”是中考英语测试中的一种传统题型,主要用来测试考生对动词和非谓语动词形式的掌握情况。这里的“动词填空”不仅仅指谓语动词的正确时态,还包括动词不定式、动词-ing和分词等形式,而且还涉及到主动语态和被动语态及主谓一致等知识。因此,掌握好动词的各种形式及其用法是做此类题的关键。那么,怎样才能做好此类题呢?我们可以从以下几方面着手:
◆ 一、确定正确的时态
时态是动词填空的重点,在解题时必须慎重。确定时态可根据情况从以下几个方面来进行。
1.根据句中的时间状语来确定时态。
2.注意时态呼应。
在主从复合句中,主句谓语与从句谓语动词的时态是相互照应的。
1)在含宾语从句的主从复合句中,如果主句是一般过去时,从句要用过去的相应时态;如果主句谓语动词是一般现在时,从句的谓语动词可根据实际情况而使用某一种时态;如果从句说的是客观事实或真理,谓语动词总是用一般现在时。如:
a)Do you know where he ________(live)now?
b)The teacher told us the sun ________(rise)in the east.
c)She wanted to know if her mother ________(like)the present.
〖 Keys:a)lives b)rises c)liked 〗
2)状语从句的时态比较复杂,我们应注意以下几点:①主从句的时态要一致;②主句是一般将来时或祈使句,条件状语从句或时间状语从句要用一般现在时表示将来;③表示一个动作发生时,另一个动作正在进行,这时从句用过去进行时,主句用一般过去时。如:
a)We will go to the Great Wall if it ________(not rain)tomorrow.
b)Could you ring me up as soon as he ________(arrive)?
c)I ________(meet)an old friend of mine when I ________(walk)in the street yesterday afternoon.
〖 Keys:a)doesn't rain b)arrives c)met,was walking 〗
3.根据上下文确定时态。
有时句子没有明显的时间状语,也不能用时态呼应规则来对照,这时就可以根据上下文内容来判断时间关系,确定时态。如:
a)Be quiet!He ________(listen)to the radio.
b)—Where are the twins?— They ________(read)an English book.
c)While Mary ________(play)in the garden,her brother ________(write)in the room.
d)—I have bought a new dictionary.—When ________ you ________(buy)it?
〖 Keys:a)is listening b)are reading c)was playing,was writing d)did,buy 〗
◆ 二、确定语态
我们在考虑时态的同时,也要考虑语态。当句子的主语是谓语动词动作的承受者时,用被动语态;反之用主动语态。如:
a)Yesterday I ________(tell)that we would have a picnic in the park.
b)Now surfing ________(enjoy)by people all over the world.
〖 Keys:a)was told b)is enjoyed 〗
注意:不及物动词或相当于不及物动词的短语动词(如listen,sleep,happen,get up,grow up,break out,come in等)没有被动语态。如:
The ship has disappeared.
The war broke out many years ago.
但是,当“不及物动词+介(副)词”构成的短语动词其作用相当于及物动词时,则有被动语态。
The children are looked after well.
◆ 三、确定非谓语动词的形式
如果所给的动词在句子中不作谓语,就应该考虑用动词的非谓语动词形式。究竟选用哪种非谓语动词形式,可根据情况从以下几方面来考虑。(详见第28期)
1.在及物动词want,hope,wish,decide,would like等动词后用不定式作宾语。
2.It is time (for sb) to do sth,something to eat/drink,have nothing to do等句型中要用动词不定式。
3.在enjoy,finish,mind,be busy,be worth,feel like,what/how about,can't help,practice,have fun/problems等后要用动词-ing形式。
尽管有些同学时间概念记住了,谓语动词的时态和语态也确定了,但在答题时仍会出错。所以我们还应注意: 1.要弄清动词的第三人称单数、过去式及过去分词等形式。
2.要注意谓语动词要与主语在人称和数上保持一致。
3.祈使句中,或在情态动词、助动词后,谓语动词要用原形。
中考英语听力指导
1. 考生拿到试卷之后,一定要利用放录音前的几分钟空余时间,将试卷上的选项全部读一遍,一方面要尽可能记住其有关信息,另一方面要根据所给选项判断问题类型或谈话中心。
2. 在具体听录音的过程中要集中思想,若遇到听不懂的词句,不要因此而停下来,也不要长时间地停留在难题上思考,因为你停下来了但录音并没有停下来,这样做会因小失大。正确的做法是:随录音继续往下听,直到最后。
3. 若录音放两遍或三遍,要全力听懂第一遍,同时一边听一边初选答案,第二遍或第三遍主要用来检查自己所选的答案是否正确。
4. 在听的过程中,要注意听清录音中的时间、地点、人物、数字、原因等信息,因为这些往往可能就是考点。
5. 一方面要注意充分理解录音的整体内容,另一方面要特别注意各题的最后一句话,因为这往往就是该题的问题所在。而在这最后的一句话中又要特别注意它的第一个词,即疑问词,因为要选的选项就是要回答这个疑问词。
做听力题除注意以上几点外,其具体方法有:
1. 比较法:即根据听到的有关内容或信息对各个选项进行比较和鉴别,找出所给选项之间的用法和意义上的不同之处,从而找出正确的选项。
2. 排除法:即对听到的内容将它们在头脑中进行分析和比较,弄清意思后,采取逐个去掉与听到的内容不相符的选项,这叫排除法。这是做听力选择题的重要方法之一。
3. 理解记忆法:即对所听到的内容,针对有意义的材料或事物,运用已掌握的知识和平时所具备的经验,经过分析理解,联系并进行记忆,经过判断做出正确的选择。
4. 归纳积累法:这种方法主要是平时要多记一些习惯表达法和固定用法,把所学的交际用语进行归纳,加强记忆,从而在做听力题时,能迅速做出判断。
中考英语听力题解题三大技巧
NO.1 争取时间 提前审题
领到试卷后应迅速浏览听力部分,尽快根据题干和选项预测可能出现的录音内容,努力寻求四个选项之间的差别,提高捕捉信息的准确度。
如:听对话,选择正确答案:A. She is a cleaner. B. She’s a teacher C. She’s a worker.从选项中可预测该问题肯定是问职业的,那么在听录音时,我们就应该留意其对话场合和身份。
NO.2 沉着答题
遇难不慌
听力测试的时间是预先设定的,通常为12分钟左右。因此,要培养抢记内容的能力,如人名、地名、时间、数字等。特别是对那些一时拿不准、写不出的词要学会用音标或缩写词作快速记录,以便在录音结束后为自己创造追忆的条件。另外,如果在做题过程中遇到确实听不懂的,要舍得果断放弃,集中精力,作好后面的题,切不可揪住一点不放,因小失大。
NO.3 仔细检查 理顺关系
听力结束后,不要急于做笔试题。要利用头脑中还保留的短暂记忆和记录的内容,对那些不太肯定的答案进行推敲并合理想象。相对而言,听力第二部分内容难度降低,比较容易得分,做短文理解题时应注意如下几点:
一、听短文录音时要重在意会,不能搞逐字对译。要特别注意捕捉一篇短文开头的第一句或最后一句话,因为它们往往是该文中心思想所在的主题句。
二、短文后所给的试题一般是紧扣考生所听到的内容按先后顺序编排的,因此可以根据所听有关内容的先后顺序来逐一考虑各题,以免理不清头绪,解答问题时张冠李戴。
三、所给出的选项,选择标准往往是看其是否与所听内容吻合。如果仅根据有关语法结构上的基础知识就可判定选择答案的话,该试题就达不到考查听力理解的目的。
四、听力结束后有些地方仍然没听清,在答题过程中切忌胡乱猜测,要依据自己已听到的部分内容和已掌握的知识和常识,通过分析、推理等找到最接近的答案。
五、短文一般在听两遍的情况下,难以将所有内容全部记忆下来。因此听力前充分利用间隙时间,浏览试题有关书面材料,预测内容。在听力过程中要特别留意并记住有关的信息,提高答题的正确率。
