复习是一个梳理知识,查漏补缺,形成知识系统的过程。通过复习,我们可以理清所学的知识和技能,使知识和技能便于记忆和运用,使能力进一步提升。中考英语总复习是综合性的、系统性的复习,如果能抓住关键和要点,明确目标和内容,并运用科学的方法,就能在原有成绩的基础上再提高一步,使知识水平和能力水平再登上一个新台阶。
研究表明,条理化有助于学习和记忆,有助于复习。为了便于同学们复习,这里总结了“系统分析,专项梳理,抓住要点,运用练习”十六字复习法。即以初中阶段所学英语知识和技能为综合内容,以听力技能、口语技能、阅读技能、写作技能以及语言知识综合运用五个版块为专项版块,进行纵向和横向的分析和梳理。为了清晰明了起见,分析和梳理结合中考英语学科的特点,结合2012年中考英语试题,以例为证,透析中考英语考试说明、命题特点,分析学生答题情况,启发自主应对措施,从而有针对性地进行方法指导。在此基础上,精选试题,进行专项训练——综合训练,突出运用,增强实践。旨在明确重点,指导方法,强化训练,方便复习,提高能力。
一、考试内容与复习关键
对初中英语考试,《义务教育英语课程标准》要求检测学生综合语言运用能力的发展程度,包括语言技能、语言知识、情感态度、学习策略和文化意识等五个方面。听力部分着重考查学生理解和获取信息的能力,避免单纯辨音等脱离语境的题型。阅读和写作部分主要考查学生理解真实语言材料和表达真实思想的能力。对语言知识的考查则着重考查学生的知识运用能力,而不是孤立地考查知识点或对知识的机械记忆。
据此可知,中考英语学科的考试主要侧重考查学生的语言技能、语言知识、跨文化交际意识和跨文化交际能力。具体考查学生英语听、说、读、写等语言技能及灵活运用语言知识的能力。因此,总复习的关键在于对初中阶段所学英语内容进行系统分析和梳理,使其网络化、系统化,在实践和运用过程中变知识为能力。应该明确,复习是学生在脑海里建立起知识的联系,达到融会贯通,从而夯实已学知识,形成和发展运用能力的过程,而不是对所学知识的简单重复与累加的过程。
二、目标要求与命题特点
河北中考英语试题依据全日制义务教育《英语课程标准》和《河北省2013年初中毕业生升学英语学科考试说明》,不依赖、偏向于某一版本的教材,不出偏、难、怪题,不出死记硬背、机械训练的题目;渗透以培养学生的创新精神和实践能力为核心的教育新理念,重视综合英语语言运用能力的考查,以推动英语学科教学方式和学习方式的改革;充分发挥考试的正导向功能,以学生为本,注意考试问题的探究性与综合性,坚持其教育性与时代性,引导学生关注社会、关注人类;试题充分体现“知识与技能、过程与方法、情感态度与价值观”三维目标,体现“稳中求新,稳中求变,稳中求发展”的命题特点。2012年试题难度比例3:5:2(容易题30%,中等难度题50%,难度较大题20%),整套试卷难度系数为0.65。试卷由卷I和卷II组成。卷I为客观性试题(选择题),包括听力第一节和笔试;卷II为非选择题,包括听力第二节。卷I在机读卡上作答,卷II在试卷上作答。考试采用闭卷笔试形式,总分为120分(听力测试部分30分,笔试部分90分),考试时间为120分钟(包括听力测试部分25分钟)。这些,预测今年不会有大的改变。
那么,复习首先要明确目标,有了目标才会做到“有的放矢”。我们在复习时要遵循《义务教育英语课程标准》与《初中毕业生升学文化课考试说明》的技能目标和要求。具体到听力技能、口语技能、阅读技能、写作技能和语言知识综合运用五个方面,目标要求分别是:
(一)听力技能
听力技能指学生对口头语言材料的理解能力和从口头语言材料获取信息的能力。具体要求:
1.能根据语调和重音理解说话者的意图;
2.能听懂有关熟悉话题的谈话,并能从中提取信息和观点;
3.能借助语境克服生词障碍,理解大意;
4.能听懂接近自然语速的故事和记叙文,理解故事的因果关系;
5.能在听的过程中用适当方式做出反应;
6.能针对所听语段的内容记录简单信息;
7.能听懂广播、电视、录音、录像中与本学段水平相当的英语有声语言材料。
(二)口语技能
1.能就简单的话题提供信息,表达简单的观点和意见,参与讨论;
2.能与他人沟通信息,合作完成任务;
3.能在口头表达中进行适当的自我修正;
4.能有效地询问信息和请求帮助;
5.能根据话题进行情景对话;
6.能用英语表演短剧;
7.能在以上口语活动中做到语音、语调自然,语气恰当。
(三)阅读技能
阅读技能是英语学科考试主要考查的内容之一,着重考查学生理解各种题材和体裁书面材料的能力,以及从各种材料中获取信息的能力。具体要求:
1.能根据上下文和构词法推断、理解生词的含义;
2.能理解段落中各句子之间的逻辑关系;
3.能找出文章中的主题,理解故事的情节,预测故事情节的发展和可能的结局; 4.能读懂相应水平的常见体裁的阅读材料;

1.能根据写作要求,收集、准备素材;
2.能独立起草短文、短信等,并在教师的指导下进行修改;
3.能使用常见的连接词表示顺序和逻辑关系;
4.能简单描述人物或事件;
5.能根据所给图示或表格写出简单的段落或操作说明。
(五)语言知识综合运用
语言知识的综合运用指学生在有意义的具体语境中运用语音、词汇、语法、语用等语言知识的能力。考试着重考查学生综合语言运用能力,不单纯考查知识点和机械记忆。
三、复习要点、方法指导和专项训练
(一)口语技能
口语技能是指学生英语口头表达的能力,指在具体语言环境中沟通信息、描述事物与情感、发表观点和意见的能力。 受现实条件的制约,大面积进行英语口试不太现实,目前我省中考英语学科考试主要通过听力考查来间接考查学生的口语能力。尤其是听力部分的“听句子,选出该句的最佳答语”试题,是以人机对话的形式考查口语能力的。学生听到来自播放器的声音,犹如是听到来自对面的人的声音一样,需要根据不同的情境、语气、身份等做出合理的应答。以2012年河北省中考英语试题为例:
Ⅱ. 听句子,选出该句的最佳答语。
6. A. You’re right.
B. I hope so. C. It’s not too hard.
7. A. Well done.
B. Never mind. C. No way.
8. A. Who’s speaking?
B. I’ll call her later. C. The line is busy.
9. A. It’s Tuesday.
B. It’s December 25th. C. It’s a fine day.
10.A. Be careful.
B. I don’t think so. C. Nothing serious.
录音材料:
No.6. Don’t worry about the match. You’ll do a good job.
No.7. Dad, can I drive the car to the party?
No.8. I’m sorry, but she’s out to dinner right now.
No.9. What day of the week is Christmas this year?
No.10. Doctor, I’ve got a pain here.
答案: 6. B 7. C 8. B 9. A 10. C
不难看出,以上我们就像面对家长、老师、同学、医生等进行应答。做此题时,学生普遍的问题是不能针对上句,做出正确的反应。出现此问题的根本原因不是听不清上句而无法应答,而是(1)对功能意念项目不熟悉,不知道该语言的使用场所,不知如何应答对方;(2)是受汉语的干扰,不分情境,不懂英汉文化差异,做出汉语式的答语。(3)缺乏语言实践。平时很少使用英语,面对毫无准备的情境,头脑一片空白。如有的同学用All right给Thank you very much作答;有的用Good luck给I’ve passed the exam作答;有的用Not at all给You did very well作答等,造成错误。
【方法指导】
为了避免上述错误,复习时,可以分两个步骤:
1.研读《初中毕业生升学文化课考试说明》中“功能意念项目表”,如:社会交往、态度、情感等,弄清如何表示感谢、请求许可、提供帮助、祝贺与祝愿等,牢记如何做出正确的应答,如:“感谢(Thank you very much/Thanks a lot/Thank you for your help.)”的应答语“It’s a pleasure/That’s OK/That’s all right/You’re welcome.”,并在日常生活中多用英语进行交际。例如:2012年河北中考试题的第6题,是《河北省升学文化课考试说明》中的“希望和愿望(Hope and wish)”的内容:I hope to…答语为I hope so/I hope not;第7题为《学科考试说明》中的“请求允许及同意和不同意”的内容;第8题为“打电话”项目;第9题为“时间”项目。第10题为“就医”项目内容。总之,此题考点均出自《河北省升学文化课考试说明》,同学们一定要认真研读。
2.强化训练,把多套此类试题的录音材料及答语放在一起,从做笔试入手,分析具体的语言环境及英汉应答方式的不同。在强化练习中,熟悉、巩固并提高正确的应答能力。例如我们可以把《教育实践与研究》编辑部的《中考英语听力模拟试题》及其增刊试题的材料整合为专项训练作为强化训练的材料,帮助考前复习。

答案:1. C 2. B 3.C 4.A 5.A 6.B 7.C 8.B 9.A 10.C
(二)听力技能
听力技能是指学生对口头语言材料的理解能力和从口头语言材料中获取信息的能力。中考英语听力试题,一般从听句子入手,从小对话到长对话及长语篇,听力材料逐渐加长,信息量逐渐增大,主要考查学生的听力理解能力和获取信息的能力。
中考英语听力第一题注重考查学生捕捉句子中关键信息的能力,从辨音和分析语义两个方面考查。它要求学生理解、分析所听语言材料,甄别、比对各选项后做出正确选择。如2012年河北省中考英语听力试题:
Ⅰ.听句子,选出句子中所包含的信息。
1. A. desk B. test C. text
2. A. 08:15 B. 07:45 C. 08:45
3. A. a tidy shirt B. a white skirt C. a nice bird
4. A. Tim is a student.
B. Tim is 40 years old.
C. Tim works in a school.
5. A. We must finish the work at 10:00.
B. We can’t finish the work before 10:00.
C. We’ll probably finish the work before 10:00.
听力材料:
No.1. We had a big test yesterday.
No.2. On Sundays, I get up at a quarter past eight.
No.3. I bought a nice bird for my brother’s birthday.
No.4. Tim is 14 and he is in high school.
No.5. It’s possible for us to finish the work before 10 o’clock.
答案:1. B 2. A 3. C 4. A 5. C
【方法指导】
复习此类内容时,要学会把握句子的关键词及同义句的表达方法,通过听写、记录关键词或转述的方法进行考前巩固练习。
对话和语段的部分主要考查学生对所听语言材料的理解及获取关键信息的能力。对话、语段内容以真实生活为基础,涉及生活的方方面面:天气、购物、生活习惯、爱好、邀请、就餐、旅游、就医、住宿、校园生活等等。在进行强化训练时,我们要围绕“观察、预测、验证”六字方针进行。首先仔细观察卷面的图片和文字材料;然后,根据问题和选项预测听力内容;最后,根据自己的预测,带着问题进行验证。我们在复习时,要尽最大可能地设计真实或接近真实的情境,在具体的情境中去体会具体语言的使用。也就是说,我们要为自己充分创设运用所学语言获取、处理和传递信息的机会,尽可能多地用英语表达个人的观点和感受。对于语段和长、短对话的复习,尤其应注意这一点。例:2012年河北省中考听力的第二节:
听短文填空。
Good morning ladies and gentlemen, this is the captain speaking, and I want to welcome you to Flight 18 for New York. Our flight time today is about two hours, and most of the time we will be flying at the height of 29,000 feet. After we reach that height, we will offer you lunch. The weather right now is sunny, but there’s a chance of snow later in the day. We will be arriving at Gate 13, New York Airport.
Please turn off your mobile phones. The plane will take off in a moment. Wish you a pleasant stay in New York City. Now sit back and enjoy your flight.
此语段是有关飞机起飞前机长向乘客介绍本航班旅途具体情况的语段。语言规范、信息丰富,广播式朗读效果迅速把学生带入到了真实的情境中。但是大部分学生对此感到很陌生,有的学生甚至说,“我又没有乘坐过国际航班,怎么能知道机长在说什么呢?”。作为中学生,我们的确不能学习全部的语言、文化知识,但是,如果我们在复习过程中尽可能多地接触、了解、创设接近真实的语言情境,拓展文化视野,利用所学知识处理信息,就不会有此问题的发生。

(三)阅读技能
阅读是指通过读文字材料理解其内容的过程。阅读理解关键在于“理解”二字,只看而不懂就不能称之为阅读。英语作为外语,阅读是我国学生接触英语信息,参加英语实践的重要途径。学生通过大量的阅读活动,吸收语言材料、增加语言知识、积累语言素材、巩固或扩大词汇量、熟悉常见句型等。阅读能力的提高能为听、说、写能力的发展打下良好的基础。学生的语言知识能否得到巩固、语言技能能否得到提高以及英语学习的积极性和兴趣能否得到激发,在很大程度上跟阅读有密切的关系。部分学生受“应试”思想的影响,误认为掌握了语法知识,背过了单词就能取得好成绩。因此,不重视阅读,不进行大量的阅读,即使阅读,也是把文章肢解成零碎的单词、词组、短语及语法。他们总是把生词看成是阅读的拦路虎,把生动有趣、内涵丰富、富有哲理、意义深远的文章看成是字母符号,不懂文章的结构及内容的逻辑关系,不了解文章的整体内容。这样,在平时和考试中很难取得满意的成绩。
阅读能力的重要性在中考试题中也有很好的体现。单纯的阅读理解分值就高达40分,再加上完形填空的10分,可以说阅读理解几乎占了总分的一半。阅读理解测验的目的从考查词句的理解到篇章的理解;从了解事实细节到确定中心思想、进行正确推论、得出合乎逻辑的结论等等。文章的题材和体裁也丰富多样,包括各种记叙文、说明文、议论文等。以2012年河北省中考英语阅读理解试题为例,阅读A篇是以“团队合作精神”为主题的日记体文章;B篇是语言文字丰富、可读性极强的英语国家常见的广告宣传册形式的说明文;C篇是以“培养具有自动阅读习惯的阅读者”为主题的议论文;任务型阅读是一篇主题为“电视发展”的科技文章;完形填空是一篇以“对‘成功’二字的理解”为主题的夹叙夹议体文章。请仔细阅读以下三篇阅读材料(2012河北中考试题):
A. 日记体,以团队合作精神为主题。(56~60题)
Saturday, June16th
In the morning, we went camping along a path in Green Natural Park. We were happy because it was a sunny day. We were expecting an enjoyable two-day holiday. On the way, we kept singing and making jokes.
However, in the afternoon, when we finished our picnic at one o’clock, it was dark and windy. Soon, there was a shower. Unluckily, none of us brought an umbrella. We ran about but we could find no place to hide. Twenty minutes passed and it was still raining. There were hours to go before we reached the campsite (野营地). It was even worse that our small compass (指南针) showed that we went to the wrong way. We had lost our way!
We had to make a quick decision as it was raining heavily. Chris said we could set up a tent to hide in, so Mary and Tom helped to set up the tent. Chris and I tried to make a fire to keep us warm. But we were unable to light the fire, as everything was wet. We dried ourselves, chatted and waited inside the tent. At about five o’clock, it stopped raining. We decided to give up the camping trip because all of us had been very tired.
This camping trip may not be very successful but we know each other better. And the most important thing I’ve learned from this trip is the importance of team spirit.

C. 议论文,主题:培养具有自动阅读习惯的阅读者。(66~70题)
Reading is the key to school success and, like any skill, it takes practice. A child learns to walk by practicing until he no longer has to think about how to put one foot in front of the other. An excellent sportsman practices until he can play quickly, correctly and without thinking. Educators call it “automaticity (自动性)”.
A child learns to read by sounding out the letters and finding the meaning of the words. With practice, he stumbles less and less, reading by the phrase (短语). With automaticity, he doesn’t have to think about the meaning of words, so he can give all his attention to the meaning of the text.
It can begin as early as first grade. In a recent study of children in Illinois schools, Alan Rossman of Northwestern University found that automatic readers in the first grade not only read almost three times as fast as the others, but also got better results in exams.
According to Rossman, the key to automaticity is the amount (数量) of time a child spends reading, not his IQ. Any child who spends at least 3.5 to 4 hours a week reading books, magazines or newspapers will probably reach automaticity. It can happen if a child turns off TV just one night for reading at home.
You can test yourself by reading something new which is suitable(适合) for your level. If you read aloud with expression, with a sense of the meaning of the sentences, you probably are an automatic reader. If you read brokenly, one word at a time, without expression or meaning, you need more practice.
66.“Reading is the key to school success” means that reading ________.
A. helps school develop faster
B. is a key to a successful school
C. helps students go to a key school
D. can improve students’ learning results
67. Children with “automaticity” can read faster because they ________.
A. know how to read the words
B. do not have to think while reading
C. read by themselves without any help
D. pay attention to the meaning of the text 68. Rossman tells that any child who _______ will possibly be an automatic reader.
A. turns off TV one night 4 weeks
B. reads books by the word quickly
C. spends an hour reading every day
D. gets the same grades as others in exams
69. The underlined word “stumble” in the passage means “________” in Chinese.
A. 结结巴巴地读 B. 全神贯注地读
C. 心不在焉地读 D. 声情并茂地读
70. The best title for the passage is “________”.
A. IQ Is the Key to the Automaticity
B. TV Is Bad for Children’s Reading
C. Automaticity Depends on Practice
D. Automatic Readers Will Be Successful
Key: D D C A C
【方法指导】
英语阅读理解能力的提高要讲究方法,方法得当能取得事半功倍的效果。要想真正提高阅读能力,就必须重视课堂阅读教学。只有正确掌握阅读理解的基本步骤,才有可能提高阅读理解的能力。课堂阅读教学要按照读前、读中、读后三个步骤进行。我们要重视课文的题目和插图或照片,重视文章的标题和段落的主题句。在进行阅读专题训练时,重点以阅读理解文章为重点,分析考点的设置及考查的内容。中考阅读理解题一般分为事实判断、细节理解、句意理解、词义猜测、主旨大意和题目归纳。以河北省2012年中考英语试题为例:
第60题:The writer has learned the importance of _______ from the trip.
A. making a decision B. working together
C. enjoying holidays D. taking a compass
本题是主旨分析题,考查学生对文章的整体理解情况和查找、整合信息的能力。A、C、D选项从生活常识和语意上判断都合情合理,但不是文章的主旨,正确选项working together从文中关键词team spirit转化而来,要求学生能够分析、综合有效信息,同时要学会从尾段提炼文章主旨。如:
第65题:For more information about the centre, you’d better ________.
A. call at 2792 2234 B. ask other visitors
C. study the facilities D. provide the website
错误选项C、D均属于信息重组、张冠李戴型干扰项,强干扰项B告诫学生不能超越文本,主观臆断。正确选项来源于文中结尾处的直接信息—电话号码。
第66题:“Reading is the key to school success” means that reading ________.
A. helps school develop faster
B. is a key to a successful school
C. helps students go to a key school
D. can improve students’ learning results
该题干是本篇首句,所有选项围绕本句关键词“key”“school success”设计。要求学生重视文章首句和全文内涵的关系,通读全篇后再分析题意,不能只根据字面意思简单判断。干扰选项“school develop”“successful school”“key school”都不是本文所谈重点,正确选项“improve students’ learning results”,从学生学习角度诠释reading的意义,“学生的发展”才是本文的表述重点。
第69题 The underlined word “stumble” in the passage means “________” in Chinese.
A. 结结巴巴地读 B. 全神贯注地读
C. 心不在焉地读 D. 声情并茂地读
该题为词义猜测题。被猜测的词,一般在该词的前面有暗示,在该词的后面有解释,这是突破此题的关键。
第70题 The best title for the passage is “________”.
A. IQ Is the Key to the Automaticity
B. TV Is Bad for Children’s Reading
C. Automaticity Depends on Practice
D. Automatic Readers Will Be Successful
该题为题目归纳题。英语文章的题目一般分为两类:一是概括全文内容的题目,另一类是富有深刻哲理的题目,在考试中多数是概括全文的题目。学生在做此类试题时,往往犯“以偏概全”的错误,把某一段或某一部分的内容作为归纳全文题目的依据,这是要极力避免的。

复习是一个梳理知识,查漏补缺,形成知识系统的过程。通过复习,我们可以理清所学的知识和技能,使知识和技能便于记忆和运用,使能力进一步提升。中考英语总复习是综合性的、系统性的复习,如果能抓住关键和要点,明确目标和内容,并运用科学的方法,就能在原有成绩的基础上再提高一步,使知识水平和能力水平再登上一个新台阶。
研究表明,条理化有助于学习和记忆,有助于复习。为了便于同学们复习,这里总结了“系统分析,专项梳理,抓住要点,运用练习”十六字复习法。即以初中阶段所学英语知识和技能为综合内容,以听力技能、口语技能、阅读技能、写作技能以及语言知识综合运用五个版块为专项版块,进行纵向和横向的分析和梳理。为了清晰明了起见,分析和梳理结合中考英语学科的特点,结合2012年中考英语试题,以例为证,透析中考英语考试说明、命题特点,分析学生答题情况,启发自主应对措施,从而有针对性地进行方法指导。在此基础上,精选试题,进行专项训练——综合训练,突出运用,增强实践。旨在明确重点,指导方法,强化训练,方便复习,提高能力。
一、考试内容与复习关键
对初中英语考试,《义务教育英语课程标准》要求检测学生综合语言运用能力的发展程度,包括语言技能、语言知识、情感态度、学习策略和文化意识等五个方面。听力部分着重考查学生理解和获取信息的能力,避免单纯辨音等脱离语境的题型。阅读和写作部分主要考查学生理解真实语言材料和表达真实思想的能力。对语言知识的考查则着重考查学生的知识运用能力,而不是孤立地考查知识点或对知识的机械记忆。
据此可知,中考英语学科的考试主要侧重考查学生的语言技能、语言知识、跨文化交际意识和跨文化交际能力。具体考查学生英语听、说、读、写等语言技能及灵活运用语言知识的能力。因此,总复习的关键在于对初中阶段所学英语内容进行系统分析和梳理,使其网络化、系统化,在实践和运用过程中变知识为能力。应该明确,复习是学生在脑海里建立起知识的联系,达到融会贯通,从而夯实已学知识,形成和发展运用能力的过程,而不是对所学知识的简单重复与累加的过程。
二、目标要求与命题特点
河北中考英语试题依据全日制义务教育《英语课程标准》和《河北省2013年初中毕业生升学英语学科考试说明》,不依赖、偏向于某一版本的教材,不出偏、难、怪题,不出死记硬背、机械训练的题目;渗透以培养学生的创新精神和实践能力为核心的教育新理念,重视综合英语语言运用能力的考查,以推动英语学科教学方式和学习方式的改革;充分发挥考试的正导向功能,以学生为本,注意考试问题的探究性与综合性,坚持其教育性与时代性,引导学生关注社会、关注人类;试题充分体现“知识与技能、过程与方法、情感态度与价值观”三维目标,体现“稳中求新,稳中求变,稳中求发展”的命题特点。2012年试题难度比例3:5:2(容易题30%,中等难度题50%,难度较大题20%),整套试卷难度系数为0.65。试卷由卷I和卷II组成。卷I为客观性试题(选择题),包括听力第一节和笔试;卷II为非选择题,包括听力第二节。卷I在机读卡上作答,卷II在试卷上作答。考试采用闭卷笔试形式,总分为120分(听力测试部分30分,笔试部分90分),考试时间为120分钟(包括听力测试部分25分钟)。这些,预测今年不会有大的改变。
那么,复习首先要明确目标,有了目标才会做到“有的放矢”。我们在复习时要遵循《义务教育英语课程标准》与《初中毕业生升学文化课考试说明》的技能目标和要求。具体到听力技能、口语技能、阅读技能、写作技能和语言知识综合运用五个方面,目标要求分别是:
(一)听力技能
听力技能指学生对口头语言材料的理解能力和从口头语言材料获取信息的能力。具体要求:
1.能根据语调和重音理解说话者的意图;
2.能听懂有关熟悉话题的谈话,并能从中提取信息和观点;
3.能借助语境克服生词障碍,理解大意;
4.能听懂接近自然语速的故事和记叙文,理解故事的因果关系;
5.能在听的过程中用适当方式做出反应;
6.能针对所听语段的内容记录简单信息;
7.能听懂广播、电视、录音、录像中与本学段水平相当的英语有声语言材料。
(二)口语技能
1.能就简单的话题提供信息,表达简单的观点和意见,参与讨论;
2.能与他人沟通信息,合作完成任务;
3.能在口头表达中进行适当的自我修正;
4.能有效地询问信息和请求帮助;
5.能根据话题进行情景对话;
6.能用英语表演短剧;
7.能在以上口语活动中做到语音、语调自然,语气恰当。
(三)阅读技能
阅读技能是英语学科考试主要考查的内容之一,着重考查学生理解各种题材和体裁书面材料的能力,以及从各种材料中获取信息的能力。具体要求:
1.能根据上下文和构词法推断、理解生词的含义;
2.能理解段落中各句子之间的逻辑关系;
3.能找出文章中的主题,理解故事的情节,预测故事情节的发展和可能的结局; 4.能读懂相应水平的常见体裁的阅读材料;
5.能根据不同的阅读目的,运用简单的阅读策略获取信息;
6.能利用词典等工具书进行学习;
7.除教材外,课外阅读量应累计达到15万词以上。
(四)写作技能
写作技能指学生运用所学语言知识与技能进行信息沟通、再现生活经历、描述周围事物、发表意见和观点的能力。具体要求:
1.能根据写作要求,收集、准备素材;
2.能独立起草短文、短信等,并在教师的指导下进行修改;
3.能使用常见的连接词表示顺序和逻辑关系;
4.能简单描述人物或事件;
5.能根据所给图示或表格写出简单的段落或操作说明。
(五)语言知识综合运用
语言知识的综合运用指学生在有意义的具体语境中运用语音、词汇、语法、语用等语言知识的能力。考试着重考查学生综合语言运用能力,不单纯考查知识点和机械记忆。
三、复习要点、方法指导和专项训练
(一)口语技能
口语技能是指学生英语口头表达的能力,指在具体语言环境中沟通信息、描述事物与情感、发表观点和意见的能力。 受现实条件的制约,大面积进行英语口试不太现实,目前我省中考英语学科考试主要通过听力考查来间接考查学生的口语能力。尤其是听力部分的“听句子,选出该句的最佳答语”试题,是以人机对话的形式考查口语能力的。学生听到来自播放器的声音,犹如是听到来自对面的人的声音一样,需要根据不同的情境、语气、身份等做出合理的应答。以2012年河北省中考英语试题为例:
Ⅱ. 听句子,选出该句的最佳答语。
6. A. You’re right.
B. I hope so. C. It’s not too hard.
7. A. Well done.
B. Never mind. C. No way.
8. A. Who’s speaking?
B. I’ll call her later. C. The line is busy.
9. A. It’s Tuesday.
B. It’s December 25th. C. It’s a fine day.
10.A. Be careful.
B. I don’t think so. C. Nothing serious.
录音材料:
No.6. Don’t worry about the match. You’ll do a good job.
No.7. Dad, can I drive the car to the party?
No.8. I’m sorry, but she’s out to dinner right now.
No.9. What day of the week is Christmas this year?
No.10. Doctor, I’ve got a pain here.
答案: 6. B 7. C 8. B 9. A 10. C
不难看出,以上我们就像面对家长、老师、同学、医生等进行应答。做此题时,学生普遍的问题是不能针对上句,做出正确的反应。出现此问题的根本原因不是听不清上句而无法应答,而是(1)对功能意念项目不熟悉,不知道该语言的使用场所,不知如何应答对方;(2)是受汉语的干扰,不分情境,不懂英汉文化差异,做出汉语式的答语。(3)缺乏语言实践。平时很少使用英语,面对毫无准备的情境,头脑一片空白。如有的同学用All right给Thank you very much作答;有的用Good luck给I’ve passed the exam作答;有的用Not at all给You did very well作答等,造成错误。
【方法指导】
为了避免上述错误,复习时,可以分两个步骤:
1.研读《初中毕业生升学文化课考试说明》中“功能意念项目表”,如:社会交往、态度、情感等,弄清如何表示感谢、请求许可、提供帮助、祝贺与祝愿等,牢记如何做出正确的应答,如:“感谢(Thank you very much/Thanks a lot/Thank you for your help.)”的应答语“It’s a pleasure/That’s OK/That’s all right/You’re welcome.”,并在日常生活中多用英语进行交际。例如:2012年河北中考试题的第6题,是《河北省升学文化课考试说明》中的“希望和愿望(Hope and wish)”的内容:I hope to…答语为I hope so/I hope not;第7题为《学科考试说明》中的“请求允许及同意和不同意”的内容;第8题为“打电话”项目;第9题为“时间”项目。第10题为“就医”项目内容。总之,此题考点均出自《河北省升学文化课考试说明》,同学们一定要认真研读。
2.强化训练,把多套此类试题的录音材料及答语放在一起,从做笔试入手,分析具体的语言环境及英汉应答方式的不同。在强化练习中,熟悉、巩固并提高正确的应答能力。例如我们可以把《教育实践与研究》编辑部的《中考英语听力模拟试题》及其增刊试题的材料整合为专项训练作为强化训练的材料,帮助考前复习。

答案:1. C 2. B 3.C 4.A 5.A 6.B 7.C 8.B 9.A 10.C
(二)听力技能
听力技能是指学生对口头语言材料的理解能力和从口头语言材料中获取信息的能力。中考英语听力试题,一般从听句子入手,从小对话到长对话及长语篇,听力材料逐渐加长,信息量逐渐增大,主要考查学生的听力理解能力和获取信息的能力。
中考英语听力第一题注重考查学生捕捉句子中关键信息的能力,从辨音和分析语义两个方面考查。它要求学生理解、分析所听语言材料,甄别、比对各选项后做出正确选择。如2012年河北省中考英语听力试题:
Ⅰ.听句子,选出句子中所包含的信息。
1. A. desk B. test C. text
2. A. 08:15 B. 07:45 C. 08:45
3. A. a tidy shirt B. a white skirt C. a nice bird
4. A. Tim is a student.
B. Tim is 40 years old.
C. Tim works in a school.
5. A. We must finish the work at 10:00.
B. We can’t finish the work before 10:00.
C. We’ll probably finish the work before 10:00.
听力材料:
No.1. We had a big test yesterday.
No.2. On Sundays, I get up at a quarter past eight.
No.3. I bought a nice bird for my brother’s birthday.
No.4. Tim is 14 and he is in high school.
No.5. It’s possible for us to finish the work before 10 o’clock.
答案:1. B 2. A 3. C 4. A 5. C
【方法指导】
复习此类内容时,要学会把握句子的关键词及同义句的表达方法,通过听写、记录关键词或转述的方法进行考前巩固练习。
对话和语段的部分主要考查学生对所听语言材料的理解及获取关键信息的能力。对话、语段内容以真实生活为基础,涉及生活的方方面面:天气、购物、生活习惯、爱好、邀请、就餐、旅游、就医、住宿、校园生活等等。在进行强化训练时,我们要围绕“观察、预测、验证”六字方针进行。首先仔细观察卷面的图片和文字材料;然后,根据问题和选项预测听力内容;最后,根据自己的预测,带着问题进行验证。我们在复习时,要尽最大可能地设计真实或接近真实的情境,在具体的情境中去体会具体语言的使用。也就是说,我们要为自己充分创设运用所学语言获取、处理和传递信息的机会,尽可能多地用英语表达个人的观点和感受。对于语段和长、短对话的复习,尤其应注意这一点。例:2012年河北省中考听力的第二节:
听短文填空。
Good morning ladies and gentlemen, this is the captain speaking, and I want to welcome you to Flight 18 for New York. Our flight time today is about two hours, and most of the time we will be flying at the height of 29,000 feet. After we reach that height, we will offer you lunch. The weather right now is sunny, but there’s a chance of snow later in the day. We will be arriving at Gate 13, New York Airport.
Please turn off your mobile phones. The plane will take off in a moment. Wish you a pleasant stay in New York City. Now sit back and enjoy your flight.
此语段是有关飞机起飞前机长向乘客介绍本航班旅途具体情况的语段。语言规范、信息丰富,广播式朗读效果迅速把学生带入到了真实的情境中。但是大部分学生对此感到很陌生,有的学生甚至说,“我又没有乘坐过国际航班,怎么能知道机长在说什么呢?”。作为中学生,我们的确不能学习全部的语言、文化知识,但是,如果我们在复习过程中尽可能多地接触、了解、创设接近真实的语言情境,拓展文化视野,利用所学知识处理信息,就不会有此问题的发生。

OK, A good question! Something about the school in the United States. Well, first of all, the students don’t wear their uniforms. They can wear whatever they like. They don’t do eye exercises, either. They usually start their day at about 8:30 in the morning, and classes are usually over at around 3:30 in the afternoon. Many of the students will do after-school activities.
In summer they have three months off. Some students will go to summer school, if they’re falling behind. But a lot of students will go off to camp or do something fun.
4. How long can the students be at school in a day? 5. What do they do besides having classes in the afternoon?
6. What do some students do if they are falling behind?

(三)阅读技能
阅读是指通过读文字材料理解其内容的过程。阅读理解关键在于“理解”二字,只看而不懂就不能称之为阅读。英语作为外语,阅读是我国学生接触英语信息,参加英语实践的重要途径。学生通过大量的阅读活动,吸收语言材料、增加语言知识、积累语言素材、巩固或扩大词汇量、熟悉常见句型等。阅读能力的提高能为听、说、写能力的发展打下良好的基础。学生的语言知识能否得到巩固、语言技能能否得到提高以及英语学习的积极性和兴趣能否得到激发,在很大程度上跟阅读有密切的关系。部分学生受“应试”思想的影响,误认为掌握了语法知识,背过了单词就能取得好成绩。因此,不重视阅读,不进行大量的阅读,即使阅读,也是把文章肢解成零碎的单词、词组、短语及语法。他们总是把生词看成是阅读的拦路虎,把生动有趣、内涵丰富、富有哲理、意义深远的文章看成是字母符号,不懂文章的结构及内容的逻辑关系,不了解文章的整体内容。这样,在平时和考试中很难取得满意的成绩。
阅读能力的重要性在中考试题中也有很好的体现。单纯的阅读理解分值就高达40分,再加上完形填空的10分,可以说阅读理解几乎占了总分的一半。阅读理解测验的目的从考查词句的理解到篇章的理解;从了解事实细节到确定中心思想、进行正确推论、得出合乎逻辑的结论等等。文章的题材和体裁也丰富多样,包括各种记叙文、说明文、议论文等。以2012年河北省中考英语阅读理解试题为例,阅读A篇是以“团队合作精神”为主题的日记体文章;B篇是语言文字丰富、可读性极强的英语国家常见的广告宣传册形式的说明文;C篇是以“培养具有自动阅读习惯的阅读者”为主题的议论文;任务型阅读是一篇主题为“电视发展”的科技文章;完形填空是一篇以“对‘成功’二字的理解”为主题的夹叙夹议体文章。请仔细阅读以下三篇阅读材料(2012河北中考试题):
A. 日记体,以团队合作精神为主题。(56~60题)
Saturday, June16th
In the morning, we went camping along a path in Green Natural Park. We were happy because it was a sunny day. We were expecting an enjoyable two-day holiday. On the way, we kept singing and making jokes.
However, in the afternoon, when we finished our picnic at one o’clock, it was dark and windy. Soon, there was a shower. Unluckily, none of us brought an umbrella. We ran about but we could find no place to hide. Twenty minutes passed and it was still raining. There were hours to go before we reached the campsite (野营地). It was even worse that our small compass (指南针) showed that we went to the wrong way. We had lost our way!
We had to make a quick decision as it was raining heavily. Chris said we could set up a tent to hide in, so Mary and Tom helped to set up the tent. Chris and I tried to make a fire to keep us warm. But we were unable to light the fire, as everything was wet. We dried ourselves, chatted and waited inside the tent. At about five o’clock, it stopped raining. We decided to give up the camping trip because all of us had been very tired.
This camping trip may not be very successful but we know each other better. And the most important thing I’ve learned from this trip is the importance of team spirit.

C. 议论文,主题:培养具有自动阅读习惯的阅读者。(66~70题)
Reading is the key to school success and, like any skill, it takes practice. A child learns to walk by practicing until he no longer has to think about how to put one foot in front of the other. An excellent sportsman practices until he can play quickly, correctly and without thinking. Educators call it “automaticity (自动性)”.
A child learns to read by sounding out the letters and finding the meaning of the words. With practice, he stumbles less and less, reading by the phrase (短语). With automaticity, he doesn’t have to think about the meaning of words, so he can give all his attention to the meaning of the text.
It can begin as early as first grade. In a recent study of children in Illinois schools, Alan Rossman of Northwestern University found that automatic readers in the first grade not only read almost three times as fast as the others, but also got better results in exams.
According to Rossman, the key to automaticity is the amount (数量) of time a child spends reading, not his IQ. Any child who spends at least 3.5 to 4 hours a week reading books, magazines or newspapers will probably reach automaticity. It can happen if a child turns off TV just one night for reading at home.
You can test yourself by reading something new which is suitable(适合) for your level. If you read aloud with expression, with a sense of the meaning of the sentences, you probably are an automatic reader. If you read brokenly, one word at a time, without expression or meaning, you need more practice.
66.“Reading is the key to school success” means that reading ________.
A. helps school develop faster
B. is a key to a successful school
C. helps students go to a key school
D. can improve students’ learning results
67. Children with “automaticity” can read faster because they ________.
A. know how to read the words
B. do not have to think while reading
C. read by themselves without any help
D. pay attention to the meaning of the text 68. Rossman tells that any child who _______ will possibly be an automatic reader.
A. turns off TV one night 4 weeks
B. reads books by the word quickly
C. spends an hour reading every day
D. gets the same grades as others in exams
69. The underlined word “stumble” in the passage means “________” in Chinese.
A. 结结巴巴地读 B. 全神贯注地读
C. 心不在焉地读 D. 声情并茂地读
70. The best title for the passage is “________”.
A. IQ Is the Key to the Automaticity
B. TV Is Bad for Children’s Reading
C. Automaticity Depends on Practice
D. Automatic Readers Will Be Successful
Key: D D C A C
【方法指导】
英语阅读理解能力的提高要讲究方法,方法得当能取得事半功倍的效果。要想真正提高阅读能力,就必须重视课堂阅读教学。只有正确掌握阅读理解的基本步骤,才有可能提高阅读理解的能力。课堂阅读教学要按照读前、读中、读后三个步骤进行。我们要重视课文的题目和插图或照片,重视文章的标题和段落的主题句。在进行阅读专题训练时,重点以阅读理解文章为重点,分析考点的设置及考查的内容。中考阅读理解题一般分为事实判断、细节理解、句意理解、词义猜测、主旨大意和题目归纳。以河北省2012年中考英语试题为例:
第60题:The writer has learned the importance of _______ from the trip.
A. making a decision B. working together
C. enjoying holidays D. taking a compass
本题是主旨分析题,考查学生对文章的整体理解情况和查找、整合信息的能力。A、C、D选项从生活常识和语意上判断都合情合理,但不是文章的主旨,正确选项working together从文中关键词team spirit转化而来,要求学生能够分析、综合有效信息,同时要学会从尾段提炼文章主旨。如:
第65题:For more information about the centre, you’d better ________.
A. call at 2792 2234 B. ask other visitors
C. study the facilities D. provide the website
错误选项C、D均属于信息重组、张冠李戴型干扰项,强干扰项B告诫学生不能超越文本,主观臆断。正确选项来源于文中结尾处的直接信息—电话号码。
第66题:“Reading is the key to school success” means that reading ________.
A. helps school develop faster
B. is a key to a successful school
C. helps students go to a key school
D. can improve students’ learning results
该题干是本篇首句,所有选项围绕本句关键词“key”“school success”设计。要求学生重视文章首句和全文内涵的关系,通读全篇后再分析题意,不能只根据字面意思简单判断。干扰选项“school develop”“successful school”“key school”都不是本文所谈重点,正确选项“improve students’ learning results”,从学生学习角度诠释reading的意义,“学生的发展”才是本文的表述重点。
第69题 The underlined word “stumble” in the passage means “________” in Chinese.
A. 结结巴巴地读 B. 全神贯注地读
C. 心不在焉地读 D. 声情并茂地读
该题为词义猜测题。被猜测的词,一般在该词的前面有暗示,在该词的后面有解释,这是突破此题的关键。
第70题 The best title for the passage is “________”.
A. IQ Is the Key to the Automaticity
B. TV Is Bad for Children’s Reading
C. Automaticity Depends on Practice
D. Automatic Readers Will Be Successful
该题为题目归纳题。英语文章的题目一般分为两类:一是概括全文内容的题目,另一类是富有深刻哲理的题目,在考试中多数是概括全文的题目。学生在做此类试题时,往往犯“以偏概全”的错误,把某一段或某一部分的内容作为归纳全文题目的依据,这是要极力避免的。
