第二节书面表达
Sample 1:
Dear Chris,
Glad to learn that you will take part in a Chinese poem recitation contest. Here is my interpretation of the poem you’ll recite.
The poem is about a son who is leaving his hometown to pursue his dream. Feeling concerned about his son, the mother decides to make a coat for him. She is worried that her son might not come home soon, so she sews every stich carefully hoping to make it last longer. This poem praises the love of mothers. In the first two lines, the characters “thread” and “coat” imply the inseparable bond between mother and son. In the l ast two lines, the poet compares a mother’s love to sunlight, which helps the grass grow day by day. And such great kindness cannot be easily repaid.
Good luck in the upcoming contest! Looking forward to the news of your victory.
Yours,
Li Hua
Sample 2:
Dear Chris,
Glad to hear that you’re participating in the Chinese poem recitation contest. The poem you chose is an ancient one, which ought to be a real challenge.
The poem, written by Mengjiao, is called A Traveler’s Song. It’s about the deep love between the poet and his mother. The poem mainly describes a scene in which a mother is making clothes for her son who is leaving home to fulfil his dream. With each stich she makes, the mother conveys her deep love for her son and her concern that he may not return. The poet expresses his ideas using similes/comparison, concluding that a “mother’s love is like the sunshine to the grass”.
With its rich emotion and depth, this poem is a good choice for your contest. Best of luck.
Yours

。。 . . 。。. . 2005～2006学年上期期末考试 高一英语试卷分析 雅安市教科所英语组 本次高一英语考试题满分为150分，试题难易适度。但是，从全市高一6780多名学生的答题情况来看，却不容乐观。全市高一英语平均分仅为66.45分，得分率仅为0.44，最高分134分，最低分6分，差异系数33.49。这些数据基本反映出我市高一英语教学质量的现状。这些数据表明我市高一英语教学质量不高，在全省处于落后位置，形势非常严峻，须引起全市高一英语教师高度注意。为此，我们必须认真总结经验，找出差距，认真分析存在的问题，采取措施，改进教学方法，为提高英语教学质量而努力工作。 为了帮助高一英语老师搞好教学工作，我们对试题进行了统计分析(请见统计表)，并将我们的意见简述如下：
本试卷分为听力测试、单项填空、完形填空、阅读理解、写作五道大题，下面分大题进行逐题分析与探讨，并结合教学提出建议。 一、听力测试。该试题以考查对于口头语言的理解为目的，要求学生能够听懂日常交际中发音清楚、语速正常的简短对话和独白。本题满分30分，全市平均分19.57，最高分30分，最低分0分。本题是全卷中难度最低的题，难度系数为0.65。本题也是学生得分最高的题，说明学生的听力有所提高。 本题虽是学生得分最高的题，但是老师和同学们对此决不能骄傲自满。须知，本试题的难度距高考试题尚有一定的差距。在今后的教学中，教师应指导学生多听地道的标准的英美人的录音材料，在教学中应尽量用英语组织教学，鼓励学生在课堂内外大胆地主动地朗读英语，用英语进行对话，不断地提高学生们的听力水平。 二、单项填空。本试题主要考查学生对英语语法、词汇知识和较为简单的表达方式的掌握情况。本题满分25分，全市平均分11.54，最高分25分，最低分0分，难度系数为0.46。学生得分较低。 本题学生得分较低，说明不少的学生在基本的语法掌握上还有差距。本试题既注重考查语言形式，也注重考查语义内容，还注重考查语言的运用。学生得分低，说明学生在语言的运用上还存在较大的差距。 在今后的教学中，教师要指导学生掌握基本的英语语法知识、词汇知识和较为简单的表达方式，还要在此基础上培养学生在特定的语言环境中运用语言的能力。 三、完形填空。本试题主要考查学生在阅读理解的基础上对词汇知识的掌握情况，本题满分30分，全市平均分12.51分，最

广州市2020年高三第二次模拟考试 英语 第二部分阅读理解(共两节，满分40分) 第一节(共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分) 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。 WENQIANG A We can all think of times when people didn't make remembering easy. Directions given at machine-gun speed. New people introduced in a flood of names and handshakes. Whenever information is passed between people, it’s all too easy for it to go in one ear and straight out of the other. Thankfully, the opposite is also true. Look around you, and you’ll see parents who can get their children to rem ember exactly what they were told; advertisers who know how to imprint their sales messages on our brains. So, how do they do? Their secrets can be summed up in four simple words: focus, imagery, reasons and engagement. FOCUS means ensuring that the person you’re talking to can concentrate on learning. Choose your moment carefully. Check that they can properly hear or see the information. Communicate slowly and clearly enough for their memory to cope. IMAGERY helps information to stick. Do everything your can to make other people “see”the ideas you’re giving them. Add visual details to directions, and illustrate abstract concepts with metaphors. REASONS to remember help people to put in the mental effort. So, make it clear that your words are important, and be explicit about why. Maybe this information will save them time, protectthem from embarrassment, or let them enjoy a particular experience or event. EMGAGEMENT requires you to ask questions. Point out links between new concepts and things listeners already know. Activate their senses, spark their curiosity, get them doing something physical, or simply make them laugh. The next time you’ve got an important message to pass on, put some of these techniques to the test. You’ll discover that there are benefits on both sides when you know how to FIRE people’s memories into action. 21. What is the main purpose of the text? A.To report new research. B.To provide some advice. C.To explain a problem. D.To define some terms. 22. How can you do to help a listener “focus” on w hat you are saying? A.Select the appropriate time to raise the topic. B.Do something humorous to get their attention. C.Make sure the information provided is correct.

2018年高考英语全国卷一试卷分析与历年真题对比 一、2018新课标一高考英语考试范围及考试结构 2018年高考英语科目从考试要求、考试形式和卷面结构来看均与2017年保持一致。 【第一部分：听力】20个单选题的形式，听力话题与生活息息相关。 【第二部分：阅读理解】 2018年针对阅读依然是传统的四篇单选阅读加一篇七选五任务型阅读，重点考察考生对文章内容的细节理解、推力判断、词义猜测、主旨归纳以及文章逻辑的处理能力。 【第三部分：语言知识运用】 第一节：完形填空取材于现实，题材为记叙文。通过记叙的方式文章讲述了作者在大学期间学习下棋的经历。这个话题与2017年在大学期间学习手语的话题非常相似。 第二节：语法填空通过提示词和无提示词两种方式着重考察考生对实词和虚词的综合考察。 【第四部分：写作】 第一节：短文改错延续8:1:1的改错原则，8个改词，1个多词，1个缺词。考察重点和方式与往年区别不大。 第二节：书面表达整体中等难度，以邮件的形式介绍去中国朋友家做客的一些习俗。是传统的书信形式，难度不大。 二、2018年新课标高考英语试题命题特点 2018年英语试题，本次题目创新上比较少，整体中规中矩，没有出现偏难偏怪的题目，选项基本上平时强化练习都会涉及到。书面表达也比较容易，作答时不会出现太费力的地方。并且阅读题中设置的难点区分度并不是特别明显。因此整体上来说今年全国卷I英语整体难度较去年略有下降，但个别题目较新颖，考察灵活有设置适量陷阱。 三、2014-2018年新课标高考英语高考点分布及对比分析
四、2019备考指南 1.语法知识的梳理要更加全面，侧重学生对语法知识的基本理解和灵活应用。语法知识的学习不能孤立起来，要跟各个题型的应用相结合。以定语从句为例，要掌握定语从句的基本知识点，明确在短文改错、语法填空中的考查方式；掌握阅读理解中定语从句相关的长难句分析；掌握写作中定语从句句式的灵活应用，以提高写作层次。这样语法知识的学习才能更加全面，真正理解，达到语法知识学习的根本目的。 2.词汇的学习是英语成绩提升的根本，所以要重视词汇的学习和积累。高中单词很多，要分层次的学习。重点单词要会读，会写而且掌握基本的用法及词性转换。非重点单词在阅读理解里面出现不影响理解就可以。掌握各个题型如听力、阅读、完形中的高频词汇，能提高单词学习的效率。 3.各个题型都有一定的做题方法，但最根本的还是词汇和语法知识的灵活应用，所以题型做题方法与技巧的讲解不能脱离具体题目的练习，否则学生不会掌握到任何实质性的方法和技巧。 另外，要在各个题型的讲解中，强化长难句分析的练习，通过阅读理解专项练习进行词汇的积累和文章中长难句的分析，锻炼学生在长难句中提炼关键信息的能力。 4.写作的练习要从最基础的句式开始练习，教给学生独立写句子的能力，单纯的万能句式并不能帮助学生应付所有类型的写作，所以能力的提升才是根本。另外，写作的内容越来越灵活，书信形式基本不变，但是内容上越来越多样化，甚至是倾向于结合相应的文化知识进行写作，所以需要让学生接触更多的写作形式，掌握必要的不同文化背景下的基础词汇。
