英语新题型--短文填词样例分析高考英语改革主要的着力点在什么地方呢?第一,通过题式增减改进测试公平。
第二,通过题型配置改造试卷功能。
第三,通过赋分调配改善试题环境。
第四,通过题区整容改革难度分布。
目前,高考英语地方卷种的改革皆集中在这四个方面,而尤以通过题型配置改造试卷功能一举为最。
地方卷种主要的手段就是采取“去短文改错”。
然而用什么题型来代替短文改错呢?考查分省命题以来的各命题单位的实践,笔者认为主要有三种类型。
一是用词汇填空类来代替(侧重词汇的辨正能力的考查。
例如湖南,江苏,江西等);二是用句子写作类来代替(侧重浅层次句子写作技能的考查。
例如上海,山东);三是用短文写作类来代替(侧重较高层次文段写作技能的考查,例如北京,广东)。
而湖北的完成句子则有些介于词汇和句子写作技能之间的考查,有其独特性。
福建自2004年起就获得了高考英语自主命题权。
但五年来一直作为高考英语全国卷I模式考区,即该卷试卷结构形式采用全国卷I模式。
今年,分省命题已经进入第六个年头了,很多一直没有改革动向的省份也开始有些动静了,福建就是其中之一。
福建卷准备在2009年采用“短文填词”来代替短文改错。
短文填词显然属于词汇填空类,侧重词汇辨正能力的考查。
笔者仔细研究新出台的《2009年普通高等学校招生全国统一考试福建省英语考试说明》及所提供的样题,特提出个人一些思考,希望对福建卷高考英语试题的命制有所助益。
请参看样题:第一节短文填词(共10题小题,每小题1分,满分10分)阅读下面短文,根据以下提示:1)汉语提示;2)首字母提示;3)语境提示,在每个空格内填入一个适当的英语单词,并将该词完整地写在右边相对应的横线上。
所填单词要求意义准确,拼写正确。

词数控制在130词左右。

Dear Maya Shao-ming,To me, June 6, 1990 is a special day. My long awaited dream came true 1 your father cried, "A girl!" You are 2 just a second child. You, little daughter, are the link to our 3 line, the legacy of another woman's pain and sacrifice 31 years ago.Let me tell you about your Chinese grandmother. Somewhere in Hong Kong, in the late fifties, a young waitress found herself pregnant by a cook, probably a co-worker at her restaurant. She carried the baby to term, suffered to give it birth, and kept the little girl for the first three monthsof her life. I like to think that my mother—your grandmother— 4 me and fought to 5 me on her own, 6 that the daily struggle was too hard. Worn down by the 7 of the new baby and perhaps the constant threat of starvation, she made the painful decision to 8 her girl so that both of us might have a chance for a better life.9 , I was dropped at the orphanage steps or somewhere else. I will probably never know the 10 . Having a baby in her 11 state would have brought shame on the family in 12 , so she probably kept my existence a secret. Once I was out of her life, it was 13 I had never been born.Nevertheless, someone gave me a lucky name "Siu Wai". "Siu" means "little," and "Wai" means "clever". Therefore, my baby name was "Clever little one." Who chose those words? Who cared enough to note my arrival in the world?I lost my 14 name for 18 years. It was Americanized for convenience to "Sue". But likean ill-fitting coat, it made me 15 . I hated the name. But even more, I hated being Chinese.It 16 many years to become proud of my Asian origin and work up the courage to take back my birth-name.Your name, "Shao-ming", is very much like mine—"Shao" means " 17 ". And "ming" is "bright", as in a shining sun or moon. Whose lives will you brighten, little Maya? Your past is more complete than mine, and each day I cradle you in your babyhood, generously giving you the loving care I 18 for my first two years. When I pat you, I comfort the 19 baby inside me who 20 cries for her mother.Sweet Maya, it doesn't matter what you "become" later on. You have already fulfilled my wildest dreams.I love you.1.

[高一英语]09福建高考英语短文填词题解题思路1、形式:替换试卷中原短文改错题,重点考查单词拼写、语言基础知识、语篇理解能力和语言表达能力;在考查词汇的同时也考查学生读与写的能力。

2、选材:符合学生的书面表达水平,短文词数在130左右,共设10小题,第一行不设题,其余每行挖空一处设一题;考查以实词为主,兼顾其他词性。
3、提示方式有:首字母提示、汉语提示、语境提示,其中首字母提示、汉语提示各3~4个,语境提示2~3个。
每个空格根据提示用一个单词的适当形式填空。
4、答案的唯一性:如果出现与标准答案不同,但符合题目要求的答案也可以接受,具体由阅卷点裁定。
每个空格只能填入一个答案,超过一个的,该小题以零二、短文填词题八大考点1、名词:可数、不可数,可数名词的单复数形式;特别容易忽略名词的单复数,知道了名词的单复数,有时特别容易拼错,尤其是一些可数名词单复数的特殊变化,以及动名词之间的转换;如:leafmedia; advisepractice; succeedsimply, fishpossibly 可能的, practicaltwentieth,2、ninth第九3、 forty四4、 twelfth第二5、常见短语的掌握Call on号召,拜访(后接sb)/call in召集/ call at拜访某地; in good health; focus on关注/ concentrate on 集中注意力6、常见从句的掌握,定语从句与宾语从句的区别7、同义词的辨析Cloth布料/clothes衣服/clothing衣服总称, celebrate庆祝/ congratulate祝贺, hungry饿/starve 饥饿, disturb打搅/bother打扰8、形近易混词的区分Qulity质量/ quantity数量, similar相似的/familiar熟悉的, adapt适应/ adopt收养,改编三、学生普遍存在的二大问题第一:单词拼写问题,很多可能知道要填的单词,但拼写往往出错;第二:是如何确定所填词的词性,有些空确实特别需要注意的是细节的把握:如名词的单复数,和动词形式的变化以及词性之间的变换。

福建省高考英语“短文填词”试题福建省高考英语“短文填词”试题研究一、引言《英语课程标准》是编制教材词汇和考试说明词表的依据,美国当代英语语料库(coca)是当今世界上最大的英语平衡语料库,词汇库容高达4.25亿(davies & gardner, 2021)。
本文参照课标词汇和coca的5000高频常用词,研究近三年短文填词的选词特点、分析其考点分布、考生答题情况,讨论解题步骤,提出研究结论和教学建议,为高考命题和高中教学提供指导性意见。
二、分析与讨论1.近三年短文填词试题文本选词特点表1 2021-2021短文填词试题信息注:词汇量为扣除重复单词后比对课标词表得出,不包括人名。
2021-2021年短文填词体裁各异,题材贴近生活,总词数相对稳定,提示方式大同小异(见表1),未出现非课标词,课标词常用词基本集中在7级,但8级课标常用词少有甚至没有涉及(见表2),也出现了非常用词(5000常用词外)。
2021年8级课标常用词量为0;2021年8级课标常用词量为3个,仅占该题85个常用词的3.5%;2021年8级课标常用词量也为3个,占该题81个常用词的3.7%。
根据考试说明词表i和词表ii的常用词统计(表3),2531个基础常用词(level 1)中,ii级词表(属8级课标词)234个,占考试说明基础常用词总数的12%;834个通用学术常用词(level 2)中,ii级词表89个,占考试说明通用学术常用词量的49%;3365个常用词(level ct),ii级词表323个,占考试说明常用词总数的15%。
显然,2021-2021年8级课标常用词量所占比例明显不足。
高考是选拔性考试,忽略8级课标常用词对高中英语教学会产生负反拨效应,如词汇学习的功利性,过度倚重必修模块而忽略选修模块,影响语言输入质量和文本的丰富性,不利于阅读和书面表达能力的发展。

"Ecological design"is the name John gives to what he does."Life on Earth is kind of a box of spare parts for the inventor,"he says."You put organisms in new relationships and observe what's happening.Then you let these new systems develop their own ways to self-repair."4. What can we learn about John from the first two paragraphs?______A. He was fond of traveling.B. He enjoyed being alone.C. He had an inquiring mind.D. He longed to be a doctor.5. Why did John put the sludge into the tanks?______A. To feed the animals.B. To build an ecosystem.C. To protect the plants.D. To test the eco-machine.6. What is the author's purpose in mentioning Fuzhou?______A. To review John's research plans.B. To show an application of John's idea.C. To compare John's different jobs.D. To erase doubts about John's invention.7. What is the basis for John's work______A. Nature can repair itself.B. Organisms need water to survive.C. Life on Earth is diverse.D. Most tiny creatures live in groups.CThe goal of this book is to make the case for digital minimalism,including a detailed exploration of what it asks and why it works,and then to teach you how to adopt this philosophy if you decide it's right for you. To do so,I divided the book into two parts.In part one,I describe the philosophical foundations of digital minimalism,starting with an examination of the forces that are making so many people's digital lives increasingly intolerable,before moving on to a detailed discussion of the digital minimalism philosophy. Part one concludes by introducing my suggested method for adopting this philosophy:the digital declutter.This process requires you to step away from optional online activities for thirty days.At the end of the thirty days,you will then add back a small number of carefully chosen online activities that you believe will provide massive benefits to the things you value.In the final chapter of part one,I'll guide you through carrying out your own digital declutter.In doing so.I'll draw on an experiment I ran in 2018 in which over 1,600 people agreed to perform a digital declutter.You'll hear these participants' stories and learn what strategies worked well for them,and what traps they encountered that you should avoid.The second part of this book takes a closer look at some ideas that will help you cultivate a sustainable digital minimalism lifestyle.In these chapters,I examine issues such as the importance of solitude and the necessity of cultivating high-quality leisure to replace the time most now spend on mindless device use.Each chapter concludes with a collection of practices,which are designed to help you act on the big ideas of the chapter.You can view these practices as a toolbox meant to aid your efforts to build a minimalist lifestyle that words for your particular circumstances.8. What is the book aimed at?______A. Teaching critical thinking skills.B. Advocating a simple digital lifestyle.C. Solving philosophical problems.D. Promoting the use of a digital device.9. What does the underlined word" declutter"in paragraph 3 mean?______A. Clear-up.B. Add-on.C. Check-in.D. Take-over.10. What is presented in the final chapter of part one?______A. Theoretical models.B. Statistical methods.C. Practical examples.D. Historical analyses.11. What does the author suggest readers do with the practices offered in part two?______A. Use them as needed.B. Recommend them to friends.C. Evaluate their effects.D. Identify the ideas behind them.DOn March 7,1907,the English statistician Francis Galton published a paper which illustrated what has come to be known as the "wisdom of crowds" effect.The experiment of estimation he conducted showed that in some cases,the average of a large number of independent estimates could be quite accurate. This effect capitalizes on the fact that when people make errors,those errors aren't always the same.Some people will tend to overestimate,and come to underestimate.When enough of these errors are averaged together,they cancel each other out,resulting in a more accurate estimate.If people are similar and tend to make the same errors,then their errors won't cancel each other out.In more technical terms,the wisdom of crowds requires that people's estimates be independent.If for whatever reasons,people's errors become correlated or dependent,the accuracy of the estimate will go down.But a new study led by Joaquin Navajas offered an interesting twist (转折)on this classic phenomenon.The key finding of the study was that when crowds were further divided into smaller groups that were allowed to have a discussion,the averages from these groups were more accurate than those from an equal number of independent individuals.For instance,the average obtained from the estimates of four discussion groups of five was significantly more accurate than the average obtained from 20 independent individuals.In a follow-up study with 100 university students,the researchers tried to get a better sense of what the group members actually did in their discussion.Did they tend to go with those most confident about their estimates Did they follow those least willing to change their minds?This happened some of the time,but it wasn't the dominant response.Most frequently,the groups reported that they "shared arguments and reasoned together." Somehow,these arguments and reasoning resulted in a global reduction in error. Although the studies led by Navajas have limitations and many questions remain,the potential implications for group discussion and decision-making are enormous.12. What is paragraph 2 of the text mainly about?______A. The methods of estimation.B. The underlying logic of the effect.C. The causes of people's errors.D. The design of Galton's experiment.13. Navajas' study found that the average accuracy could increase even if ______A. the crowds were relatively smallB. there were occasional underestimatesC. individuals did not communicateD. estimates were not fully independent14. What did the follow-up study focus on?______A. The size of the groups.B. The dominant membersC. The discussion process.D. The individual estimates.15. What is the author's attitude toward Navajas' studies?______A. Unclear.B. Dismissive.C. Doubtful.D. Approving.Personal ForgivenessTaking responsibility for mistakes is a positive step,but don't beat yourself up about them.To err (犯错)is human.(1)______ You can use the following writing exercise to help you do this.In a journal or on a piece of paper,put the heading "Personal strengths."(2)______ Are you caring?Creative?Generous?A good listener?Fun to be around?They don't have to be world -changing,just aspects of your personality that you're proud of.At the top of a second page,put the heading"Acts of kindness."

The thing is,it's true.(5)______ We' re all changing and learning all the time and mistakes are a positive way to develop and grow.A.A little self-forgiveness also goes a long way.B.Now list all the characteristics you like about yourself.C.They might even like to have a go at doing the exercise.D.It's just as important to show yourself some forgiveness.E.It doesn't mean you have to ignore what's happened or forget it.F.Whatever it is,no matter how small it might seem,write it down.G.Whatever the mistake,remember it isn't a fixed aspect of your personality.16.
