【名师点评】整套试卷突出了语言运用能力的考查。
其中语言知识部分,15道单项选择题侧重动词和句法;动词方面,考查了动词时态、语态、语气、主谓一致、非谓语动词、情态动词,可谓是涉及了动词方方面面的语法知识。
句法方面,考查了强调句型、定语从句、状语从句和名词性从句,考查面也很广。
完形填空第一节全部考查实词,第二节几乎全部考查虚词。
阅读理解题应用文一篇,说明文两篇,阅读量比往年小,且试题以细节理解题为主。
写作部分的阅读填空题难度与去年持平,但阅读简答题尽管选材比去年容易,但答题难度大于去年。
书面表达为开放性作文,为城乡学生均熟悉的联系学生实际的话题,让学生有话可写。
总的来说,整套试卷的难度小于去年,属偏易范畴。
(湖南卷听力解析)2010年高考新鲜出炉,新课改祭出的全新湖南英语高考备受关注。
由于新课改题型大幅改革,加上高校扩招等缘故,今年湖南卷英语考试难度系数有所下降,尤其新题型设计难度不大,语法题严格按照湖南考纲模版命题,有些单项填空相当简单,命题设计缺乏亮点,乏善可陈,诚然让作为新东方高考珠江老师的我们感到有点失望。
但为了保证试题改革试成功,避免区分度波动太大,这样的“保守”或有求稳之嫌,无可厚非。
根据高考改革的设计初衷,第一个题型听力部分可谓是大刀阔斧的第一刀,短对话被取消,考察六个长对话,共15个选择题,填空题增加到五个。
长对话的增多、主观试题听写填空的分值比例增加,理论上势必导致听力部分更加注重对考生口语和书面表达输出水平、和在听说环境中对多种细节的处理加工能力的考察,难度会有所上升,对英语实际运用能力较差的考生不利,但笔者实际深入感受了今年的听力命题后,发现听力难度不升反降,语音为纯正美语,语速为140词每分钟,对话部分的语言设计略显沉闷,对话句型老套,对话情节了无新意,没有完全达到再现西方社会英语地道文化语境的真实效果,也没有出现较难的听力词汇以及偏难怪的习语俚语;前面的四个长对话与以前的短对话无异,信息量并未增加,让人有“虚晃一枪”的感觉;听力填空题的题材与05年湖南卷填空题的电话自动应答雷同,老调重弹,缺乏新意。
2010年高考英语全国二卷真题答案及解析--阅读理解部分第二部分:阅读理解(共25小题。
第一节每小题2分,第二节每小题1分;满分45分)第一节阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C、D)中,选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
AWhen I was six, Dad brou ght home a dog one day, who was called “Brownie”, My brothers and I all loved Brownie and did different things with her. One of us would walk her, another would feed her ,then there were baths, playing catch and many other games . Brownie, in return, loved each and every one of us. One thing that most touched my heart was that she would go to whoever was sick and just be with them. We always felt better when she was around.One day, as I was getting her food, she chewed up(咬破) one of Dad’s shoes, which had to be thrown away in the end. I knew Dad would be mad and I had to let her know what she did was Wrong. When I looked at her and said, “Bad girl.” She looked down at the ground and then went and hid. I saw a tear in her eyes.Brownie turned out to be more than just our family pet. She went everywhere with us.People would stop and ask if they could pet her. Of course sh e'd let anyone pet her. She was just the most lovable dog. There were many times when we'd be out walking and a small child would come over and pull on her hair. She never barked (吠) or tried to get away. Funny thing is she would smile. This frightened people because they thought she was showing her teeth. Far from the truth, she loved everyone.Now many years have passed since Brownie died of old age. I still miss the days when shewas with us.41. What would Brownie do when someone was ill in the family?A. Look at them sadly.B. Keep them company.C. Play games with them.D. Touch them gently.本题选B。
