高三英语一轮复习资料高三是一个非常重要的阶段，对于整个学生生涯都有着非常重要的作用。
而英语作为全球最为通用的语言之一，在高中阶段的学习非常重要。
因此，为了帮助广大高中生更好地全面备战高考，以下将介绍一些高三英语一轮复习的资料及方法。
一、教材复习教材是任何学科学习的基础，高三英语也不例外。
在进行一轮复习的过程中，高三英语教材是最基础也是最重要的复习资料。
因此，在确定了一轮复习的时间和进度之后，建议在学期初的前两个月将所有教材先过一遍。
这样不仅可以加深对教材的理解，更为重要的是，教材中所涉及的语法、词汇、句型等内容都是高考所必要的，必须完全掌握。
二、高考真题复习高考英语难度比较大，而且作为重点考试科目之一，在高三的期末也会出现一定的英语考试，因此在复习英语的时候应当以高考真题为重点进行复习。
这样可以更好地了解高考英语的出题方向及难度，有针对性地进行重点复习。
建议先将历年高考真题中相对较简单的题目先做，并把做错的地方记录下来。
接下来应当把高考英语中的重点和难点进行逐一攻克，通过做真题找到漏洞并及时弥补。
三、英语听力训练与认真复习教材和做高考真题相比，英语听力训练相对要更为具有挑战性。
因此，建议高三学生需要定期进行英语听力训练，以保持听力水平。
可以通过听英语广播、英语电影、英语歌曲甚至是英文有声读物等多种形式来进行英语听力的训练。
并且在进行听力训练时，应当注意提高自己的听力观察能力，这样在英语听取考试中更能 accurate理解语句。
四、语法辅导高考英语需要的语法知识非常多，而且一些语法知识还非常复杂，需要巨大的精力进行学习。
在这个环境下，语法辅导是一个非常重要的复习方式。
而且，语法规则更需要系统的、长时间的学习。
在学习语法时，不仅要理解语法规则，更要熟悉语法规则的适用方式。
在语法学习的过程中，重点建议学生应该重视常见语法错误，这是英语考试中经常出现的一个错误类型。
五、词汇积累词汇是英语学习中的一个重要部分。

高考英语一轮复习语法专项突破非谓语动词：现在分词语法考点总结得语法者得天下，高考英语处处离不开英语语法知识，词汇是基础，那么语法则是通往高分的阶梯，掌握好英语语法的核心知识，解答高考英语题目则会游刃有余。
本校高中英语教研组精心整理了该套语法专项突破讲义，适合高考英语一轮复习使用，希望同学们好好利用。
明年六月，金榜题名！分词就是具有动词及形容词二者特征的词，具有形容词功能，同时又表现各种动词性特点，在句子中可以作状语，表语，宾补，定语等，用途非常广泛，分为现在分词和过去分词两种，是一种非谓语动词形式，分词可以有自己的状语，宾语，逻辑主语。
一、定义现在分词（present participle）（又称-ing形式，现在进行时），是分词的一种，在句子里面不能单独充当谓语，但能充当其它的一些成分（定语，表语，补语，状语），并且它们具有动词的性质，所以又是类动词的一种。
二、特征和功能一面具有动词的特征，可以有自己的宾语和状语；另一面具有形容词和副词的特征，可以充当表语，定语，状语，补足语，可以表示主动或正在进行的动作。
三、垂悬结构现在分词作状语时，其逻辑主语应该与句子的主语一致，但有时现在分词的主语与其所在句中的主语并不一致，这种现在分词即所谓的垂悬现在分词。
垂悬现在分词容易使句意模糊，甚至造成歧义，因而通常被认为是不合规范或错误的用法，例如：不论是走路或睡觉，我总是在想着这个问题。
Walking or sleeping，this subject was always in my mind.---->walking or sleeping 的逻辑主语是句中的my应改为：Walking or sleeping, I was always thinking of the subject.在爬山时，探险家们看见几头野猪。
Climbing up the hill, several boars were seen.应改为：Climbing up the hill, the explorers saw several boars.四、两个基本特点1、在时间上，表示动作正在进行。
高考英语一轮复习资料汇总高中英语语法复习讲义——名词一、概说名词是表示人、事物、抽象概念等名称的词，如boy 男孩，mother 母亲，news 消息，progress 进步，computer 计算机，Tom 汤姆，Paris 巴黎，Japan 日本，furniture 家具，等。
名词根据其词汇意义，通常分为专有名词和普通名词。
专有名词主要指人、地方、组织、机构等的专有的名称，专有名词的第一个字母通常大写，如Mary 玛丽，Mr Green 格林先生，Beijing 北京，等;普通名词通常指人、物、概念等的一般名称。
根据普通名词的语法性质，它又可以细为个体名词、物质名词、集合名词和抽象名词四类：个体名词表示人或物的个体，如girl 女孩，pen 钢笔，等;物质名词表示无法分为个体的实物，如wood 木头，meat 肉，等;集合名词表示若干个体组成的集合体，如：family 家庭，crowd 人群，等;抽象名词表示性质、行为、状态、感情等抽象概念，如work 工作，happiness 幸福，等。
二、名词的数1. 名词复数的构成方法(1) 在一般情况下，加词尾-s：book / books 书pen / pens 钢笔face / faces 脸(2) 以s, x, z, sh, ch 等结尾的名词，通常加词尾-es：bus / buses 公共汽车box / boxes 盒子dish / dishes 盘子注：有些以ch 结尾的名词，由于其发音不是[k] 而是[tf]，那么其复数形式应加词尾–s，如stomach / stomachs 胃。
(3) 以y 结尾的名词，其复数构成要分两种情况：以“辅音字母+y”结尾的名词，将y 改为ies;以“元音字母+y”结尾的名词，直接加词尾s：city / cities 城市boy / boys 男孩key / keys 钥匙注：以y 结尾的专有名词，若在某些特殊情况下需要复数，通常加s 构成：Mary / Marys 玛丽Germany / Germanys 德国(4) 以o 结尾的名词，有些加词尾-s，有些加-es，有些加-s 或-es 均可：piano / pianos 钢琴tomato / tomatoes 西红柿zero / zero(e)s 零注：有人对英语中所有以o结尾的名词作了统计，一共近200个，其中绝大部分的复数形式通过加词尾-s构成，少数加词尾es。
