试题总评：从整体上看难度略有提升，过渡较平稳。
试题重点突出，命题思路清晰，重视对思维能力和全面文化素质的考察，强调交际运用。
整套试卷很好地体现了语言教学的特色：既融语言及情感、又兼顾知识与能力。
一、语法部分难度适中，注重基础知识的考察。
考点分布：时态语态（4道），非谓语动词（3道），从句（5道），虚拟语气、情态动词、并列连词（各1道）。
二、阅读部分体裁丰富，话题较贴近生活。
从完形、阅读到七选五，关注社会、自然以及自我价值的实现。
篇幅难度与2015年北京高考基本持平，阅读题目重视细节题目的考察。
阅读D篇是一篇议论文，篇幅较长。
文章论述了大学在培养学生自主性和认同感方面的重要性，文章有一定的难度，尤其是第70题文章结构题。
通过第四段的“equally important”及第五段段首的“moreover”等逻辑词可推知文章结构。
三、应用文题材新颖，综合考察了考生的日常积累能力。
谈及人物的贡献和对自己的影响时，考生有可能会遇到大量的词汇障碍，故难度较去年明显提升。
四、情景作文话题较为常规，整体难度适中。
“地球日”系列活动属于保护环境的体裁内容，对于考生并不陌生。
第二部分：知识运用（共两节，45 分）第一节单项填空（共15 小题；每小题 1 分，共15 分）从每题所给的ABCD 四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
