許多同學(xué)有一種錯(cuò)覺(jué),只要多做題就有好處,或許“一不留神”就碰到了高考題。其實(shí)做題無(wú)非是拓寬你的視野,訓(xùn)練你的思維,加強(qiáng)你的記憶。要想在高考中取得滿(mǎn)意的成績(jī),不能是單純地去猜題、押題,而是要換種角度去思考,摸清出題者的命題規(guī)律及材料來(lái)源,只有這樣才能在學(xué)習(xí)考試中做到有的放矢。
一、考題的題干完全(或略加修改)來(lái)源于權(quán)威的外文詞典。

研讀今年考題可看出英語(yǔ)高考多項(xiàng)選擇主要是從基礎(chǔ)知識(shí)如:詞匯,句型,詞組搭配和習(xí)慣用法表達(dá),一些簡(jiǎn)單詞的“一詞多義,熟詞生義”來(lái)設(shè)題考查。當(dāng)然,不管怎么考,依據(jù)考試大綱,緊扣課本測(cè)試的語(yǔ)言點(diǎn)是最基本的一條準(zhǔn)繩。鑒于此,筆者建議在復(fù)習(xí)備考中首先要教材內(nèi)容爛熟于心,特別是一些長(zhǎng)且結(jié)構(gòu)復(fù)雜的或帶有重點(diǎn)詞匯的句子要更加留心。再者手頭上應(yīng)備有大部分的英文詞典,經(jīng)常在詞典中查找每單元課文中的一些重點(diǎn)動(dòng)詞、名詞或形容詞的擴(kuò)充用法或列舉的例句,一是可幫助你學(xué)到地道純正的英語(yǔ)句子,二可培養(yǎng)你的英語(yǔ)語(yǔ)感。最后當(dāng)然要多做些歷年的高考試題,“參悟”試卷的命題規(guī)律及考查方向。做到了以上幾點(diǎn),對(duì)高考成功的把握就會(huì)更多一些勝算。相信正確的方法一定會(huì)帶來(lái)滿(mǎn)意的成績(jī)!endprint
