【应试对策】
1. 时态语态:考生应熟悉普通高中《英语课程标准(实验稿)》中所要求的十种常用时态和被动语态的构成及用法。做时态、语态题时一定要结合语境,抓住时间状语和从属连词,还要注意主从句时态呼应。
2. 非谓语动词:要掌握不定式、分词和动名词的基本用法及区别。注意非谓语动词与其逻辑主语的关系,选择表示主动或被动意义的非谓语动词。
3. 复合句:三大从句引导词的选择各有诀窍:名词性从句引导词的选择采用从句中“缺什么补什么”的策略;定语从句关系词的选择需要“看先行词在定语从句中作何成分,作主语、宾语或定语用关系代词,作状语用关系副词”;状语从句引导词的选用关键根据句子的意思。
4. 动词(词组):考生应熟练掌握常用动词的用法,多看一些英文报刊,有可能多听一些英语教学节目,注意一词多意或多性现象,特别关注一些常用动词的用法。
5. 冠词:考生应掌握不定冠词表示泛指和定冠词表示特指的用法,还应熟知抽象名词具体化和具体名词抽象化,注意零冠词以及固定搭配的用法。
6. 名词:考生应掌握可数名词及其单复数(特别是外来词),不可数名词和专有名词以及名词所有格,特别注意同义词辨析及常用短语。
7. 情态动词:考生应熟知常用情态动词的基本用法,重点掌握肯定句和否定句中对现在、此时此刻及过去的推测用法,还有need和dare作为情态动词和实义动词两种用法。
8. 特殊句型:考生应注意特殊句型往往有其特定的标志,句子结构相对固定,因此答题时要善于捕捉关键词,然后根据积累的知识解题。
9. 虚拟语气:考生应掌握虚拟语气三个公式(现在、过去、将来)及其在倒装、错综条件句、含蓄条件句以及在其他从句中的应用。
10. 功能意念:考生应熟练掌握十一类功能意念项目和二十四类话题项目,特别注意英汉思维方式的差异,语言得体
命题常用手段
1 设置干扰 2 思维定势 3 汉英差异 4 形近义近词 5 创设语境
设置干扰
命题者有意把句子结构复杂化, 题干以倒装句，被动句，疑问句，省略句，或在句中加入插入语、使用强调句、从句、标点符号等形式，避开考生所熟悉的陈述句结构，来增加试题难度。
1. To all of you _____ the honor for the success．（倒装句）
A．belongs to B．belong to C．belongs D．belong
2. Time should be made good use of ___our lessons well.（被动句）
A. learning B. learned C. to learn D. learns
3.——What made her mother so angry ——____the exam.（省略）
A. Because she did not pass B. Her not passing C. She did not pass D. Because her not passing
4.Is this museum ____ you visited （疑问句）
A.that B.what C.which D./
解题技巧
（一）还原法
将不熟悉的省略句、疑问句、倒装句、被动句、等还原为熟悉的陈述句；也可将残缺的部分补出或将多余的部分删除。
5.Dorothy was always speaking highly of her role in the play, ____，of course, made the others unhappy.(插入语)
A. who B. which C. this D. What
6.The person we spoke to ___no answer at first.（定从）
A. make B. making C. makes D. made
7. The officer gave orders that anyone __a gun should be reported to the police station.
A saw take B. seen taking C. seeing take D. seen taken
解题技巧
（二）省略法
对于含有插入语或从句的复杂句子，如果不考查此部分，首先应分析语境及句子结构，找出并在省略插入语或去掉与选项不相关从句或短语的情况下，重新分析句子结构，复杂的句子结构就简单了；如果考察此部分，也缩小了语境。
8.The young mother saw her baby fall to the ground; _____ brought her heart to her mouth.（标点符号）
A. this B. which C. and that D. that
解题技巧
（三）结构法
对于复杂长句子，先划分主、从句，理清主句结构，确定试题考察哪部分，特别要注意标点符号的作用。
9.I’m sorry I can’t help __ the floor of the classroom.
A. sweeping B. swept C. to sweep D. to sweeping
10. Madame Curie，for _____ life had once been very hard， was successful later．
A.whom B.which C.whose D.that
11. Do you have any idea of the reason ____he referred to？
A．that B．where C．why D．when
思维定势
解题技巧
正确理解句意，避免定势思维。在学习过程中，尤其是复习阶段，我们应就一些常见的、重要的词、词组及句型加以反复训练，以加深印象，以避免思维定势的干扰。
三.汉英差异
英汉在表达习惯，思维方式等方面具有很多不同，命题者常利用汉英差异出题。如汉语的“参加”在许多情况下都适用，如参加会议，参加考试，参加解放军等，而在英语中则因不同的宾语用不同的动词，如: take part in the celebration, attend a meeting, join the army, take an exam, join in a discussion 例如：
12.– It’s getting late. I'm afraid I must be going now. - OK. ______ .（2004全国卷）
Ａ．Take it easy B. Go slowly C. Stay longer D. See you
13. The population of China is _____than that of Russia.
A. much more B. much larger C. many more D. many larger
14. I’ll come to see you if______.
A. you’re convenient B. it is convenient for you C. you feel convenient D. it is convenient with you
解题技巧
留心英汉表达差异 ,平时要多读﹑多比较﹑多归纳，尽量避免Chinglish。
四.形近义近词
把相似、相近的词语或结构放在一起作为干扰选项，若我们基础知识掌握不牢就难于区分。例如：
15. －Do you think the Stars will beat the Bulls
－Yes. They have better players, so I＿＿them to win.
A. hope B. prefer C. expect D. want
16. I’d like to buy a house—modern ,comfortable ,and____ in a quiet neighborhood.（2004福建）
A．in all B．above all C．after all D．at all
解题技巧
1）明确词意 所选答案要符合句子意思；
2）归纳比较 平时要特别重视收集归纳比较同义词、近义词和相似词的异同，牢记它们的用法。
五. 创设语境
命题人在题干中不明确将语言时间或空间背景标示出来，而是比较巧妙地隐含在句子中，稍不注意就会错选。例如 17.— Will you please repeat your idea
— Certainly. But I think it certain you
____ your attention.
A. don’t pay B. didn’t pay C. weren’t paying D. aren’t paying
18. — Which of those electronic dictionaries do you like most
— ____. They are both expensive and of little use.
A. None B. Both C. Neither D. All
解题技巧
1）身临其境，揣摩意图 特别是对付考查时态的试题更要将自己置身于所提供的背景之中，同时注意揣摩命题者的意图
2）认真分析题干里所隐藏的信息,把握上下文的时间隐含、语义信息等线索，还要注意文化差异。
六 抓关键词（短语）法,抓住“题眼”

A. was not B. has not C. were not D. had not been

Coming in a close second--and often wrongly mentioned as the most distant land--is Easter Island, which lies 1,260 miles east of its nearest neighbor, Pitcairn Island, and 2,300 miles west of South America.
The mountainous 64-square-mile island was settled around ther 5th century, supposedly by people who were lost at sea. They had no connection with the outside world for more than a thousand years,giving them plenty of time to build more than 1,000 huge stone figures, called moai, for which the island is most famous.
On Easter Sunday, 1722, however, settlers from Holland moved in and gave the island its name. today, 2,000 people live on the Chilean territory(智利领土). They share one street, a small airport, and a few hours of television per day.

Pssage 2 (典型例题
It was an early September day, cool and bright and just right for running, and I was in the first few miles of a 10-mile race over a course (路线) with a few high hills. Still, I felt energetic; despite the hills it was going to be a fine run.
Just ahead of me was Peggy Mimno, a teacher from Mount Kisco, New York. She too was running easily, moving along at my speed. The pace(步速) felt comfortable, so 1 decided to stay where I was; why pay attention to pace when she was setting such a nice one I'd overtake (追上) her later on when she tired.
So I ran behind her. The course headed north for five miles, wandered west for a hilly mile, then turned south again along a winding road. The race was getting harder. We had four miles left and already it was beginning to be real work.
Peggy overtook a young runner. She seemed to know him, for they exchanged a few cheerful words as she passed him. Their exchange worried me. You don't chat during a race unless you are feeling good, and Peggy plainly was.
Still, I was close enough to overtake her if she tired, so I didn't give up hope completely. We were getting nearer to a long punishing hill now and it would be the test. We were a mile from the finish line, so whatever happened on the hill would almost certainly determine who crossed it first.
As I moved up the hill, my attention wandered for a few minutes. When I looked up, Peggy was moving away--first five yards, then ten, then more. Finally it was clear that there was no hope of catching her. She beat me soundly.

【应试对策】
1. 时态语态:考生应熟悉普通高中《英语课程标准(实验稿)》中所要求的十种常用时态和被动语态的构成及用法。做时态、语态题时一定要结合语境,抓住时间状语和从属连词,还要注意主从句时态呼应。
2. 非谓语动词:要掌握不定式、分词和动名词的基本用法及区别。注意非谓语动词与其逻辑主语的关系,选择表示主动或被动意义的非谓语动词。
3. 复合句:三大从句引导词的选择各有诀窍:名词性从句引导词的选择采用从句中“缺什么补什么”的策略;定语从句关系词的选择需要“看先行词在定语从句中作何成分,作主语、宾语或定语用关系代词,作状语用关系副词”;状语从句引导词的选用关键根据句子的意思。
4. 动词(词组):考生应熟练掌握常用动词的用法,多看一些英文报刊,有可能多听一些英语教学节目,注意一词多意或多性现象,特别关注一些常用动词的用法。
5. 冠词:考生应掌握不定冠词表示泛指和定冠词表示特指的用法,还应熟知抽象名词具体化和具体名词抽象化,注意零冠词以及固定搭配的用法。
6. 名词:考生应掌握可数名词及其单复数(特别是外来词),不可数名词和专有名词以及名词所有格,特别注意同义词辨析及常用短语。
7. 情态动词:考生应熟知常用情态动词的基本用法,重点掌握肯定句和否定句中对现在、此时此刻及过去的推测用法,还有need和dare作为情态动词和实义动词两种用法。
8. 特殊句型:考生应注意特殊句型往往有其特定的标志,句子结构相对固定,因此答题时要善于捕捉关键词,然后根据积累的知识解题。
9. 虚拟语气:考生应掌握虚拟语气三个公式(现在、过去、将来)及其在倒装、错综条件句、含蓄条件句以及在其他从句中的应用。
10. 功能意念:考生应熟练掌握十一类功能意念项目和二十四类话题项目,特别注意英汉思维方式的差异,语言得体
命题常用手段
1 设置干扰 2 思维定势 3 汉英差异 4 形近义近词 5 创设语境
设置干扰
命题者有意把句子结构复杂化, 题干以倒装句，被动句，疑问句，省略句，或在句中加入插入语、使用强调句、从句、标点符号等形式，避开考生所熟悉的陈述句结构，来增加试题难度。
1. To all of you _____ the honor for the success．（倒装句）
A．belongs to B．belong to C．belongs D．belong
2. Time should be made good use of ___our lessons well.（被动句）
A. learning B. learned C. to learn D. learns
3.——What made her mother so angry ——____the exam.（省略）
A. Because she did not pass B. Her not passing C. She did not pass D. Because her not passing
4.Is this museum ____ you visited （疑问句）
A.that B.what C.which D./
解题技巧
（一）还原法
将不熟悉的省略句、疑问句、倒装句、被动句、等还原为熟悉的陈述句；也可将残缺的部分补出或将多余的部分删除。
5.Dorothy was always speaking highly of her role in the play, ____，of course, made the others unhappy.(插入语)
A. who B. which C. this D. What
6.The person we spoke to ___no answer at first.（定从）
A. make B. making C. makes D. made
7. The officer gave orders that anyone __a gun should be reported to the police station.
A saw take B. seen taking C. seeing take D. seen taken
解题技巧
（二）省略法
对于含有插入语或从句的复杂句子，如果不考查此部分，首先应分析语境及句子结构，找出并在省略插入语或去掉与选项不相关从句或短语的情况下，重新分析句子结构，复杂的句子结构就简单了；如果考察此部分，也缩小了语境。
8.The young mother saw her baby fall to the ground; _____ brought her heart to her mouth.（标点符号）
A. this B. which C. and that D. that
解题技巧
（三）结构法
对于复杂长句子，先划分主、从句，理清主句结构，确定试题考察哪部分，特别要注意标点符号的作用。
9.I’m sorry I can’t help __ the floor of the classroom.
A. sweeping B. swept C. to sweep D. to sweeping
10. Madame Curie，for _____ life had once been very hard， was successful later．
A.whom B.which C.whose D.that
11. Do you have any idea of the reason ____he referred to？
A．that B．where C．why D．when
思维定势
解题技巧
正确理解句意，避免定势思维。在学习过程中，尤其是复习阶段，我们应就一些常见的、重要的词、词组及句型加以反复训练，以加深印象，以避免思维定势的干扰。
三.汉英差异
英汉在表达习惯，思维方式等方面具有很多不同，命题者常利用汉英差异出题。如汉语的“参加”在许多情况下都适用，如参加会议，参加考试，参加解放军等，而在英语中则因不同的宾语用不同的动词，如: take part in the celebration, attend a meeting, join the army, take an exam, join in a discussion 例如：
12.– It’s getting late. I'm afraid I must be going now. - OK. ______ .（2004全国卷）
Ａ．Take it easy B. Go slowly C. Stay longer D. See you
13. The population of China is _____than that of Russia.
A. much more B. much larger C. many more D. many larger
14. I’ll come to see you if______.
A. you’re convenient B. it is convenient for you C. you feel convenient D. it is convenient with you
解题技巧
留心英汉表达差异 ,平时要多读﹑多比较﹑多归纳，尽量避免Chinglish。
四.形近义近词
把相似、相近的词语或结构放在一起作为干扰选项，若我们基础知识掌握不牢就难于区分。例如：
15. －Do you think the Stars will beat the Bulls
－Yes. They have better players, so I＿＿them to win.
A. hope B. prefer C. expect D. want
16. I’d like to buy a house—modern ,comfortable ,and____ in a quiet neighborhood.（2004福建）
A．in all B．above all C．after all D．at all
解题技巧
1）明确词意 所选答案要符合句子意思；
2）归纳比较 平时要特别重视收集归纳比较同义词、近义词和相似词的异同，牢记它们的用法。
五. 创设语境
命题人在题干中不明确将语言时间或空间背景标示出来，而是比较巧妙地隐含在句子中，稍不注意就会错选。例如 17.— Will you please repeat your idea
— Certainly. But I think it certain you
____ your attention.
A. don’t pay B. didn’t pay C. weren’t paying D. aren’t paying
18. — Which of those electronic dictionaries do you like most
— ____. They are both expensive and of little use.
A. None B. Both C. Neither D. All
解题技巧
1）身临其境，揣摩意图 特别是对付考查时态的试题更要将自己置身于所提供的背景之中，同时注意揣摩命题者的意图
2）认真分析题干里所隐藏的信息,把握上下文的时间隐含、语义信息等线索，还要注意文化差异。
六 抓关键词（短语）法,抓住“题眼”

A. was not B. has not C. were not D. had not been

The mountainous 64-square-mile island was settled around ther 5th century, supposedly by people who were lost at sea. They had no connection with the outside world for more than a thousand years,giving them plenty of time to build more than 1,000 huge stone figures, called moai, for which the island is most famous.
On Easter Sunday, 1722, however, settlers from Holland moved in and gave the island its name. today, 2,000 people live on the Chilean territory(智利领土). They share one street, a small airport, and a few hours of television per day.

Pssage 2 (典型例题
It was an early September day, cool and bright and just right for running, and I was in the first few miles of a 10-mile race over a course (路线) with a few high hills. Still, I felt energetic; despite the hills it was going to be a fine run.
Just ahead of me was Peggy Mimno, a teacher from Mount Kisco, New York. She too was running easily, moving along at my speed. The pace(步速) felt comfortable, so 1 decided to stay where I was; why pay attention to pace when she was setting such a nice one I'd overtake (追上) her later on when she tired.
So I ran behind her. The course headed north for five miles, wandered west for a hilly mile, then turned south again along a winding road. The race was getting harder. We had four miles left and already it was beginning to be real work.
Peggy overtook a young runner. She seemed to know him, for they exchanged a few cheerful words as she passed him. Their exchange worried me. You don't chat during a race unless you are feeling good, and Peggy plainly was.
Still, I was close enough to overtake her if she tired, so I didn't give up hope completely. We were getting nearer to a long punishing hill now and it would be the test. We were a mile from the finish line, so whatever happened on the hill would almost certainly determine who crossed it first.
As I moved up the hill, my attention wandered for a few minutes. When I looked up, Peggy was moving away--first five yards, then ten, then more. Finally it was clear that there was no hope of catching her. She beat me soundly.
There is an important lesson in that race. Women are thought to be weaker, slower and not nearly as skilled in sport. Yet as Peggy Mimno so clearly showed, the similarities between men and women runners are more important than the differences. I have run with a number of women, and I can say that it is often hard work.
1. What did the writer think of the race in the beginning
A. It would be hard work. B. It would be an easy race.
C. It would be a test of his strength. D. It would be a good learning experience.
2. What worried the writer when Peggy greeted the young runner
A. Peggy overtook the young runner. B. Peggy was running energetically.
C. Peggy was laughing at the writer. D. Peggy paid no attention to the writer.
3. By saying" a long, punishing hill"(Paragraph 5) , the writer implies that_______.
A. Peggy would fail to reach the hilltop B. men are more skilled at climbing hills
C. overtaking Peggy would be easy D. climbing the hill would be a demanding task
4. What lesson does the writer learn from the race
A. Women are as good as men in sport. B. Women are better at climbing hills.
C. He should have more training in a cross-country race.
D. He should set a quicker pace at the beginning of a race.
