(1)中考英語復(fù)習方法：“七步上欄法”

［標簽：英語方法］中考網(wǎng)精華資訊免費訂閱

第一步，注重夯實基礎(chǔ)知識，注意不能脫離語境。其實詞匯和語法部分的很多中考試

題，都是大家非常熟悉的題型，它就來自于教材和相關(guān)的練習題。因此，扎實掌握基礎(chǔ)知識,

就能使試卷的基本分得到保證。但同時，我們也應(yīng)當關(guān)注到：近年中考考題，越來越重視考

查學生的語言實踐能力。因此，我們在做題的過程中應(yīng)該樹立整體觀，注意語法知識在語境

使用中的合理性，學會真正地靈活運用。

第二步，重視練習精選，進行錯題匯編。初三生的學業(yè)十分繁重，因此，大家尤其應(yīng)

當注意精選練習，避免重復(fù)操練，避免時間和精力上的浪費。同學們可以對所有的知識點做

一個自我評估，重點訓練那些不熟悉的、沒有完全掌握的、易錯的題型。真正弄懂弄通這些

知識點，做到舉一反三，各個擊破，全面掌握。

第三步，繼續(xù)加強聽力訓練，尤其是對聽短文的訓練。聽力的提高是一個漸進積累的

過程，同學們要堅持經(jīng)常性的聽力訓練，并每天安排不少于20分鐘，逐步掌握聽力技能。

在平時訓練時，要加強捕捉信息和加工信息的能力，同時，要訓練綜合處理信息的能力并逐

步掌握解題技能。止匕外，建議大家多聽短文，要養(yǎng)成看著所給題目(TrueorFalse)聽短文，

這對提高得分率至關(guān)重要。

第四步，加強閱讀能力訓練包括新增題型(短文填空)，尤其重視解題技巧的運用。閱

讀部分在整個試卷中的占分權(quán)重逐年增加，中考閱讀篇目的難度也逐年遞增，這些都對考生

提出了更高的要求。因此，同學們要加大日常閱讀訓練強度;要有意識地擴大詞匯量;要加強

對復(fù)雜長、難句的分析理解;提高閱讀速度;尤其應(yīng)當掌握必要的閱讀以及完形填空的解題技

巧和解題步驟，在實踐中領(lǐng)悟，歸納，提高，直至能夠靈活運用。

第五步，加強推導性試題和主觀性試題的訓練。通過實際數(shù)據(jù)分析發(fā)現(xiàn)：同學們對于

推導性試題和主觀開放性試題的解題技能還相當薄弱，得分率還很低。因此，建議大家在下

一階段的訓練中，多多嘗試練習推導性試題和主觀性試題，加強思維能力訓練，以切實增強

分析推導以及綜合把握信息的意識和能力，使自己在實際運用中，學會歸納，學會推導，學

會表達，學會總結(jié)。

第六步，擴大知識面，注意常識和英美文化背景知識和科普知識的積累。提醒同學們:

平時要做有心人，注意對生活常識、地理常識、科普常識，尤其是英美國家文化背景知識的

積累。這對大家認識問題，分析問題會有一定的幫助。

第七步，關(guān)注生活;關(guān)注社會;關(guān)注熱點?；诙谡n改的理念滲透和近年中考實際，

同學們在繁忙的學習之余，仍應(yīng)適當關(guān)注生活、關(guān)注社會、關(guān)注熱點;適當了解各類信息；

進行時文模擬寫作操練，以此來拓寬視野，豐富思維，提高能力。在應(yīng)試中，能夠使自己更

易于理解，有話可說，順利答題，真正提高“用語言做事”的能力。
