中考英语试题分析
中考英语试题分析 一、通过对全卷的综合分析，试题特点如下 1、试题内容设计上很贴近教材的目标话题，如听力部分，语言知识运用部分、日常交际及写作，既检查了已学语言目标，又考查了学生灵活运用语言的能力。 2、试题关注了不同层次的学生。如，语言知识运用部分，面向了基础中等的学生，另外，学习技能题使得不同层次的学生能够有不同的发挥，体现了评价的多元性。 3、试卷较全面地考查了学生听、说、读、写的基本技能。通过运用各种题型综合考查学生对语言知识的理解，掌握及运用能力，如语言知识题，在语境中考查学生运用词汇及语法的能力，体现了任务型语言评价的理念。 二．试卷情况及简要分析 1、听力部分应该说听力得分率稍满意一些。听力部分重点考查学生是否能正确理解所听内容。听力失分主要原因是听短文填空这题，不少同学单词不熟练或遗忘，也有部分同学反应能力差，说明我们日常教学中听力训练还不到位。 2. 完型填空：主要考查学生的英语综合技能题型难度稍大，具有较高区分。重在整体理解，对个别单词词意的理解也很关键。 3. 阅读理解：重在篇章理解，注重考察学生的逻辑推理、归纳、表格分析，判断正误，及科普类演绎等各方面的能力，即考查了学生
对文章中心的理解、又考查了对细节的把握。 4. 任务型阅读的设题具有开放性和应用性，既能考查学生的阅读理解能力和语言运用能力，又对今后教学有较好的导向作用，同时考察单词释义，词汇考察，同义句改写，根据短文回答问题等，尤其是（C）任务比较基础，阅读完成文章结构分析，具体运用比较灵活。 5. 交际运用（A）七选五的形式考察学生交际运用能力，理解语境中的交际语言，（B））主要是考察学生对固定词语和句式在语境中的使用，以笔试的形式考察英语的口语交际能力，属于间接型口式 6. 书面表达，考察学生综合运用语言运用能力。 三、今后努力方向 1、加强《课标》学习，改进教学方法。英语教师应进一步学习《新课程标准》，增强新课程理念，改变教学观念，改变一些传统做法，认真钻研教材，弄清教材的编排意图，科学地用好教材，挖掘教材的内在本质，注重知识间的内在联系。 2、加强听说训练，提高听力水平。在日常教学中加强对学生的听力训练,让他们多听英美人士的录音,在课堂上多用英语组织教学,通过听读、听说、听写等多种形式不断刺激听的感官，提高学生的听觉灵敏度。鼓励学生大胆的使用英语，让学生通过体验，实践，讨论，合作，探究等方式，在自然规范的语音，语调的口语语境中进行口语交际，为他们发展交际能力打下基础。 3、加强阅读教学，提高阅读能力。教师要有意识地加强学生阅读能力的训练与培养，要多选用内容健康，时代感、思想性、知识性、

Are you a good receiver? It might sound like a funny question but it is an important one that each of us should ask ourselves.
Strangely, most of us are better givers than receivers. We give to our family, our friends and even charities, and opposite to what we might think, most of us are actually very good at giving. But receiving is another matter. We often feel a little uneasy when receiving, although it is not very noticeable. Even praise gets deflected（转向）when it comes our way. When someone praises us for helping him move or clean up the house, we will possibly say, “Ah, it was nothing.” When someone praises the coat we are wearing, we may mention how we bought it at a discount instead of simply enjoying the praise. Actually, the praise is a gift to us, and when we don’t receive it properly, we are dishonoring the giver.
Giving is easy, as there is much pleasure in giving, but receiving is an art that takes practice. To be a good receiver requires a sense of close relationship with the giver. It is always a pleasure for a giver to see the gift received in a pleasant way. And this is also the best way for a receiver to honor the giver and give him something back.
Many relationships are not so good not because people are not giving to each other, but because they are not receiving from each other well. We should receive the love, respect the praise, and give thanks every time giving happens. We should practice receiving all the pleasures that happen to us every day, instead of taking them for granted. Think of how many simple everyday gifts we are being given all the time: the beauty of nature, art and inspiring（激励人的）conversations. But are we truly receiving them when they happen to us, or are we busy with other matters, not noticing? We should master the art of receiving: accept the gifts life offers us and show our appreciation for them.
We are taught that it is better to give than to receive. But this suggests that there is something wrong with receiving. There is nothing wrong with receiving. It is better to give and receive. Let life shower us with gifts, pleasures, joys, surprises, both large and small, and let us take notice of all these things and accept them happily and thankfully. The more we can receive, the more we can give back, but giving more does not necessarily mean receiving more. We must remember it is harder to receive than to give, and try to practice receiving. This practice will benefit us greatly, making us become good receivers as well as good givers. 1. According to Paragraph 2, what do we possibly do when we are praised?
A. Honor the giver publicly. B. Show our pleasure clearly.
