题型包括单选、阅读、完形填空、语法填空、短文改错和作文，考试时间为120分钟。
一．试卷总体评价本次英语综合考试试卷，在考查学生基础知识的同时，重点考查了学生的综合语言运用能力，试题题量适中、梯度明显、突出语篇、强调应用，注重考查学生能力，难度较大，个别试题争议性大，学生分数分析如下：理科班1-12班：文科班13-17班：三、各题型分析1、单项选择本大题注重在特定语境下的词义辨析能力的考查，突出综合性和语境化特征。
考查内容有数词、冠词、动词、名词、形容词、副词和动词词组，情景对话，且按题号有序排列，布局清晰，考点突出。
动词和动词词组辨析、情景对话为考查重点。
错误较多的题是基础词性题目和情景对话题目。
存在的问题主要有：1．词义用法掌握不够，对常用单词的词义掌握仅局限于书本，不能适当地拓展与延伸；2．相近词义辨析能力不足；3．缺少对单词和短语在具体语境下的词语活用能力。
2、完形填空本次试题需要学生思考，应用性较强。
存在的问题： 1.学生缺乏相关生活经验，； 2.词汇量太少，影响理解； 3.脱离上下文语境，找不准所选词语在上下文语境中的线索； 4.缺乏跨文化交际意识，不理解文化背景知识。
3、阅读理解阅读理解部分充分地体现了考试大纲的要求，题材丰富，体裁多样，语言地道，贴近社会，贴近时代，具有浓郁的人文和社会气息。
既考查了考生对文章简单事实的表层理解，又要求考生能透过表面的文字信息来进行分析，综合和推理判断。
其显著特点之一就是加大了对考生对文章主旨大意、推理判断能力的考查，还出现了难度较大的理解文章结构的题。
暴露的问题有： 1.对文章或段落的主旨和要义把握不好。
2.猜测词义的能力不足。
3.对部分事实细节的理解以及推理判断能力欠缺。
4、语法填空语法填空一般是在语境中完成对话，本次考查关于体育新闻的相关用语。
