高考英语二轮复习策略精选
高考英语二轮复习策略 英语卷无论是考试形式、试题结构，坚持稳定为主，注重基础考查，重点考查考生“在特定语境中语言运用能力”，即运用英语获取信息、处理信息、分析问题和解决问题的能力.始终不变的重点知识，考生应该将其列为复习内容，同时抓牢基础知识，不要一味做偏、难、怪题.现提供以下三大点备考建议供参考： 一、回归基础，突出对主干知识的复习 高考英语改革虽然从强调知识考查向注重综合语言运用能力转变，但是还应认识到能力要有扎实的基础作为依托.尤其是到最后冲刺阶段更要重视基础知识的复习.一模后，一些考生普遍都有这样的感觉：很多题目“一看就会，一做就错”.造成这种现象的根本原因在于对基础知识的掌握不牢固.只有扎扎实实地从基础做起，才能“一看就会，一做就对”.英语基础知识包括词汇、语法、句型等.词汇复习应做到从不间断、反复巩固.除了记忆和理解之外，尤其要注意常用词汇的使用和辨析，以及一词多义的掌握.语法复习要理清基本概念，着重复习主干知识.比如，动词的时态、语态、语气，非谓语动词、情态动词等都是高考常涉及的知识点.但切记不要在钻研语法的难点上花过多时间，英语语法不是数学公式，在不同的语境中用法就不同. 二、查漏补缺，强化专题训练 一模结束后，复习的重点要放在查漏补缺上.将做过的试卷整理后，建立错题档案，弥补知识漏洞，进行强化记忆和训练.比如，在建立错题档案时发现在非谓语动词、从句方面出错率比较高，就应该重
点复习这方面的知识.不要注重记多少题，重要的是记住老师在课堂上对这些题的分析过程.抄录资料或刊物上的讲解也是值得推荐的方法.到考试前再回顾、反思、比较、消化，以期达到遇到同类试题不再出错的目的.复习中要加强题型专项训练，在训练中提高解题能力和解题速度；尤其要重视听力训练，所选听力材料不宜过难，语速要适中.复习中应适当加强对重点内容的强化训练和题后分析，提高“考点识别、寻找已知条件、排错求证”的思维能力.训练快速阅读的能力，提高带着问题快速搜索信息，根据上下文提示进行逻辑推断的能力.多读一些原汁原味的文章，通过广泛涉猎，培养英语语感，提高对词、句、篇的理解速度和准确度.专项训练要多、模拟测试要适当. 强调阅读语速是语言实际运用的主要特征之一，一般应保持在60wpm左右，按照“高中英语课程标准”要求，高中毕业时甚至应该达到70―80wpm.在平时训练中一定要注意坚持阅读速度的要求.在真实语言环境中，所接触材料的篇章结构和语句结构往往是丰富多样的，需要通过自己平时的大量阅读实践掌握熟悉它们，考试中能够迅速突破，克服障碍，把握大意.选材中出现生词完全正常，平时培养处理词汇的能力，考试中才能应对所出现的各种情况，也正是真实语言运用中所需要的一种能力.阅读选材往往具有一定思想内涵，阅读中需要保持头脑清醒，在所提供的思维空间中捕捉观点与抽象概念，理顺思路，加深理解.训练形式也应该是精读与泛读相结合.不能一味地做阅读理解题，这样不利于培养学生的阅读能力.高考中很多考查项目都是以选择题形式出现的，但很明显，如果只用选择题来训练是不科学的.而在我平时教学和视导过程中，用大量选择题来“培养”学生语言运用能力的现象很普遍，需特别关注.另外，从运用语言的角度来看，所读材料为自己所不熟悉是完全正常的，应该让学生有此心理准备.尤其是英语语言文化背景鲜明的内容，需要凭借自己的阅读能力，读懂材料获取信息，解决问题，也正是成功运用语言的具体体现. 语言的输入决定语言输出，想写出更为地道的英文，必须通过听

2018届高考英语二轮复习阅读理解综合练十二4
阅读理解综合练(十二) A (2016·10浙江) Digital technology—email and smart phones especially—have vastly improved workers’ ability to be productive outside of a traditional office.Even so,most white-collar work still happens in an office.One reason is that,according to findings of a new survey(调查) of office workers conducted by Wakefield Research for the IT company Citrix,most bosses are doubtful about remote working.Half of the workers say their boss doesn’t accept it,and only 35 percent say it’s tolerated. Skeptical bosses will likely have their doubts reinforced(加深) by the same survey,which shows that 43 percent of workers say they’ve watched TV or a movie while “working” remotely,while 35 percent have done housework,and 28 percent have cooked dinner. It is true,however,that working at home makes people much more efficient(高效的),because it allows workers to take care of annoying housework while still getting their jobs done.It’s much faster,for example,to shop for groceries at a quarter to three than to stand in line during the after-work rush. The fact that such practices remain officially unaccepted reflects how far we haven’t come as a society from the days when we expected every full-time worker to be supported by a full-time homemaker. More broadly the Wakefield survey suggests that employers may be missing a low-cost way to give workers something of value.Sixty-four percent of those survey participants who haven’t worked remotely would rather give up some bonus in order to get even one day a week working from home.Under such circumstances,smart firms need to find ways to let their employees have enough flexibility to manage their time efficiently. 1.Why do some employers hesitate to allow remote working? A.They fear losing control of their workers. B.They want to stick to their routine practice. C.The y have little trust in modern technology. D.They are used to face-to-face communication. 2.What seems to be most workers’ attitude toward remote working? A.Doubtful. B.Favorable. C.Reserved.
