一、 精读完形真题,长难句分析:
话题:国际大师通过象棋传授人生技能
During my second year at the city college, I was told that the education department was offering a “free” course, called Thinking Chess, for three credits. I jumped at the idea of taking the class because, after all, who doesn’t want to save a few dollars? More than that, I’d always wanted to learn chess. And, even if I weren’t excited enough about free credits, news about our instructor was appealing enough to me. He was an international grandmaster, which meant I would be learning from one of the game’s best. I could hardly wait to meet him.
Maurice Ashley was kind and smart, a former graduate returning to teach, and this job was no game for him; he meant business. In his introduction, he made it clear that our credits would be hard-earned. In order to pass the class, among other criteria, we had to write a paper on how we plan to apply what we would learn in class to our future professions and, eventually ,to our lives. I managed to get an A in that course and learned life lessons that have served me well beyond the classroom.
Ten years after my chess class with Ashley, I’m still putting to use what he taught me: “The absolute most important skill that you learn when you play chess is how to make good decisions .On every single move you have to analyze a situation, process what your opponent (对手) is doing and evaluate the best move from among all your options.” These words still ring true today in my role as a journalist.
长难句分析:In his introduction, he made it clear that our credits would be hard-earned.本句是一个复合句,句中代词it是先行词作形式宾语,代替真正的宾语that our credits would be hard-earned。
翻译:在他的介绍之中,他清楚地表明我们的学分不会轻易地获得。

三、 听力应试技巧:
高考英语听力测试部分在整套试题中占有重要地位。它要求考生在有限的时间内做出选择,没有“回头看”的余地。今天,Nancy带着大家回忆一下高考英语听力的一些应试技巧和解题的基本方法。
▲听前:读题目,划出重点词,预测人物及场景。这是听力得到高分最关键的。
▲听中:捕捉信息,速记要点,有的放矢,去伪存真(短文独白,首末为主旨句)。
▲听后:前后联系,综合考虑,一锤定音。一定不要改答案!
高考英语听力一般从以下几方面考查考生对口头语言的理解能力。
1.领略主旨大意,概括话题内容
这类试题在高考听力试题中约占2小题,它要求我们对听到的内容有一个整体的把握和全面的领会,抓住说话者究竟在说什么。任何一段对话或独白都是围绕一个中心展开的,有时主旨大意较明显,有时则需要归纳、概括。常见的提问方式有:
What’s the passage mainly about?
What’s the topic of the passage?
What are the two speakers talking about?
2.捕捉主要细节,确认具体事实
这类试题在高考听力试题中约占11小题。它要求我们听清、听懂与话题中心相关的具体信息,准确理解具体细节,如时间、地点、人物、价钱、数量、目的、原因、结果等。同时,还要求我们对所听到的信息进行简单的处理,比如数字运算、时间顺序、比较筛选、同义转换、因果关系等。理解具体信息有助于把握话题内容,领会说话者意图,这是听力考查的重点内容。
3.推测谈话背景,辨认角色关系
这类试题在高考听力试题中约占1-2小题,要求我们从谈话或说话的话题和语气来推断出对话双方(或说话人)的职业身份,彼此之间(或与他人)的关系,对话发生的时间、地点或场合等。常见的提问方式有:
Where does this conversation take place?
What’s the probable relationship between the speakers?
4.领会弦外之音,揣摩观点意图
这类试题在高考听力试题中约占1-2小题,它要求我们从话语中听出其中可能有的“弦外之音”,也就是揣摩说话人的意图、观点或态度等,常见的提问方式有:
What can we learn from the conversation/speakers?
What can we know/learn about the woman?
