高三英语最后一讲

高三英语最后一讲PartOne:听力部分应试技巧：◆预测技巧：根据打印在试卷上听力试题内容（即问题及所提供选项内容）预测。如果是独白，一定要听好第一句和最后一句。◆识别关键词的技巧：●透露说话人身份的关键词。●透露地点场合的关键词●捕捉数字。◆速记技巧：许多材料中涉及数字，如年代、日期、价格、数量、并且会以基数词、序数词、分数、小数、百分数等形式出现，有的听力题中还设置简单的计算，所以要求学生熟悉各种数字形式并弄清其间关系，如：减价20%off;specialoffer,specialprice,25%discount,sale原价：regularprice,normalprice增长：10%increasein…,1/3climbinsth.,下降:10decrease/fallin….打七折ata30%discount，onethirdoffthenormalprice时间运用技巧：切记对于没有听清的题目（尤其是PartA中）采取及时放弃的原则，即随便选择一个然后把注意力集中到下一题，抢在下一题播放之前看完下一题的三个全部选项，千万不可以纠缠于已播放完的前一题。PartTwo:单项选择部分：答题应试技巧：认真分析句子结构;注意语境分析，克服思维定势。切记：语言是活的，而语法是死的方法：多用排除法；遇上疑问句、强调句、定语从句、插入语等要对题干进行简化和还原。单项选择经典习题：1.____aspresidentofthecompany,asmostcolleagueshadexpected,madeherparentshappy.A.Kate’sbeenelected
