2016高考答案全国卷英语答案

2016高考答案全国卷英语答案

【篇一：2016年高考全国1卷英语试题(解析版)】

评：2016年高考英语新课标i卷试题整体难度与往年大体相同。其

中，阅读理解体裁多样，有记叙文、说明文等，侧重考查学生的细

节理解能力和推理判断能力，缺少了历年来的应用文阅读。完形填

空仍是夹叙夹议文，着重考查实词在语篇中的准确运用，难度适中。

语法填空和短文改错涉及到动词，形容词，名词，等常见考点，充

分考查了学生对篇章解读以及对语境和语法知识的掌握。书面表达

是学生熟悉的书信文体，话题接近学生生活，人人有话可说，有感

而发。给考生提供了充分的拓展空间，具有开放性，难度较低。

注意事项：

1.答题前，先将自己的姓名、准考证号填写在试题卷和答题卡上，

并将准考证号条形码粘贴在答题卡上的指定位置。用2b铅笔将答题

卡上试卷类型a后的方框涂黑。

2.选择题的作答：每小题选出答案后，用2b铅笔把答题卡上对应题

目的答案标号涂黑，写在试题卷、草稿纸和答题卡上的非答题区域

均无效。

3.非选择题的作答：用签字笔直接答在答题卡上对应的答题区域内。

写在试题卷、草稿纸和答题卡上的非答题区域均无效。

4.考试结束后，请将本试题卷和答题卡一并上交。
