显。纵观近几年山西省中考题,通过听力、单选以及阅读等多种考查方式,每

年都会涉及旅游与交通这一话题。文章选材新颖,体裁多样,通常会以旅游与

交通为基本话题,延伸至环保、游学等当今热点话题。比如生态旅游、探险

旅游和文化旅游等。旅游英语表达以普通英语为基础,还有自身特点。一,行业范畴属性。在机场

有luggagetag,boarding,在宾馆有check-in,check-out等特定词汇。二,外来属写话题·文优性和创新性。内容大多涉及地理学与交通经济、餐饮服务、景点介绍、购

物、商务会议等与旅游活动有关的专业词汇和语句。三,文化属性。旅游英

语以语言为载体,向国外游客传播我国的历史文化、山川名胜和民俗民风

等。同时,中国人目前在全世界的受欢迎程度很高,因为我们带去了大量的旅

游消费。在旅行过程中尊重他国文化和礼仪,也是我们现在英语学科教学和

测评中应该重视的跨文化品质。基于以上特点,学习旅游英语不仅可以传承我国文化意识、建立文化自信,同

时可以了解他国文化和礼仪,进行中外文化比较,提升思维品质,成为具有中

国情怀、国际视野和跨文化沟通能力的社会主义合格建设者和接班人。二、表达、交流、共享(一)中考书面表达命题分析

话题类型

旅游与交通话题类作文在全国中考试题中出现频率较大。主要涵盖以下三类:1.描述个人旅游经历2.旅游景点介绍3.度假方式的变化及其原因4.旅游计划的拟定、准备及注意事项(命题示例)(2018·长沙)假如你是李华,于4月13日星期五这一天参加了学校组织的郊游活动。请你

以schooltrip为主题,写一则英文日记,内容包括参加活动的人员、集合时

间、郊游地点、交通方式、活动内容以及个人感受等。要求:(1)80词左右(开头已给出,不计入总词数);(2)可适当增加细节,以使行文连贯;(3)日记中不得出现真实的人名和校名。Friday,April13thItwassunnytoday.Wewentonaschooltrip.

1.本文是一篇记叙文。写作内容主要围绕我的郊游经历来描述参加活动人

员、集合时间、郊游地点、交通方式、活动内容以及自己在郊游过程中的

感受。因为是日记,所以注意使用过去时态,使用第一人称。2.重点是叙述内容要完整,符合日记标准。难点是通过描述郊游中发生的事

情来突出主题。

黄冈某中学的一名中学生李明,请你以“美丽的黄冈”为话题,向你的英国笔

友Tom介绍一下你美丽的家乡——黄冈。要点提示:1.黄冈位于长江之边,大别山之南;2.黄冈历史悠久,名人辈出;3.黄冈风景迷人,乡村秀美;4.人人参与,从小事做起,黄冈人正在努力地保护黄冈的自然环境;5.邀请Tom来中国,欣赏黄冈更美好的绿水青山,蓝天白云。写作要求:1.词数90左右(短文的开头已经给出,不计入总词数);2.根据要点提示,可以适当发挥;3.短文中不得出现真实的姓名及校名。参考词汇:lie(位于);DabieMountains;plant;cleanup;clearriverandgreenmountainsDearTom,Thanksforyourlastletter.Youaskedmeaboutmyhometown,nowletmetellyou.

Bestwishes!Yours,LiMing

审题要素

本文以说明为主。可分为三部分来完成写作任务。1.使用一般现在时按照前三个提示要点描述黄冈基本信息,注意语句之间的连贯性,切忌逐词逐句翻

译。2.发出倡议并叙述人们是如何保护自然环境的。3.提出邀请。4.因为是

信函,所以要注意语言描述要简洁明了。

Bestwishes!Yours,LiMing第一段使用lie,atthesouthernfootof,withalonghistory等具有特定旅游英语特点的表达描述黄冈。同时最后一句自由发挥,表达自己为家乡感到骄傲。第二段使用了一般现在时和现在进行时描述我们现在如何保护黄冈的自然环境。较好的表达有:asmanyas...,playaroleindoingsth.,takeaction。第三段共四句话。首先通过问句Wouldyouliketo...?向Tom发出诚挚邀请。随后描述Tom在黄冈的活动和表达对Tom来的美好愿望。(四)考场作文练笔(2018·四川成都)假如你是图中女孩,你与家人于4月29日共度周日。请根据
