第一步，注重夯实基础知识，注意不能脱离语境。其实词汇和语法部分的很多中考试

题，都是大家非常熟悉的题型，它就来自于教材和相关的练习题。因此，扎实掌握基础知识,

就能使试卷的基本分得到保证。但同时，我们也应当关注到：近年中考考题，越来越重视考

查学生的语言实践能力。因此，我们在做题的过程中应该树立整体观，注意语法知识在语境

使用中的合理性，学会真正地灵活运用。

第二步，重视练习精选，进行错题汇编。初三生的学业十分繁重，因此，大家尤其应

当注意精选练习，避免重复操练，避免时间和精力上的浪费。同学们可以对所有的知识点做

一个自我评估，重点训练那些不熟悉的、没有完全掌握的、易错的题型。真正弄懂弄通这些

知识点，做到举一反三，各个击破，全面掌握。

第三步，继续加强听力训练，尤其是对听短文的训练。听力的提高是一个渐进积累的

过程，同学们要坚持经常性的听力训练，并每天安排不少于20分钟，逐步掌握听力技能。

在平时训练时，要加强捕捉信息和加工信息的能力，同时，要训练综合处理信息的能力并逐

步掌握解题技能。止匕外，建议大家多听短文，要养成看着所给题目(TrueorFalse)听短文，

这对提高得分率至关重要。

第四步，加强阅读能力训练包括新增题型(短文填空)，尤其重视解题技巧的运用。阅

读部分在整个试卷中的占分权重逐年增加，中考阅读篇目的难度也逐年递增，这些都对考生

提出了更高的要求。因此，同学们要加大日常阅读训练强度;要有意识地扩大词汇量;要加强

对复杂长、难句的分析理解;提高阅读速度;尤其应当掌握必要的阅读以及完形填空的解题技

巧和解题步骤，在实践中领悟，归纳，提高，直至能够灵活运用。

第五步，加强推导性试题和主观性试题的训练。通过实际数据分析发现：同学们对于

推导性试题和主观开放性试题的解题技能还相当薄弱，得分率还很低。因此，建议大家在下

一阶段的训练中，多多尝试练习推导性试题和主观性试题，加强思维能力训练，以切实增强

分析推导以及综合把握信息的意识和能力，使自己在实际运用中，学会归纳，学会推导，学

会表达，学会总结。

第六步，扩大知识面，注意常识和英美文化背景知识和科普知识的积累。提醒同学们:

平时要做有心人，注意对生活常识、地理常识、科普常识，尤其是英美国家文化背景知识的

积累。这对大家认识问题，分析问题会有一定的帮助。

第七步，关注生活;关注社会;关注热点。基于二期课改的理念渗透和近年中考实际，

同学们在繁忙的学习之余，仍应适当关注生活、关注社会、关注热点;适当了解各类信息；

进行时文模拟写作操练，以此来拓宽视野，丰富思维，提高能力。在应试中，能够使自己更

易于理解，有话可说，顺利答题，真正提高“用语言做事”的能力。
