上海高考英语口试应试技巧

一．第一局部快速应答

此局部主要为考察日常生活中最主要的语言功能，在历届上海高考口试中其考点一般可分为12项，这12项为：

Greetings问候

AskingIntroductions介绍

SayingGood-bye辞别

MakingRequestsandGivingInstructions请求

GivingThanks致谢

AskingforPermission允许

ShowingAgreementordisagreement同意不同意

GivingInvitations发出邀请

AskingDirection问题

ExpressingGoodWishes祝愿

RequestingandOfferingHelp请求与帮助

MakingApologies抱歉

考生假设要高分，那么必须将这12个局部的相关表达，练习熟练，这样才能在实考中迎刃而解。例如：〔在实考中，考生听见〕

题目：Someofthelessonsareratherdull.

考生反响：这是一个考showingagreementor

disagreement型试题，因此马上在脑海中出现这一方面的准备答复用语〔已记熟〕

如：That’ssure/Iagreewithyou./That’sexactly./WhatIwas

thinking./Ithinkso.

〔补一句〕Idon’tlikethelessonsatall.

I’mtiredoflisteningtotheselessons.

结论：收集整理记忆日常生活中12类表达及相关内容是取胜该局部的关键。

二．第二局部提问题

道正认为这局部试题主要对给定的情景进行提问〔用特殊疑问句〕这局部应试关键在于划分给定句子成份，针对不同成份预先设计问题，实考中将中心词摸去即可。下面举一个用名词提问方式：

例：OnemoreundergroundlinehasbeenbuiltrecentlyinShanghai。

分析：本句结构可分解成如下几局部。

Onemoreundergroundline〔主语〕

思路：名词应含组成件，每一条line必有stop，因此提问：

Howmanystopsdoesthisnewlinehave?

思路：并且每一条线都有终点与起点，因此提问：

Whereistheterminalofthisnewline?

思路：第一条地铁线都有方位/方向，因此提问：

CanwegotoPudongbythisnewline.

其他思路：地点有无工作人员，司机假设干，车票如何

总结，这一局部只要将句子任一组成局部深入展开，寻找细节，那么解题方法极多。

三．口头表达

此局部占整个口试考试30%，是口试中的重点与难点，该局部应试方法主要关键在于将上海高考口试中的对应局部试题归类，然后事先可收集该分类的相关表达，便可取得高分。

根据上海道正学校对上海卷研究，一般可将试卷分成五大考点：1．家乡问题

Describeoneplaceofinterestinyourhometown.

Whatdoyouthinkoftheweatherinyourhometown?

Doyoulikelivinginthecity?Why?

2．有关社会问题

Whatdoyouthinkwecandotoprotectourenvironment?

Whatcanwedotomakeourcitymorebeautiful?

Whatdoyouthinkifeveryoneinabigcityownsacar?

What’syouropinionofkeepingadoginabigcity?Whyorwhy

not?

Areyouinfavorofsmoking?Whyorwhynot?

Whatdoyouthinkoftheproblemofgenerationgap?

Areyouinfavorofrunningredlight?Whyorwhynot?

DoyouenjoywatchingadsonTV?Whyorwhynot?

3．有关教育/学校/生活

Howdoyougetalongwithyourclassmates?

Whatkindofbookdoyouliketoread?Why?

WhichdoyouthinkisthebestwaytolearnEnglish?

Doyouthinkitnecessaryforstudentstotakeexams?Whyorwhy

not?

Whatdoyouknowabouttoday’seducation?

4．有关休闲与爱好

DoyoulikewatchingcartoonsonTV?Tellthereasons.

Whatkindofsportsdoyoulikebest>tellthereasons.

Doyoulikewatchingfootballmatches?Whyorwhynot?

Whatdoyouthinkisthebestwaytorelax?

5．有关人物的话题

Saysomethingaboutateacheryoulike.Whydoyoulikehim(or

her)?

Whoisyourbestfriend?Saysomethingabouthim(orher).

另外，这一局部也非常像口头作文，考生可按作文模式整理思路及模型。

如题：TalkaboutsomechangesinShanghaioverthepast10years.

思路：〔上海变化〕——衍化出：

1．浦东开发ThedevelopmentofPudong

2．南浦大桥NanpuBridge

3．地铁undergroundline

4．交通改善Traffichasimproved

5．市容变化Thecitybecomesmorebeautiful

6．上海博物馆/大剧院theShanghaiGrandTheatre/theShanghai

Museum

7．撤除旧房子pulldownoldhouses

8．过江隧道threetunnels

结论：此局部关键在于事先组织材料，实考时，对应答复即可

四．看图说明

这个局部关键在于6个W(who,what,which,when,where,

why)与1个H〔how〕，因此考生答复时就可按上述几个问题形式，组织自己的材料，然后合理给出解。

如下题：

解法：

第一步：〔介绍人称〕

ThemaninthepicturewasJohn,andhewasacomputerscientist.

第二步：〔时间〕

Oneday.(oneSunnyday)

第三步：〔行为〕

Johnwasdesigningprogramsforhisrobotandwantrobottoplay

chesswithhim.〔第一幅结束〕

第四步：〔行为〕

NowJohnandhisrobotwereplayingtogether.Verysoontherobot

won3gamescontinually.Thescorewas0to3.John,ofcourse,was

veryunpleased.Sohechangedtheprogramsandmaketherobotless

clever.〔第二、三幅结束〕

第五步：〔行为〕

Theyplayedagainandthistimetherobotwasdefeated.

第六步：〔总结〕

Thisshows,Ithink,robotwillneverbecomemorecleverthanmen

becausetheyaredesigned,madeandcontrolledbymen.

总结：道正强烈推荐考生事先按上述模型整理程序，按部就班，一切就OK

推荐模式：

1．人物介绍

2．时间//场景引入

3．第一步动作

4．转换动作

5．最后动作

6.结论评定〔发表意见〕虽然英语口试采取的是人机对话模式，但阅卷老师还是很容易从考生的口头表达中掂量出“听、说、读〞的根本功。口试与笔试最大的区别在于，前者需要考生在答题时投入更多的即时情感，因此，从这一点来说，更需要考生冷静、机智地对许多问题做出瞬间的判断和处理，从而给“幕后考官〞一个良好的印象分。

高考英语口试共分5个局部，而要使每一局部答题都能获得比拟理想的分数，既需要靠学生的日积月累、厚积薄发，也需要靠临场的发挥和摸透得分“窍门〞。

第一局部朗读文章

开考以后屏幕上出现了朗读文章，此时考生不要急于先读出声音来，而是应该充分利用所给的一分钟准备时间，大致地默读文章，理解文章的主旨，领悟其语意。在朗读的过程中要注意三点：一是声音不要过大或过小，尽量用最完美的语音和语调来读；二是掌握好节奏，不乱停顿，不读破句，语句连贯、自然、流畅；三是注意各类词形变化的发音，如名词复数、动词形式、过去分词的词尾变化等。

第二局部快速应答

考生在这个环节的应试时，特别要注意听清每一个问题以及其中的关键词。如问你“今天是几号？〞你就不能答复“今天是星期几〞。在听到给出的问题时，应首先弄明白这个句型究竟是陈述句还是祈使句，是一般疑问句还是特殊疑问句，然后作有针对性的答复。考生在应答时不要过分紧张，并要注意语境中的时态运用，学会机智答题。有些应答可不必作过于详细和完整的陈述，这样既可节省时间，也可防止“言多必失〞，如问你“Canyoutellmehowtogettothezoo?〞，你在想不出更好答案的情况下，答复“Sorry,Iamastrangerhere〞也不失为“妙计〞。

第三局部情景设计

既然是要求根据“情景〞自己设计问题，那么考生就得先弄清楚“情景〞中必不可少的规定要素，如时间、地点、人物、事件、原因等。

按历年的考试要求，考生所提出的两个问题，一个应是一般疑问句，另一个是特殊疑问句。如果考生两个问题都用的是一般疑问句或都是特殊疑问句，那就只能给一半的分数。而且，如果考生所提的两个问题的答案是一致的，“Howmuchisthecoat?〞和“Whatisthepriceofthecoat?〞即为同一个答案的两个问题，这样也同样只能给一半的分数。

第四局部口头作文

因为是小作文，所以就要求在说的时候要有开头、结尾和事情的开展过程。按要求，考生至少要说六句话。因此，考生一定要利用屏幕上所提供的材料，在准备的时间内把表述的语言和内容很好地结合起来，不要出现只说了两三句话就无法继续下去的状况。如话题“WhatdoyouthinkofthedevelopmentoftransportationinShanghai?〞，在表达时，考生既要说明观点，更要阐述事实，还要加以总结，同时在表达的过程中要注意语句间的逻辑性，如果能灵活地将所学过的经典句式应用其中，这就会出彩许多。

第五局部看图说话

对一个高中毕业生来说，对一组图片的内容用120到150字左右的篇幅进行描述，并不能算是很高的要求，因此考生应当至少说上七句话。

答好这道题应注意的细节，一是要在规定的时间内看清图片，二是在表达中一定要依据图片本身的内容来描述，三是要注意故事发生和开展的连贯性，四是要注意时态的统一。另外，图片上已写有开头的第一句话，考生切莫忘记应以此句话作开头。有些考生会对前几幅图作详尽描述，以致没时间完成后面图片的表达，或者卡在了某一幅图上某一个事物的单词上而绞尽脑汁，这往往会顾此失彼，得不偿失。------I’dliketoinviteyoutodinnerthisSunday,Mr.Brown?
