31、长难句的处理和分析能力。把握语境和逻辑。综合应用能力。连贯思维能力。语法习惯表达。复习重点：多掌握一些固定搭配，包括固定短语和习惯用语等，如：do damage to，take advantage of，kill time，make way。词语辨析表面上是语境中词语的语意选择，其实是考查词汇的运用能力。熟练的语法知识，主要包括从句的引导词、主谓一致、名词或代词的格或数、非谓语动词的用法、平行结构、倒装结构、强调句型、情态动词、虚拟语气、动词时态和语态等。尽管近年来单纯考查语法知识的题很少，但熟练的语法知识不但可以有助于快速理解文章的句子结构和大意，对解题也很有帮助。注意前后语境，培养结合全文
32、结构和中心思想，根据常识和上下文提供的信息进行理解、分析和推理的能力；熟悉前、后制性设空和语篇设空的特点。(所谓后制性设空，是指设空的答案由未读过的下文决定；如果设空的答案由已读过的上文决定，则为前制性设空；需要综合上下文而定的答案，则为语篇性设空。完形填空的设空答案有的由一个句子决定，有的由相邻不远的句子决定，还有的则由语篇内容综合决定。)注意行文逻辑。要加强对上下文逻辑关系的理解，如转折关系、让步关系、因果关系、递进关系、增补关系、比较关系、对比关系等，以及对转换词语的运用能力的培养。掌握几种实用的解题方法。要学会根据上下文的同义词线索、环境线索、对比线索、因果线索、顺序线索等进行分析判断

39、k down(机器，车辆等)坏了，(计划)失败，(身体)垮了，(谈话)中断了，分解(物理、化学变化)。break up驱散，分解(物理变化)。breakoff打断，中断。break away from突然逃掉，脱离，改掉(习惯)。break in强行闯入，打岔。break into破门而入。break out爆发。预测2：一些形容词、副词的用法 预测根据：形容词、副词的规范用法，是大多数考生已掌握的内容。但是有些形容词或副词需要特别注意和记忆。这些都是高考要涉及到的考点和布点。 命题角度预测：形容词、副词的一些用法，在高考的单项选择、完形填空或短文改错中都有可能考到，一般要求考生注意以下几个方
40、面的内容：(1)英语中有些与形容词同形的副词和形容词加一ly变成副词时意思大不一样， eg：dear高价地，dearly深深地；hard努 力地，hardly几乎不；high高，highly非常；just刚才，justly公正地；late迟，lately近来；most最，mostly主要地；near接近，nearly几乎；close接近，closely紧密地，紧紧地；direct直线地，不绕圈子地，directly直接地，立即，马上。(2)有些副词和形容词的词形一样，但意思则大不一样， eg：clean径直地，完全地；dead突然地，安全地；pretty相当地，非常；right合适地，马上，安
41、全；sharp准时地。(3)有些以一ly结尾的词实际上是形容词， eg：deadly致命的；lonely孤独的；friendly友好的；lovely可爱的；lively生动的；likely可能的。(4)有些形容词作表语和定语用时的意思不一样， eg：certain某个(定语)，确信的(表语)；present现在的(定语)，出席的，在场的(表语)；late已故的(定语)，迟的(表语)；i11坏的(表语)，有病的(表语)。(5)有些形容词和副词具有固定的搭配， eg：This book is well(很)worth reading(这本书很值得一读。)He was sleeping sound(
42、熟睡)(他正在熟睡中。)It is raining heavily(很大) (雨下得很大。)It is quite(很)impossible(这是非常不可能的。)预测3：if在虚拟语气中的省略处理 预测根据：在虚拟语气中。if引导的条件句中有were，should或had时，可以省略f而把这些词放在主句前面构成主谓倒装。这一点是与倒装相交叉的，因此务必引起考生注意。 命题角度预测；虚拟语气在高考考纲中无明确要求掌握，所以if引导的条件句省略引起主谓倒装这一点在高考的阅读理解部分出现的可能性最大。 eg：Had you come earlier(一lf youhad come earlier)，
43、you would have seen him(如果你早点到，你就会见到他了。) Should it rain(=If it should rain)tomorrow。1 would stay at home(万一明天下雨，我就呆在家里。) Were I you(一If 1 were you)，1 wouldnt do that(如果我是你，我不会做那事。)预测4：It remains to be done句型 预测根据：It remains to be don6句型表示“留待以后去说/做”，是英语交际中的一个常用句型，也是近几年高考题的一个命题热点。 命题角度预测：It remains to
44、 be done句型在高考的单项选择中出现的几率最大，另外在听力测试部分出现时，要从中体会出说话者所表达的意思。 eg：He is feeling well now，but whether he can get over the disease remains to be seen(现在他好点了，但他的病能否治愈，还有待观察。)从说话者的表达上可以看出：他是否会克服疾病还不确定。预测5：话题预测 本单元的中心话题是“发明”，课文始终围绕这一主题展开。具体涉及“科学技术发展”、“人的思维”、“思维的品质”、“对发明的新认识”等。高考题与本话题有关的题目会在阅读部分出现，以说明文的形式介绍某一科技
45、领域的发明或发现。这一类型的文章对考生来说是个难点。要注意从整体上和道理上进行推敲和判断。二、考题预测 备考1测试考点 1 -Are you of the nervousness on him? -Yes. He is more nervous today.
