18、复述”备考指导(一)1关注提示，联想预测 在听故事前，阅读故事梗概和几个关键词，发挥想象，预先猜测故事内容。如：故事梗概：我的一次撒谎伤透了父亲的心，父亲决定走路回家，好好反思自己对我的教育。看着爸爸身心受到如此痛苦的折磨，从此以后我再也没有撒过谎。movie n电影late adj.迟到的关键词：Garage n车库lie v说谎pain n痛苦在预测阶段，可把故事梗概与英语关键词对应起来，快速联想并记忆关键词的意思，查看是否有自己不熟悉的生词。此外，还要关注关键词的词性和中文意思，有些单词有多个中文意思和不同词性，但考题中的提示是该单词在故事中所使用的词性和中文意思，如“lie”的意思有：
19、位于(动词)，躺(动词)，说谎(动词)，谎话(名词)，但在本文中用作动词，意思是“说谎”。结合故事梗概，可联想到作者“我”曾经撒谎，并给父亲带来了痛苦(pain)。2关注整体，把握故事大意第一次听故事时，要从整体关注故事大意，可适当作简单记录。例如听清楚故事的标题，标题通常对故事情节有概括性的作用；理清故事人物以及人物之间的关系；此外，还要理清故事的起因、经过、结果以及蕴涵的中心意思。第一次听录音时，切忌因小失大，切忌盲目几下整个句子或过多细节，以致错过其他故事情节。只要记住故事的大致内容，在复述时，即使不能使用故事原文的表达，也可发挥短时记忆的作用，用自己的语言重新讲述故事。基础思路点拨二如
20、何写人高考英语基础写作中的写人侧重人物的介绍，可以用第一人称(如写求职信)，也可以用第三人称，时态常常用一般现在时和一般过去时，具体的人称和时态要依据写作的要求来确定。写作过程中要注意以下几个方面的问题：1人物写作通常需要介绍人物的姓名、年龄、外貌、学历、经历、专业、爱好、特长、性格、事迹等多个方面，但英语基础写作需要严格按照写作要求来写，包括所给的全部信息点，既不能遗漏，也不能随意添加。2对题目所给的信息要进行适当重组，安排好写作顺序，突出重点信息。重点信息通常是写作的目的所在，比如求职要重点突出学历、经历，新闻报道要重点突出事迹，介绍自己的老师、朋友要突出他们的特点，等等。3正确运用描写人
21、物的词汇和句型。4注意运用正确的时态。描写人物的外貌、性格、兴趣等常用一般现在时，而描写人物的出生、教育背景、经历、事迹常用一般过去时。【实例分析】假设你是李华，申请到一家外资企业工作，你需要用英文给人事部经理写一封信，介绍自己的基本情况。姓名李明出生年月1981 年 8 月出生地广东省中山市学历19942000 中山第一中学20002004 广州大学计算机系2004至今 在一家计算机公司工作所学主要课程 计算机、中文、数学、英语、体育特长爱好游泳(曾获得过大学游泳比赛一等奖)，音乐写作内容写作要求1只能用 5 个句子表达全部内容；2信的开头和结尾已经给出，不计入总句数。Dear Manage
