命題特點
英語學習活動非常復雜，然而它的本質(zhì)特征主要體現(xiàn)在兩個方面：1.語言規(guī)則系統(tǒng)的重構，即語音規(guī)則系統(tǒng)，語法規(guī)則系統(tǒng)和語義規(guī)則系統(tǒng)的重構；2.跨文化交際能力的培養(yǎng)，即在交際環(huán)境中正確，恰當?shù)剡\用英語能力的培養(yǎng)。
高考英語命題和試卷設計正是突出了英語學習活動的這一特點。雖然高考英語試題的命題已由“知識立意”轉(zhuǎn)向“能力立意”，但是語言知識在試卷中的地位、在語言學習中的作用始終不容忽視。知識是能力的基礎，對能力的測試不可避免地要結合對知識的測試，沒有基礎的語言知識，就談不上語言能力的發(fā)展。因此高考英語備考必須十分重視英語學習的知識體系。備考過程不應是對已學知識的簡單重復和強化，而應將中學六年所學的零散的、孤立的語言知識有機地結合起來，形成一個完整的知識體系，從而摸索出規(guī)律，過好基礎關，為語言運用打下扎實的基礎。
典例精析
在分析、理解和運作語言時，必須同時考慮英語句子的結構和意義兩大因素，先結構再意義，以確保正確地表情達意。
例1 It is dangerous to let the children who are _____ go swimming.
A. so young to B. so young C . too young to D. not old enough to
分析：本題若只看選項表面，很容易誤選C或D。但若看清該句主語為不定式短語，其中附有修飾賓語the children的定語從句 “ who are___”，則很容易發(fā)現(xiàn)該不定式的結構為 “l(fā)et sb. do” ，答案自然為B。
關注句子的結構和意義，必須注重上下文提供的語境及結構線索。
例2 ——Haven’t seen you for ages! Do you still work in Shanghai?
——_________. It is 2 years since I worked there.
A. Yes, I do B. No, I don’t C. Yes, I have D. No, I haven’t
分析：本句關鍵是正確理解 “It is 2 years since I worked there.”
“It is + time + since …”屬英語常用特定句子結構，表示動作自過去發(fā)生至今有多久。但該結構從句中謂語動詞的性質(zhì)決定其最終的意義。從句中謂語動詞為瞬間性動詞，則表該瞬間動詞發(fā)生至今時間多久；若從句中謂語動詞為延續(xù)性動詞，則表示該延續(xù)動詞動作終止至今時間多久. “ worked” 屬延續(xù)性動詞，該句意為 “我至今已有兩年沒在上海工作了�！�，顯然，本題的答案為B。
例3 ——Who’s made so much noise in the garden?
——______ the children.
A. There are B. They are; C. That is D. It is
分析：根據(jù)本題問句的結構, “who”是謂語 “has made” 的主語，則斷定答句中的 “the children”只能是句子的主語，即：The children have made so much noise in the garden. 這樣才叫“所答所問”�？梢姳绢}無需填詞便已完整。但結合選項，只有D項能達此要求。只是答者用強調(diào)結構形式來回答主語the children。完整的答句為：It is the children who have made so much noise in the garden.其它選項均屬“答非所問”。
例4 The chairman thought _____ necessary to invite Professor Smith to speak at the meeting.
A. that B. it C. this D. him
分析：本題中的謂語動詞 “thought”可擁有 “S+V+O+C”句子結構。該句動詞的賓語為不定式短語 to invite Professor Smith to speak at the meeting，而 necessary則為賓語補語，與賓語構成邏輯上的主謂關系；根據(jù)語法要求，須用形式主語 it來完成全句。
例5 I’ll go to London next week. Do you have anything _____ to your parents?
A. to take B. to bring C. to be taken D. to be brought
分析：由本句的結構可以得知，選項將要完成不定式作定語修飾anything。根據(jù)句意，動詞自然為take。就句子結構而言，A和C項都成立，但意義不同。A項不定式主動形式，表明該不定式動作是本句主語you所為；而C項不定式被動形式，則強調(diào)該不定式動作是除本句主語you之外的人所為，恰好符合本題的意義，即：你是否有什么東西要我?guī)Ыo你的父母？可見，C項便在情理之中了。
例6 ——It was three o’clock _____ we arrived at the village.
—— Oh, it was also at three o’clock ______ that arrived at the village.
A. that ; when B. when ; that C. that ; that D. when ; when
分析：從對話雙方陳述的內(nèi)容并結合所用的句子結構，可以得知，第一句中的it有實意，表示時間，其中 “it was three o’clock”為全句的主體，空檔選when引導時間狀語從句，表示我們到達的時間是三點鐘。而第二句的意義與第一句意義雷同，但注意到句中有at three o’clock,可見，該句中的it為形式主語，句子屬強調(diào)結構，以強調(diào)句中的時間狀語at three o’clock，自然空檔應選that。因此，完成整個對話便選B。
例7 Don’t stop trying . You’ll be sure _______ .
A. to succeed B. of succeeding C. of success D. about your succeeding
分析：“be sure”的組句結構既可為 “be sure to do sth.” 也可為 “be sure of / about doing sth.”. 但其意義不同。 “You’ll be sure to succeed. == I’m sure that you’ll succeed.”，即強調(diào)說話者(the speaker)的觀點；而 “You’ll be sure of succeeding. == You are sure that you’ll succeed.”，即 強調(diào)句中主語(the subject)自己的觀點。根據(jù)本題提供的語境 “Don’t stop trying”，顯然，A是唯一合適的選項。
例7 The policeman’s attention was suddenly caught by a small box which _____ placed under the Minister’s car.
A. has been B. was being C. had been D. would be
分析：句子時態(tài)語態(tài)是英語學習永恒的主題。本題考查從句中時態(tài)的正確選用。根據(jù)主句提供的語言背景 “The policeman’s attention was caught”（警察注意到）為過去時，表明“盒子被放在車子下面”是“在警察注意到”之前發(fā)生的動作，屬過去的過去，自然要用過去完成時，C項便在情理之中。
（注：本文中的例子，均是老師對高考的重新設計。）
探究規(guī)律
英語是一門十分注重結構的語言。句子結構不同，意義各異，如：
(1)He found the article easily （ S+V+O）
(2)He found the article easy. ( S+V+O+C)
本組句子一字之差，其結構和意義迥然不同。前句為S+V+O 結構，其中easily修飾謂語動詞，全句意為“他輕而易舉地找到了這篇文章�！�；后句則為S+V+O+C 結構，其中easy 為賓語補語，與賓語the article構成邏輯上的主謂關系，全句意為“他發(fā)現(xiàn)這篇文章不難�！�
備考建議
復習備考始終以句子為訓練和實踐的基本單位，緊緊圍繞句子的核心，即謂語動詞、句子的組合，即各類從句和句子的轉(zhuǎn)換，即非謂語形式這三大語法支柱來開展語言復習的各項活動，達到詞不離句、句不離文。
鑒于英語學習的基本特征，高考英語備考還應注意積累一定量的語言文化知識，以推動對句子乃至語段的結構和意義的準確把握和理解。
What he played on that occasion was no more than a Judas kiss.
本句中的 “ a Judas kiss ” 源于圣經(jīng)《馬太福音》猶大以親吻耶穌的方式出賣耶穌的故事。只要了解這一語言背景，則不難理解a Judas kiss== an act of treachery, 畢業(yè)背叛行為。 全句確切含意便一目了然。
2014年展望
必須指出，近年來高考英語試題的整體難度有所下降，其語言地道、語境仿真、不拘一格、講究實用，要求學生不死記語法，不死鉆怪題，而應注重句子結構，在語言的實用意義上下功夫。因此，高考備考中必須對句子的結構和意義予以足夠重視，以實踐原則指導高考復習，促進能力轉(zhuǎn)化。
知識的掌握和語言能力的形成要靠大量的語言實踐。多實踐練習，則熟能生巧，能力就會自然提高。在高三最后復習階段，時間很有限。備考要有廣度和一定深度，但反對題海戰(zhàn)術，反對無選擇地大量重復的機械練習題；杜絕一切偏、難、怪題，提倡精選精練那些設計嚴密、具有科學性、系統(tǒng)性、針對性的練習題，限時完成，保證質(zhì)量；題不在多，典型就行；題不在難，思考就靈。要通過練習及時發(fā)現(xiàn)問題和解決問題，提高分辨能力，掌握解題技巧。在處理練習時，不要只求答案，要進行多角度設問，使自己既要知其然，更要知其所以然。要通過典型題分析，培養(yǎng)自己舉一反三、觸類旁通的能力。在有限的時間內(nèi)達到最佳的復習效果。
