上海市高考英语口语考试近六年参考材料

整体准备：

上海市高考口试目前并不计入总分。且口语水平主要取决于考试高中三年，甚至是整体英语求学期间的语言积累。很难在很短的时间内取得飞速进步。因此，最后阶段的口试强化训练需做到适量，有针对性。不要将太多的教学时间投入其中。

第一部分 短文朗读

第二部分 快速应答

考点及注意事项

第一部分 朗读 Reading(10%)

  测试学生的语音基础、意群停顿、语气转换、自然流畅的连读、失爆等朗读技巧。 这一部分要求考生朗读所给的文章，难度相当于高中阶段所学的相关英语课文。在考试中，屏幕上所显示的文章内容量多于规定时间内正常语速所能涵盖的内容，即无论朗读者的语速有多快，都不可能在规定时间内将所有内容读完。因而，考生只要按照正常的语速朗读，并将注意力主要集中在语音语调等方面即可，不必为了追求速度而将文章朗读的模糊不清，舍本逐末。在准备期间，要注意每个句子的停顿，不可读破句。即使有不认识的单词，也不要中途停下，而是按照自己的理解，凭语感将它读出来(其实这也是考查意图之一)。只要朗读连贯，基本上不会影响整体印象。另外，还有最重要的一点，即朗读时要从短文开始部分读。



第二部分 快速应答 Quick Response(10%)

  测试考生对功能性语言的掌握。

  要求考生针对所听到的情景在规定的时间内进行应答。

首先学生应搞清这题不是回答问题，而是对你所听到的句子作恰当的反应。这部分的难点是没有情景提示，考生必须在听到句子后的瞬间判断这句子应在什么情景下使用，其前后呼应的句子应该是什么。然后，再确定一个正确的应答句。在听到考题时，应搞清这个句子的类型：是一般疑问句，还是特殊疑问句；是陈述句，还是祈使句。对特殊疑问句应抓住：第一个词疑问词，这决定了你的应答句的内容。第二个词助动词，它决定了你的应答句的时态或语态。当然，其他的词也起了不同的作用，但相比之下，这两个词所提供的信息尤为重要。

第三部分 情景提问 Question Raising(20%)

  测试考生对所给情景中不同信息进行提问的能力。

  要求考生针对所读出的情景在规定的时间内进行提问，内容恰当，问句结构正确。至少有一句特殊疑问句，提问内容不能重复。

  既然题目中给你情景，必须从所给的情景中搞清几个要素：这个情景的主角是谁，谈话的对象是谁，该情景发生的时间、地点及内容等信息。在考试时，考生应先冷静地分析句子的主谓宾结构，不必去在意其中不认识的单词。先提问一般疑问句，之后针对主语、宾语等的who, what,which,或状语的我when,where,why,how等进行提问，尽量避开不熟悉的单词，做到高效而又精练。在提问中，只要注意符合情景要求，句子结构完整即可。另外，对同一情景，要避免提问重复。



第四部分 谈话 Topic Talking(30%)

  要求考生针对所给的话题，能连贯流畅表达思想，讲述自己的观点。谈话内容与题目有关且充实，语言结构和用词符合交际要求，语音正确。此类话题往往涉及到社会、家庭、学校、环保、体育、道德、网络等方面。这些都是与日常生活密切相关的或比较热门的话题。

 历年考试中，部分话题和第一部分的朗读内容有关。

从structure来考虑，文章必须要有beginning, body and conclusion。在beginning里要开门见山地提出该短文的topic sentence.在topic sentence中必须含有关键词。有了关键词后，则在body部分可以根据关键词写出support details。这是全部短文的重点，而且篇幅在全文中比例最大。如果全文只有10个句子，那么，这部分应有7~8句。最后一部分是conclusion，在结尾部分中你应再次重申你的观点，但不能将主题句作简单的重复。



第五部分 看图说话 Picture Describing(30%)

  考查学生是否能用英语按所给的情景来描述这4幅图片。

  要求考生针对所给的图片完整地进行叙述，所给的往往是四副连贯的图片，围绕一个主题展开。要求考生做到内容切题，语言连贯，层次分明，用词得当，句子结构正确，语音语调准确、自然流畅并有吸引力等。

这一部分的关键是考生首先要读懂图片，明确图片的立意，再进行描述。拿到图片后，应看清图片中的各种提示：除人物外，其他背景资料都应看清楚。往往除了人物外，图片还提供了故事发生的时间、地点等资料。图片下的开始句向学生提供了时态与故事的背景。需要注意的是：

  (1)如果开始句为一般现在时，图片的叙述也应以现在时为主；如果开始句为现在进行时，则图片以现在进行时与一般现在时为主。

  (2)如开始句以第一人称描述，则图片的叙述应用第一人称，如果开始句中提供一个名字(第三人称)，你对图片的叙述也应用第三人称。

  (3)搞清图片的内在关系，并且找出这一套图片的内含主题。

上海高考英语口试历届考生失误面面观

第一部分 朗读 Reading(10%)：

  (1)本题中，考生失分最多的地方是语音、语调，相当一部分考生读破句和读错字。他们急于完成朗读而忽视了语音语调。其实，在评分时，教师并不是将重点放在考生朗读的量上，而是在朗读的质上。考生可以不慌不忙地读，注意文章的停顿，读出调子，注意失爆、连读、语音的同化、弱读和重读等。尽管不能完成整篇的朗读，考生也不会失分。当然，这并不意味着考生可以以“惊人的”慢速度朗读。

  (2)以上提到的失爆、连读、语音的同化、弱读和重读等必须是在一个意群(意思群体)中体现，否则会出现读破句的现象。朗读技巧需要通过正确的指导和不断的操练方能练就。



第二部分 快速应答 Quick Response(10%)

  历年曾经出现“相互介绍”一类的述答题。一旦今年考试中碰到类似的题目，请考生千万不要将自己的大名报出，可灵活地为自己起一个英语名字。



第三部分 情景提问 Question Raising(20%)

  在此，考生一定要注意听懂或看懂原文，在确定其内容和要求后再作应答。

第四部分 谈话 Topic Talking(30%)

需要学生充分发挥自己的想像力和运用所学的知识对话题展开评论。要做到这一点，还靠学生平时素材的积累，最好的捷径就是从所学的课文中，从所阅读的文章中和所做的练习中收集素材。



第五部分 看图说话 Picture Describing(30%)

本题失分最严重的地方是离题和上下文不连贯。图片展现在考生眼前时，应认真看一看，明白其大意后再根据图片下方所给的开头语叙述图片。有些考生急于求成，开头语不看就叙述起来，这样很有可能出错。所以，考生一定要先听清和看清题目要求。

  (2)有些考生尽管叙述比较完整，也比较连贯，但语句单调，过于简单，这样也会酌情扣分，所以，考生要注意用些不同的连接词，丰富自己的语言。

  (3)常有些考生出现时态、主谓等的不一致问题，这有可能受到母语(汉语)的干扰或平时不注意，没有形成最基本的语感。其实，平时经常注意就不会出现类似问题

专项训练：

Part 1:

Part One: Read aloud the following passage. You will have one minute to prepare and thirty seconds to read.

British potato farmers were taking to the streets for the expression “couch potato” to be removed from the Oxford English Dictionary, for it harms the image of the vegetable. The British Potato Organization wants the Dictionary to replace the expression with the term “couch slouch”. Kathy Race, head of marketing at the Organization, said, “We are trying to get rid of the image that potatoes are bad for you. The potato has been criticized in the past.” The Dictionary says “couch potato” started as American, meaning “a person who spends a great deal of time watching television.”

One U.S. company said on August 10 that it wants to send two tourists on a trip around the moon at a cost of $500 million per ticket. Space Adventures Company, which has already sent two citizens on separate trips into space, says it has researched and identified more than a thousand customers, who are interested, with the necessary wealth for a moon shot as early as 2008. The trip around the moon would last between 8 and 21 days, depending on whether the travelers make a stop at the International Space Station.

To make an Olympic champion takes millions of young people around the world to be inspired to choose Olympic sport.

I’m delighted we have with us today representatives of the next generation. We’re serious about inspiring young people. And thanks to London’s multi-cultural mix of 200 nations, they also represent the youth of the world. Their families have com from every continent. They practice every religion and every faith. What unites them in London, their love of sport and their heartfelt dream of bringing the Olympic Games to our city.

Police are looking for robbers who stole valuable diamonds from the jewelry display at the City Center yesterday evening during the annual Gold Exhibition. The owner reported that a necklace estimated to be worth $1.5 million was taken by a young couple. A witness at the scene said that a couple in their early twenties caught her eye because they seemed too young to be interested in sun expensive jewelry. In her version of the story, the pair were dressed in clothing and hairstyles that seemed too casual for the rather formal atmosphere of the jewelry show.

If you’re not sure whether you want to say yes or no, then say you’ll give an answer later, and refuse to discuss it further. This gives you time to decide and to prepare yourself to say no if necessary. Use body language to give your words more authority: stand up straight, straighten your shoulders and look at the person. If you’re talking on the phone, stand up – it makes you feel and therefore sound more confident. If a request is reasonable but you don’t want to do it, then offer an alternative, for example, “I don’t have time on Saturday, but I could do it one night next week.”

People do get hurt in “adventure sports” and the most dangerous is climbing, which kills eight people a year. But it is not always obvious which activities are dangerous. For instance, two people die every year in hang-gliding accidents, but the same number are killed by badminton, whereas six people a year die in fishing accidents! So “exciting” isn’t always the same as “dangerous”. This is even more true when you consider the activities of everyday life. Many more people die due to accidents in the home than from sports of any kind.
