同学们，“养兵千日，用兵一时”，你们辛辛苦苦地在初中耕耘了三年，马上就要面临人生的第一挑战——中考。也许你对知识掌握得非常牢固，但如何更好地发挥出来呢？笔者根据自己的教学实践提供以下几点经验，供你们参考：
一. 轻松应试，精心读卷。 考前要有良好的心理准备。在进入试场坐定后，要迅速调整好自己的心理状态，做到不慌不忙，不紧张。可多做几次深呼吸，把自己的心理调整到应试的最佳状态（适度的紧张是有益的，千万不要因为适度的紧张而变得更紧张）。试卷到手后，要快速浏览一下试卷上印的考试所需时间、共几页、几个大题等书面说明，做到心中有数。要细心阅读、看清楚，千万不要一拿到卷子就“一个猛子”扎进去，甚至连老师的重要提醒也不听。答卷一旦开始，可能就忘了提醒，以至“差之毫厘，谬之千里”，甚至会出现漏做一面卷子的恶果。当然，千万别忘了写上你的考号、姓名、学校等，避免产生不必要的麻烦。
二. 预览听力，合理推测。
在中考时，监考老师要提前5分钟发试卷。同学们在得到试卷后，千万别忙着做笔试题，应将听力试题快速地浏览一遍，以便了解题目要求以及所给的内容。浏览时，要针对不同的题目而采用不同的解题方法：
1.情景反应题要根据答语来推断出要问的句子，来提高解题的正确性。以湖北省黄冈市2002年中考试题为例，听力测试第一大题的第5题所给的选项是：
A. The same to you. B. Nice to meet you! C. Hold on for a moment, please.
阅题后, 同学们会想到可能要听到下列问句中的其中一个: A. Happy new year to you. B. Nice to meet you！ C. Hello! Could I speak to …?而即将听到的听力材料中正是自己已想到的C项: Hello! Could I speak to Mrs Green?一句。
2.同义句要善于找出句子的不同点，来明确听的侧重点。如天津市2002年中考试卷听力第一大题的第8小题：
A. I taught maths and English. B. I learnt English all by myself. C. I talked about my English.
该题所提供选项的不同之处体现在谓语和宾语上。解题时,只要抓住听力材料( I taught English myself.)中的taught和myself, 正确答案B项就出来了。
3.短文理解要根据所给的四个选项推断出短文的大概内容等，来提高解题的针对
性。如盐城市2002中考听力试题的第三大题(短文理解，保留原题号)是: 16. A. In spring. B. In summer. C. In autumn.
17. A. Because water is cool. B. Because water is warm. C. Because water is important.
18. A. Fewer than 10. B. Less than 10. C. More than 10.
19. A. Because they weren't careful. B. Because they couldn't swim. C. Because they were too weak.
20. A. Don't swim alone. B. Don't touch the sign. C. Don't think too much.
预览各选项后可猜测到该短文主要是讲夏季的游泳安全, 根据这一主题结合生活常识可预测到第16、17、19和20题的答案分别是B、A、A和A项。(附听力材料) Swimming is very popular in summer. People like swimming in summer because water makes them feel cool. But it's dangerous to swim in the wrong place. This year, more than ten people have died while they were enjoying themselves in the water, and most of them were students. But some people are still not careful in swimming. They often think they swim so well that nothing can happen to them in water. Summer is here again, if you go swimming in river, don't forget that better swimmers have died in water. They died because they were not careful, not because they couldn't swim. So don't get into water when you're alone. If there's no a swimming sign, don't get into water. If you remember this, swimming will be safer. Questions: 16. In which season is swimming very popular? 17. Why do people like to swim?
18. How many people have died this year while swimming?
19. Why did the better swimmers die when they were swimming?
20. What shouldn't people do while swimming? 总之, 运用以上解题方法来解听力题，既减小了听的难度，又树立了必胜的信心。

三、短文理解（每小题2分，共10分）
听短文A、B两篇，各听两遍，根据短文内容及问题，从A、B、C三个选项中选出正确的答案，并把答题卡上对应题目的正确答案标号涂黑。 A
Most people always like to collect things. For example, they like collecting（收集）stamps, books, pictures…. But my friend Mr Clock likes collecting clocks. He has five hundred clocks now.
There are clocks everywhere in his house. You can see shelves standing in every room. All the shelves are full of clocks.
Though Mr Clock is glad to do this, his wife doesn’t enjoy it at all. She has a lot of work to do every day. It is not easy for her to clean hundreds of clocks. She was also angry at the noise. Each clock keeps its own time, so she can hear clocks strike（敲、击）almost any time during the day and night. She says, “There is something even worse. I am never able to know what time it is with so many clocks around.” B
Tom sat in the doctor’s waiting room. On the chairs round the wall other patients were sitting. Some had coughs, some had colds, some had headaches. They all looked sad, except Tom who was reading an interesting story in a newspaper. Just then the doctor came in to say he was ready to see the next person. Tom got up and went into the doctor’s room.
Before Tom could say a word, the doctor said, “Now what’s your trouble? Lie down there and I will have a look at you. I’ll listen to your heart.” Tom tried to speak but the doctor stopped him and asked him to say “Ninety-nine”. Tom said it. “Now let me see your mouth,” said the doctor. “Open your mouth wide.” The doctor had a good look, and then he said, “Well, young man, you are not ill at all. There’s nothing wrong with you.” “I know there’s not,” said Tom. “I just came to get a bottle
of medicine for my uncle.” Questions:
19. What’s wrong with the people in the doctor’s waiting room? 20. What was Tom doing?
21. Tom didn’t have time to say a word when the doctor looked him over, did he?
22. Who was asked to lie down on a bed? 23. What can we learn from the story?
三. 认真审题，提防陷阱。
现在的英语试题既考查知识又考查能力，不认真审题，往往会落入命题人的“陷阱”之中, 常栽在熟题上。如扬州市2001年中考试题中有这样一道单项选择题： —What would you like, orange or coffee? —Neither, I prefer milk ___ sugar.
A. to B. with C. by D. in 许多考生看见该题，不假思索地就选择了A项。因为他们对“prefer…to…”这一固定短语比较熟悉，而形成了定势思维。如仔细审题，结合语境可知B项才是正确的。
再如，遇到这种题目：\"Which of the following is not true?\" 有的同学不注意 \"not\"，岂有不失分之理？中考中由于马虎而丢分者大有人在，考后追悔莫及。
四. 先易后难，丢卒保车。 做题时要本着“柿子挑软的先吃”的原则，从前往后逐个做题。碰上“拦路虎”，千万不要死盯不放，一定要沉住气，不可自己慌了手脚，不战自败；但也不要纠缠不休，白白浪费时间。最好先做一个记号，跳过去，采用“丢卒保车”的策略，继续进行。等你顺利地做出几个题之后，心平气和了或找回信心，再“杀回马枪”，往往会收到“柳暗花明”而恍然大悟之奇效。 五. 保持整洁，仔细复查。
目前各地中考都是人工阅卷，而“爱美之心人皆有之”，一份工整、规范、条理的试卷，往往会给阅卷老师一个良好的第一印象，常收到意想不到的效果，特别是书面表达题, 所以卷面一定要整洁。答完试卷后，还要从头到尾认真复看，查漏补缺，看有无漏题和串行错位等现象。对个别把握性不大的试题重新思考，进一步推敲，直到满意为止。
