听说考试“故事复述”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：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
