How I Turned to Be Optimistic

I began to grow up that winter night when my parents and I were returning from my aunt's house, and my mother said that we might soon be leaving for America. We were on the bus then. I was crying, and some people on the bus were turning around to look at me. I remember that I could not bear the thought of never hearing again the radio program for school children to which I listened every morning.

I do not remember myself crying for this reason again. In fact, I think I cried very little when I was saying goodbye to my friends and relatives. When we were leaving I thought about all the places I was going to see-—the strange and magical places I had known only from books and pictures. The country I was leaving never to come back was hardly in my head then.

The four years that followed taught me the importance of optimism, but the idea did not come to me at once. For the first two years in New York I was really lost—having to study in three schools as a result of family moves. I did not quite know what I was or what I should be. Mother remarried, and things became even more complex for me. Some time passed before my stepfather and I got used to each other. I was often sad, and saw no end to "the hard times."

My responsibilities in the family increased a lot since I knew English better than everyone else at home. I wrote letters, filled out forms, translated at interviews with Immigration officers, took my grandparents to the doctor and translated there, and even discussed telephone bills with company representatives.

From my experiences I have learned one important rule: almost all common troubles eventually go away! Something good is certain to happen in the end when you do not give up, and just wait a little! I believe that my life will turn out all right, even though it will not be that easy.

56. How did the author get to know America?

A. From her relatives. B. From her mother.

C. From books and pictures. D. From radio programs.

57. Upon leaving for America the author felt_______.

A. confused B. excited

C. worried D amazed

A. often lost her way B. did not think about her future

C. studied in three different schools D got on well with her stepfather

59. What can we learn about the author from Paragraph 4?

A. She worked as a translator.

B. She attended a lot of job interviews.

C. She paid telephone bills for her family.

D She helped her family with her English.

60. The author believes that______.

D. good things will happen if one keeps trying

Dear Friend,

The recent success of children's books has made the general public aware that there's a huge market out there.

And there's a growing need for new writers trained to create the $3 billion worth of children's books bought each year ... plus stories and articles needed by over 650 publishers of magazines for children and teenagers.

Who are these needed writers? They're ordinary folks like you and me.

But am I good enough?

I was once where you might be now. My thoughts of writing had been pushed down by self-doubt, and I didn't know where to turn for help.

Then, I accepted a free offer from the Institute to test my writing aptitude(潜能), and it turned out to be the inspiration I needed.

The promise that paid off

The Institute made the same promise to me that they will make to you, if you show basic writing ability:

You will complete at least one manuscript(手稿) suitable to hand in to a publisher by the time you finish our course.

I really didn't expect any publication before I finished the course, but that happened. I sold three stories. And I soon discovered that was not unusual at the Institute.

Since graduation, I have authored 34 nationally published children's books and over 300 stories and articles.

Free test and brochure

We offer a free aptitude test and will send you a copy of our brochure describing our recognized home-study courses on the basis of one-on-one training.

Realize your writing dream today. There's nothing sadder than a dream delayed until it fades forever.

Sincerely,

Kristi Holl, Instructor

Institute of Children's Literature

61. From the first three paragraphs, we learn that_____.

A. children's books are usually bestsellers

B. publishers are making $3 billion each year

62. When finishing the course, you are promised to_____.

A. be a successful publisher

B. become a confident editor

C. finish one work for publication

D. get one story or article published

63. Kristi Holl mentions her experience mainly to_____.

C. give her advice on course preparation

D. show she sold more stories than articleC

How Room Designs Affect Our Work and Feelings

Architects have long had the feeling that the places we live in can affect our thoughts, feelings and behaviors. But now scientists are giving this feeling an empirical(经验的，实证的) basis. They are discovering how to design spaces that promote creativity, keep people focused and lead to relaxation.

Researches show that aspects of the physical environment can influence creativity. In 2007, Joan Meyers-Levy at the University of Minnesota, reported that the height of a room's ceiling affects how people think. Her research indicates that higher ceilings encourage people to think more freely, which may lead them to make more abstract connections. Low ceilings, on the other hand, may inspire a more detailed outlook.

In additions to ceiling height, the view afforded by a building may influence an occupant's ability to concentrate. Nancy Wells and her colleagues at Cornell University found in their study that kids who experienced the greatest increase in greenness as a result of a family move made the most gains on a standard test of attention.

Using nature to improve focus of attention ought to pay off academically, and it seems to, according to a study led by C. Kenneth Tanner, head of the School Design & Planning Laboratory at the University of Georgia. Tanner and his team found that students in classrooms with unblocked views of at least 50 feet outside the window had higher scores on tests of vocabulary, language arts and maths than did students whose classrooms primarily overlooked roads and parking lots.

Recent study on room lighting design suggests than dim(暗淡的) light helps people to loosen up. If that is true generally, keeping the light low during dinner or at parties could increase relaxation. Researchers of Harvard Medical School also discovered that furniture with rounded edges could help visitors relax.

So far scientists have focused mainly on public buildings. "We have a very limited number of studies, so we're almost looking at the problem through a straw(吸管)," architect David Allison says. "How do you take answers to very specific questions and make broad, generalized use of them? That's what we're all struggling with."

64. What does Joan Meyers-Levy focus on in her research?

A. Light. B. Ceilings. C. Windows. D. Furniture.

65. The passage tells us that ______.

A. the shape of furniture may affect people's feelings

B. lower ceilings may help improve students' creativity

C. children in a dim classroom may improve their grades

D. students in rooms with unblocked views may feel relaxed

66. The underlined sentence in the last paragraph probably means that ______.

A. the problem is not approached step by step

B. the researches so far have faults in themselves

C. the problem is too difficult for researchers to detect

D. research in this area is not enough to make generalized patterns

67. Which of the following shows the organization of the passage?

CP: Central Point P: Point SP: Sub-point(次要点) C: Conclusion

D

When students and parents are asked to rate subjects according to their importance, the arts are unavoidably at the bottom of the list. Music is nice, people seem to say, but not important. Too often it is viewed as mere entertainment, but certainly not an education priority(优先). This view is shortsighted. In fact, music education is beneficial and important for all students.

Music tells us who we are. Because music is an expression of the beings who create it, it reflects their thinking and values, as well ad the social environment it came influence that George Gershwin and other musicians introduced into their music is obviously American because it came from American musical traditions. Music expresses our character and values. It gives us identity as a society.

Music provides a kind of perception(感知)that cannot be acquired any other way. Science can explain how the sun rises and sets. The arts explore the emotive(情感的)meaning of the same phenomenon. We need every possible way to discover and respond to our world for one simple but powerful reason: No one way can get it all.

The arts are forms of thought as powerful in what they communicate as mathematical and scientific symbols. They are ways we human beings “talk” to each other. They are the language of civilization through which we express our fears, our curiosities, our hungers, our discoveries, our hopes. The arts are ways we give form to our ideas and imagination so that they can be shared with others. When we do not give children access to an important way of expressing themselves such as music, we take away from them the meanings that music expresses.

Science and technology do not tell us what it means to be human. The arts do. Music is an important way we express human suffering, celebration, the meaning and value of peace and love.

So music education is far more necessary than people seem to realize.

68. According to Paragraph 1, students

A. regard music as a way of entertainment

B. disagree with their parents on education

C. view music as an overlooked subject

D. prefer the arts to science

69. In Paragraph 2, the author uses jazz an example to

A. compare it with rock music

B. show music identifies a society

C. introduce American musical traditions

D. prove music influences people’s lifestyles

70. According to the passage, the arts and science .

A. approach the world from different angles

B. explore different phenomena of the world

C express people’s feelings in different ways

D. explain what it means to be human differently

71. What is the main idea of the passage?

A. Music education deserves more attention.

B. Music should be of top education priority.

C. Music is an effective communication tool.

D. Music education makes students more imaginative.

E

Camping wild is a wonderful way to experience the natural world and ,at its best, it makes little environmental influence. But with increasing numbers of people wanting to escape into the wilderness, it is becoming more and more important to camp unobtrusively(不引人注目地)and leave no mark.

Wild camping is not permitted in many places, particularly in crowded lowland Britain. Wherever you are, find out about organizations responsible for managing wild spaces, and contact them to find out their policy on camping and shelter building. For example, it is fine to camp wild in remote parts of Scotland, but in England you must ask the landowner’s permission, except in national parks.

Camping is about having relaxation, sleeping outdoors, experiencing bad weather, and making do without modern conveniences. A busy, fully-equipped campsite(野营地)seems to go against this, so seek out smaller, more remote places with easy access to open spaces and perhaps beaches. Better still, find a campsite with no road access: walking in makes a real adventure.

Finding the right spot to camp is the first step to guaranteeing a good night’s sleep. Choose a campsite with privacy and minimum influence on others and the environment. Try to use an area where people have obviously camped before rather than creating a new spot. When camping in woodland, avoid standing dead trees, which may fall on a windy night. Avoid animal runs and caves, and possible homes of biting insects. Make sure you have most protection on the windward side. If you make a fire, do so downwind of your shelter. Always consider what influence you might have on the natural world. Avoid damaging plants. A good campsite is found, not made—changing it should be unnecessary.

72. You needn’t ask for permission when camping in .

A. national parks in England B. most parts of Scotland

C. crowded lowland Britain D. most parts of England

73.The author thinks that a good campsite is one .

A. with easy access B. used previously

C with modern conveniences D far away from beaches

74. The last paragraph mainly deals with

A. protecting animals B building a campfire

C camping in woodland D finding a campsite with privacy

75 The passage is mainly about

A the protection of campsites B the importance of wild camping

C the human influence on campsites D the dos and don’ts of wild camping

2010年高考英语北京卷 - 阅读理解A - Goldie’s Secret（戈尔迪的秘密）

2022年全国高考英语科目考试落下帷幕。“高考英语”“李华写信了吗”等话题随之登上微博热搜榜。高考英语考试结束后，中国人民大学附属中学考点的多名考生向记者表示，今年北京高考英语卷的题型、试题难度都很常规，整场考试答题过程很顺利。今年北京高考英语卷的大作文仍然是李华写信。

记者在考点外随机采访的多名考生反映，“今年高考英语北京卷的不算难”“英语试卷感觉比做题的数学简单多了”“英语试题都比较常规，题型、难度跟平时考试都差不多，英语作文难度也不大。”

现场还有一男考生告诉记者，今年高考英语北京卷的作文里又出现了高考英语作文中的常客“李华”。今年的作文是，李华要写一封邀请信，邀请Jim为班级开展一场线上的英语写作交流活动。据这名考生介绍，“这几年受疫情影响，学校各种线上活动很多。平时老师布置的作业，包括自己考前做的作文练习时，都写过跟今年高考类似的作文，感觉自己像是押中了题。”

2022年高考英语试题在命制过程中严格依照国家课程标准和高校人才选拔要求，优化试题呈现方式，加强对关键能力和学科素养的考查，引导学生能用、会用、用好课标范围内的语言知识，避免超标、超前学习，避免死记硬背和机械刷题，切实减轻学生学习负担。

2015年北京高考英语试卷难不难，难度系数解读点评答案解析

She turned up at the doorstep of my house in Cornwall. No way could I have sent her away. No way, not me anyway. Maybe someone had kicked her out of their car the night before. "We’re moving house.” "No space for her any more with the baby coming." "We never really wanted her, but what could we have done? She was a present." People find all sorts of excuses for abandoning an animal. And she was one of the most beautiful dogs I had ever seen.

她出现在我康沃尔的家门口，我不能把她送走。不能，反正不能是我，也许昨晚有人把她从车里踢了出来。“我们要搬家“，“孩子要来，我们没地方养她了”，”我们从来没有真的想养她，但我们能做些什么呢？她是一份礼物“，人们为遗弃动物寻找各种各样的借口。她是我见过的最漂亮的狗之一。

I called her Goldie. If I had known what was going to happen I would have given her a more creative name. She was so unsettled during those first few days. She hardly ate anything and had such an air of sadness about her. There was nothing I could do to make her happy, it seemed. Heaven knows what had happened to her at her previous owner’s. But eventually at the end of the first week she calmed down. Always by my side, whether we were out on one of our long walks or sitting by the fire.

我称她戈尔迪，如果我能知道会发生什么，我应该会给她起个更有创意的名字。头几天她心神不定，几乎什么也没吃，愁眉苦脸。看来我没办法让她高兴，天知道她在前主人家里发生了什么事。但终于在第一周结束时，她安静了下来。无论我们出去长距离散步还是坐在火炉旁，她都会一直在我身边。

That’s why it was such a shock when she pulled away from me one day when we were out for a walk. We were a long way from home, when she started barking and getting very restless. Eventually I couldn’t hold her any longer and she raced off down the road towards a farmhouse in the distance as fast as she could.

这就是为什么有一天我们出去散步，她从我身边走开时，我感到非常震惊的原因。我们离家很远，这时她开始吠叫，变得非常不安。最后，我再也控制不住她了，她飞快地沿着公路朝远处的一个农舍跑去。

By the time I reached the farm I was very tired and upset with Goldie. But when I saw her licking the four puppies I started to feel sympathy towards them. "We didn’t know what had happened to her," said the woman at the door. "I took her for a walk one day, soon after the puppies were born, and she just disappeared." "She must have tried to come back to them and got lost," added a boy from behind her.

当我到达农场时，我对戈尔迪感到非常疲倦和不安。但是当我看到她在舔四只小狗时我开始同情他们了。”我们不知道她发生了什么事”，门口的女人说，“有一天，小狗刚出生不久，我带她去散步，她就不见了“。”她肯定是想回到他们身边，但是迷路了”，身后一个男孩补充道。

I must admit I do miss Goldie, but I’ve got Nugget now, and she looks just like her mother. And I’ve learnt a good lesson: not to judge people.

我必须承认我确实想念戈尔迪，但我现在有了纳格，她长得和她妈妈一样。我也吸取到了一个很好的教训：不要评判别人。

2008年北京高考英语试卷评析

北京市2015届高考英语试题可谓：难度适中，喜有创新。这不仅满足了2015考试说明的要求，同时也符合了高考改革的大趋势。

听力

听力部分主要涵盖爱好、购物、运动、活动安排等对于考生熟悉的高频情景，难度适中，题干和选项的没有出现影响理解的考纲外词汇。但是填空的第一题，人名比较陌生，较容易因的拼写而失分。

单选—综合考察，略偏重于句法；

2015年高考英语语法部分对句法和词法进行了较为全面的考察。时态语态、非谓语动词、虚拟语气及各大从句一直是北京卷语法考察的主要部分。连词及情态动词已经连续考察三年。但值得注意的是本套试题有2题考察了状语从句，较2013及2014年多一题。

完形、阅读、七选五—心灵老汤，新型科技类说明文小有挑战；

完形填空是一篇极具北京特色的心灵鸡汤类的记叙文。文章讲述了“由于弹钢琴打扰邻居休息，作者邀请邻居到家里聚会并道歉，进而得到了邻居的谅解”。文章脉络清晰难度适中，场景也并不陌生。考生只要真正读懂文章，并牢牢把握上下文线索即可。

本次阅读整体难度适中，但是出现了新型科技类说明文。往年科技类说明文的阅读难点在于专业类词汇，但是今年的“新型耳机”在问题设置上难度不大，属于文章难但题目不难的题目。另外，D篇的结构题对于大部分考生不那么熟悉，可能成为失分点。

七选五讲述了“白日做梦”的优点，论述了如何从中获得创造性思维并如何避免带来的负面作用。文章结构清晰，可读性强，提示词明显。因此，日常练习中要侧重以抓住文章结构及段落主旨为主，兼顾辨析选项，尤其是根据核心词排除干扰项的做题技巧。

写作

2015年是即14年写作调整后，第二次考察应用文。此次为一篇邀请信，写作要求基本给出了邀请信的主要内容。值得关注的是此次信息要素原文并没有直接给出，需要考生根据具体场景合理安排。

2015年的作文涉及了中国传统文化的内容表达，顺应了英语高考作文与中国传统文化相结合的命题趋势。本文依然用四幅图的形式展现了一个活动的过程，与往年一样，体裁为记叙文。与往年不同的是，命题并未给出作文开头，需学生自己写一个事件的概括及总体感受作为文章的第一段。

一道11年的北京高考英语阅读理解题，求解

英语

　2008年高考英语北京卷试卷命制依据教育部2000年颁布的《全日制高级中学英语教学大纲》(实验修订版)(以下简称《教学大纲》和北京教育考试院制定的《2008年普通高等学校招生全国统一考试北京卷考试说明》(以下简称《考试说明》)的各项要求。在遵循“有助于培养学生的创新精神与实践能力”思想指导下。在保持连续性和基本稳定的基础上，融入新课程标准的理念。试题立意新颖，强调语言知识的运用。突出语言能力的考查，倡导创新意识，体现北京特色。

　情景作文的选材“春游”，贴近学生实际生活，立意积极向上；保护环境是每个公民的义务，开放作文给考生很多展示思维活动的空间，从考生熟悉的铅笔和圆规入手，引导考生展开合理的联想。多角度开发考生创新思维能力和逻辑推理能力。体现新课程标准的理念与要求。

　四、突出语言的交际性和实用性

　试卷在选材和设题上突出语言的交际性和实用性，一方面，试卷采用语言鲜活、情景真实的素材；另一方面，设题时充分考虑交际目的。

2011年高考英语北京卷 - 阅读理解D

Sara tried to befriend her old friend Steve’s new wife, but Betty never seemed to have anything to say. While Sara felt Betty didn’t hold up her end of the conversation, Betty complained to Steve that Sara never gave her a chance to talk. The problem had to do with expectations about pacing and pausing.

萨拉想和她的老朋友史蒂夫的新婚妻子贝蒂交朋友，但贝蒂似乎没什么表示。萨拉觉得贝蒂没有打断她的谈话时，贝蒂向史蒂夫抱怨说萨拉从来没有给过她说话的机会。这个问题与人们对节奏和停顿的期望有关。

Conversation is a turn-taking game. When our habits are similar, there’s no problem. But if our habits are different, you may start to talk before I’m finished or fail to take your turn when I’m finished. That’s what was happening with Betty and Sara.

谈话是一种轮流进行的游戏。当我们的习惯相似时，没有问题。但是如果我们的习惯不同，你可能在我说完之前就开始说，或者在我说完的时候你没有接上。贝蒂和莎拉就是这样。

It may not be coincidental that Betty, who expected relatively longer pauses between turns, is British, and Sara, who expected relatively shorter pauses, is American. Betty often felt interrupted by Sara. But Betty herself became an interrupter and found herself doing most of the talking when she met a visitor from Finland. And Sara had a hard time cutting in on some speakers from Latin America or Israel.

这可能不是巧合，贝蒂是英国人，她期望在转换之间停顿长一点，而萨拉是美国人，她期望停顿短一点。贝蒂常常感到被萨拉打断，但是当她遇到来自芬兰的客人时，她自己成了打断别人的人，总是自己在说。萨拉在遇到来自拉美或以色列的发言者讲话时也很难插嘴。

The general phenomenon, then, is that the small conversation techniques, like pacing and pausing, lead people to draw conclusions not about conversational style but about personality and abilities. These habitual differences are often the basis for dangerous stereotyping. And these social phenomena can have very personal consequences. For example, a woman from the southwestern part of the US went to live in an eastern city to take up a job in personnel. When the Personnel Department got together for meetings, she kept searching for the right time to break in--and never found it. Although back home she was considered outgoing and confident, in Washington she was viewed as shy and retiring. When she was evaluated at the end of the year, she was told to take a training course because of her inability to speak up.

通常就是这样，像节奏和停顿这样的谈话小技巧会让人们得出关于个性和能力的结论，而不是关于谈话风格。这些习惯性差异往往是危险的思维定式的基础，这些社会现象会产生非常私人的后果。例如，一位来自美国西南部的妇女到东部城市居住，从事人事工作。当人事部开会时，她会一直在寻找合适的时间插话——但始终没有找到。虽然在家乡她被认为是外向和自信，但在华盛顿她则被认为是害羞，不善与人交往。年底对她考评时，被告知要参加培训，因为她不会说话。

That’s why slight differences in conversational style --- tiny little things like microseconds of pause --- can have a great effect on one’s life. The result in this case was a judgment of psychological problems --- even in the mind of the woman herself, who really wondered what was wrong with her and registered for assertiveness training.

这就是为什么谈话风格上的细微差别——像几微秒停顿这样的小事——会对一个人的生活产生巨大影响。案例的结果是对心理问题的判断——甚至在这位女士自己的头脑中，她真的很想知道她到底有什么问题，而去报名参加自信心培训。

北京今年高考英语难吗

As the railroads and the highways shaped the American West in the past centuries, a new electrical generating and transmission system for the 21th century will leave a lasting mark on the West, for better or worse. Much of the real significance of railroads and highways is not in their direct physical effect on the scenery, but in the ways that they affect the surrounding community. The same is true of big solar plants and the power lines that will be laid down to move electricity around.

在过去的几个世纪里，随着美国西部铁路和高速公路的发展，21世纪一种新的电力发电运输系统应运而生，无论好坏，都将在西方留下持久的印记。铁路和公路的真正意义不在于它们对风景的直接物理影响，而在于它们对周围社区的影响。大型太阳能发电厂和将铺设的输电线路也是如此。

The 19th century saw land grants offered to railroad companies to build the transcontinental railroads, leaving public land in between privately owned land. In much of the West, some of the railroad sections were developed while others remained undeveloped, and in both cases the landownership has presented unique challenges to land management. With the completion of the interstate highway system, many of the small towns, which sprang up as railway stops and developed well, have lost their lifeblood and died.

19世纪政府拨地给铁路公司建造横贯大陆的铁路，将公共土地置于私有土地之间。在西部大部分地区，一些铁路路段已经开发，而另一些尚未开发，在这两种情况下，土地所有权对土地管理提出了独特的挑战。随着州际公路系统的建成，许多作为铁路车站而兴起并发展良好的小城镇已经失去了生命力，继而消逝。

Big solar plants and their power lines will also have effects far beyond their direct footprint in the West. This is not an argument against building them. We need alternative energy badly, and to really take advantage of it we need to be able to move electricity around far more readily than we can now.

大型太阳能发电厂及其输电线的影响也将远远超出它们在西部的直接影响。这不是反对建造它们的理由。我们迫切需要替代能源，要真正利用它，我们需要比现在更容易地输送电力。

So trade-offs will have to be made. Some scenic spots will be sacrificed. Some species will be forced to move, or will be carefully moved to special accommodations. Deals will be struck to reduce the immediate effects.

因此，必须做出权衡。一些景点将被牺牲，一些物种将被迫搬家，或被小心地转移到特殊地点。将达成协议以减少直接影响。

The lasting effects of these trade-offs are another matter. The 21th century development of the American West as an ideal place for alternative energy is going to throw off a lot of power and money in the region. There are chances for that power and money to do a lot of good. But it is just as likely that they will be spent wastefully and will leave new problems behind, just like the railroads and the highways.

这些权衡的持久影响是另一回事。21世纪，作为替代能源的理想之地美国西部开发将给本地区带来大量的电力和资金。这种权力和金钱有可能带来很多好处，但也有可能被浪费掉，并留下新的问题，就像铁路和公路一样。

The money set aside in negotiated trade-offs and the institutions that control it will shape the West far beyond the immediate footprint of power plants and transmission lines. So let's remember the effects of the railroads and the highways as we construct these new power plants in the West.

通过谈判达成的交易和控制交易的机构所预留的资金，将远远超出发电厂和输电线路的直接影响范围，开发西部。所以，让我们记住在西部建设这些新发电厂时对于铁路和公路的影响。

2022年高考英语不同试卷难度有差异，考生们的说法是怎样的？

2023年北京高考英语使用的是北京卷，总体来说预测今年难度适中，没有偏题怪题，利于学生正常发挥。试题从素材选取、试题设计等方面综合把控难度，使其与学生总体作答能力水平相当，让学生都能发挥出应有水平。

北京高考英语试卷难度分析

今年北京高考英语试题难不难要因人而异。有人觉得难，有人觉得简单。北京高考考试英语是属于自出题的，因为北京考生的英语能力比非常高，因为这个原因北京的高考英语难度也是比非常高，其难度仅仅略低于上海卷和浙江卷，在全国的高考英语考试试卷里面是属于很难的，因为这个原因不少北京考生的英语水平在大学里都是相当优秀的。

高考英语北京卷一贯注重对思维能力的考查，鼓励考生挖掘篇章的深层含义，读懂言外之意。阅读试题进一步加强了对分析推断信息的能力和解决问题的能力的考查。

应用文中，考生需要结合生活实际，合理地用英语写出被推荐人的条件和要求，贴近考生的生活实际，体现了用英语做事情。

北京高考英语答题注意事项

在英语的阅读方面，注意把握篇章的整体信息，充分考虑语境线索的提示，仔细审题并提取重要信息点。而且英语阅读可以通过不断的刷题总结出一些出题规律，真题也是不可多得的资源，可以用来好好练习，体会出题风格。

在作文方面，很多考生认为，短文写作只要文笔漂亮就可以得高分，其实不然。文笔相近的考生作文，由于其卷面书写的不同，受到评分细则的制约(明确规定字迹占有分值)和阅卷教师印象的影响，得分会拉开差距。还有部分考生爱在临考前背诵范文，以备不时之需。

声势浩大的2022年高考，经过2天的漫长时间，终于落下了帷幕。很多考生也放下了纠结的心，考试终于结束了。今年的高考，数学科目比较难，综合科目也有一定的难度，那么今年的英语科目会难吗？按照理论来说，英语应该是比较中规中矩的一门科目，它不会出的太难，事实如此嘛？随着英语考试的结束，很多考生也纷纷跑出了考场。不同试卷难度有差异，让我们听听不同试卷考生们的说法，听完真的是让人有些心疼。

全国甲卷考生：尚银辉（云南）

今年的英语整体上还好吧，我做着挺顺利的，除了选择题有几道比较难理解，完形填空有点难度之外，其它的题目，我觉得都还可以。总体上讲，我感觉今年的英语不是特别难，相对平时考试还要简单一些的感觉。不过，我们班有的同学反应今年的试卷还是很难的，可能是我运气好？我做这张试卷，确实不难。

全国乙卷考生：田敏杰（河南）

今年的英语考试，真的是难出了天际，我觉得我九牛二虎之力都用上，各种筛选排除方法解答，都很难考及格。也不知道这英语试卷是谁出的，这么变态。真的是每一场考试都让人受不了，数学难，综合科目难，到现在英语还这么难，还让不让人活了啊，我感觉我都要复读了。

新高考1卷考生：张迪（山东）

新高考1卷，今年就是个“神”。首先是数学考试，难出天际，接着今天的英语也没让人感觉很简单。这难道就是要为难河北，江苏这样的高考强省吗？我做这张高考英语试卷，1/3的选择题部分是蒙的，也不知道能蒙对几道。其它题目做得也是不怎么好，主要是难的我都看不懂啥意思，阅读理解，完型填空都看不懂啥意思。题目出得也太难了。

新高考2卷考生：袁芳芳（辽宁）

今年的英语试卷是真的难，今年从难度上讲，新高考英语卷真的比全国卷难。我做选择题时，都很迷茫，好多题不知道如何选，而做到后面的一些阅读了解，和完型填空，我真的是都不知道选哪些。今年的高考，已经把我考的被淘汰了，还不知道咋弄呢，考的好差劲啊。今年的英语题目，我也是醉了，我全程痛苦，都不想做这张试卷。

天津卷考生：韦清远

很难，今年的天津卷英语很难，我们班的同学也说很难，今年的数学卷，英语卷真快把我考疯了，昨天的语文试卷做得也很一般，不咋顺手。

北京卷考生：宋雅

北京卷的英语，我一直觉得是不怎么难的，我做过近3年北京高考的英语试卷，觉得都还是挺好做的，直到今年的高考，我觉得今年北京高考的英语试卷，真的是有点难，难题占比有点高，接近40%的难题，让人做的崩溃。

浙江卷考生：刘荣明

我做着还可以，因为我英语不怎么好，不管难易，都是不及格。但是我班学霸说，今年的语文难，我个人觉得也挺难。

综上：今年的英语试卷，全国甲卷的考生反应题目是比较简单，但是还有的考生说英语题目挺难的。至于全国乙卷、新高考卷，和其它自主命题省份的英语试卷，都是有一些难度的，并不简单。当试卷都偏向难的时候，就会使得高考选拔人才更精准，但也会导致录取分数线适当的下降，因为题难。对于自主命题省份，和新高考卷来说，接下来还有其它科目的考试，还是不能带着不好的情绪，要调节好情绪，积极应对接下来的考试。而全国卷的考生，考完了就可以好好放松一下了。
