命题报告：
本卷严格依据最新《考试大纲》和《考试说明》编写，参考高考最新权威信息与变化，
命题方向适合新题型的特点，体现出命题的改革思路，特别是体现了《高中英语课程标准》中注重学习策略之中的交际策略，使考生“能主动扩展和利用学习资源，从多渠道获取信息”的意图从整体设计上来说，试卷层次梯度较理想，区分度好，其中“听力题”、 “语法填空题”、 “部分阅读题”略为容易，“信息匹配题”“读写任务题”部分有一定难度，出现部分新单词，部分考生可能会出现难以控制时间和猜词能力差的同学可能有个别题目完成不了的情况！例如听力获取信息部分，是考查学生对BBC电台这个背景知识的了解，如果学生有这方面的知识，做这道题就容易很多了，又如信息匹配题是考查有关颜色偏好和性格的关系和如何根据员工性格而促进工作效率的方法的信息匹配，其实这一类的文章学生可以结合日常生活常识来帮助解题。总体而言，试卷难度适中，有较强的区分度。学生应该合理分配做题的时间，注意例如读写任务题的解题技巧，如何写一篇文章的summary,即概括转述文章的要点，突出objective,complete和accurate的特点，学生要学会找出作者的论点、论据和结论才能总结，然后提出自己的观点，使用赞成、反对或中立的态度，利用事例论证等方法，最后得出结论等步骤。整套试卷选材新颖，有时代感和创新性、综合运用语言的能力高、考点覆盖面宽，展示了高考命题的最新研究成果。
