* Sally had been studing at an artcollege for a year and, like most students, she did not have much money.It was going to be her mother’s birthday soon, and she wondered what she could buy her as a present that would be nice and useful but not too expensive.
One day, a week from her mother’s birthday, she went shopping to try to find her mother a nice present. She came across a shop that was selling umbrellas cheap, and decided that one of those would solve her problem, since her mother had lost hers the month before. *
On the train back home that evening she felt hungry, she went to the buffet car for a sandwich. She had left
the black umbrella above her seat in the compartment, but when she got back, it had gone! Sally burst into tears. The other three passengers felt sorry for her and asked what the matter was. When she had explained that her present for her mother had disappeared, the three passengers asked her for her mother’s address, in order to be able to send the umbrella on to her in case someone had removed it by mistak.
The next week, Sally got a letter from her mother, which said, “Thank you for your lovely presents, but why
did you send me there black umbrellas?”

北京市高考英语口试应试要领汇总
1. 各考点考试流程都大致相同，具体如下：
第一关：验证入场
考生按指定时间到达考点之后，排队等候进入考场。考生进入考场只能携带钢笔或圆珠笔(蓝、黑色)、《外语口试通知单》、身份证，不得携带 、书包、纸张等，各考点一般不设存包处。 第二关：领批次号、成绩单
各考点的口试都是按照考场数分批进行，所以考生在验证之后需要领取批次号，上面注明了考生所在的考场和批次；领取的口试成绩单是空白的，需要考生在候考时填写交给考官。 第三关：候考
考生领取批次号和成绩单之后，就进入候考室等候。此时可以填写成绩单上需要考生填写的部分。 第四关：备考
考务老师会按照批次将考生带进备考教室，并会发给考生人手一份考题。考生有10分钟左右的时间备考，可以抓紧时间熟悉试题，准备答案。 第五关：进口试室
由考务老师按每位考生的批次号将考生带入不同的口试室中。考生将口试成绩单交给考官之后，接受考官提问。每个口试考场配有两名考官，一人主考，一人监督。口试时间一般在5—7分钟。 第六关：进休息室
口试结束后，会由考务老师将考生带入休息室作短暂停留，一般在15分钟左右。以保证有一段时间差使考完的考生和未考的考生不能碰面。
2. 英语口语一般是三个考点。第一，考朗读。第二，对同一文章考问答。第三，给你一个题，让你准备一下口语作文。进考场就
可阅读，然后把卷子给老师，老师问你几个问题，你答复，然后是：“讲讲那个故事〔就是口语作文〕”，你就说。说完之后到时间，你就可以走了。很简单。你说不完，老师可能说：“You may go now.”。
3. 合理利用备考十分钟。考生拿到试题后，应该迅速默读完全文〔注意不要出声读，因为出声会影响对短文的理解〕，记下大意，
准备答复老师的提问。要带着兴趣去读，只能读5分钟，300字读超过5分钟，后面就没法准备，还要把朗读准备好。默读文章时，“五个W”是最常用的方法，即 Who-人物？When-时间？Where-地点？What-事件？How-解决方案。因为时间有限，遵循这“五个W”原则，可以在最短的时间内理解文章的大意，抓住短文的中心思想。
4. 还有5分钟，想想作文，也可以用故事里的那些句型，用一些刚读完的单词。所以要默默记诵，记诵着那5分钟内读过的内容
和词汇，将来就地取材，为己所用。有的口试题考名人介绍，课本有，用背过的最好。
5. 正确应对即兴陈述。首先要条理清晰。 其次，要防止频繁使用同一个词或词组，要不断变换表达方式。再次，要控制语速，
不要追求快。适当、自然的语速，不仅可以给老师留下好的印象，而且还可以为自己争取更多思考的时间。最后，防止使用长句或复杂句子。
6. 考生们可以提前准备一些关于你的家庭、校园生活、学习、业余爱好、旅游、假期活动、对社会问题的认识等等的话题。另外，
也可以选择大声朗读一些英语文章，纠正一下自己的发音，培养英语语感，最重要的是培养一种用英语思维的习惯。
7. 注意礼仪。英语口试，也算是一种面试，第一印象非常重要。 所以，考生要特别注意礼节。进入考场后，考生要礼貌地用英
语问候老师，当口试结束后，考生应起身说表示感谢或再见的话。在老师提问的时候， 考生要注视着对方，用眼睛与老师交流，表示你在认真听老师的提问。
8. 口语考试最怕的是不说话，而不是说错话。考官的手里一般会有一连串问题准备着，就是怕遇到不爱说话的考生，你问了一个
长问题，他一个字就答复完了，你问了5个问题，他答复了5个单词，这还怎么考？只好接连问下去。

9. 高考英语口试其实不难，它主要考你英语发音、表达等初级印象。对于这样的“印象型”考试，首先从心理上不要害怕，一切
围绕着“留下良好的初级印象”来准备考试。以下是几条妙计：
10. 第一个妙计就是一定要学会给考官留下一个“滔滔不绝说话”的印象。考官的任务之一是启发你讲话，你讲话了，他才能考察
你发音、语法等各个印象，考官最喜欢进来一个滔滔不绝爱讲话的考生，你刚问他一个问题，他就答复个没完〔哪怕有点?唆都没问题〕，口语考试的评判带有很大的主观性，考官的心情轻松了，高兴了，对你的评分肯定大有好处。
11. 第二个妙计是在开考前的几分钟内全神贯注地阅读发给你的考试短文，能背下来大意和关键字最好，有些水平高的同学可以边
阅读边在脑子里“改写”短文，把短文改写成自己的话来说，这样在之后问答环节中就能说出“自己创造的”英语，就会给考官留下非常好的印象。
12. 第三个妙计是进入考场时不要像个小绵羊一样全听考官指挥，要学会适当“打搅”一下考官，比方一进去就主动用英语问考官：
“我是站在这答复下列问题吗？”，或“我现在可以开始了吗”，或“我可以把背包放在这里吗？”，这些没话找话或明知故问的英语不是坏事，它会让考官觉得你有讲英语的欲望，不害怕说英语，给考官留下积极讲话的印象。要知道，你进入考场后说出的每一个声音都在构成考官对你的印象，包括“废话英语”，不失时机地说几句让考官感到意外的“废话英语”，有四两拨千斤的好处。当然，这几句“废话英语”你可要提前下功夫练，做到发音优美流畅自然，让考官完全觉得你是不假思索地脱口而出，这才能为你的印象加分，千万别半生不熟打磕绊，弄巧成拙。 13. 第四个妙计是答复下列问题时，要尽量做到“问一句，答一段”，比方你看的短文是“皇帝的新衣”，看完后考官问你，故事里
一共有几个人，你千万别斩钉截铁地答复两个字“四个”，就完事了，而要答复一段话，如“这个故事里一共有四个人，他们是，皇帝，他是这个国家的领袖，并且总喜欢穿新的衣服，还有两个裁缝，他们为皇帝做了一件假的新衣，他们骗了皇帝，还有一个小孩，她在大街上看到了皇帝什么都没穿，揭穿了骗局……”。有时还可以“退一步，答一段”，比方考官问小女孩看到皇帝穿了什么，你不要简单答复“nothing”，而是要退到上一个情节里，从上一个情节开始把这一小段故事再讲一遍，就可以说出一段英语来，比方“皇帝请了两个裁缝来做衣服，可这两个裁缝骗了皇帝，他们什么也没给皇帝做，只是说了一番谎话，因此皇帝在大街上展览衣服时，小女孩什么衣服也没看见……”。这样就可以给考官留下滔滔不绝说话的印象。 14. 第五个妙计是学会几个连接语和开头语，也叫套话，它把你要说的零散话连起来，使它像一段话，也可以给人滔滔不绝的印象，
如“这个问题我是这么看的，首先……，其次……，再有……，最后……，这就是我全部的看法”(用英语说就是“What I think about this matter is that, first……, second……, then……, finally……, that’s all I can say to it”)。 15. 第六个妙计放在最后说，但它却最重要，即“快速在几天内抓好英语发音”。在英语口语考试中，没有任何东西能象发音那样
给人留下深刻印象，发音就是你口语的相貌，好的发音最能打动人，坏的发音也最能给人留下坏印象，况且高考英语口试主要考的也是发音，听发音，是判断一个人是否适合学语言的最直接感觉方法，尽管考官的评分标准中不会把发音当成唯一的评分标准，但谁心里都清楚，通过发音来判断一个人的语言印象，是人的本能，因此一定要从发音上得印象分。一般人认为发音不是一两天可以练会的，其实不是这样，如果你知道英语发音的基本知识〔特别是口腔后部发声法〕，通过几个小时的调教是可以立刻见效地大大改善你的英语发音的，当然这种见效是速成的，短暂的，持续不了几天的，但这种短暂持续却可以很好地应付口语考试，如果你上午练习完发音下午就参加口语考试的话，考官真没准会误认为你刚从美国回来，而如果考官与你的对话内容又恰恰撞到了你熟悉的枪口上，那么在几分钟之内用“地道”的发音和“滔滔不绝”的讲话给考官留下5分的印象，自然就不是困难的事了。
16. 其它一些需要注意的问题：考生要充分意识，口试与笔试最大的不同在于前者面对的是有思想感情的人。为此，考生务必理
解主考人的心理状态，防止给主考人不利自己的印象。1〕如果进考场早了，主考人可能用英语说Please wait outside for a
moment．/Wait outside please． Please don't come in until we ask you to．等等，别没注意而听不懂。2)进入口试室前如能先敲门，并说 May I come in?或 May I?，主考人自然会认为你很有礼貌。3)在外表上，考生注意衣着得体。4)主动打招呼时使用称呼语上要慎重，就简单说Good morning/afternoon．为妥。 5)考生应主动把准考证交给主考人，主考人也就不会说Let me have your examination permit/ID．或Give me your examination permit/ID． 6)在备考室里考生拿到的试卷上要求朗读的段落都用＊记号标出，表示只需朗读这一段。7)口试时间的一般规律是先松后紧。第一个小时内考生往往能有十分钟左右，经考场工作人员催促后，主考人会加快口试速度。这时不会要求读完指定段落就开始就文章内容提问。当考生被打断时，往往是主考人认为朗读满意，没有必要再继续念下去，可以进行下一项了。这时考生不应紧张，以为念得糟透。8)在答复就文章内容提问时，应尽量在理解内容的基础上用自己的语言答复。中学生的特点会背诵，但有些问题往往不是可以直接从文章上摘一段就能答复的。考生在阅读时务必将时间、地点、事件发生前后秩序弄明白。如能把内容消化，用自己的话表述，这会给主考人留下深刻印象。 9)口试时可能会有一两道与所朗读段落无关的问题。有时主考人根据现定的问题，有时根据考生情况可能随意提问。这时是考生“表现”自己的好时机。譬如说，如问及业余时间做什么时，一般考生喜欢说看电视或打篮球。如果你参加了校外的文娱体育组织，就应该介绍活动的情况，这是你与其他考生不同的地方。在答复与朗读段落无关的问题时，可以利用时机与主考人交流。譬如谈到流行音乐，考生也可问主考人Do you also like popular music? Which singer do you like best?等。但千万要注意，一是交流适可而止，不能喧宾夺主，成了考生在考主考人；二是要自然，不要生硬地把准备的内容都得讲出去，给人以“早就准备好，背给你们听”的感觉。 10)不要说My English is poor．是不是 poor两三分钟后就能知晓，你有多少水平就是多少水平。问题答不上来，尤其是女生，绝对不要掉眼泪。眼泪只是脆弱的表现。要有“跌倒再爬起”的意志。
