湖北省宜昌市作为第二批课改实验区，在近几年学业考试命题中做了一些尝试，获得了广泛认同。下面简要介绍一下2007年宜昌市考试命题的指导思想和特点，以供教师教学和学生学习时参考。
一、命题指导思想与原则
1.保证科学性。科学性是保证质量的关键，也是对命题的基本要求。试题表述规范、问题明确、语言简洁、图文清楚、专业术语准确，答案避免出现歧义，并将教育测量学理论运用到整个命题过程中。试题以学生为本，注意应用性、探究性、综合性、教育性和时代性。保持试题难度和结构基本稳定，既要保证较高的信度、适中的难度和必要的区分度，又要准确体现中学英语教学的要求，对中学英语教学起积极的导向作用。 基础题、中档题和坡度题的比是5：3：2。听力测试约占总分的25%，主观试题（非选择题）不少于总分的30%。适当减少客观试题，增加主观试题的比例。
2.把握基础性和全面性。基础知识和基本技能是考查的重要方面，是整个试题的基础。对语言知识的考查主要体现在听力、词汇、语法等项目的测试中。重视语境设置，努力体现语言形式和意义之间的紧密联系，增强语言测试的语境化、综合化因素，减少单一的语法测试。题干简单明了，不出偏题、难题和模棱两可的题。《课程标准》和现行教材中对语言、词汇、语法等项目的要求是命题把握标高的重要依据。
在全面考查学生基础知识和基本技能的基础上，重视对学生运用所学知识分析、解决实际问题的能力，对初中生应具备的基本文化素质和能力进行较全面的考查。培养能力是教学的最终目标，考查能力是测试的主要目的。《课程标准》对教学内容提出了不同的能力要求。能力的考查包括四个方面：基础能力、综合能力、应用能力和创新能力，体现在学业考试题的各个题型中。
二、试题特点
1．把握一个“准”字。
准确区分各层次学生，满足考试的基本要求。近几年我们将教育测量学理论运用到命题过程中，使传统的经验和科学的原理有机结合,达到了预估,预试和实测效果的高度一致。
准确地把握《课程标准》和教材的关系。考试历来就是“指挥棒”，它对教学活动具有很强的导向性。2007年试题以教学重点为考点，充分体现命题观念的转变，即“教师怎么教就怎么考，学生怎么学就怎么考”。理性回归教材，贴近教材的试题比重约占40%左右。让教师和学生感到亲切，既体现语言测试的发展方向和《课程标准》、教材的基本要求，又结合我市的英语教学实际。如：（所给示例均采用原试题中的编号）
26. —I’m sorry that I shouted at you this morning.
—____________. But please don’t get angry so easily.
A. That’s true B. That’s right C. That’s OKD. That’s a deal
27. —How was your visit to Tibet?
—____________. The scenery is amazing!
A. It was wonderful B. It was hard to say
C. I didn’t enjoy itD. It was unpleasant
32. —How does Tony go to school every day?
—He has the ____________ journey, so he walks to school.
A. farthestB. longest C. nearest D. shortest
33. —What do you think of George?
— He’s a man of ___________ words. He always stays alone.
A. little B. much C. few D. many
Key: 26. C 27. A 32. D 33. C
我们把单项填空题考点选择尽量与教学实际紧密联系，把对学生零碎的语言知识的考查放入一定的情境中进行， 所有15个单项选择题都通过小对话构建一定的语境，考查学生在一定的上下文中正确运用知识的能力以及在语境中运用语言知识和语感进行判断、分析、推理，以表达完整语篇信息的能力。
准确地把握试题的开放性与科学性的关系。试题在保证其科学性的同时，尽量提供给学生思维创新的空间。
77. 创新写作：计15分。
每个人都喜欢读书。在你读过的书中，你最喜欢的是哪一本？请你根据以下要点和要求用英语写一篇不少于60词的短文。要有合适的开头和结尾，不得使用你的真实姓名、校名等。
1. The name and the writer of the book. (书名可用汉语拼音)
2. Some information about the writer.（不少于20个词）
3. What makes you like it. （不少于30个词）
Key: One possible version
I like reading very much. My favourite book is Jane Eyre. It was written by Charlotte Bronte. She was born in England. She was a famous writer in the world. She wrote many books and Jane Eyre was one of the best. In this book, she wrote about a woman named Jane Eyre. Jane Eyre wasn’t pretty, but she had a strong idea of self-respect. She never gave up whenever she met any difficulties in her life. I was deeply moved by her story. I like this book very much.
这道题有别于一般书面表达题，它涉及学科渗透。通过一些限定条件，让学生有话可说，说得出来。它既是对学生学习习惯的检测，又是对学生综合能力的考查。学生答题既要考虑自己对读过的哪些书有深刻印象，又要考虑自己的英语表达水平。阅卷过程中我们发现了很多精彩之作，但也很遗憾地发现了一些学生知识的贫乏，出现了“Lu Xun was born in Hubei”“Journey to the West was written by Cao Xueqin”等令人啼笑皆非的错误。
准确地把握知识与技能结合的切入点。
76.模仿写作：计10分。
下面是一封求职信。请你模仿该内容另写一封教师职业的求职信。字数50—70。

语言学习离不开模仿，尤其是面对现在英语学习学生动力不足，分化面大的客观现实，这种题目设计能给学生学习的信心，给教学带来动力。
准确地把握语言材料选择的精彩性与可读性的关系。英语命题的语言材料的选取是非常重要的。2007年完形填空和阅读理解共有五篇短文，注重文情兼备，内容丰富多彩：有词语解读、旅游见闻、父母关爱、师生关系、语言学习等。 贴近学生实际，既有可读性，又具欣赏性。请看下面短文：
It was the final examination for physics at the college. The examination was two hours long, and exam papers were given. The professor（教授） was very strict and told the class that any exam paper which was not on his desk in two hours would be refused and the student would fail. A half hour into the exam, a student came rushing in and asked the professor for an exam paper.
“You’re not going to have time to finish this,” the professor said slowly as he gave the student a paper.
“Yes, I will,” answered the student. He then took a seat and began writing. After two hours, the professor began to call for the exam papers, and the students stood up and put them on the professor’s desk, all except the late student, who continued writing. A half hour later, the last student came up to the professor who was sitting at his desk and busy writing something. He tried to put his exam paper on the stack（一摞）of the other papers already there.
“No, you can’t, I’m not going to take that in. It’s late.”
The student became worried. He thought for a while, then he asked the professor in a low voice,“Do you know WHO I am?”
“No, surely I don’t,” answered the professor.
“DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM?” The student asked again.
“No, and I don’t care,” said the professor in a louder voice.
“Good,”answered the student, who quickly lifted the stack of exam papers, put his paper in the middle, and rushed out of the room.
56. What did the professor do before the exam began?
A. He counted the students.
B. He told the students some rules about the exam.
C. He wrote some papers.

本文语言精彩，贴近学生生活。都是生活中常做或常听说的事情。让学生答题时亲切感油然而生，让教师在反思教学时，感到语言教学要联系实际，与时俱进。使学生在考试中充分发挥其主动性和创造性，并使学生在学习中学会思考，积极地促进学生学习和智力水平的提高及身心的健康发展。
2．突出一个“新”字。
围绕“新”字做文章是目前学业考试命题的趋势。我们的命题中的“新”表现在：
命题理念新。试题坚持能力立意，把语言知识点与完整的语篇紧密融合在一起，在语境中评价学生对语言知识的掌握情况，引导学生养成词不离句、句不离篇的语言学习习惯；引导教师集中大部分时间用在发展学生运用语言的能力上，把正式的语言学习（课堂学习）与非语言学习（包括学习态度、学习习惯、学习策略等）有机地结合起来，而不必花过多的时间在区分许多零零碎碎的语言用法上，像记公式一样学语言。
选材内容新。试题所用短文材料全部选自外国人写的blog（博客）。 经过不断筛选，反复修改打磨，最后精心选择确定的文章体裁多样，内容新颖，具有浓厚的时代气息，原汁原味的异国风情，浓郁的生活气息，典型的地方特色，并涵盖丰富的信息资源，文情兼备，应用性与欣赏性俱佳。例如：
The strangest thing about Lhasa is the weather, probably because the city lies so high in the mountains. It can change suddenly in a very short time, and that has happened a few times in the past days. Yesterday is a good example, when we woke up at 8:00 it was cloudy but dry. Soon after it started to rain a bit at around 10:00 am. In 20 minutes it became snowy, and it was freezing cold outside. Then at around 12:00, when we just finished our visit to the Potala, the snow stopped and the clouds became thick. In an hour the temperature went up to over 20 degrees（度）and it became sunny! Later in the afternoon it became even warmer and we had drinks at an open?鄄air tea-house in the old town. At night after dinner when we wanted to take a taxi back to the hotel, it suddenly was very cold again and it started raining at 6:30. The whole day there was hardly any wind, but while waiting for the taxi at 7:00 the wind suddenly picked up.
Today it’s sunny again, but windy, and about 13 degrees. But the weather report that we received this morning said it would snow again.

随着青藏铁路全线贯通，西藏无论是在旅游，还是在经济方面都是当今的热门话题之一。我们选择这篇游记让学生体验西藏的神秘。
3．体现一个“巧”字。
巧妙地关注学生的“情感态度与价值观”。根据新《课程标准》，除了知识与技能是看得见、摸得着很好把握的，方法与过程，情感态度与价值观的测试都是值得探讨的问题。我们把对这两个方面的检测设计在恰当的语言环境中。例如：
A. making it a bit difficult to tell who was whom
B. sending clothes to the children
C. by taking a competition
D. finding out what our children were doing
E. while I was waiting by the school gate
F. because of the cold weather
It was so cold yesterday evening outside 66 , like many parents waiting for their sons or daughters, with a coat under the arm 67 . Our loving parents noticed the changes of the weather to come up with the idea — 68 .
Did you think it was a duty of the parents? Were you grateful for what the parents did?
All the lights in the teaching building were brightly on, and at 8:30 pm, the students in their school sports suits came out of the gate in twos or threes, 69 . It was not only a competition among the students, but also among the parents—it seems to me that the parents love their only child as if they loved their pet, and that they would feel happy or unhappy if the “pet”， 70 won a prize or fell behind. The results of their study for the students are just like the competition for the pets. Oh, poor boys and girls! Poor Dad and Mom!

这篇短文描述了由于天气变化家长给孩子送衣服的普遍现象，是学生熟悉的题材，是学生亲历的生活，是学生体验过的事情。它以现代生活为切入点，努力渗透对情感态度与价值观的关注，寓感恩教育于语言测试中。
巧妙地将语言测试与学生生活实际紧密相连。与人沟通，融入社会是现在中学生面临的一大难题。我们通过多渠道收集学生日常生活与学习的信息，运用较为成熟的命题技巧，置语言测试于反映学生生活实际的情境之中。例如：
What does “getting along with your teacher” mean, anyway? “Getting
along” means you and your teacher have a way that (41) for both of you, and you both are getting what you (42) from the relationship(关系). For your teacher, he or she wants to make (43) you are careful, being respectful and polite, and (44) your best to learn. For you, you (45) a teacher who respects you, answers your questions, and tries to (46) you learn. You can get along with your teacher and learn without being friends with him or her, although it’s (47) if that happens.
In every school, kids will say some teachers are too (48) or serious, but don’t judge(判断) a teacher (49) you are in his or her class and can see for yourself. Most of time, your teacher is on your (50). And a teacher who’s called strict may be someone who (51) to do his or her job well — teaching you the (52) you should learn. It’s also (53) to remember that making mistakes is a (54) of learning. By pointing out your mistakes and helping you (55) them, a teacher is teaching you.

巧妙地设计师生都认为必考的核心内容。核心知识和核心能力是教学中特别关注的。如果考试中没有明确体现，肯定会引来教师的批评。2007年试题将问路，关怀等交际话题；将比较级，被动语态等主要语法以及make it, be ready for等常用习语全部表现在单项选择中。将“防艾滋病教育，防毒品教育，国防教育，安全教育”等教育部要求对中学生进行教育的专题设计在一定的情景中。这样命题能够引起学生的学习兴趣以及教师的研究兴趣，引导师生共同关注生活中的英语，并乐于探究与实践对语言的感受。
随着新一轮课程改革的逐步深入，教材选择的多样化，评价手段的多元化将是英语教学的发展方向。本套试题全新的命题理念，全新的语言材料，创新的表现形式，巧妙的设题角度，科学的命题思路，都在昭示我们的教师和学生：
课程改革催生新的命题理念；
课程改革呼唤新的学习方法；
课程改革将给英语教学增添无穷生机。
一、命题指导思想与原则

All the lights in the teaching building were brightly on, and at 8:30 pm, the students in their school sports suits came out of the gate in twos or threes, 69 . It was not only a competition among the students, but also among the parents—it seems to me that the parents love their only child as if they loved their pet, and that they would feel happy or unhappy if the “pet”， 70 won a prize or fell behind. The results of their study for the students are just like the competition for the pets. Oh, poor boys and girls! Poor Dad and Mom!

巧妙地设计师生都认为必考的核心内容。核心知识和核心能力是教学中特别关注的。如果考试中没有明确体现，肯定会引来教师的批评。2007年试题将问路，关怀等交际话题；将比较级，被动语态等主要语法以及make it, be ready for等常用习语全部表现在单项选择中。将“防艾滋病教育，防毒品教育，国防教育，安全教育”等教育部要求对中学生进行教育的专题设计在一定的情景中。这样命题能够引起学生的学习兴趣以及教师的研究兴趣，引导师生共同关注生活中的英语，并乐于探究与实践对语言的感受。
随着新一轮课程改革的逐步深入，教材选择的多样化，评价手段的多元化将是英语教学的发展方向。本套试题全新的命题理念，全新的语言材料，创新的表现形式，巧妙的设题角度，科学的命题思路，都在昭示我们的教师和学生：
课程改革催生新的命题理念；
课程改革呼唤新的学习方法；
课程改革将给英语教学增添无穷生机。
