’９９高考语文试题与前几年的试题相比较，淡化了知识性的内容，更专注于能力的考查。最明显的标志是删去了“语音”、“名言警句”和“文化常识”这三个识记性的考点，这不是明智之举，是对今后教师教学和学生学习的误导。汉语“语音”是学生一入小学就学习的内容，从表象上 Compared with previous years’ test questions, the ’99 college entrance examination language test paper has played down the content of knowledge and focused more on the examination of competence. The most obvious sign is to delete the three memorable test sites of “Voice”, “Aphorisms”, and “Cultural Common Sense.” This is not a wise move. It is misleading to teachers’ teaching and student learning in the future. Chinese “speech” is the content that students learn when they enter primary school.
