人教社外语室提供的《中考样题》中,第三卷主观题部分占30分(全卷100分);北京市96、97 年初中华业、升学统一考试试卷中,第三卷非选择题部分占35分(全卷100分)。这里有两点要强调:( 一)不同的述语主观题和非选择题其实是一个内容,即重点测试考生的识记和运用四会词汇、常用词语、动词 各种形式和日常交际用语的能力,从而检查学生运用已学的语言知识进行初步书面表达的能力。(二)主观题 和客观题的比例大体是3:7,其目的显然是要指导中学英语教学全面贯彻教学大纲中所提出的听、说、读、 写四会的要求。
本文通过对96和97年几省市中考试卷中主观题的几种试题类型进行综合比较和剖析,提出几点改革思 索,以期与中考英语命题者和广大英语教师共磋。

剖析:本题给出一篇难度适中的短文,要求考生判断各行是否有错,如有错即将其改正。错误的类型包括 词法、句法、动词时态、语篇结构和行文逻辑等。该题旨在测定考生综合运用语言的准确性和熟练程度。
英语中考笔试主观题类型很多,上述仅是几种常见示例。通过比较和剖析,笔者认为有以下几个问题需要 探索:
1.笔试卷中主观题和客观题应该匹配得当。北京等地的中考题都是严格按照三与七的比例命题的,这对 贯彻初中英语教学大纲要求听、说、读、写四会是有利的。但也有相当数量的省、市中考英语试卷上主观题的 比例过少;应引起重视。
2.主观题在命题时,应严格遵循教学大纲和考试说明的要求,并要参照四会要求的词汇和日常交际用语 细目表,不能随意增加难度。命题内容不宜复杂,文字也不要太长。
3.从列举的题型可以看出,题型的难度区分较大。在一份试卷上拼题时,要难易、轻重合理,使一般学 生可以达标,使优秀学生有用武之地。过难或过易都不利于区分学生学习成绩的高低等第,也不利于日常教学 的正常进行。
4.按照初中英语教学大纲对书写的要求,今后中考书面表达可设计写简单的书信、便条,日记、通知和 看图写连环画等内容。各省、市英语教研室和英语中学报刊最好也能围绕这些书写内容,编些资料或发表学生 的习作和教师批改后的范文,供广大中学生和任课教师使用。
