理解英语课程属性，合理开展高考复习

Understanding the Nature of English Course Provides Guidance for Our Preparation for the College Entrance Examination

处于高三阶段的师生向来被高考复习所困扰。理清思路的关键在于充分理解高考与基础教育之间的内在关联。高考虽然发挥为高等院校选拔人才的水平考试功能，但从本质上讲，它是基于中学教学实际的终结性考试。就英语学科而言，该外语在基础教育阶段作为一门课程开设，决定了它以基础知识和基本技能为核心的课程属性。鉴于此，高考英语也必然遵循以基础知识和基本技能为中心的原则。掌握了这一规律，有助于师生合理开展高考复习。
