"義務教育全日制初中英語教學的目的，是通過聽、說、讀、寫的訓練，使學生獲得英語基礎知識和初步運用英語交際的能力"。顯然，要評價初中英語教學是否達到大綱的要求，不僅要考查學生的語音、詞匯、語法，還要考查學生初步運用英語交際的能力。如何考查交際能力？交際有兩種形式，一是口頭表達形式；二是筆頭表達形式。目前我國中學中考考口試是不現(xiàn)實的，因此只能以筆試代替口試。當今考查學生交際能力的題型有很多，常用的有補全對話、看圖對話、看圖填空、口語應用等形式。為了便于學生復習，筆者從《中考英語題典大全》（華中師范大學出版社出版）一書中選出的１１道題進行簡略分析，以使廣大考生對此類題的特點有一個大致的了解。

"口語應用"一般是對話體，內容控制在《日常交際用語簡表》規(guī)定的范圍內；對話的內容比較簡單，一般是學生實際生活中常見的事；句子結構比較簡單，盡量做到口語化?？忌炀氄莆沾缶V所規(guī)定的30個項目的日常交際用語的基本常識、常用句式和具備良好的語感。答題時要認真判斷對話交際場合，仔細理解所給單句意思，弄清所給內容的整體意義，句與句之間的聯(lián)系。下面是實例分析：

一、打電話

1.It's me,Kate.Next Sunday is my birthday.Can you come to my party?

2.Hello! Who is speaking?

3.Ok. I'm sure he would love to come.

4.Oh, thanks very much. I'd love to.What time is it going to start?

5.Half past four. Don't forget to tell Jim. I hope he can come, too.

A.31542 B.21453 C.15432 D.54123

分析："Hello! Who is speaking?"是打電話所用的最基本語言，必定是文章的首句。答語是一固定用語"It's me."不可以說"I'm…"，找出第一、二句，后面根據問話內容就不難看出正確答案是B。

二、邀請

1.Thank you.

2.Sure.I would love to come.

3.It's my birthday.Would you come to my party?

4.I think so.Why?

5.Are you free next Tuesday evening?

A.45312 B.34521 C.54321 D.12345

分析："Are you free…"是邀請者問對方是否有空的用語，是此段對話的起首句，"I think so"在此意為"我想有空。""Why?"意為"什么事？"，是第5句的應答語。正確答案是C。

三、約會

1.How about going to play basketball?

2.Good idea!At what time?

3.Nothing much.Why?

4.At 4:30 in the afternoon.

5.What are you going to do tomorrow?

A.25431 B.34512 C.43152 D.53124

分析：本段內容除第4句外其它均為疑問句，這似乎給答題加大了難度，其實不然。只要讀懂大意，找出第一句，后面的句子也就好排列了。這段對話只有第1句和第5句有可能作起首句，如果用第1句作起首句，第3句就沒有應答語，對話不完整，第5句才是起首句。"Nothing much. Why?"意為"沒什么事，干什么？"，是第5句的應答語，"How about…?"是第3句的應答語。正確答案是D。

四、就餐

1.What would you like,tea or coffee?

2.Yes,please.

3.Would you like something to drink?

4.All right.

5.I'd like tea,please.

A.32154 B.21543 C.15432 D.54321

分析："Would you like something to drink?"是問對方喝點什么的常用語，是起首句，第2句是應答語，問話人接著問是喝茶還是喝咖啡，第5句是第1 句的應答語。正確答案是A。

五、看病

1.Is that all?But I feel worse than cold.

2.What's wrong?

3.Don't worry.Nothing serious.

4.Let me see,er….You have caught a bit of cold.

5.I don't feel well.

A.53421 B.34125 C.13254 D.25413

分析：醫(yī)生一般用"What's wrong?"或"What's the matter with you?"問病人，回答是："I don't feel w ell."或"I'm feeling worse."緊接著是醫(yī)生給病人看病，給予安慰。正確答案是D。

六、問路

2.Yes,which post office?

A.25431 B.32415 C.13254 D.21354

分析：問路者一般用"Excuse me."開頭，接著說"Can/Could you tell me the way to…"，第2句是第3句的應答語，"Thanks"或"Thank you very much."是對話的結尾。正確答案是B。

七、購物

1.Which pair do you like?

2.The red one.

3.Here you are.
