多项选择题解题方法指导
(一)语言特点和命题特点
湖北高考英语多项选择题旨在“测试考生理解运用英语词汇知识的能力”。基于这种考试理念，加上若干年的考试实践，湖北的“多项选择题”具有以下鲜明的语言特点和命题特点：
1. 内容新颖 贴近现实社会、生活等相关方面。如：Two lawyers have donated $50,000 to sponsor our school’s campaign “Help the Needy”, which was started by our former headmaster three years ago.(2012, 21)
2.语言地道 原味浓，呈现出较明显的英语书面文句表达形式。如：The old engineer’s eyes still shone bright in the wrinkled brown face and his step as he came across the room was steady, though slow.(2011, 23)
3.结构复杂 很多句子结构较复杂，与汉语思维及其表达方式相距较远。如：As there is less and less coal and oil, scientists are exploring new ways of making use of alternative energy, such as sunlight, wind and water for power and fuel. (2009, 27)
4. 语境明显 词义通过语境来呈现，体现“词”不离“境”、“词”为“境”用的语言规则。如：“Tommy, run！Be quick! The house is on fire!” the mother shouted, with panic clearly in her voice. (2011, 21)
5. 词类稳定 基本固定在名词、动词、短语动词、形容词、副词、介词(短语)等范围之内。近三年词
