高考英语复习大体可分4个阶段。第一阶段主要是回归课本，以教材为主，以考试说明为指导开展复习。这一阶段是整个高三复习必不可少的重要阶段。第二阶段把高考的重、难点语法项目进行专项演练。第三阶段是综合套题训练，通过训练提高学生综合运用语言的能力。第四阶段是再回到课本，重温基础，查看错题集，查漏补缺，这一阶段是对前三个阶段的回顾与反思，也是大战前的心理调试阶段。
不提冲刺 但我们这半年要拼
“别人都放假了，我们还要补课，苦啊!整个寒假歇不了十天，家里还给我报了辅导班，累啊!”似乎每个高三毕业班的学生，现在都是一肚子牢骚。十二年寒窗苦读，可能这半年是最紧张的，这种紧张不只来自外部，还来自每一名同学内心。周围同学都在努力，自己也在加紧，离高考不远不近还有半年，最终结果会怎样谁也说不清楚，这个时候心情更加复杂。
其实，对于2009年高考，我们现在刚刚迈出了一小步，起跑阶段最重要的是每一步都夯实踩稳，绝不要现在就想着冲刺。从金刊创办那一刻到现在，我们已经走过了6年，大家是我们迎来的第7批毕业生，我们发现，每年笑到最后的都是那些紧跟节奏、不疾不徐的考生，他们也许开始在班里不显山不露水，但他们的坚持让他们成功。这些年来，到金刊“做客”的名师已近百位，几乎每位老师都要反复给大家强调基础。其实“基础”二字正是考场成功的精髓所在，这半年我们要准备的就是基础，到了高考的时候，拼的也是基础。别总羡慕别人能解偏难怪题，人家基础好，你基础不好，原因就这么简单。所以说，我们现在要拼，有限的时间里，把“地基”先打好。编者
目前我们处在第一阶段，复习侧重的内容是重点单词、短语和句型的使用。我们应该做到在此期间将考试大纲的要求同课本结合起来，以“纲”为据，注重知识的横向联系，避免单一性，做到以点带面，点面结合，把原来分散在各个模块中的知识点或是分散在不同册中的知识点加以梳理、归纳，构筑完整的英语知识体系。还有一词多义，词的辨析，表肯定意义的否定句式的归纳等，这些都是学生目前要重点掌握的知识。
例1.“把…看作…”这个短语，在新教材的不同册中出现了不同的表达方式,即：think of …as…; regard…as…; consider…as…;treat…as…;look on…as…; see…as，refer to…as.
例2.strike一词多义。
(1) 动词：打;撞上;(灾害等的)突然袭击;(时钟)敲打;使感动;擦(火柴);突然想到(某个主意)，罢工等。
(2) 名词：打击; 罢工等。
a. A very big earthquake struck Tianjin in1976. (灾害等的)突然袭击
b. When I was passing the National Hall, I heard the clock strike twelve.(时钟)敲打
c. Immediately Holmes jumped up from the bed and struck a match. 擦(火柴)
d. The ship struck a coral bed. 撞上
e. What struck me most was the drive of the masses. 使感动
f. A good idea struck me. 突然想到(某个主意)
g. They are striking for better working conditions. 罢工
h. He struck the man with a stick. 打
i. The workers were on strike. 在罢工
例3.有关表肯定意义的否定句式你又知道多少呢?
⑴“否定词+比较级”结构，相当于最高级。
⑵can not (never)…too…意为“再……也不为过;越……越好”。
⑶no/no one/ nobody/ nothing…but…意为“都……;没有……不……”。
⑷not a little, not a few 意为“不少的，相当多的”。例如：
He has given us not a little trouble.
Not a few people have made that mistake, but most of them regret it.
