“高考”是“高等学校招生全国统一考试“的简称，用英语来表达常用的有以下3种：

1、national higher education entrance examination。“全国大学入门考试

2、national college entrance examination。“全国大学入门考试

3、 gaokao（拼音）, 这个不是中式英语，这个词已经被收录至最新版牛津词典。

每个单词的字母通常是不大写的，如果这个词出现在句子开头，第一个字母大写。

这个“高”(高等学校)是翻译成college还是university都是可以的，我们常常听到的解释是“college是学院，而university是综合性大学”，其实都可以。

MacMillan English Dictionary - American是这样解释college的：in the U.S., a place that gives students degrees. A school of this type can also be called a university if it is large enough to give degrees in more than one subject。

我用的是天星的《中学教材学习讲义》，自我感觉讲得很全面，而且每个知识点后面都有近几年的高考题或模拟题让你明白这个知识点高考是怎么考的。书挺厚的，字很多，看你有没有耐心看了。另外我们有些老师用的《世纪金榜》，也可以。还有些同学用的《点拨》还好，你可以参考一下。不过还是劝你多看一些阅读的书，毕竟选择题才15分，而完型加上阅读理解占了绝大部分内容。好好的提高阅读水平，多看一些英语文章。中国古话叫做“书读百遍，其义自见”，还有一句“读书破万卷，下笔如有神”。用在学英语上同样适用。阅读量增加了，你的词汇量也会跟着增加，一些句子结构语法现象自己就明白了，写作也没问题！要看英语阅读的话书有很多，都大同小异。但这个需要平时积累不能考试突击。平时可以看看英文报刊杂志，推荐《疯狂英语（中学版）》《21世纪报》。《高中英语语法与词汇》(English Grammar Tools for Life)是依据《高中英语课程标准(实验)》所提出的语法和词汇目标而编写的。本书覆盖了《高中英语课程标准(实验)》要求的语法和词汇内容，同时依据高中课程改革的基本要求，强调编制体系和内容配置的人文性与真实性，注重语法和词汇知识在真实语境中的实际应用，鼓励学生在现实生活的情景中经历和体验基于真实动机的行动过程，运用英语基础知识和基本技能探究实际问题，解决实际问题。这套参考书具有五个突出的特点：1．采用功能英语语法的基本思路和分类体系本书把形式语法分类体系和意义语法分类体系结合起来，形成了一套兼顾语言形式和语言意义的功能语法分类体系。包括16个基本板块：确认人和物，确认谈论中的人和物，具体描述人和物，数字与数量，谈论行动，描述状态，行动与时间关系，行动与空间关系，感官效果，情感表达，态度与判断，影响他人(命令，建议，质疑等)，意义的组合，语篇的初级组合，语篇的中级组合，语篇的高级组合。2．融会词汇学习和语法学习于一体语法学习的灵魂是具体应用，而任何语法手段的具体运用都和具体词语的实际用法密切相关。所以，从语言沟通的本意上讲，每一个语法板块都直接涉及到一批词汇的惯用法(usage)和实际用法(uses)。本教材的实用价值在于它将《英语课程标准(实验)》所要求的词汇依据词汇本身的意义和用法有机组织在教材的16个板块之中，利于学生在实际应用的层面上掌握课程标准所规定的词汇。3．鼓励听说读写能力的综合提高这套教材共分16个单元，每单元由4课组成，每课由4个任务(TASKS)组成。每个任务首先提供阅读文段，并提供听的材料。每个任务中的活动直接涉及说和写，听说读写活动依据每个任务的具体内容进行合理配置。4．注重培养学生探究问题和解决问题的能力这套教材的基本单位是任务(TASK)。教材编者根据各个功能语法板块的实际要求设计不同生活内容的任务。这些任务旨在激发和引导学生对各种不同的生活问题进行探究，并在探究的基础上去解决问题。本教材十分注意学习活动中的有效互动，个人活动、结对活动和小组活动的均衡布局。5．发展学生的自主学习能力每个任务都提供了自主学习(SEI。F ST[JDY)栏目。每个任务都应当分两个阶段完成，前半部分可在选修课堂上完成，后半部分(即SEI_。F STI．JDY部分)可在课下由学生自主完成。此外，为了引导学生学会自主求知(Learn to know)，本教材还在任务程序中设置了使用各种学习资源的活动步骤，这些活动通常也由学生在课余时间自主完成。
