一、概说

高考英语命题可猜吗？回答是肯定的，而且我们近几年的实践也充分证明了这一点。高考英语命题之所以可猜，是因为它有一定的“规律性”。如果你了解其中的规律，无意之间“碰中”高考题也就不奇怪了。

那么高考英语命题有哪些规律呢？本文就给大家透露一点，那就是高考英语命题者经常从某些词典上“抄录”句子来编制单项填空题，或从某些网站上“引用”文章来编完形填空题或阅读理解题。

二、实例之一

比如：2007年的山东卷就在有限的15道单项选择题中，原封不动地从几本英语原版词典中引用了7句（为便于核对保留原题号）：

A. A; a                    B. The; 不填           C. The; a                  D. A ; 不填
