浙江省普通高中作业本
英语
必修第一册（双色版）
浙江教育出版社
2024年度高中英语作业本的修订工作，围绕最新的
英语高考标准展开，精心筛选并更新了练习内容。对部
分时效性欠佳、信息陈旧，以及与当前主流价值观不相
契合的语篇材料进行了替换，以确保学生接触到的是既
具时代感，又有正确价值观的学习资源；所有完形填空
练习均按照高考的形式调整至15个空格，精确匹配考试
要求；综合测试的阅读理解部分严格遵循高考语篇类型
的框架设计进行了更换；对于读后续写任务，调整了难
度梯度，修订了部分过高难度的题目。
※样书为单色，正式出版图书为双色。
前
言Foreword
为深化浙江省普通高中课程改革，落实课程标准的
基本理念和教学要求，我们开发了这套适合浙江省高中
课程改革的地方性课程资源。
本套书是以《普通高中英语课程标准（2017年版2020
年修订）》和相应教科书为依据，结合本省教学实际和英语
教学评价改革而编写的，供学生学习新课时同步使用。
本套书是高中英语课程资源的有机组成部分，旨在促
进普通高中英语教学中语言能力、文化意识、思维品质和
学习能力四个方面目标的有效达成。本套书每单元由五个
课时练习和一份单元测试卷组成，并在最后附三份模块综
合测试卷。题目以基础知识练习为主，通过对各单元重点
词汇和语言点的复习、巩固，帮助学生进一步掌握课堂所
学知识。同时通过对已掌握知识的再运用，不断提高学生
的综合语言运用能力，发展学生英语学科核心素养。本套
书所提供的语篇材料题材广泛，题目的设计既包括了常
见的基础题型，又有培养综合语言运用能力的开放或半
开放题型，能激发学习兴趣，扩大学生视野。
本书由葛炳芳策划并统稿，编写人员为海宁市教师进
修学校俞忠英、杭州市余杭第一中学蔡晓佳、杭州师范大
学附属中学汪向华、桐乡市教育局教研科研室董一杰。
衷心希望本套书能给广大师生提供切实的帮助！
