篇一：任务型阅读(含答案解析)
任务型阅读
知识清单
一、 考点分析
任务型阅读是“阅读理解”的另一种形式,综合考查学生归纳概括能力和语篇结构理解能力。其内容涉及广泛,要求学生在阅读理解的基础上,完成一项任务或解决一个问题。所以“任务型阅读”是介于阅读理解和写作之间,其任务已不同于阅读理解中的选择题或书面表达,而是在理解文字的基础上,完成相应的图表或文字练习,从而有效地测试学生用英语“做事”的能力。根据任务类型,常见题型有以下四种:
1. 完成表格型
此类任务型阅读要求我们在理解文本信息的基础上,根据材料提供的直接信息或由我们推理、提炼后的间接信息完成题目要求的任务。其阅读内容更贴近学生的生活实际,任务的设置变化多样,不光有简单信息的捕捉,而且有阅读短文,通过对短文信息的归纳,加工处理,运用语言逻辑推理和思维能力来完成表格。
2. 回答问题型
此类任务型阅读要求我们根据短文、表格、图片或图文结合的材料回答命题者设定的问题,所设置的任务通过事实或细节的查找就能完成,与普通阅读理解的解题方法相似,只是题目设计采用了主观题形式,没有给出选项,需要我们从材料中寻求信息,以一个完整的句子,或者是其适当的缩略形式作答。从问题所涉及的内容看,考查文本表层理解多于深层理解,其设计的问题多为五W或一般疑问句的细节性问题,而涉及推理判断、文章主旨、写作意图及作者态度、感受等的题目则少之又少。此类题型是学生失分较多的题型之一,要求学生有较扎实的语言基础和较强的综合运用英语的能力。
3. 句子还原型
还原短文型“阅读理解”题有两种形式:即选择句子还原短文和排列段落还原短文。第一种形式要求考生根据短文内容,从文后所给的句子中选出适当的句子填入短文空白处。第二种形式是给出一篇200~300个词的短文,要求考生根据短文内容和结构,将顺序打乱的段落重新排序,有时首段或尾段的位置已给出。这种题型旨在考查考生对短文整体结构的理解能力,要求考生从短文的篇章结构的层面上把握短文,了解其大概意思和结构,分清句子或段落之间的逻辑关系,然后还原成短文的原貌。
4. 多元综合型
此类任务型阅读是上述各种题型的综合,可以给出不同的任务让学生逐一完成。一般是在问题设计上兼顾了多种类型,既有根据短文设计的问答题和相应的翻译题、句型转换等,又有根据内容完成句子,完成这一题型应非常细致,应认真地到原材料中收集有用的信息,并且经过整理输出信息。在明白题意和文意的基础上,仔细阅读后面的题目要求,根据实际情况去完成所要求的任务。
二、 解题步骤
1. 明确任务。
由于题目要求形式多样,在同一篇阅读材料中会要求完成不同的任务,因此解题前要先明确任务,做到心中有数。
2. 一一对应,紧扣原文。
即在原文中找出问题题干所包括的信息部分,这样就可以快速准确地抓住有效信息,确保答题的准确性。如果是根据英文释义写单词的题,则一定要确保所填的单词来源于原文,切不可脱离原文,随意发挥。
3. 注意读写结合。
任务型阅读不仅考查学生阅读理解层面的能力,更加注重考查学生“写”的能力。若是写单词,则要注意拼写正确,词形、词性有无变化,是否需要大写;若所要完成的是短语或句子成分,则需谨慎对待,依据所给题干分析要完成的是什么句子成分,需用什么样的表达方式,不可简单草率地将文中信息直接挪用。
4. 认真检查。
完成任务后要重新审视材料,检查所做的答案是否复合要求,同时语言要精练准确。
提分策略
1. 认真审题,读懂题意
由于题目要求形式多样,在同一篇阅读材料中会要求完成不同的任务,因此解题前要先明确任务,做到心中有数。
2. 快速阅读,掌握大意
在做题时要快速扫视一下文章的大意,然后结合前面的题目的要求,大致明白所要完成的任务。
3. 细读题目,完成任务
在明白题意和文章意思的基础上,仔细阅读后面的题目要求,在原文中找出问题题干所包括的信息部分,这样就可以快速准确地抓住有效信息,确保答题的准确性。如果是根据英文
释义写单词的题,则一定要确保所填的单词来源于原文,切不可脱离原文,随意发挥。
4. 复读文章,核实任务
在初步完成所要求的任务以后,学生必须再仔细阅读所提供的短文,结合题意、文章和文后提供的任务信息、认真核实任务以保证答题正确。
5. 注意读写结合
任务型阅读不仅考查学生阅读理解层面的能力,更加注重考查学生“写”的能力。若是写单词,则要注意拼写正确,词形、词性有无变化,是否需要大写;若所要完成的是短语或句子成分,则需谨慎对待,依据所给题干分析要完成的是什么句子成分,需用什么样的表达方式,不可简单草率地将文中信息直接挪用。
总之,任务型阅读理解不同于传统的阅读理解,它介于阅读理解与写作之间,教师应该适应新课改的要求,掌握任务型阅读理解的特点,加强学生任务型阅读能力的培养。
【例1】 (2014·江苏镇江·61~65)
Have you ever asked your relatives or friends if there is Wi-Fi in their houses? Have you ever searched for Wi-Fi when you are at restaurants or hotels? The answers will probably be “Yes”. Most of us want Wi-Fi everywhere as if we can't live without it. But we can only use free Wi-Fi in some public places. We still have to spend some money accessing(连接) the Internet at most time. Here comes a piece of good news.
A rich,powerful organization in the USA called the Media Development Investment Fund(MDIF) has decided to change the age of online computing(计算) completely by giving free Wi-Fi to every person on Earth. They will send up hundreds of satellites into low Earth orbit(轨道) in 2015.
This is because they have made a survey and found that only 60% of the world's population have been able to get information on the Internet. And this is also because many countries are unable to offer people the necessary infrastructure(基础设施) to access the web.
We can expect to use free Wi-Fi everywhere in the near future.
阅读以上信息,用恰当的词完成下面的表格,每空一词。
【主旨大意】 本文是一篇说明文。文章讲述了当?a href="http://www.zw2.cn/zhuanti/guanyuluzuowen/" target="_blank" class="keylink">路浅Ａ餍械腤i-Fi。当你到亲戚或朋友家或在餐厅或宾馆,都免不了去搜寻Wi-Fi,这些里面有的Wi-Fi是免费的,而有的是收费的。令人高兴的是美国一家有实力的组织MDIF到2015年将为全球的人们提供免费的Wi-Fi。
【答案】
1. costs 根据文章第一段句子“We still have to spend some money accessing(连接) the Internet at most time.”可知搜寻网络花很多钱,所以填costs。
2. available 根据文章第二段句子“(MDIF) has decided to change the age of online computing(计算) completely by giving free Wi-Fi to every person on Earth.”可知在2015年MDIF将提供免费的Wi-Fi,所以说到2015年全球将有免费的Wi-Fi可以使用的。可以利用的要available来表示。
3. Reason(s)/Cause(s) 根据文章第三段句子“This is because they have made a survey and found that only 60% of the world's population have been able to get information on the Internet.”中的关键词because可知,这些是MDIF为人们提供免费Wi-Fi的原因。
4. provide 根据文章第三段句子“many countries are unable to offer people the necessary infrastructure(基础设施) to access the web”中的关键词offer可知很多国家不能够为人们提供搜寻网络的基础设施。provide sb. with sth. 表示“为某人提供某物”。
5. cover/s 根据文章最后一段“We can expect to use free Wi-Fi everywhere in the near future.”可知在不久的将来,免费的Wi-Fi将覆盖全球。cover意为“覆盖”。
【例2】 (2013·山东莱芜)阅读短文,根据要求完成下面各小题。
A life coach is somebody who helps you reach all kinds of personal and professional goals(目标). Each of us has the ability to be our own life coach. Here are some tips for you:
◆Pay attention to your relationships with others
Ask yourself the following questions:How do you deal with disagreements? When was the last time you showed your family members that you care for them? Your relationships with friends,family members and teachers show a lot about what kind of person you are.
◆Face the fears about the future
Now,imagine that one of your good friends told you that he or she was not strong enough to go back to school. 3We often give better advice than we are willing to take ourselves. Remember that even the most successful people were probably told that what they wanted to do was impossible,but they followed their dreams and succeed.
◆Develop your talents
If you want to reach your goals,you will have to spend more time developing the talents you already have,and uncovering any hidden talents that you haven't discovered yet. So you can take classes in subjects that you are interested in,even if you have no experience.
◆Be thankful
Take some time to be thankful for the things you do have. Remember positive memories. 4Think of the best day(s) you have had in the past months or years. Remember special parties,vacations and holidays. Appreciate the wonderful people you have in your life.
A. 根据短文内容简要回答问题。

任务型阅读(1) 阅读下列短文，根据短文中的信息完成文后表格。
In classes, your teachers will talk about topic that you are studying. The information they provide will be important for you to know when you take tests. So you must be able to take good written notes from what your teachers say.
Here are the three stages(阶段) of taking notes and what you should do during each stage.
1. Before Class
Review your notes you have taken before you come to class. This will be good for remembering what was covered. Get you ready to understand new information your teacher will provide.
2. During Class
Keep your attention on what your teacher is saying and ?the signal words? that tell you what your teacher is going to say and it is important to write in your notes. Examples of signal words are ?The most important point…?and ?Remember that…? Be sure to include in your notes information that your teacher repeats or writes on the blackboard. Write quickly so that you can include all the important information in your notes. Do this by writing abbreviations such as med for medicine, using symbols such as % for percent, and writing short sentences.
3. After Class
Rewrite your notes to make them more complete and accurate (准确的) by changing abbreviations into whole words, symbols into words, and shortened sentences into longer sentences. Use them to answer your questions. If
任务型阅读(2): 阅读下列短文，根据短文中的信息完成文后表格。
Many people believe that life has smiled to Yang Mi: at the age of 4, she got her first TV play role; at 16, she became a model for a fashion magazine; at 18, she went to her dream college —— Beijing Film Academy. Last year, the 24-year-old actress played bad girl Luo Qingchuan in the time-travelling TV play, Palace. The play became a big success and made Yang very famous.
Could she be any luckier? Yang doesn?t think luck had anything to do with her success. “Every chance is gained ( 获得）from the efforts I?ve made,” said Yang. People now think she?s very hard-working. She still remembers the time when people gave her the cold eyes. Some treated her with little respect. They didn?t want to help her in her time of need. “I have to thank them because they gave me the drive to prove myself,” she said. That?s why she is glad to help others when they are in need. This year, Yang became the ambassador(大使) for the Climate Group. She calls on people to join the Million-Miracle project and plant trees on China?s dry land. Together we?ll fight the bad weather!
任务型阅读(3):
Trees are one of the oldest citizens of our earth. Just like us, trees change a lot when they grow. At one to three years old, young trees learn how to protect themselves. For example, many trees grow thorns(刺) to tell animals not to go near. Most young trees have large, deep green leaves so that they can catch enough sunlight and change it into their food and energy.
When trees are 4 years old, they begin to grow very fast and become strong enough to face challenges(挑战) in
life.
At the age of 15, trees become young adults. They grow more slowly and begin to produce flowers and fruit.
It is not until the trees are 20 to 50 years old that they become real adults. The trees reach their largest sizes.
Adult trees give us many things such as oxygen (氧气) and natural beauty. If we give them good care, they will go on to live healthily for many years.
As times goes on, trees begin to grow older and older and even die. At this time, they still have their important
place in nature. In many ways, the life of trees is like our own life experience. Enjoy every minute of the life of the trees and take care of them!

March 24th
This morning, we had a school trip to the Dashan Collection House, a building of
two floors. It is open from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm. We took the school bus and arrived at
9:00. When we entered the collection house, our eyes were caught by a collection of
old photos of the town on the walls of the front hall. Those photos told us something
about the history of the town. And then in the Art Room, we saw many pictures of the

The oldest clock was already more than two hundred years old. To my surprise, the
clocks all worked well and they could tell the right time. It was then ten o’clock, and
some clocks produced different beautiful sounds. It seemed to be a concert. How
amazing!
On the right there was also a stone collection. The stones were from all over the
country. They were in different sizes, colors and shapes. Some looked like different
kinds of animals. I really liked one stone that looked like a little monkey. It looked
very nice.

Bollywood: the Hollywood of India
You might be surprised to learn that India produces about 800 movies a year, and
that number continues to grow. Just as the movie Capital of the United States is
Hollywood, the movie capital of India is Bombay (孟买), but it is usually called
"Bollywood", a combination(结合) of the words Bombay and Hollywood. No Bollywood movie is thought complete without a few songs and dances. In fact,
music is an important part of Bollywood movies. Even a bad movie can still do well if
the music is good. Music directors are sometimes more popular than the film stars. A
Bollywood movie has five to six songs with at least three songs to show what the
dances mean.
Bollywood may be different from Hollywood in music, but it is very like
Hollywood in several ways. If Tom Cruise can hold a gun, so can the Bollywood hero
Sharukh Khan. Hollywood stars are followed by news reporters just as often as
Hollywood stars. The persona! lives of actors and actresses catch the headlines(头版
头条), just as they do in the United States.
The Oscars are a very exciting time of the year for actors and actresses in America,
Bollywood has its own form of the Oscars, and they are also very exciting.

If you ask people of different countries“Could you tell me the way to the post office?”。youwill get different answers．

When we talk about how teenagers are getting worse and worse now, most young people don’t agree.
Teenagers always say they are growing up. They can have part-time jobs. They can drive cars. And they can even get married when they’re a little bit older.
Their parents say, “Our children are very good. They like pop music, but they play it in their own rooms. They help in the house. You know they feel bored sometimes because there’s nothing interesting in the neighborhood, no clubs, and no sports. They have nothing to do.”
A teacher says that he believes most young people are very kind. He thinks that it’s not bad for young people to like loud music because it can give them lots of energy and make them feel excited. Also, a lot of young people work very hard at school, and they can get good jobs later.
Lewis, a sixteen-year-old boy said, “I have passed all my examinations, but I can’t get a part-time job because older people always think I’m lazy.”
In my opinion, a lot of teenagers are very kind. They belong to community work groups. They help old people,

I usually go to the sports club to exercise before going to work. Every morning I see my friend Nicholas at the sports club. He is seventy-nine years old. I asked him, “What was the best time of your life?”
“When I was a child in Australia and was taken care of by my parents, that was the best time of my life. When I was going to school and learning the things I know today, that was the best time of my life. When I got my first job and got paid for my work, that was the best time of my life.

Lifelong Learning
In the past, when students graduated from college and got jobs, only some of them went on with their study. But today, lifelong learning is becoming more and more common.
Lucy, who is forty, teaches maths at a college in Boston. “Next term, I will teach some of my classes by using the Internet. This is the way of teaching that I have never used before,” says Lucy, “These days, I am taking a class to learn how to teach in this way. If not, I will lose my job.” At the same time, Lucy’s seventy-year-old parents, who live in New York, are taking an art history class online. “We love this subject,” says her father, “and we learn it to

This is Radio Capital in China. Here is the news for today, Monday 12, May.
A shocking earthquake has hit Wenchuan country, Sichuan province, China, on 12, May. The earthquake hit the town at 2:28 p.m. It measured 7.8 in the Richter Scale(later we know it is 8.0). It has destroyed nearly everything in Wenchuan country Sichuan province. It was terrible. We can’t describe the scene that we saw with any words. Thousands of people have been injured even died. And thousands of children become such unlucky ones who have lost fathers or mothers, they long to have families to continue their lives. We are sympathetic to their fate!
What an unbelievable thing! But we believe that we can fight against the fate and change it.

Telephone: The inventor Alexander Graham Bell made the first telephone call in 1876. “Mr. Watson, come here. I want you,” he said to his assistant(助手) over the phone line. And with those famous words, the world was about to get much smaller.
Airplane: The Wright brothers made the first powered flight in 1903. Air travel has made the faraway places suddenly become a lot closer.

I am Indian and I come from New Delhi, the capital of India. Having a guest come to our home is a very big thing for us.
When guests come to visit, they get a lot of respect(尊重) and care from everyone in the family. The first thing we do is to call every family member to meet the person when the guest is in the home. Then someone younger in the family has to wash the feet and hands of the guests. Then we put food at the table. Nobody can start eating food until the guest takes a bit of his share. After he finishes eating, his plate will be taken away and he’ll be given one bowl and a mug(大杯) of water at the table to wash his hands.
For Egyptians, guests are just like a blessing(祝福) in their house and they treat them very respectfully. In Egypt, if people go to someone else’s house, they do not enter the house until the house keeper comes to the door and invites them to come in. Guests of any age will not be different in how they are treated. No matter who come, young or old, a guest is our guest.
Ashley Jurinka said that in American houses having a guest is “kind of big thing”. She said they respect every guest who visits them. “The first thing we do when a guest is inside the house is to introduce ourselves, and then we ask them if they need anything,” she said. She also said that the age of the guest matters. They treat young guests differently from older guests.

Did you sleep the day away on March 21? Well, you should have done because it was World Sleeping Day. This is the day of the year when people around the world care about their sleep and ask themselves a lot of questions about sleep.
Why do we need sleep? Nobody has yet can give a perfect answer to this question. However, tests have shown that lack of sleep over about 4 weeks leads to a strong drop in body temperature, great weight loss and finally, sickness.
Different people need different amounts of sleep, 8 hours a night is thought of as the average amount（平均量） of sleep. For teenagers, the least number of sleeping hours advised by doctors are, 10 hours for primary school students, 9 for junior highs and 8 for senior highs. Some people seem to get along just fine with very little sleep at night, but some people need more sleep.
Here are some of the most useful suggestions for good night’s sleep:
Go to bed regularly
Use your bed only to sleep
Don’t exercise in the evening
Keep the bedroom dark and quiet
Drink a glass of milk before sleep

The Canadian people are not all the same. There are many different groups. They came to Canada at different times. They came from different places. Many of them still live in different ways.
Long ago, only Native Americans live in Canada. They arrived thousands of years ago. Today there are about fifty different American groups.
The Eskimos came after the Native Americans did. They have also been in Canada for a long time. Most Eskimos live in the north of Canada, where it is very cold.
The European settlers started arriving 450 years ago. Most came from France. They are a large group in Canada today. They follow French customs or ways of doing things. They speak French.
Later, most settlers came from England and Scotland. They speak English. Today more than half of all
Canadians speak English.

What do you think of the most important inventions in the world? The TV? The printing? The telephone? Or the computer? A report shows that they are not the only important inventions. Here are three other important inventions.
One of the simplest inventions is the toilet. Before toilets, waste ran into rivers from people’s houses. Illnesses were common in big cities, and it was often difficult to find clean drinking water.
Animal food is another important invention. Before the invention, most animals were killed every autumn because there was not enough food for them in winter. After hay(干草) became a kind of common animal food, animals could live through the long winter.
The third great invention is glasses. Glasses help people read, write and do “close work” after the age of 45. Without glasses, the world would be difficult for the people above 45.

About three hundred words in the English language come from the names of people. Almost every one of these words has an interesting story behind it. The word “Sandwich”, for example, is very popular in English. If we want to know the story behind it, we must know something about an English nobleman (贵族) called Sandwich.
Sandwich lived in the eighteenth century. He was rich, but he liked to play cards for money. He often played for 24 hours and did not stop to have his meals. He ordered his servants9佣人） to bring some meat and bread, and he played while eating. He put the meat between two pieces of bread, and he held the food in his left hand while he played with he his right hand. People liked Sandwich’s idea and began to eat bread and meat in this way.
From the name of the man Sandwich, we have the word “Sandwich” today.

Eating in space is different from that on earth. The food that astronauts（宇航员carry with them doesn't look like the food you eat.
Some food is carried in closed bags. It is cooked and frozen before the astronauts get it. All the water is removed from the food. In the space capsule(太空舱), the astronaut puts the water back. He"shoots" hot or cold water into the food bag with a special gun（枪）. He eats the food through a small hole in the bag.
Other foods come in bite sizes. The astronaut puts a whole piece into his mouth a time. There can't be crumbs(食物碎屑).Crumbs would float around the capsule and get in the way. Meat, cakes and cereal often come in bite size pieces.
Astronauts can't drink water from open cups. The water would float in drops in the air. The water is put in the special gun. The astronaut shoots the water into his mouth.
Eating in space is hard. Astronauts must learn to eat this way.
