湖南省2024届中考英语复习冲刺七大专题之任务型阅读解题技巧

阅读是基础,表达是关键。所以在表达时,首先要注意以下原则:

(1)在答题时,总的原则是:能简略回答,尽量简略回答。

(2)书写要规范。句子开头首字母要大写;标点符号要规范,并且要使用正确;单词拼写要正确无误;单词书写要认真。

(3)做出适当调整。在回答时,同学们应对照题目,根据需要对句子的人称、单复数、时态、语态、词性、主谓搭配等做出适当调整。

其次,审题时要注意两个方面:

(1)看清提问方式。要分清是填空形还是问题形。

(2)要辨别问题类型。阅读表达主要分为细节理解题、主旨大意题、信息归纳题以及开放性问答题。考生需判断五道试题属于以上哪类问题,再通过不同的阅读策略高效获取信息,从而得到答案。

（需要全部可以联系）



一、细节理解题

细节理解题是原文提到了某事物、现象或理论,题干针对原文具体叙述本身发问。这类题在原文中可直接找到答案,常用一般疑问句、选择疑问句以及由who, what, where, when, why和how等引导的特殊疑问句来提问。这类题型的提问方式常为:

Do your eyes need everyday attention?

When/Where did the story happen?

Who put rubbish into different bags?

凡是针对特定事实细节的考题,其正确答案大都可以在阅读材料中找到相应的文字作为验证。回答此类问题一般采取寻读法,即先读题,然后带着问题快速阅读短文,找出与问题有关的词语或句子,再进行分析对比,找出答案。

例原文:On the first day of school, our professor introduced a little old lady to us.

问题:Who did the professor introduce on the first day of school?

思路:通过审题后寻读,考生应回答:A little old lady.

Can animals be made to work for us? Some scientists think that one day animals may be taught to do a number of simple jobs. They say that in a film or on TV we may see elephants, monkeys, dogs, bears, or other animals doing a lot of things. If you watch carefully, you may find that those animals are always given something to eat in return for doing them. The scientists say that many different animals may be taught to do a number of simple jobs if they get something to eat in return. Of course, as we know, dogs can be used to guard houses, and elephants can be used to do some heavy jobs. And we can also teach animals to work in factories.

Apes(猿), for example, have been used in America to help make cars and scientists believe that these large monkeys may one day get in crops and even drive trains.

1. Animals do for us?(5个词以内)

2. Different animals be taught to do some simple jobs ?(10个词以内)

3.What does this passage mainly talk about?(10个词以内)

例2

I was a schoolgirl in Grade 7 when Danny came to my school and became one of my classmates. He was handsome with blond hair, so many girls in my class liked him very much. Every day, his parents picked him up in an old car. We all realized he was from a poor family. I had a poor family as well, but I just hid it from everyone. I was afraid the kids in my class would leave me if they knew the truth.

One day, our teacher, Mr. Sims, announced that we would have a field trip. We decided to go to an amusement park. My classmates were excited. I sat back and looked at them, knowing that my parents did not have the money to send me. To my surprise, Danny stood up and said simply,“I won’t go with you. My dad hurt his back and lost his job. I am not asking my parents for money.”

“Danny, I’m very proud of you for understanding the situation that your parents are in,”Mr. Sims replied.“But the trip is at the end of the month, we have plenty of time to raise money for it.”While walking home from school that day, I noticed three boys talking with Danny. I was a little worried that they were giving him a hard time. But as I got closer, I found they were only discussing how to raise money for the trip.

By standing up and admitting(承认)he was poor,Danny changed my life. I no longer felt I had to lie about my family’s situation. As for Danny, I will remember his courage and honesty forever.

1.Many girls like Danny in the class because ?(10个词以内)

2.What was the matter with Danny’s father?(不超过10个词)

3.What did the writer learn from Danny?(不超过15个词)

1. Guandu Nature Park is ?(10个词以内)

2.Guandu Nature Parkhas become a paradise for birds because ?(20个词以内)

二、主旨大意题

此类问题主要考查学生概括文章主旨或段落大意的能力,其主要目的是培养学生归纳主要信息的能力。现在初中学生阅读时的普遍问题是文章大意基本能看懂,但缺乏归纳主题和写作目的的能力,而这恰恰是阅读教学的主要目的。

主旨大意题的提问方式通常是:What is the main idea of the passage? /What is the passage mainly about? /What is the purpose of the writer’s writing the passage? /What does Paragraph 3 mainly tell us? /What does the writer want to tell us?

由于文章的主旨大意通常会出现在首尾段或段落的首尾句,所以回答此类型题一般采用略读法。略读时要特别注意短文的首段、首句或末句,一般文章的主旨大意就在这里。抓住每段中的关键词语,便可以迅速把握短文的主旨以及主要信息的分布,在答题时就心中有数了。

★有些文章主旨大意清晰明了,考生只需从原文中提取信息即可。

例原文:Each educational system has its own advantages. For example, the Japanese students learn more math and science than American students by the end of high school. The advantage of the educational system in America is that students learn to think by themselves. The teaching method makes them more creative.

问题:What does the writer want to tell us?

思路:通过略读寻找关键句,考生应回答:Each educational system has its own advantages.

★有些文章除了需要把握首尾段或段落首尾关键句之外,考生还要把握全文结构,分清段落层次,从而归纳出主旨大意。

例 原文:首段末句:But what about blue food?

第二段末句:Children still preferred the sweets that were the usual colors of red, green, brown, yellow and orange.

第三段末句:This is perhaps why we don’t usually use blue food coloring for drinks, cakes and other food.

第四段首句:Some people say we eat with our eyes.

尾段:So will we ever see blue foods on our plates? The answer seems to be “no”, at least in countries like the UK and the USA.

问题:What is the passage mainly about?

思路:通过略读寻找首尾段的关键句,并结合人们不喜欢蓝色食物的现象以及原因,考生应总结答案为:People don’t like the blue food and the reasons.

三、信息归纳题

该类题目要求考生能在短文中找到题目所涉及的事实性细节,并能适当进行归纳表达。在找到相关细节信息之后,有时可照搬原文信息轻松作答,有时还要对事实性信息进行适当整理。解答信息归纳题时,一方面要在对全文理解的基础上采取寻读策略,找到相应的原文信息;另一方面要使用词语的恰当词性。很多学生在考试时就没有注意到词性的要求。因此,做这类题要回答全面,也要表述正确。

例 原文:I never knew her and nor did I know what to do, but I was there, saying some comforting words to a stranger in pain. I asked her to stand still for a few minutes. We then looked for a place for her to sit. From out of nowhere, her friend joined us.

问题:What did the writer do for the girl?

思路:通过寻读并整合信息,考生应回答出两点:The writer said some comforting words to her and looked for a place for her to sit.

四、开放性问答题

此类题目是要求考生针对短文中所出现的话题发表个人观点和见解。它没有标准答案,需要考生根据自己的理解和想象答题。但考生的三观要符合主流意识形态,陈述理由时不能脱离原文的背景。

开放性的问题使考生跳出了一定的限制范围,有利于体现创造性思维。考生在平时要多思考生活,关注社会和国内外问题,中考时方可写出具有自己个性、言简意赅且合情合理的句子。

例 原文:According to an international survey in 2016, young people in emerging(新兴的)countries like China and India have a greater sense of hope for the future, compared with those living in developed areas such as Europe, North America and Australia.

…

It was found that 53% of those questioned in China thought the world was becoming a better place—the highest among the countries surveyed. Some of them also felt hopeful about the future because of the development of technology.

However, young people in France, Italy and Turkey had a pessimistic outlook on the future.

问题:What’s your opinion of the future? And why?

思路:通过阅读获悉在新兴国家,如中国和印度,年轻人由于技术的进步对未来充满希望,而法国、意大利和土耳其的年轻人则持消极态度。此题虽为开放性题目,但考生应结合自身国籍考虑,参考答案为:I feel hopeful about the future, because the technology is developing quickly.

考生在答完五道试题后,要进行复读审核。要对照短文内容对所写答案进行审核,反复斟酌,做出修正,以减少错误和疏漏。

例4

Life offers so many lessons, both practical and personal, that you're never too young to begin learning them. Here are some skills to learn as soon as possible.

Money Management

When you start receiving money of your own, it's time to start understanding your relationship with money. In a world where you can buy any and every object, the key is to save money by buying only essentials(必需品)and a treat sometimes.

Cooking

One great way to save money is to learn to cook for yourself. Beyond that, cooking at home also helps you control your diet for better health. If you start doing this at an early age, you will not have to depend on your parents too much.

Keeping Promises

Promises are a matter of honesty and should be made with care. We must learn from an early age that our word must be followed up by action. When it isn't, others will quickly lose trust in us and not respect us.

Accepting Rejection(拒绝)

Though you must be careful not to break your word, others' promises aren't always kept. Learn about it early, and you won't be hurt easily. Also, not every job application or desired(渴望的)friendship will work out, so remember that there are more fish in the sea.

Lifelong Learning

No matter how old you get, there will always be things beyond your understanding. It's better to learn to be modest now rather than take a proud fall later in life. Be open to new experiences and keep learning. And it's never too late to start.

3.If one of your friends breaks his promise to you, will you be angry? Why or why not?(15个词以内)

Flora and her dad are moving to a new house soon. Next week, workers will turn the yard of the old house into a car park. The yard is full of beautiful flowers grown by Flora and Dad.

“My poor flowers,” Flora complains in a low voice, looking at the bright purple blooms(花朵) sadly. She sits outside, selling things she doesn’t want to take to the new house. Beside her hangs a sign that says Yard Sale. Several of her neighbours come to have a look.

Dad comes out, holding some snacks in his hands. “Here’s a snack for everyone,” he says. Flora’s dad loves sharing things.

Occasionally(偶然地), Flora digs her heels(鞋后跟) deep into the grass. Then she feels the soft earth move under her heels, and she knows what she can do.

She whispers her plan to Dad. He nods with a smile. Flora takes out some flowerpots(花盆) happily and finds a tool to dig with. Carefully she digs up the flowers with some earth and puts them into the pots.

She lines up the pots near her sign. Now she is ready to be a generous person, just like her Dad.

“How much is a pot?” asks Ana from next door.

You don’t know me unless you read a book called The Adventures of Tom Sawyer. Huck’s my name, Huckleberry Finn. That book ends like this: my best friend, Tom Sawyer, and I found $12,000 in gold in a cave. We became rich. We got $6,000 each.

My mother died long ago and then my dad, Pap, disappeared. He was always drunk and he often beat me. Then a kind old lady called Widow Douglas took me into her home to live. She gave me a bed to sleep in and bought new clothes for me. She read stories to me and taught me how to eat at a table. She sent me to school every day.

I hated those new clothes. I missed my old life. I put on my old clothes and ran away and was free and happy, but Tom Sawyer found me and said that if I wanted to join his club, I would have to return to live with the widow. For this reason, I returned to live with her.

The months passed and winter came. The weather got cold. One morning I woke up and there was snow on the ground. On my way to school I saw some footprints outside the widow’s house. My heart jumped. Pap!

“He’s heard about my money,” I thought. “And he wants it! ”

When I lit my candle and went up to my room that night, there sat Pap—his own self! I expected to be scared of him now, but I wasn’t. I stood looking at him; he set there—looking at me.

Pap was nearly fifty years old. His black hair was long and uncombed and dirty. He had allowed hair to grow on his face, which was ghostly white. Just looking at the ugly white skin made me feel sick. His clothes? —dirty and torn. His feet showed through large holes in his shoes. His hat was on the floor—an old black hat with a large hole in it.

“You are going to show me the future,” Scrooge continued. “Am I right, Ghost?” The ghost nodded its head. That was the only answer Scrooge received. “Ghost of the Future,” he said, “I am more afraid of you than of all the other ghosts. But because I want to be a better man, I will go with you. Please, speak to me.” It didn’t reply. The hand pointed straight in front of them. “Lead on!” said Scrooge. The ghost moved forwards. Scrooge followed in the shadow of its robe. And the robe carried him along. The city sprang up around them. There they were, in the heart of it. The Ghost stopped beside some businessmen at the Stock Exchange. His hand was pointing to them, so Scrooge listened to their conversation.

“I only know he’s dead,” said a great fat man.

“When did he die?” asked another.

“Last night, I think.”

“What was the matter with him?” asked a third.

“God knows,” said the first, with a yawn.

“What has he done with his money?” asked a red-faced gentleman.

“I don’t know,” said the great fat man, yawning again. “He hasn’t left it to me. That’s all I know.”

Everybody laughed.

“It will be a very small funeral.” said the great fat man. “I don’t think anybody will go to it.”

Dear reader, my name is Lemuel Gulliver. On 7th September 1710, I set off for more adventures again. Our first stop was in Barbados where I hired more men because some of my crew (船员们) died from fever. Unfortunately my new men were really pirates. They took command of my ship and kept me prisoner in my cabin. I think they sailed the ship to Madagascar. I do not know where we went after that. I only know that after some months, they decided to get rid of me.

They put me into a small boat and took me to an island. I only had my sword to protect me. Again I was abandoned (抛弃) in a land I did not know.

I decided to explore the island and set off carefully in case I was attacked. I saw trees and fields and soon I found a road with tracks of human feet but also of cows and horses.

“Similar to England,” I thought, and this made me feel better.

But then I saw some strange creatures with long hair and claws, These animals were disgusting. They were dirty and smelly. One of them saw me and lifted its paw, I was certain I was in danger and hit it with my sword. It made a loud roaring sound like a lion.

Next thing I knew I was surrounded by about forty of these creatures, I really was in danger now.

But suddenly, to my surprise, they all ran off. The only other animal nearby was a large, grey horse. It was quite an impressive horse and seemed strangely curious when it saw me. The horse came very close. It was a beautiful, noble creature. I stroked it but it did not like this. Then, a very strange thing happened. Another large horse arrived and it seemed to me, dear reader, that both horses began to “talk” about me. They made horsey sounds as they looked in my direction. They then began to examine me and touch my clothes and body. In their “conversation” I repeatedly heard the word “Yahoo”. I did not understand this word but I had the impression that these horses were extremely clever.

There was magic in the secret garden that spring and summer. At first, everything turned green. Then the green changed to coloursb—blue, purple and red. There were flowers everywhere.

Dickon and Mary’s seeds grew and the roses—the roses! From small buds they grew into large flowers and filled the air with their perfume.

Colin saw it all. He watched the changes as they happened. Dickon pushed his wheelchair to the garden every morning and he spent the day there. Sometimes Colin sat on the grass watching the insects.

One day, he watched a mole（鼹鼠）digging a hole. He learnt a lot of things about the ways of these insects and animals. And Dickon taught him about the animals in the wood.

One morning, the children were in the secret garden as usual. When Ben Weatherstaff arrived, Colin said, “Good morning, Ben Weatherstaff. I want you and Dickon and Mary to listen to me because I’m going to tell you something very important.”

“Yes, sir!” answered Ben Weatherstaff.

“I’m going to do a scientific experiment（科学实验）,”he said. “When I grow up, I’m going to make scientific discoveries about magic and I’m going to start with this experiment. Do you understand?”

“Yes, sir!”said Ben Weatherstaff, but he didn’t really understand.

“I believe that there is magic in everything.”continued Colin. “Dickon knows some magic. He charms animals and people. Mary also knows a bit of magic because she was born in India. There’s magic in the garden, too. I’m going to try and put some in me because I want to be well and strong. I’m going to say: “Magic is in me! And you must all say it, too. That is my experiment. Are you going to help, Ben Weatherstaff?”

“Yes, sir!” answered Ben Weatherstaff.

They sat down in a circle. The crow, the fox, the squirrels and the lamb were very curious.

“Now

let’s begin,” Colin said, and they all started chanting（吟唱）.

“Magic is in me. Magic is in me. Magic is in all of us.”

Then Colin stood up and walked round the garden. He went in front with Dickon on one side and Mary on the other. Ben Weatherstaff walked behind.

Colin walked a bit then rested. Then he walked again and rested again. At first, he held Dickon’s arm, then he walked a few steps alone.

“I can walk! The magic worked!” he cried.

“What is the doctor going to say?” asked Mary.

“Nothing.”Colin answered, “because we aren’t going to tell him. No one must know that I can walk and run. It’s a surprise for my father when he comes back to Misselthwaite.”

“He’s going to think it’s a dream,”said Mary.

Many Westerners think that everyone in China knows how to do kung fu. This is, of course, a silly belief. But it is true that kung fu is a big part of Chinese culture.

Like most people from the West, I was first introduced to kung fu through Hong Kong action films. Some Chinese kung fu stars like Bruce Lee and Jackie Chan made kung fu popular in the Western world. The cool and impressive performances they gave in films like Rumble in The Bronx and Enter the Dragon made them household names in the US and elsewhere.

However, my own personal interest in kung fu was actually encouraged by a hip-hop group. Wu-Tang Clan, founded in the early 1990s in New York City, is one of the most famous hip-hop groups in history.

In their songs, they sometimes mention philosophical concepts (哲学理念) that come from Wudang Quan—the style of Chinese martial arts from which they take their name—and the Shaolin Monastery. I was just a teenager when I first started listening to Wu-Tang Clan—little did I know that I would actually end up living in China later in my life！

I myself do not practice kung fu. However, the concepts behind it are quite interesting to me. There is a Bruce Lee quote that I often think of when I’m struggling with challenges in life. “Be formless... shapeless, like water,” he once said. By this, he meant that you should be ready to change your attitudes or beliefs when you face difficulties. I think this is a good way to deal with life.

In July 2021, China introduced the “double reduction” Policy （双减政策）. It hopes to reduce students’ learning burden（负担）by reducing homework and after-school classes. How do primary students feel about the new policy?

“Our homework is clearly less than before.” said Shen Ze from Beijing No.1 primary school. “We are not encouraged to buy workbooks anymore. The exercises are mainly from the textbook.”

Shen said, “Learning from real life is a much better way to learn things. Last weekend, our biology teacher asked us to do some research on birds in the park as our homework.”

For Zhang Ming from Tianjin, the best thing about “double reduction” is the increased time in after-school activities. “We can now spend more time taking part in clubs and activities, such as dancing, volleyball and drama. I have joined a group called leadership development where I can learn all kinds of skills beyond study,” said Zhang.

Both Shen and Zhang find there are fewer exams now. But they think it’s not necessarily a good thing, “Exams push us to study harder.” they express. In deed, each exam shows students’ progress as well as weak points.

Shen also pointed out that self-discipline（自律）is the key to success. “If you use all the free time to relax, you may fall behind your classmates,” he said.

When I was in primary school, I was very fat and didn’t like doing exercise. I felt tired and bored when doing any kind of exercise. Because I hardly did any exercise, I often felt sick and went to see the doctor. I was absent from school from time to time, so I couldn’t catch up with others. And my poor health made it even more difficult for me to keep on exercising. The cycle repeated itself. My parents were really worried about me.

One day, after having supper, my father came and asked me to have a walk with him in the park. My father insisted（坚持）that for people with very poor health, it was difficult to take up running and other sports at the beginning, but they could start from walking and increase endurance（耐力） little by little. With his encouragement, I agreed and we went out together. It was hard for me to walk for half an hour. I wanted to give up, but my father encouraged me to keep on walking.

From then on, I was often asked to walk with my parents. To my surprise, I could walk for an hour in the fourth month. How proud I felt! I loved taking excrcise gradually. Now I am a perfect runner in my middle school. I lost all the fat and I am a healthy girl now.

My parents once taught me that during all my life, I might face some difficulties, but I shouldn’t be afraid of them. What I should do is to try to face them bravely.

What do you want to be when you grow up? More and more Chinese young people are considering flexible employment（灵活就业）.

Flexible employment includes traditional business and part—time jobs. But in recent years, it has taken on new forms in the age of the Internet.

“My career（事业）began with flexible jobs,”said Liu Zhen, a special effects producer. After graduation, Liu ran a channel（频道） about special effects on a popular video—sharing app. Many people like Liu’s videos. The great attention from her fans won her a chance to work for a big media company.

According to China Daily, like Liu, a growing number of young people have been working as vloggers and live streamers（网络主播). Some of them take new jobs that are hardly heard of. For example, e-sports training coaches help people practice e-sports games and stink guides（闻臭师） are those whose job is to pick a special smell and add it into a famous Chinese snack—luosifen.

“Doing flexible jobs doesn’t really mean that we can’t find a job or we are not serious about our jobs, ” said Liu.“I’m lucky, because flexible employment helps me make a difference with my interests.” She believes that flexible employment will also help people start their own business in the future.

Nowadays, health is becoming more and more important. Recently, researchers at Indiana State University did four health studies.

First, they did a study on laughter. They found that laughter is good for health. It can produce feel-good hormones(荷尔蒙) which help make people feel happy. Moreover, laughter can reduce stress and the chances of getting cancer.

Second, they did a study to help people learn how to forgive(原谅) others and live healthier lives. They found that increases in forgiveness might be good for people’s health.

Third, as for whether people should keep exercising if they don’t feel well, they did a study. They believed that if the symptoms(症状) are “above the neck”, including a runny(流鼻涕) nose, or a little sore throat, it is fine to exercise. But people should take a break if illness appears “below the neck”. They include a high body temperature and a sense of feeling tired.

Fourth, they did a study about breakfast. They found that breakfast can help people control blood pressure. Having no breakfast can increase the risk of heart problems. People who don’t eat breakfast may be more likely to eat snacks, smoke and drink. It’s not good for people’s health.
