thomas jane:初三英语专题复习 任务型阅读人教版（新目标）

【本讲教育信息】
一. 教学内容：
专题复习 任务型阅读
二. 教学过程
任务型阅读也可称为“读后做”。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。因为这一题型涉及到写，应特别注意大小写及书写规范问题。它往往与生活实际挂钩，涉及天气预报、电视节目、预定门票、预定房间、预定机票、填写申请表格、发布广告、确定方位、排列顺序、电话记录等生活实例和有关日常生活话题的简短文字材料以及书、报、杂志中关于一般性话题的简短文章等。阅读内容浅显，易于把握。题目设计既不直接呈现答案，也不增添解题的弯度。任务型阅读题中的任务已不同于阅读理解题中的选择题或写作中表达自己的观点，而是在理解文字的基础上，或完成相应的信息匹配，或完成相应的图表，或完成相应的文字表达，从而能够有效地考查考生用英语做事的能力。
任务型阅读不同于传统的选择型阅读理解题，是对传统选择型阅读理解题的补充和完善。常被采用的题型有如下几种：
（1）选择匹配型
这种类型的任务型阅读题与传统的选择型阅读题很相似，要求根据阅读的文本/图片等信息找出与题意要求相匹配的选项，主要考查学生捕捉有效信息的能力和单词的运用能力。在解题过程中关键在于正确把握题目的要求与文本信息要求相一致的一一对应。

【答题技巧】
此类题目设计通常不难、直截了当，只要通读文本信息，注意信息中所述事实或细节，注意句子的意义和语法结构，就不难填出正确答案。
（4）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。

Gift giving isdifferent from culture to culture and person to person.
When giving gifts, sometimes color is important. For example, formany Chinese people around the world, red is a lucky color, and people oftenlike to wrap（包装）gifts in this color. However, doyou know that in Korea,red is a color of death? That is why you should not wrap gifts in this color ifyou are giving a gift to a Korean person.

Too much texting can cause swelling（肿胀）in our thumbs（拇指）. Our thumbs were not made for pushing small buttons（按钮）, over and over. Scientists call his problem RSI（重复性紧张劳损）. Wespoke to a doctor called Harriet Wilson, who treats many sick people with RSI. Shesays we need to see how much time we are spending in typing text messages. Ifwe are spending more than 10-15 minutes at once, we could have problems in thefuture.
As mobile phones develop, they are getting smaller with buttonscloser together. Texting with a smaller phone is worse than using a largerphone with bigger buttons. Using a computer keyboard and playing video gamescan cause the same problem. So more and more people could find themselves withRSI. Among them, most are university students and teenagers, as they do notknow the risks of spending so much time using computers, video games and mobilephones. If we don’t do something about this, too many young people could growup in terrible pain.

Most people can think of a sport they would love to see in Olympics.But they often don’t realize how hard it is to add a sport to the Olympics. Asport needs to be well-organized and popular before the International OlympicCommittee(IOC) will consider it. An international federation must govern（控制）the sport by making rules and making sure athletes meet Olympic standards（标准）. What’s more, men from at least 75 counties and women from at least40 must play the sport.
However, even meeting those conditions isn’t enough. The IOC alwaystries to keep the number of athletes at about 40,000 for each Olympic. Sincemost modern Olympics already included so many athletes, introducing a new sportoften means cutting other events.
The country that hosts the games is allowed to suggest what newsports should be included. While new sports are added to the Olympics, most ofthem will simply become events in another sports meeting. In Beijing, openwater swimming will become part of swimming, while women’s steeplechase（障碍赛）will be added to athletics.
根据文章内容，完成下列任务：
1. How can a sport be added to the Olympics? 从短文中找出三个条件。

2. 根据文章内容，选择适当的词语完成句子。

In today’s world many people seem to be hungry for money. Money doeshave its most useful effect on the poor. But even if a person has already gotplenty of money,         .
If money were everything, all millionaires would have real love,true friendship, good health and a long life. However, this is not alwayscorrect.
Since the beginning of time no three words have ever invited morepleasure than “I love you”. But can love be bought? I’m afraid not. Love meansto give, not to take. To every person, health and a long life are probably thebest things. Well, can health and a long life be bought with money? The answeris “No”.
Of all the longest living people in the world, few of them aremillionaires. True friendship can’t be bought,either. In a word, where money is dreamed too much, it can cause brothers toquarrel, marriage to end, lovers to hate, and strangers to fight. No matter howmuch money you have, it is still not enough to make a happy person if you haveno one to laugh with, no one to cry for.
