2019年中考英语第二轮复习专项训练学案
(阅读理解 任务型阅读)
初中英语新课标倡导任务型的教学模式,让学生通过体验、实践、参与、合作、交流和探究等方式,学习和使用英语,完成学习任务,促进语言实际运用能力的提高。中考英语任务型阅读就是在遵循课程标准的基础上,根据任务型教学设计而成的一种新题型。
该题型要求学生在阅读理解的基础上,去完成一项任务或解决一个问题,它主要考查学生根据所提供的语言信息具体解决实际问题的能力,即考查学生运用语言“做事”的能力;同时还注重考查学生的阅读理解、书面表达、归纳概括、分析理解、逻辑推理及社会生活
知识的综合运用能力。
一、任务型阅读类型
任务型阅读主要考查学生收集信息和整理信息的能力,是对语言应用能力的考查,是培养学生阅读兴趣的一种很好的题型。根据对任务设计的要求不同可将其分为二类:
1. 填写词语。根据短文或表格所提供的语言信息,以填写词语的方式完成文后各题。这种题目中所填的词或词组往往具有很高的概括性和准确性,因此考生必须认真阅读材料,尽可能地从短文中找到所要填写的词语或句子。
2. 回答问题。这种题目要求考生在阅读材料的基础上回答问题、补全信息等。这种题目往往要求学生在文章中查找相关细节。
二、任务型阅读解题步骤
1一审核标题,推测主题
试题中有的文章有标题,有的没有,标题是对文章主题的概括,它能给人以启发和想象。
2. 浏览全文,掌握全貌
快速初读文章,掌握文章大意,特别注意每段起始句和段尾句。
3. 浏览题目,复读全文,捕捉信息
先快速浏览文后题目,带着问题去复读,标记重要信息,注意有关的人物、事件、时间、地点、起因(即5个W: who,what,when,where,why)及一些定义、数据等关系词。注意分析和逻辑推理。
4. 明确要求,先易后难,初选答案
复读全文后,对比重要信息及题目要求,确定明显、有把握的题目,对于稍难的题再查阅短文(不是重读),找出依据排除干扰项。
5. 再读全文,核对答案
将阅读和答题时所得信息归纳整合,再读短文,要用全文主题思想统帅各考题,研究其内在联系和逻辑关系,看是否前后一致、语言知识是否和原文匹配、符合逻辑等。相信第一感觉,不可轻易改动答案。

例题2
Many companies today hold meetings to discuss their new plans. As people are paying
more attention to the environment problems, more companies are looking for ways to reduce their bad influence on the environment. Many of them achieve this by using web meeting.
Web meeting is a technology that allows people to communicate better over the Internet. It’s an easy way of hosting and attending a meeting. Participants(与会者) don’t have to leave the office. Each of them will receive an invitation with the meeting time and date on it. When the meeting is ready to begin, they must sit before their computers.
With web meeting, all participants can attend the meeting at their own desks. They don’t need to drive a car to travel to and from the meeting. As a result, no fuel(燃料) is used and less time is taken up in attending a web meeting.
Materials for the meeting are simply e-mailed to all the participants before it begins. Then participants can just read them on the screen. For the company, this not only saves the use of paper but also greatly reduces the mailing cost.
As a meeting hall is not used, the only power for a web meeting is the power that is used by the computers. Besides, organized don’t have to pay for food or accommodation(住宿)for the participants. All this means that less energy is used.
In a word, web meeting is a cheaper, greener, and more friendly way of hosting and attending a meeting. Companies that hold web meetings are willing to work hard for a better environment. So they can more easily find their working partners who have the same green ideas. In return, they develop good relationship with other companies and improve their business.

Passage 1
Any time of the day you can devote to exercising is a good time for getting active, but if you want to make a healthy fitness plan, it may be helpful to keep several points in mind and find out the best time to exercise.
First, try to know what kind of person you are. Especially, are you an early bird who always wakes up early in the morning, or a night owl(猫头鹰)who almost never goes to bed before midnight? Once you are generally aware of what your sleep characteristics are, you will understand better when your body needs exercise, either early in the morning, sometime during the day, or later on in the evening.
Second, consider your daily plan. When do you seem to be most busy, and when do you plan your most important tasks? Try to fit in your exercise before or at least around these events if possible, so that you can keep exercising and your life won't be affected(影响)as well.
Third, think about when you feel you have the most energy. For most people, that time is usually in the morning after a good night's rest, or after a long day of work. After a busy or much stressful day, exercising can reduce your working stress from hard work.
Lastly, find out the place you plan to do exercise. Your house provides exercise at any time if you own fitness equipment(设备),but if there is a gym(健身房)down the street or along the way home from work, it will make it more suitable for you to exercise.
More importantly, you need to make a plan and try sticking to it for one week. If you do so and can get through the exercise without being pulled in another direction, make it a habit. And once you have set up your fitness plan, don't make any great changes to it unless your doctor allows you to.

Ma Yun became one of the richest men in China when his company Alibaba went on the stock(股票)market last year with a value of around 140 billion-the largest public offering in history. Here are some stories about him on the way to success.
Ma made his first trip to the a US in 2019 and used the Internet for the first time. After searching for “beer”, he saw that no results came up about China. Then he searched for “China” and still saw no results. He decided to set up a Chinese website--the seed for Alibaba was sown(播种).
Ma said he was refused many times in his life. He failed the College Entrance Examination in China three times and few companies offered him jobs, including one at KFC. And he was refused by the famous Harvard University 10 times.
It was difficult to learn English when Ma was a teenager because of limited resources. However, he found that he could learn English well by giving tourists free guides around his hometown Hangzhou. And he kept it for nine years. Ma said that tourists opened up a new world for him because everything they said and did was so different from what he had been taught at school and by his parents.
Ma’s hero is Forest Gump who never gives up. When he made a speech about his success at Davos(达沃斯论坛)in 2019,Ma said, “Life is like a box of chocolates because you never know what you are going to get.”

Passage 4
Stop Smoking Now ---We Can Help
In almost every US city and town, there are local organizations to help people to stop smoking. One of the most popular and successful is California Smokers’ Helpline. Here is a page from one of their leaflets.
When you really want a cigarette---try the three DS:
1. Delay: Look at your watch and wait for a couple of minutes. If you can wait two minutes, you won't want to smoke.
2. Drink something: If you drink water or some other drinks, you’ll reduce the need to have something in your mouth.
3. Deep breathing: Breathe in slowly and deeply. Count to five when your lungs are full.
Then breathe out slowly. Repeat several times.
And here are some ideas from Florida Anti-smoking Club to help people to give up smoking:
1. Make a plan: Make a list of friends who smoke and places you smoke. Don’t see those people and don’t go to those places!
2. Keep busy: Instead of smoking, make a phone call, take a short walk, talk with a friend.
3.Develop new interests: Exercise—walking, biking, jogging, swimming, or taking a gymnastic class—helps you to forget about cigarettes.
It is now against the law for anyone who smoke anywhere at any time in our schools. So set a date and act at once to give up smoking for your own good.

Passage 5
What do you when you begin to read an English newspaper?
You’d better know what sections are there. Usually, there is international news, business, science and technology, entertainment or lifestyle, sports and cartoons. You can choose your favorite section to read carefully.
Then, you come to the article itself. If you don’t have time to read the whole article, the headline(标题)and photo give you a general idea of the story.
Different kinds of articles
A news article includes body text and a photo with a short piece of text under it. It usually puts the most important information at the very beginning. If you don’t have much time to read the story, just have a look at the first paragraph.
A feature article is an in-depth(深度的)report on an event or person. It usually has an interesting opening. You get to know the idea of the article as you read.
Another kind of article is an opinion(评论)article. Usually, some famous people give their own opinions about an important issue in a fun way. Opinion is different from news stories that are all facts.
Be a critical(批判性的)reader
There are advertisements in newspapers. They can provide useful information about products, places, food or jobs. Remember that people make advertisements to sell you things. You don’t have to do everything advertisements tell you to do. You should be critical enough to judge which advertisements are useful and which are not.

Passage 6
Mayme Clayton collected books, magazines and letters
written by African Americans. Her son, Avery Clayton,
thought her collection was important. Unlike most books,
these were rare and hard to find. They were written by
writers who helped shape African American culture.
One book in the collection was written by Phillis Wheatley. Wheatley was a slave who wrote poetry. She was the first African American to publish (出版) a book. Wheatley herself signed (签名) the book in the Claytons’ collection. No one else owns a copy signed by Phillis Wheatley.
By the time she passed away at age 83, Mrs. Clayton had more than 30,000 books by or about black people. Her collection also includes papers about slaves, photographs, movies, sheet music, and personal letters by black leaders and artists. It is one of the biggest personal collections of African American history and culture in the United States.
Avery Clayton’s dream was to create a museum for his mother’s treasures. Scholars say that Mrs. Clayton’s collection is very important. Without her work, part of African American heritage (遗产) would have been lost. “We didn’t know these things existed,” says Sara Hadron of California’s Huntington Library.
The collections new home is likely to be in Culver City, California. Part of Avery Clayton’s dream is to share the cultural riches his mother collected with others. He especially wants kids to have a chance to see the collection. “ At present African American culture is being explained by pop culture,” he says, “ It’s important to offer a more complete picture.”

Passage 1
We all dream about things that we would like to do and things we hope to achieve in the future. But are everybody’s dreams the same? Here are some of the findings of a survey about hopes and dreams, in which thousands of students across China took part.
What are the hopes of teenagers? We received several different answers to the question: what would you like to do after you finish your education? It seems that some students would like to start work as soon as they can, so that they can help offer their parents better lives. Other students hope to go on studying after they finish school and to go to university. Although money is important, many teenagers want to do jobs they like. According to the survey, the most popular choice of job is computer programming.
What are the dreams of teenagers? Teenagers have all kinds of dreams. Some are more realistic(现实的) than others. For example, many students would like to be volunteers if Beijing could hold the World Cup, maybe working as translators or tour guides. And many students dream of having a trip to every corner of the world one day.
According to the survey, less realistic dreams are also common, but many students reported that they were willing to work hard to achieve their dreams. Quite a few dreamed of becoming famous, perhaps famous sports people or singers. Some students would like to go on exciting trips. One student would love to sail across the Pacific Ocean. And then there are dreams that there is no possibility for students to achieve. Three students would like to be able to fly.
It is clear from the survey that teenagers have similar hopes. It seems that most students hope to have a good education and find a good job. On the other hand, students dream of very different things: good things, and even crazy things. It is very important to dream, so hold on your dreams, one day they may just be realized.
A survey about some Chinese students’ hopes and dreams
Hopes of teenagers
●Some students want to begin work as soon as possible to help 1__ their parents with better lives.
●Some students hope to 2 studying after finishing school.
●Many students would like to do jobs they enjoy though money is of great 3 .

●Some students have less realistic dreams, such as becoming famous
sports people or singers and 7 across the Pacific Ocean.
●It is highly 8 for some students to achieve their dreams like being able to fly.
Conclusion
●The survey shows that teenagers’ hopes are 9 while their dreams are different.

Dearest Mary,
Thank you for the lovely letter and your kind invitation. You are truly special to me. But my dear, I cannot come to live with you. Going to a nursing home is what I want to do.
I know you, Mary, and I'm very proud of you and all your activities. But, your basketball, music classes, and studying, and your parents' work schedules cause you to come home late at least three or four times a week.
An old lady like me needs to eat at regular times and needsto have care and companionship(陪伴) all day long. How can I feel at peace when I'm either alone all day, or causing my loving family to give up important things in their lives to stay home for me? And besides that, moving to your house means I have to leave my hometown and move to a new city. My good friends, people I have known all my life, who come to visit me, would no longer be able to come. You remember Linda and Len. They come every Wednesday at 1 O'clock and take me to the store if I need something. Ruth Norton comes for me every Friday morning to take me to play games at the seniors' recreation center.
I do feel sorry for some of the old people in the nursing home who have no family to visit them. I have enjoyed your visits and love to hear all about your experiences, your studies, and your friends. I hope you continue to share your life with me when I move to the nursing home. I hope your young and loving heart can understand an old woman like me.
Much love,
Grandma Thomas

Passage 3)
We all need a healthy environment, but we produce waste every day and it does harm to our environment. Though we are young, we can still do something to help. In fact, even the simplest everyday activities can make a real difference to the environment. Here are some ideas for you to live a green life.
Remember these three words: reduce, reuse and recycle.
Reduce means “use less”. Don't waste things. This saves money and reduces pollution and waste going into the environment. Before we buy something new, think if it is really necessary or maybe the old one will be just as good! When we do buy things, choose local products if possible, and try not to buy too many things from abroad.
Reuse means “use again”. Use things for as long as possible. When we buy things, make sure that they last a long time. We should take care of them so that they will last, and we should repair them if we can instead of throwing them away and buying new ones. Don't use a paper cup or a paper bag. It’s better to use a china cup and a lunch box because you can use them again.
Recycle means “change things into something else”. Although it takes energy to change something into something else, it’s better than throwing things away or burning them. Find out what can be recycled in your neighbourhood and take part in recycling programmes. We should also buy products made from recycled materials, such as recycled paper, to help save trees.
Title: 1 to Live a Green Life
We produce waste every day and it is 2 to us. We can do something to help.

Passage 4
A restaurant has received rave reviews (热情好评) from people for its service in Changchun in north-east China’s Jilin Province.
The restaurant appears similar to other restaurants after you enter it. However, you will notice that the restaurant staff (工作人员) use sign language to communicate with customers soon. It is described as a “silent” restaurant because all the waiters and waitresses there are deaf or mute(哑的).
How do people order meals if the restaurant staff can’t speak or hear? In this restaurant you can“talk”to them by writing or by learning some simple sign language gestures. When ordering dishes, you can tick off (在……旁边做记号) the items on the list. 12 pictures with sign language are on each table. After learning them, you can use the sign language to tell them that you want more water, another bowl of soup, beer and so on. When you need service during the meal, you can press the bell at the table and waiters soon arrive to help.
It’s not the country’s first restaurant with deaf and mute waiters and waitresses. Several other cities in China have also opened similar restaurants. All of them are opened to provide job opportunities(机会) for the disabled.

Telling a friend your secrets will make them feel like you value them more than others, says Peter DeScioli, a researcher in psychology (心理学家) at Harvard University. DeScioli has found that we are more likely to rank someone high up in our friend group if we know that he or she holds us in his or her trust.
Treat him or her like a grownup.
While your friends are in trouble, telling them what they should do doesn’t seem to be a good idea. Edward Deci, a psychology professor at the University of Rochester, US, has found that supporting friends’ autonomy (自主权)—that is, making them feel that they can choose the ways by themselves—creates a better relationship.
Accept that no friendship is perfect.
Fights can be a normal part of family relationships, but when it comes to friendships, people are less comfortable. This feeling can cause friends to give up too fast on their relationships when trouble comes , according to US sociologist (社会学家) Jan Yager. So don’t be afraid of the occasional (偶尔的) quarrel. Once you make it through, your friendship is likely to be stronger than ever.

Passage 6
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 indifferent ways.
Long ago, only native Americans lived in Canada. They arrived thousands of years ago. Today there are about fifty different American groups.
The Eskimos (爱斯基摩人)came after the native Americans did. They have also been in Canada for a long, long time. Most Eskimos live in the north of Canada today, where it is very
cold.
The European settlers started arriving about 450 years ago. Most came from France. They are a large group in Canada today. They follow French customs and ways of life. They speak the French language. Later, most settlers came from England and Scotland. They speak English. Today more than half of all the Canadians speak English.
Some Canadians also came from Germany and Italy. There are smaller groups from other places, too.
You can see that different kinds of people are called Canadians. Many do not want to forget their own customs and languages. But they share a large country. They share a future in that country. They are all Canadians.

Passage 7
根据短文内容完成下列句子。
"How are you?" is a nice question It's a friendly way that people in the USA greet each other. But "How are you?" is also a very unusual question. It's a question that often doesn't need an answer. The person who asks "How are you?" hopes to hear the answer "Fine. ", even if the person's friend isn't fine. The reason is that "How are you?" isn't really a question and "Fine. " isn't really an answer. They are simply other ways of saying "Hello" or "Hi".
Sometimes, people also don't say exactly what they mean. For example, when someone asks "Do you agree?", the other person might think, is No, I disagree. I think you're wrong. . . " But it isn't very polite to disagree so strongly, so the other person might say "I'm not sure. " It's a nicer way to say that you don't agree with someone.
People also don't say exactly what they are thinking when they finish talking with other people. For example, many talks over the phone finish when one person say "I've to go now. " Often, the person who wants to hang up gives an excuse: "Someone's at the door. " "Something is burning on the stove. " The excuses might be real, or not. Perhaps the person who wants to hang up simply doesn't want to talk any more, but it isn't polite to say that. The excuse is more polite, and it doesn't hurt the other person.
When they are greeting each other, talking about an idea, or finishing a talk, people don't say exactly what they are thinking. It's an important way that people try to be nice to each other, and it's part of the game of language.
1. "How are you? " is _________ way of saying "Hello" or "Hi".
2. It is ____________ to say " No, I disagree. I think you're wrong. . . " if you don't agree with others.
3. When someone says "I have to go now. " on the phone, it means he wants to __________ talking.
4. "Someone is at the door. " may be an _________ for finishing a phone call.
5. Sometimes people don't say exactly what they are thinking about just ________ they try to be nice to each other.
