❶ 4篇七年級上冊英語閱讀理解（附問題和答案）
A
In the sea there are many islands. In its warm water there are some little ones. We call them "Coral islands".
A coral island is very nice to look at. It looks like a ring of land with trees, grass and flowers on it. One part of the ring is open to the water. There is a little round lake inside the island.
If you look into this lake, you will see beautiful coral. You may think they are flowers.
If you look at a piece of coral, you will see many little holes in it. In each of these holes a very small sea animal has lived. These sea animals make the coral.
They began to build under the water. Year after year, the coral grew higher and higher. At last it grew out of the water.
Then the sea brought it into small trees and something else. After some years, these things changed into earth. Sometimes the wind brought seeds to this earth. Sometimes birds flew over it and brought seeds to the island.
The little seeds grew. In a few years there were plants all over the island. In a few more years there were trees growing there.
So you see, these islands were built little by little. The workers were very small. Do they not teach us a lesson? Can you think what the lesson is?

Millions of years ago, dinosaurs (恐龍) lived on earth. At that time, the whole earth was warm and wet. There were green forests and they could find enough to eat.

❺ 七年級上冊英語閱讀理解題或任務型閱讀題
中考英語任務型英語閱讀理解題解題技巧
[摘 要]
[關鍵詞] 任務型閱讀理解 失分分析 解題技巧
初中英語新課標倡導任務型的教學模式，讓學生通過體驗、實踐、參與、合作、交流和探究等方式，學習和使用英語，完成學習任務，促進語言實際運用能力的提高。中考英語任務型閱讀就是在遵循「課程標准」基礎上，根據任務型教學設計而成的一種新題型。該題型要求學生在閱讀理解的基礎上，去完成一項任務或解決一個問題，它主要考查學生根據所提供語言信息具體解決實際問題的能力，即考查學生運用語言「做事」的能力；同時還注重考查學生的閱讀理解、書面表達、歸納概括、分析理解、邏輯推理及社會生活知識的綜合運用能力。
任務型閱讀理解題題型豐富，近年來考查形式大致如下：回答問題型、判斷正誤型、閱讀填空型、閱讀排序型、閱讀改寫句子型、看圖推斷型。試題既可以按照其中一種形式出現，也可以混合出現。讀寫結合，既增加了試題的難度和區分度，又有效的促進英語學習朝著實用性方向發展，符合了新課改的要求。
考查近幾年的中考英語任務型閱讀理解試題後不難發現，閱讀內容難度整體適中，易於理解，題目設計既不是很直接呈現答案，也不增添解題的彎度。但實際操作解題過程中，卻很容易犯這樣或那樣的錯誤，從而導致了很多不必要的失分。因此，我們有必要讓學生對任務型閱讀有較全面的了解，熟練掌握任務型閱讀的解題技巧。下面，筆者將結合學生答題常見錯誤進一步具體深入解析。
一、明確任務，關注題後要求
實例一：
（2009山東泰安）閱讀下面的短文，並完成短文後的任務。
Waste can be seen everywhere in the school. Some students ask for more food than they can eat and others often forget to turn off the lights when they leave the classroom. They say they can afford these things. But I don』t agree with them.
Waste can bring a lot of problems. Although China is rich in some resources (資源), we are short of others, for example, fresh water. It is reported that we will have no coal or oil to use in 100 years. So if we go on wasting our resources, what can we use in the future and where can we move? Think about it. (3) I think we should say no to the students who waste things every day. Everybody should stop wasting as soon as possible.
In our everyday life, we can do many things to prevent (阻止) waste from happening, for example, turn off the water taps when we finish washing, turn off the lights when we leave the classroom, try not to order more food than we need, and so on. Little by little, everything will be changed. (4) Waste can be stopped one day, if we do our best.
任務1：根據要求答題。(請注意問題後的詞數要求)
1. List the wastes mentioned in the first passage: (within 15 words)
_________________________________________________________________
2. What problems can waste bring? (within 20 words)
(1) ______________________________________________________________
(2) ______________________________________________________________
任務2：將短文中劃線的句子翻譯成漢語。
3. ______________________________________________________________
4. ______________________________________________________________
任務3：請給短文擬一個適當的標題：(within 5 words)
5. ______________________________________________________________
【答案】1. ask for more food，forget to turn off the lights
2. (1) We』ll be short of resources.(fresh water, coal or oil.)
(2) We』ll have nothing to use and nowhere to move./What can we use in the future and where can we move?
3. 我認為我們應該對那些天天浪費東西的學生說不。
4. 如果我們都盡力的話，將來有一天浪費就不會發生了。
5. Stop wasting/No more wasting
分析：這道中考題形式多樣，在同一道題中出現了收集並整理信息、回答問題、翻譯句子、擬標題等多項任務。因此，在未讀材料之前，應仔細閱讀所給任務，做到心中有數，避免答非所問，從而有效的提高做題的效率和准確率。另外，仔細閱讀後不難發現，任務1和任務3題後還有額外的附加要求（within 15 words，within 20 words，within 5 words)，考生稍加馬虎，答題字數就容易超出警戒線！如多於任務一的作答，考生很易寫上: Some students ask for more food than they can eat and others often forget to turn off the lights when they leave the classroom.（共24詞）
二、）對照原文，作答適當修改
（2009甘肅蘭州）
…….At the same time, if you find you are wrong, be sure to correct yourself and apologize to those that you have offended(冒犯). ……
任務2. When you find you make a mistake in the chat room, what should you do?
_____________________________________________________________________
此題考生容易直接抄寫原句，而忘記應將人稱適當調整，答為：if you find you are wrong, be sure to correct yourself and apologize to those that you have offended..
附答案：I should correct myself and apologize to those that I have offended.
任務型閱讀理解不但考查學生閱讀理解的能力，還考查學生寫的能力，所謂讀寫結合。所以在寫的過程中就應特別注意書寫規范：單詞的首字母是否應大寫，單詞拼寫無誤，單詞的詞形、詞性，句子的語法准確，時態語態正確，固定搭配等等。在翻譯句子時尤其要慎重，結合語境，反復斟酌，努力做到萬無一失。
下面是一道滿分為10分的試題， 每題2分。
Do you think about your parents? 「 Yes, of course.」 You may answer, 「 I buy a present for my mother on Mother』s Day. And I give my father a present on Father』s Day.?
Then what about the other days of a year? Always remember to think about your parents. Not just on some important days.
I have a friend. She lives alone. Her parents live in another city.
One day I went to see her. We had a nice chat. Then she wanted to make a call. She dialed( 撥打電話) the number, but then put the phone down. After ten seconds, she dialed the number again. 「 Hi, mom…」
Later I asked, 「 Why did you dial the number twice?」
She smiled, 「 My parents are old. They can』t be quick to answer a call. (1)I always do so when I call them. I just want to give them enough time.」
My friend is a good girl. She is always thinking about her parents. You also want to be a good child, right? (2)why，her, learn ,So , not, from?
1. How should we really think about our parents?
答案一：Not just on some important days.
分析：回答不完整，不能完全覆蓋答題的信息。 不能得分。
答案二：To always remember to think about your parents.
分析：問題是對方式狀語提問，而答句則以目的狀語形式出現，盡管意思表達明白，但只能得1分。因此，回答句子一定要依據問句的形式和內容答題。
答案三：We should remember to think about your parents.
分析：回歸語境不難發現，答句漏掉一個關鍵詞：always.只能得一分。
2. Why did the girl dial the phone number twice?
答案：Her parents are old. They can』t be quick to answer a call. She just wants to give them enough time.
分析：問題是一般過去時態，答句也必須在原文的基礎上適當調整。這樣的作答只能得一分。
3. What do you think of the girl?
答案：She is a good girl and care about her parents.
分析：答句是一個並列句，care 應使用第三人稱單數形式，給一分。
4. 將文中劃線的句子(1)譯成漢語。
答案一：我總是這樣做，當我打電話給他們時。
分析：答案不符合漢語正常語序，給一分。
答案二：當我打電話給他們時，我經常這樣做。
分析：答案未將單詞always准確譯出， 扣0.5分。
答案三：當我打給他們時，我總是這樣做。
分析：答案過於口語化，表達不清晰，給1分。
5. 將文中劃線部分（2）連成一句話。
答案：So, why not learn from her.
分析：答句句末應為問號，扣0.5分。

A small village was troubled by a man-eating lion. So its leaders sent a message to the great hunter, Jonesie, to come and kill the beast.
For several nights the hunter lay in wait for the lion, but it never appeared. Finally, he told the village chief to kill a cow and give him its hide. Draping the skin over his shoulders, he went to the pasture to wait for the lion.
In the middle of the night, the villagers woke to the sound of blood-curdling shrieks coming from the pasture. As they carefully approached, they saw the hunter on the ground, groaning in pain. There was no sign of the lion.
"What happened, Jonesie? Where is the lion?" asked the chief.

However, after several successful predictions, the old Indian didn't show up for two weeks.
Finally the director sent for him. "I have to shoot a big scene tomorrow," said the director, "and I'm depending on you. What will the weather be like?"
The Indian shrugged his shoulders. "Don't know," he said. "Radio is broken."
天氣預報
一個電影攝制組在沙漠深處工作.一天,一個印度老人到導演跟前告訴導演說"明天下雨."第二天果然下雨了.
一周後,印度人又來告訴導演說,"明天有風暴."果然,第二天下了雹暴.
"印度人真神,"導演說.他告訴秘書僱傭該印度人來預報天氣.
幾次預報都很成功.然後,接下來的兩周,印度人不見了.
最後,導演派人去把他叫來了."我明天必須拍一個很大的場景,"導演說,"這得靠你了.明天天氣如何啊?"
印度人聳了聳肩."我不知道,"印度人說,"收音機壞了."

I Am Acting Like a Lady
One day when women's dresses were on sale at the FarEast Department Store, a dignified middle-aged man decided to get his wife a piece. But he soon found himself being battered by frantic women.
He stood it as long as he could; then, with head lowered and arms flailing, he plowed through the crowed.
"You there!" challenged a thrill voice. "Can't you act like a gentleman?"
"Listen," he said, "I have been acting like a gentleman for an hour. From now on, I am acting like a lady."
我要表現得象位女士
一天，遠東百貨公司的女裝大減價，一位高貴的中年男士想給太太買一件。可是，沒過多久，他發現自己已被瘋狂的女人沖得踉踉蹌蹌。
他竭力忍耐著。後來，他低下頭，揮動雙臂，擠過人群。
「你幹嘛？」有人尖聲叫道，「你難道不能表現得象位紳士嗎？」
「聽著，」他說，「我已經象紳士一樣表現了一個小時。從現在起，我要表現得象個女士。」
