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.?

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.

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。

Inside the Russian Embassy in London a KGB colonel puffed a cigarette as he read the handwritten note for the third time. There was no need for the writer to express regret, he though. Correcting this problem would be easy. He would do that in a moment. The thought of it caused a grim smile to appear and joy to his heart. But he pushed away those thoughts and turned his attention to a framed photograph on his desk. His wife was beautiful, he told himself as he remembered the day they were married. That was forty-three years ago, and it had been the proudest and happiest day of his life.
在倫敦的俄國使館，一位克格勃上校一邊吞雲吐霧，一邊讀著一張手寫的字條，這已是他第三次在讀這張字條了。便條的作者不必表示遺憾了，上校這樣想著。糾正這個錯誤其實很容易。他只要一會兒工夫便會做到。想到這里，他的臉上不禁浮現出一種可怕的笑容，他內心深處既傷感而又快活。上校從沉思中游離出來，將注意力集中到桌子上的一個像框上，他的妻子是位美麗的女人，當想起他們成婚的那一天時他不禁自語道。那已是43年前的事情了，可卻是他一生中最自豪最幸福的日子。
What had happened to all that time? Why had it passed so quickly, and why hadn't he spent more of it with her? Why hadn't he held her close and told her more often that he loved her? He cursed himself as a tear came from the corner of his eye, ran down his cheek, then dropped onto the note. He stiffened and wiped his face with the back of his hand. There was no need for remorse or regret, he told himself. In a few moments he would join her and at that time would express his undying love and devotion.
那些時候都發生了什麼？為什麼時光流逝得如此之快？為什麼他沒能將更多的時光用來陪伴她？為什麼他沒能將她摟緊，更多次地告訴她他愛她？他於是開始詛咒起自己，淚水也忍不住奪眶而出，流過面頰，最後滴落在字條上。這時，他板起了面孔，用手背揩去了眼淚。已經沒有必要來自責與悔恨了，他對自己說道。很快他不就會與她團聚了嗎？到那時，他將再向她表達他永恆的愛與忠心。
After setting the note ablaze he dropped it into an ashtray and watched it burn. For a time the names cast moving shadows on the walls of the darkened room, then they nickered and died out. The colonel dropped the cigarette to the floor and ground it out with his heel, then clutched the photograph to his breast, removed a pistol from his pocket, placed the barrel in his mouth and pulled the trigger. In the ashtray a small portion of the note remained. Where it had been wetted by his tear it had failed to bum, and on that scrap of paper were the words "died yesterday."
他點燃了字條，將它扔進了煙灰缸中，看著它慢慢地燃燒起來。在火苗的映襯下，這間漆黑的屋子裡的四壁一時變得影影綽綽。不一會兒，火苗成了星星點點，漸漸地熄滅了。上校把香煙扔在了地板上，用後腳跟碾滅，隨後抓起照片放在自己的胸前。他從衣兜中掏出了一把手槍，將槍筒放進自己的嘴中，接著扣動扳機。在煙灰缸中還殘留著一小片字條，由於被上校的淚水浸濕而未能燃盡。在這塊殘片上有這樣幾個字「昨天去世」。

正值北京奧運會開幕式前整整一千天之際，五個奧運會吉祥物揭開了神秘的面紗。人們翹首以待的奧運吉祥物代表了中國最受歡覎的四種動物——魚、熊貓、藏羚羊及燕子。第五個吉祥物是熊熊燃燒的奧運聖火。
每個吉祥物都有一個疊音名字。在中國，疊音名字是對孩子們表示喜愛的一種傳統方式。貝貝代表魚，晶晶代表熊貓，歡歡代表奧運聖火，覎覎代表藏羚羊，而妮妮代表燕子。把他們的名字放在一起就是「北京歡覎您！」

這是第一次有三個以上的吉祥物共同承擔代表東道國的重任。吉祥物設計組組長韓美林解釋說：「中國有如此博大精深的文化，不是一個吉祥物就能完全展示出來的。所以我們選擇設計出五個而不是一個的吉祥物。
Keep Your Direction 堅持你的方向
What would you do if you failed? Many people may choose to give up. However, the surest way to success is to keep your direction and stick to your goal.
On your way to success, you must keep your direction. It is just like a lamp, guiding you in darkness and helping you overcome obstacles on your way. Otherwise, you will easily get lost or hesitate to go ahead.
Direction means objectives. You can get nowhere without an objective in life.
You can try to write your objective on paper and make some plans to achieve it. In this way, you will know how to arrange your time and to spend your time properly. And you should also have a belief that you are sure to succeed as long as you keep your direction all the time.
翻譯：
如果失敗了你會怎麼做？很多人可能會選擇放棄。然而，要想成功，最可靠的方法就是堅持你的方向和目標。
在通往成功的路上，你必須堅持你的方向。它就像一盞燈，在黑暗中為你指路，幫助你度過難關。否則，你很容易就會迷失方向或猶豫不前。
方向意味著目標。人生如果沒有目標，將一事無成。
你可以試著把你的目標寫在紙上，並制定實現目標的計劃。這樣，你就會懂得如何合理安排時間，如何正確地支配時間。而且你還要有這樣的信念：只要你一直堅持自己的方向，你就一定可以成功。

The Feast of Christmas
It is not easy to pin-point the origins of the Christmas feast, today the more important feast of the Christmas season in most western Christian churches. One can only say for certain that the birth of Jesus Christ was being celebrated in Rome by the year 336 A.D.; afterwards the feast was celebrated in other Christian churches throughout the world.
Why it was celebrated on December 25th is another question. No date for the birth of Jesus can be found in the New Testament, which is concerned more with the question "Who is Jesus?" than the date of his birth. Early Christian speculation about his birth date was influenced by the symbolism of the changing seasons, then popular in religious thought, which paid careful attention to the equinoxes and solstices of the sun. Christian scholars speculated that Jesus was conceived at the spring equinox (March 25th) and therefore was born on December 25th, the date of the winter solstice.
In many of the Christian churches, March 25th is still the Feast of the Annunciation, when the Angel Gabriel announced to Mary that she was to be the mother of Jesus.
Possible impluse for the feast of Christmas may have came too from the establishment of the pagan feast of the "Unconquered Sun-God" by the Emperor Aurelian in 274 A.D. to be celebrated on December 25, the day of the winter solstice in Rome and throughout the empire. In response, Christians could celebrate the feast of the "Sun of righteousness" (Malachi 4,2), Jesus Christ, who called himself " the light of the world."
