《2009年江蘇高考說明》一書為任務型閱讀提供了兩種示例——表格式和樹狀式。題例中要求考生根據所讀內容在文章后表格中的空格里填入最恰當的單詞。注意:每空一詞。這種類型的題目主要考查學生的以下三個能力。
·捕捉信息能力:屬基礎題。
·組織信息能力:屬活用題。
·綜合概括信息能力:屬概括題,
答案的分布特征往往有如下幾種情況:
●直接用原文中的詞
●根據文中詞匯進行變形或同義轉換
●根據文章的意思進行推理和總結
這類新題型其實是對學生閱讀理解能力的另一種考查方法,要想做好這類題型,首先要訓練兩種基本技能。
一、信息轉換技能
1.解題關鍵:在這個步驟中需要學生根據問題查找定位信息,加工分析并轉換成另一種表達方式。
2.常見的轉換方式
(1)另選其他詞來釋義
例如:
①James Michael became hooked on headphones his early teens and lost much of his hearing.James Michael lost much of his hearing due to being addicted to headphones.
②The rapidly aging population results from years of low or negative birthrates.Low birthrates bring about rapidly aging population.
③Malingers should understand clearly how computerized information systems work.Itsnecessary for managers to have a clear understanding of computerized informationsystems.
④In minutes,you can contact another person who shares your love of kites or stamps.Within a short time,it lets us contact another person who has interest in common.
(2)同義詞、反義詞轉換
(3)句子結構轉換
例如:句意不變,注意詞形轉換
①However,the travel rush usually begins up to two weeks before that,and will last 40 days froni Jan.11 to Feb.19.How ever,the travel rush usually begins from Jan.11 to Feb.19.1asting 40 days.
②In place of a few financial control,managers can depend on computer-based in formation systems to control activities in every area of their company.

④other changes to the policy include the removing of the age restrictions and lowering of experience requirements.

(4)前綴和后綴轉換
(5)詞性轉換
例如:根據句意,關注詞性的變化
ableunableabilityenabledisabled disability
①Unable to move,he had no choice but to lie there.
②The Internet is advancing rapidly,which enables us to have access to as much information aspossible.
③To the couples sadness,their first child was physically.disabled.
④It is the ability to do the job that matters not where you come from or what you are.(2000全國卷)

②American English is significantly different from British English.
③He can absolutely tell the differences and similarities between the two paintings.
④Opinions on the issue vary from person to person.
⑤Varieties of products are offered to consumers to choose from.
二、信息歸納技能
1.解題關鍵:根據問題查找定位信息,并找出信息的共性。
2.歸納詞的特征:一般情況下這些詞應具備以下特征,概括性(在最大程度上覆蓋欄內信息),針對性(量體裁衣,大小適度)以及醒目性(簡潔,明了)
其次,在做題的過程中還應掌握兩個基本步驟。
三、兩讀
1.速覽(scanning)--掌握主旨,帶著問題,找到文章對應點,確認題型,分析整理歸納信息并且準確表達信息。
2.細讀(detailed reading)——復讀文章,反復揣摩所填之詞是否符合文章內容
四、兩審
1.審結構表達
2.審語法運用(tense,spelling,handwriting,single or plural noun,capital letter,agreement)最后,為了更好地做好任務型閱讀,平時要積累一些有效詞匯。
常見的一些概括性詞匯有:
(1)原因reason(for)cause(of)
(2)結果resulteffectconsequence
(3)目的aimpurposegoalintention
(4)觀點opinion viewattitude
(5)異同differences similarities
(6)優劣advantages disadvantages strengths weaknesses benefits drawbacks
(7)總結 conclusion summary
各類常見詞匯
(1)地點類place location address destination
(2)事件類event phenomenon theme content origin
(3)問題類problem issue topic chance challenge
(4)方法類way method approach solution means measure step
(5)建議類 suggestion advice tip suggest advise
