I. 阅读下面两篇短文，根据所给语境，按要求完成下列各题。(2014 黄冈)
You can buy chewing gum in nearly every country of the world. ① But it wasn’t always like that.
The American Indians were the first people to chew gum. This gum came from a special tree that
grew on their land. In 1848, a sailor called John Curtis began selling it. He was the first person to sell
chewing gum. The gum he sold cost just a few cents for two pieces. It became popular very quickly
even though it was very hard to chew. ②Nowadays, other things are added to the gum to make it soft
and
sweet.
By 1890, there were hundreds of different chewing gums. The most famous name in chewing gum,
however, is probably William Wrigley. He spent a lot of money in advertising and even sent free pieces
of gum to children on their birthdays.
③He also said that
chewing gum helped people work better and
that it stopped people
from feeling tired.
Although today many millions of people chew gum, not everyone thinks it is a good thing to do.
Many people think it is dirty. The Singapore government does not allow people to buy chewing gum.
One reason for this is that when some people have chewed all the taste out of their piece of gum, they
take it out of their mouths and put it on to the backs of seats or other places.
1. 请将①处翻译成汉语。____________________________________________________
2. 请根据②处内容完成下面句子。（每空一词）
People make chewing gum soft and sweet ______ _______ something to it.
3. 把③处改为直接引语。（每空一词）
He also said, “Chewing gum _______ people work better and it _______ people from feeling
tired.”
II. 阅读下面短文，在表格内的空白处填入合适的答案(每空一词)。(2014 黄冈)
Mail order is a term which describes the buying of goods or services by mail delivery（邮递）. The
buyer places an order for the desired products with the salesman through some remote method such as
through a telephone call or a website. Then, the products are delivered to the customer. The products are
typically delivered directly to an address supplied by the customer, such as a home address, but
sometimes the orders are delivered to a nearby retail location for the customer to pick up. Some
businessmen also allow the goods to be shipped directly to a third customer, which is an effective way
to send a gift to an out-of-town friend.
A mail order catalogue（目录）is a publication including a list of ordinary goods from a company.
Companies who publish and operate mail order catalogues are treated as cataloguers within the industry.
Goods are produced by people all over the world, such as in Australia, the USA, Canada, China etc.
And now many cataloguers, just as with most retailers(零售商), are increasingly buying goods from
China.

III. 任务型阅读：阅读下面短文，根据短文内容，完成下列各题。(2015 陕西)
In the UK, bus journeys are very common. Buses are often convenient（便利的）for the
people who live or work in the city center. Passengers can avoid heavy traffic and not have to
pay for the parking. However, taking the bus is just a necessary but boring part of life: they get
on the bus, pay for it and sit or find a place to stand when it is crowded. Everyone seems sad and bored.
In Latin America, however, bus trips can be wonderful. For a start, films are showed on the buses
between cities for passengers to have fun along the journeys. Local buses do not show films, but drivers
usually turn on the radio and it can be great for passengers to listen to songs and get relaxed.
Even better than films and music are the sights and sounds on the buses. Local buses always go to
parts of the town that passengers would not visit by themselves. There passengers can see shops that they
have never heard about. And they can also see other cultures of the town from the windows of the buses.
Besides, passengers’ luggage(行李) is also interesting. It is common to see a happy dog’s
head getting out of somebody’ s bag or a lovely chicken“ speaking cheerfully” under
somebody’s arm. Once on a bus in Peru, a farmer even tied a sheep to the top of the bus. It
was quite surprising.
In all, taking the bus in Latin America is really fun and unforgettable.
1. According to the passage, in the UK, how to passengers probably feel on the buses?
They probably feel ______________________________.
2. In Latin America, how can people have fun on the buses between cities?
They can .
3. In the writer’s opinion, what are even better than films and music on the buses?
are.
4. Why does the writer think passengers’ luggage is interesting?
Because it’s common to see different kinds of on the buses.
5. What does the passage mainly tell us?
It mainly tells us about in Latin America.
【答案与解析】
I. 阅读下面两篇短文，根据所给语境，按要求完成下列各题。
1. 但是过去并非如此。/ 但过去和现在的情况不一样。此处like 是介词，意为“像”。
2. by adding。考查同义句的转换，由第二句句意“现在，其他东西被加进口香糖中使得它软
而且甜”可知，把它变成主动语态时，此处by 在这里作为介词，介词后面加doing。
3. helps; stops。考查同义句的转换，间接引语变成直接引语，需要注意时态、人称和数的变化，
一般现在时主语是第三人称单数，动词后要注意加-s。
II. 阅读下面短文，在表格内的空白处填入合适的答案(每空一词)。
1. shopping / buying。第一段第一句话Mail order is a term which describes the buying of goods
or
services by mail delivery（邮递），告诉我们：邮购订单是一个描述通过邮递的方式购买商品或服
务的术语。
2. making。第一段第二句中through a telephone call 可知“通过打电话的方式”，by 后接动词
的-ing 形式。
3. looking。由第二段的第一句话A mail order catalogue（目录）is a publication including a list of
ordinary goods from a company. “一张邮购订单目录是一个包含有一家公司的普通货物清单的出
版物”可知，人们可以通过在目录里查询寻来选择他们想要的货物。

place to stand when it is crowded. Everyone seems sad and bored.”可知，乘客们的感受是悲伤
而又无聊。
2. watch a movie(movies) / see a film(film)。从第二段第二句“For a start, films are
showed on the buses between cities for passengers to have fun along the journeys.”可知，人们
可以看电影，所以答案为watch a movie(movies)/see a film(film)。
3. The sights and sound (on the buses)。从第三段第一句“Even better than films and music
are the sights and sounds on the buses.”可知答案。
4. animals。由第四段内容可知，公共汽车上的各种动物让作者感到有趣。故填animals。
5. the bus trip(journey) /trips(journeys)。根据文章主要描述了拉丁美洲的公共汽车之旅，故填
the bus trip(journey) /trips(journeys)。

一的。
请看下面例题：
阅读下面短文，然后根据短文内容每空填写一个单词。
Katie Spotz is a 22-year-old girl form America. She wants to cross the Atlantic Ocean by
boat. If she succeeds, she’ll be the youngest and the first American to finish the 2500-mile trip.
Spotz began sailing when she was at university, but she has never tried to sail such a long
way before. It will be a great challenge for her. In recent years, she has swum all the way
down the 325-mile Allegheny River and traveled by bike from Seattle to Washington.
Spotz knows that she may see some dangerous things during the trip. It will be very
dangerous if she meets very bad weather in the middle of the sea. But she believes that she
can deal with all the difficulties.
“I never thought I could run 26 miles,” she said. “But once I finished it, I realized that
maybe I could do something even more difficult.”
Spotz wants to collect money by going on this trip. She wants to collect money for an
organization called “ Blue Planet run”. The organization offers free, safe drinking water to
people who need it.
It’ll take her about three months to finish this trip. Good luck to this brave girl and best
wishes to her!

【答案与解析】
（1）22 （2）2500 （3）bad （4）money （5）3/three
（1）根据短文第一句“Katie Spotz is a 22-year-old girl form America.”可知。
（2）根据短文第三句“she’ll be the youngest and the first American to finish the 2500-mile
trip.”可知。
（3）根据第三段第二句“It will be very dangerous if she meets very bad weather in the middle
of the sea”可知。
（4）根据第五段的第二句She wants to collect money for an organization called “Blue Planet
run”.可知。

3) 阅读短文改写句子
这种题型要求在阅读材料的基础上,根据命题要求,改写文中划线的句子,或将文中的某一个句子译
成英语或者汉语等。这一形式涉及到写，就应当特别注意书写规范、拼写无误、语法正确等。
【注意】
要认真分析短文中划线句子的语法结构，注意句子的时态、语态，是简单句还是复合句，然后根
据要求进行句型改写。要注意一些同义词短语的替换，为改写同义句打好基础。句子的意思、时态
不能改变，改变的是句子的不同表达方式。对于一些翻译要注意英语和汉语的不同表达，切不可按
照汉语的思维方式来翻译。

of a whole list of things I should never do: never accept food or candy from strangers, never get in a car
with strangers, and so on.
But if we didn’t start a conversation with strangers, we’d never make new friends. We’d never get a
job. ①We may miss the joy that comes from talking with strangers. And the more people you know, the
more chances you can find.
The following passage offers you some advice on how to ②break the ice.
Don’t just stare at your shoes. Go and say “Hi” to that new guy. It will be easier to break the ice if
you know more about different cultures.
British: Beautiful day, isn’t it?
The weather in Britain is changeable. So, it’s one of the topics the British care most about. And
there’s a simple rule: Say “Yes” whether you agree with the person’s idea on the weather or not.
③That’s because the British start a conversation using the weather so that they can continue their talk.
French: Where did you go on holiday?
To talk with a French person, the safest way is to ask about his or her last holiday. French students
enjoy a 10-to-15-day holiday every two months. French employees( 雇员)get more than six weeks of
holidays per year.
American: So, where are you from?
The US is so big and people move so often that location is always a source(来源) of talk. You can
try to find a connection with the place they’re from. For example, if someone’s from Los Angeles, you
could say, “Oh, I have a friend who studied there.”
(1) 将文中①处划线句子翻译成汉语。
_______________________________________________
(2) 将文中②处划线短语翻译成汉语。
_______________________________________________
(3) 将文中③处划线句子改写成同义句。
That’s because the British start a conversation using the weather ______ ______their talk.
(4) What do you usually talk about to start a conversation with a French person?
_______________________________________________
(5) What is the main idea of the passage?
_______________________________________________
【答案与解析】
（1）
我们可能会错过与陌生人交流的快乐。
miss 在此处的意思是“错误”；that 引导定语从句修饰joy；come from 的意思是“来自于”；talk
with sb.表示“同某人谈话”。
（2）
打破沉默/打破僵局/开始说话。
break the ice 是习惯用法，表示“打破沉默，打破僵局”。
（3）
to continue/ for continuing
use sth. to do sth.=use sth. for doing sth. 用……来做……
（4）
I/ We can/ usually talk about his/ her (last) holiday./ A holiday./ Holidays.
根据“To talk with a French person, the safest way is to ask about his or her last holiday.”可知答案。
（5）
How to start/ begin a conversation with a stranger/ How to break the ice (with strangers).
文中“The following passage offers you some advice on how to break the ice.”是中心句，起到承上启
下的作用，据此可以作答。
因为任务型阅读命题的灵活性，除了上述题型外，各地中考题中还有根据释义写出文中出现
地址：北京市西城区新德街20 号4 层 电话：010-82025511 传真：010-82079687 第6页 共7页
让更多的孩子得到更好的教育
的单词，或要求学生阅读一段文字，并根据文中所提供的信息画出示意图，如：路径、空间位置的设
计图、物体形状图等题型，其目的都是考查学生运用语言去做事的能力。但是，无论题型如何变换，
只要我们有扎实的英语知识、灵活的解题方法、尤其是认真地解题态度，都会迎刃而解的。
2. 任务型阅读的解题技巧：
1) 明确任务。
由于题目要求形式多样，在同一篇阅读材料中会要求完成不同的任务，因此解题前要先明确任
务，看清要求，做到心中有数。
2) 一一对应，紧扣原文。
即在原文中找出问题的题干所包括的信息部分，这样就可以快速准确地抓住有效信息，确保答
题的准确性。如果是根据英文释义写单词的题，则一定要确保所填的单词来源于原文，切不可脱离
原文，随意发挥。
3) 注意读写结合。
任务型阅读不仅考查学生阅读理解层面的能力，更加注重考查学生“写”的能力。若是写单词，
则要注意拼写正确，词形、词性有无变化，是否需要大写；若所要完成的是短语或句子成分，则更需
谨慎对待，依据所给题干分析要完成的是什么句子成分，需用什么样的表达方式，不可简单草率地
将文中信息直接挪用。
4) 认真检查。
完成任务后要重新审视材料，检查所做的答案是否复合要求，同时语言要精练准确。
