专题四任务型阅读考试大纲要求考纲解读要求考生读懂简易的英语文学作品、科普文章、公告、说明、广告,以及书籍、报纸、杂志中关于一般性话题的简短文章并回答相关问题。考生应能根据文中提供的信息,用恰当的词语完成与短文相关的图表。该题属综合能力考查题,强调主观表达能力、语言理解能力和逻辑推断能力。从某种意义上来说,任务型阅读是客观题阅读到主观题的自然过渡,其能力要求在阅读理解以上、书面表达以下。此题型重点考查语言的综合运用能力,也可以理解为另一种方式的阅读,因此,考生必须具备一定的阅读和写作能力。江苏高考任务型阅读近五年考情分布年份标题词数阅读文体2018HowArtsPromoteOurEconomy416说明文2017PopulationChange488说明文2016AnExtensionoftheHumanBrain430说明文2015WhatNewsStoriesDoYouRead?411说明文2014WhatIsPeerPressure407议论文从上表可以看出,近五年江苏高考任务型阅读的文章体裁以说明文为主,偶有议论文出现,词数在400~500之间,一般都比较难。这类文章结构清晰,很容易把握文章脉络。在题材的选取上更加富有时代气息,更加贴近考生的实际生活。要想任务型阅读得高分,考生必须具备极强的信息转换和概括能力!在复习中,要注意以下几点:1.注意对词义和词性转化的积累,提高对固定搭配的敏感度。2.重视对句子、段落与文章之间的逻辑关系的剖析,多进行概括总结题的训练。3.熟读课文和历年高考真题中的任务型阅读、完形填空和阅读理解经典篇目,培养对原汁原味文章深入理解的语感。HowArtsPromoteOurEconomyWhenmostpeoplethinkofthearts,theyimaginetheendproduct,thebeautifulpainting,awonderfulpieceofmusic,oranaward-winningperformanceinthetheater.Butartsgroupsbringbroadervaluetoourcommunities.Theeconomicimpactoftheartsisoftenoverlookedandbadlyjudged.Theartscreatejobsthathelpdeveloptheeconomy.Anygivenperformancetakesatourbusfullofartists,technicalexperts,managers,musicians,orwriterstocreateanappealingpieceofart.Thesepeopleearnalivingwagefortheirprofessionalknowledgeandskills.Anothergroupoffolksisneededtohelpmarkettheevent.“Ifyoubuildittheywillcome”isamisleadingbelief.Painters,digitalmediaexperts,photographers,bookingagentsandpromotersarehiredtosellticketsandpromotetheevent.AccordingtotheDallasAreaCulturalAdvocacyCoalition,artsagenciesemploymorethan10,000peopleasfull-orpart-timeemployeesorindependentcontractors.Asuccessfulartsneighborhoodcreatesarippleeffect(连锁反应)throughoutacommunity.In2005,whentheBishopArtsTheatrewasdonatedtoourtown,thelocationwasconsideredapoorareaoftown.Afterinvestingmorethan$1millioninreconstructingthebuilding,webeganproducingafullseasonoftheaterperformances,jazzconcerts,andyear-roundartseducationprogramsin2008.Nearly40percentofjazzloversliveoutsideoftheDallascitylimitsanddriveorflyintoenjoyaneveningintheBishopArtsDistrict.Nodoubtthetheaterhascontributedtothearea’sdevelopmentandeconomicgrowth.Today,therearegalleries,studios,restaurantsandnewlybuiltworkspaceswhereneighborsshareexperiences,wherethereisrenewedlifeandenergy.Inthisway,artsandculturealsoserveasapublicgood.TeCoTheatricalProductionsInc.madeuseofBloomberg’sinvestmentof$35,000togetnearly$400,000inpublicandprivatesectorsupportduringthetwo-yearperiod.Further,Dallasartsandarts-basedbusinessesproduce$298foreverydollarthecityspendsonartsprogrammingandfacilities.InPhiladelphia,ametroareasmallerthanDallas,theartshaveaneconomicimpactofalmost$3billionandsupport44,000jobs,80percentofwhichactuallylieoutsidetheartsindustry,includingaccountants,marketers,constructionworkers,hotelmanagers,printers,andotherkindsofartworkers.Theartsareefficienteconomicdriversa...
