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。

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。
