任务型阅读 阅读下面短文，根据短文内容，完成下列各题。（共5小题，计10分） Language is always changing and developing. This isn’t a bad thing. If English hadn’t changed for a long time, we won’t have words to describe telephones, washing machines, computers or some other new things. Language changes for several reasons. First, it changes because the needs of its speaker change. New technologies, new products, and new experiences need new words to express them clearly. Another reason for change is that different people have different language experiences. People use different sets of words and expressions, because they have different ages, jobs, education levels(水平) and so on. How does language develop then? On the one hand, many of the languages changes begin with young people. When young people communicate with others of their own age, their language grows in grammar, words and expressions that are different from the older people’s. Some have a short lifetime but others can influence the language for long. On the other hand, we get new words in many different ways. We borrow them from other languages, we create them by making words shorter or combining words and we make them out of proper names. Languages that don’t change over time are considered dead languages. The fact that English changes so much shows that it is alive and well. 小题1:What does the writer think of the change and development of language? He thinks it is                       . 小题2:Why do people use different sets of words and expressions according to the passage? Because their          and education levels are different. 小题3:How many reasons for language change are mentioned in this passage? The writer mentions          reasons. 小题4:How do young people help develop language? They do it when they                  others of their own age. 小题5: What is considered a dead language according to the passage? The one that                   over time is considered a dead language.

答案

小题1:not a bad thing / not bad / a good thing / good   小题2:ages, jobs 小题3:two / 2 小题4:communicate (talk) with 小题5:doesn’t change / never changes / keeps (stays) the same

试题分析：本文叙述了语言总是在发展变化的，这不是一件坏事。语言变化的原因为，说话者本身变化的需要，以及不同的人有不同的语言经历。语言变化的方式是：一方面是许多语言变化是从年轻人开始的；另一方面是我们用许多不同的方法获得新词。语言不随着时间而变化，会被认为是死语言。 小题1:根据 Language is always changing and developing. This isn’t a bad thing. 可知作者认为语言的发展变化不是意见坏事情，故此处为not a bad thing / not bad / a good thing / good 。  小题2:根据People use different sets of words and expressions, because they have different ages, jobs, education levels(水平) and so on.可知人们用不同的单词和短语，因为他们有不同的年龄、工作和受教育水平等。故此处为ages, jobs。 小题3:根据First, it changes because the needs of its speaker change.和Another reason for change is that different people have different language experiences.可知本文提到了语言变化的两个原因，故此处为two / 2。 小题4:根据When young people communicate with others of their own age, their language grows in grammar, words and expressions that are different from the older people’s. 可知年轻人和同龄人交流时，他们的语言在语法、词汇和短语不同于年长的人。故此处为communicate (talk) with。 小题5: 根据Languages that don’t change over time are considered dead languages. 可知不随着时间而变化的语言被认为是死语言。故此处为doesn’t change / never changes / keeps (stays) the same。

政治经济类阅读

考点名称：政治经济类阅读

• 政治经济类阅读：
  该类文章时代气息浓郁，语言鲜活，但熟字新义词、超纲词及专业词语多，长句、难句多。
  政治类文章大多数是同学们感性趣的内容，读起来倒有似曾相识的感觉，经济类文章读起来就像是雾里看花，文章看完，一头雾水。
  再加之这类文章的命题侧重于词义猜测、推理判断和文章主旨，同学们对这类题材是望而生畏。
  

• 政治经济类阅读注意：
  1、要做好这类阅读，平时就要注意了解国内外发生的政治经济大事，掌握一定背景知识；
  2、对这类文章的叙述特点及内容安排有一定了解，还要扩展这方面的词汇；
  3、阅读这类文章，要抓住文章的核心，即文章整体和各段主要在说什么，也要注意段落之间的逻辑关系。

  政治经济类阅读技巧：
  针对不同体裁的文章，我们要采取相应的阅读方法和技巧。政治类文章多采用记叙文形式，我们可采取“顺读法”，以便抓关键语句，领会文章主旨；而经济类文章则多采用说明文形式，我们则可以采取“逆读法”，先读试题，再从文章中查找有用信息。若遇到的确难读的材料。
  1. 寻找主干：
  根据英语中五种基本句型结构，把句子中的主语、谓语、宾语、表语等主要成分找出来，其他成分如定语、状语、补语等则易于理解。找到了句子主干，句子的意思至少明白了一半。
  2. 剔除从句：
  在一个长句中可能会出现若干个从句，在理解时，如果把各个从句剔除出来单独理解，然后把大意拼凑起来，整个长句的意思就会明白六、七分。
  3. 辨别分句：
  一个长句如果是由几个并列、转折、递进、对比关系的分句组成，句中往往有表示这些分句关系的连接词，只要能弄清楚分句和分句之间的逻辑关系，再把各层分句的意思加以连贯，整个长句的句意基本上能跃然脑中。
  4. 寻找关键词：
  如果一个句子看完，一点句意的感觉也没有，下下策就是抓住句中的关键词，通过关键词大体弄懂这个长句的意思。
