高考英语信息匹配题答题技巧与考题呈现信息匹配题是近年来高考英语中出现的一个新题型，其目的是考查考生通过快速阅读获取信息和处理信息的能力。从目前的情况来看，这类题型的所涉及文章体裁大都属于应用文，如广告(含招聘广告、产品销售广告、宣传广告等)、简历、图书资料、社交书信和产品说明书等，总的说来，其实用性比较强。该题型的显著特点是：情景内容具体，人物角色明确，任务定位合理、针对性强。
技巧1 巧用先题后文法
先题后文法是同学们做阅读理解非常常用的一种方法，它指的是在做阅读理解题时，先读题目，然后带着问题去读文章，遇上相关信息画上记号，最后再通过分析和比较得出答案。对于信息匹配题来说，“先题后文”指的就是先读匹配对象，然后带着匹配对象中的关键信息阅读前面的信息材料，最后确定答案。这种方法的好处就在于，它可以提高阅读的针对性，从而提高答题速度和答题的准确性。
技巧2 巧辨关键信息
采用先题后文的方法目的是为了有针对性地寻找答题信息，但有时答题信息不止一个，可能有多个，此时就需要考生能够辨认其中的关键信息，并将其与题目所给对象进行匹配。比如有一篇信息匹配题是这样的，题目先给出几段招聘广告，然后给出几个求职者的工作简历和求职意向进行信息匹配。其中有一个求职者的情况如下：
Lynne Nagata. Lynne, aged 65, once worked in a kindergarten. She is now a housewife, helping
her daughter with her housework on weekdays. She is looking for a part-time job.
同学们读了此信息后，可大致了解Lynne Nagata的基本情况：65岁，曾在幼儿园工作，现为家庭主妇，周日为自己的女儿做家务，求兼
职工作。然后同学们带着这些信息去阅读相关广告，初扫一眼，初步对比之后，发现下面这两个广告比较接近：
Teacher Needed: Tommy’s Kindergarten needs 2 teachers /
trainers to help with classes from 9 a.m to 3 p.m. Applicants
should have appropriate licenses. For more information visit
Tommy’s Kindergarten in Leicester Square No. 56.
Part-time work available: We are looking for retired adults
who would like to work part-time at the weekend.
Responsibilities include answering the telephones and giving
customers information. For more information contact us by
calling 345-674132.
前面的第一则广告中有一个信息很关键，那就是Kindergarten。这个广告初看好像很适合Lynne
Nagata，但继续往后面看，就不合适了，因为它要求从早上9点工作到下午3点，且要求具有相应的资格证，这些似乎与Lynne Nagata的信息不很吻合。然后我们再看后面的第二则广告，这里面有好两个关键信息：一是“retried(退休)”与“65岁”很吻合；二是“周末兼职”与“周日帮女儿帮家务”也很吻合，因为只需周日做家务就意味着周末有空。显然答案只能是第二则广告了。
技巧3 巧用文体知识
不同的文体往往有其特定格式化内容，如招聘广告中的通常有年龄、学历、经历等方面的要求，产品宣传广告通常有产品的特点、优势、价格等信息，等等。考生在做题时，要注意根据题目要求，同时结合各阅读材料的具体内容，通过比较和分析，从而确定答案。
技巧4 巧补省略文字
信息匹配题通常涉及的是应用文，而应用文类文体的语言都比较简
洁和精炼，有时甚至还会出现一些省略句，考生做题时若能具备这方面的一些知识和能力，并能根据上下文对有所省略的句子作出准确理解，则可大大提高得分率。如招聘广告中经常用到的Typist Needed就是一个典型的省略句，为A typist is
needed之省略，其意为“招聘打字员”。又如下面是某人与一个渔夫朋友的对话，其中用的均为省略句，你看看能否读懂：
A：Going?
B：Been.
A：Big?
B：Small.
以上四个句子均为省略句，若补充完整则为：
A：Are you going fishing?
B：No. I have been fishing.
A：Have you caught any big fish?
B：No. I only caught some small fish.
像这样的省略假若同学们不能作出正确理解，其后的题目自然就无法答出了。
技巧5 排除生词干扰
信息匹配题中有时会出现生词，尤其是一些广告类应用文，通常会出现一些考生不认识的人名、地名、书名、电影名、产品名、网站名等，考生在阅读时可以跳过这些生词，先从整体上了解一下材料的主要内容，对于其中的生词通常只要大致弄清它们表示的哪一方面的意思就可以了。事实上，很多含有生词的信息往往并不是实质性的命题点。在具体操作上，考生可以这样进行：对于不熟悉的人名，可以理解为“某人”；对于不熟悉的地名，可以理解为“某地”；对于不熟悉的书名，可以理解为“某书”；对于不熟悉的电影名，可以理解为“某电影”；以此类
推。
技巧6 巧用标注记号
要阅读材料信息时可用笔划出关键点，以引起注意，便于记忆和理顺思路。同时，对于已选用的匹配项，也可用笔标明，以排除干扰，减轻大脑负担，从而提高解题速度和答题的准确性。假若在五个题目中已经匹配了三个，并且均很有把握，而剩下的两个还一时拿不准，此时可以在已经做好题目前打个钩，在拿不准的两个题目前打个问号，这样可以缩小匹配范围，提高针对性。

5．An old couple, aged 65 and 68. They love mountain scenery and still take easy walks by the lakeside when they can. They hope to enjoy fresh air and some relaxing activities.
A．Edinburgh. Post House
A popular base for visitors to Edinburgh, this fine hotel stands next to the zoological Gardens within easy reach of the many famous sights, shops and entertainments of one of Europe’s most elegant capitals.
B．Gatehouse of Fleet. Cally Hotel
This impressive hotel, well-known for its good Scottish cooking, is an ideal choice for a relaxing family holiday.

D．Inverness. Royal Hotel!
A unique feature of the Royal is its fine collection of antique furniture, china and glass. This friendly comfortable hotel, a favourite meeting place for the townspeople, is an excellent base for getting to know the Highlands-Lake Ness, Great Gien and Culloden Moor are all within easy reach.

Here are five letters from readers listed in 1-5. All the greetings and signatures are left out. Suppose you are a secretary of the magazine CR (Crazy English Reader), for each one find a suitable reply from A-F. Mark the correct letter (A-F) on your answer sheet. There is one extra reply which you don’t need to use.
1. I am a reader of CR. Recently I found students translate some articles of CR. I appreciate your offering an opportunity to us beginners to practise using English. So I want to ask how they can obtain these articles and translated them for you, and what qualities you require. Thank you.
2. I love your Crazy English Reader magazine! It provides valuable data for work in our English teaching. My wife and I are teaching Conversational English so I’ve been giving you a bit of a plug at our middle school. I told the students to “get a copy!” It’s good stuff! Fantastic!
3. I’m one of Yao’s fans from Guangzhou. I have read the Yao Ming articles in No.7 Crazy English Reader. I want to know his correspondence address and the official website. Could you please tell me? Thank you very much indeed.
4. First of all, I must say thank you very much to all the CE Reader editors who gave us a really good English magazine. Secondly, I want to give you a piece of advice. In each passage, you gave us some new words with their Chinese translation. However, as far as my knowledge, I think you should give us not only the Chinese meaning but also the English meaning so as to know the words more accurately. Thank you!
5. I am an editor of the English Monthly of our school. I have a question that is how to say the position of the paper e.g., 总编责任编辑and so on. I hope you can help me to tell me the word in English. The more the better. Thank you so much! I love the book very much. Now, I do this work, I need study more information about this work, if you have time, please email me. Thank you.
A．Thank you for your suggestion. We may try that in some future issues of CR. I think the best way to improve your reading vocabulary is to
be able to guess the meaning of the word from the other words
around it. Also, if you have an English dictionary, it’s good to look
up the words and then mark them down in a notebook and review
them later on. Then if you really want to learn how to use the words,
try using them in conversation or in writing. Hope this helps.
B．The best way for you to learn the different positions in a newspaper or magazine is to get a copy of an all-English magazine or newspaper
and then copy down the different positions. There are also titles such
as Managing Editor, reporter, Copy Editor, Photo Editor and Layout
Editor. I hope this helps. If you have some more specific questions,
you can send them to me and I’ll try to answer.
C．The best way to reach Yao directly is through his home team, the Shanghai Sharks. You can write him at 2570 Xietu Road, Shanghai. For more information on Yao, you can look at the sports section in sina. com. I hope this helps. Another idea is that you can try to write Yao while he’s living and playing in Houston. You can try to reach Yao in the US at:
Yao Ming Compaq Centre 10 Houston, TX 77046
D．Thank you for being such a careful reader of CR. Yes, you’re right we made a mistake in the writing of that Chinese word. Each issue
we try to read very carefully each article and its translation to make
sure there are no mistakes, but unfortunately a few mistakes always
get by. But you encourage us to keep improving, so thank you.
E．Yes, we do have several students who help us translate some of the articles in our magazine. We contact these translators directly after
interviewing their translation work. Afterwards we assign the articles
to them for translation. If you are interested in being one of our
translators you can send us some information about yourself and a
sample of your translation work.
F．Thank you for helping us to promote CR. We’re glad it’s helpful to your students. We always try to include articles that reflect real life.
It’s our hope that CR will not only improve student’s English but also
open up a different worldview.

The following people are expressing their thoughts (1--5) to show their concern for food, environment and so on．After that are pieces of related information (A--F) ．Now decide which piece of information would be most suitable for the thought and idea mentioned in questions61---5 and mark your answer letter (A---F) on your answer sheet．There is one extra paragraph which you do not need to use.
______1．How I was struck by the clear water and fresh air in my childhood!
But everything has changed, that is, the clear water and fresh air are
nowhere to be found again as they were． Above all, a great deal of
waste hardly rots away.
______2．More and more people are beginning to have a good knowledge of the importance of a safer and cleaner environment, which in turn forces
the business to be cleaned up.
______3．Organic products are getting more and more popular among people, but we should know the fact that organic products might also have
something to do with pesticides.
______4．I`m very much fond of growing some vegetables of my own in my small garden, for many vegetables on sale in markets are actually
becoming more and more dangerous as a result of widespread
pesticides.
______5．Nowadays it is very convenient for consumers to find and buy green food in supermarkets as they are clearly marked.
A．"Organic produce is always better, "Gold said．"The food is free of pesticides(农药) ,and you are generally supporting family farms instead of large farms．And more often than not it is locally grown and seasonal, so it is more tasty." Gold is one of a growing number of shoppers buying into the organic trend, and supermarkets across Britain are counting on more like him as they grow their organic food business.
B．Market research shows that Gold and others who buy organic food can generally give clear reasons for their preferences - but their knowledge of organic food is far from complete．For example, small amounts of pesticides can be used on organic products．And about three quarters of organic food in Britain is not local but imported to meet growing demand．"The demand for organic food is increasing by about one third every year, so it is a very fast-growing market, "said Sue Flock, a specialist in this line of business.
C．Many cities around the world today are heavily polluted．Careless methods of production and lack of consumer demand for environment-friendly products have contributed to the pollution problem．One result is that millions of tons of glass, paper, plastic, and metal containers are produced, and these are difficult to get rid of.
D．However, today, more and more consumers are choosing "green" and demanding that the products they buy should be safe for the environment．Before they buy a product, they ask questions like these: "Will this shampoo damage the environment?" "Can this metal container be reused or can it only be used once?"
E．Only a few years ago, it was impossible to find green products in supermarkets, but now there are hundreds．Some supermarket products carry labels(标签) to show that the product is green．Some companies have made the manufacturing(制造) of clean and safe products their main selling point and emphasize it in their advertising.
F．The concern for a safer and cleaner environment is making companies rethink how they do business．No longer will the public accept the old
attitude of "Buy it, use it, throw it away, and forget it." The public pressure is on, and gradually business is cleaning up its act.

高考英语答题技巧解题方法集锦 （仅供参考） 听力测试的主要形式有：对话理解，短文理解。对话理解是考查学生在一定语境或情景中所表现出的快速反应、推理判断能力；短文理解则是在此基础上考查学生对一个结构比较完整，意义相对连贯的语段的理解能力，是一种高层次、有难度的听力测试形式。 【高考英语听力考试的测试点】 1、理解对话的主旨大意 2、获取对话中具体信息 为了说明和解释主旨，对话或独白中需要一些具体信息，如时间、地点、人物、年代、价钱等，这些信息对理解对话，把握对话主旨是不可缺少的内容，且在试题中占相当大的比例。这类题要求学生在听清，听懂信息的同时，还要对所听到的信息做简单的处理。有的也需要考生进行简单的计算。 3、推断对话发生的背景、地点及对话者之间的关系。对对话背景、地点、 对话者之间关系的理解程度，体现了一个人对口语的理解能力。 4、理解领会对话的观点、态度及意图 这类考题要求考生不但能理解录音原文的主旨大意，而且还要通过文中的重要细节、具体事实，揣摩、推断说话者的意图、观点和态度等，这类题能测试出考生在听力方面的综合素质。 【培养良好的听力习惯，掌握正确的答题技巧】 多听是提高听力的前题，但如何去听，如何获得准确的信息，则就不是多听听能解决的问题了。多听是增强语感，提高听力之本，若再加上正确的听力方法，掌握必要的技巧及对策，则可获得事半功倍的效果。 1、利用听录音前的时间，迅速地捕捉每个小题题干选项所提供的信息，预
测短文或对话可能涉及到的内容，这样听录音材料时就有的放矢，有所侧重，提高答题的准确率。 2、克服犹豫不决的毛病，对自己有把握的试题应快速作答，对无把握的试 题也要在所听信息的基础上排除错误选项，进行优化处理。不会作答的，立即暂时搁置，准备听新的题目。 3、目前高考听力测试中短文理解大部分是记叙文或讲话稿，所以听录音时 重在听懂每句话的意思和内涵，注意捕捉文中所涉及的人物(who)、事件(what)、时间(when)、地点(where)、原因(why)、方式(how)、程度(how long，how soon，how much)、数字(how many／how much)、选择(which…)等，以便检查答案。 4、注意听短文的首句和首段，文章的开首和开首段，往往是对短文内容的 概括，如讲话目的、主要内容、作者、论点、故事发生的时间、地点及事由等。 5、不管听什么材料，注意力一定要集中在整体内容的理解上，千万不能只 停留在个别单词或单句上，听不清时马上放弃，不要强迫自己听清每一个词，要把重点放在听关键词即实词上，一边听一边把要点及回答问题的关键词记下来。 【单项填空答题技巧、解题方法】 单项填空主要考查三个方面：1、英语语法知识；2、对近义词或习惯用语的辨析；3、日常交际用语。这三个方面各有其内在规律，因此了解这些规律，掌握这些规律，就能逐渐形成答好单项填空题目的解题技巧。高考的学生要想快又准地做好单选题，必须具备下列技巧： 1、题眼法："题眼"是指题干中的关键词或关键符号，它具有提示信息的作 用。一旦抓住了它，就能掌握选择的依据。 2、还原法：把倒装式、强调式或疑问式的题干变换为陈述句，再选就容易 多了 3、归类法：根据句意，把选项分组归类，缩小范围，提高做题的速度和准

高考英语信息匹配题解题技巧及练习 -CAL-FENGHAI-(2020YEAR-YICAI)_JINGBIAN
高考英语信息匹配题解题技巧及练习（附答案） 一、概述 信息匹配题是近年来高考英语中出现的一个新题型，其目的是考查考生通过快速阅读获 取信息和处理信息的能力。从目前的情况来看，这类题型的所涉及文章体裁大都属于应用文， 如广告(含招聘广告、产品销售广告、宣传广告、电影海报等)、简历、图书资料、社交书信 和产品说明书等，总的说来，其实用性比较强。 二、解题技巧 （一）步骤：先“少”后“多” 先读总字数少的那一板块内容，锁定了其中的关键信息后，再读字数多的那一板块内容并进行匹配。这里之所以不提“先读题目后读文章”，是因为有些信息匹配题可能会出现“匹配题目信息多过文章信息”的情况，如2011年高考广东卷就出现了这种情形。如果还是按 照传统的“先题后文法”去做，就会特别吃力。因此先“少”后“多”是做是做信息匹配题 的总体步骤。 ◆ “先题后文法”阅读理解非常常用的一种方法，它指的是在做阅读理解题时，先读题目， 然后带着问题去读文章，遇上相关信息画上记号，最后再通过分析和比较得出答案。对 于信息匹配题来说， “先题后文”指的就是先读匹配对象，然后带着匹配对象中的关键信息阅读前面的信息材料，最后确定答案。这种方法的好处就在于，它可以提高阅读的针对性，从而提高答题速度和答题的准确性。 （二）锁定关键信息：抓实词 正确锁定关键信息是做好信息匹配题的重要一步。如何才能迅速地锁定关键信息呢？有 一个总原则：抓住实词！从词性来说，包括：名词、动词、形容词、数词；从具体内容来 说，包括：人名、地名、书名、产品名、电影名、行为、特征、数量、日期等。可以参照 5w1h（who, what, when, where, which, how）等因素来进行锁定。不同文体的关键信息也不 一样，如招聘广告：年龄、学历、经历等；产品宣传广告：产品的特点、优势、价格等； 培训班招生广告：课程、时间、地点、教师、学费、入学条件和联系方式等；剧院介绍：位置、联系电话、上演剧目、时间和票价等； 比如有一篇信息匹配题是这样的， 题目先给出几段招聘广告，
2016高考英语任务型阅读答题技巧 任务型阅读是高考英语试题中第二卷中的一种题型，分值为10分。本题型在测试考生阅读理解能力的基础上，侧重考查考生的单词拼写、词性转换、句式转换、段落归纳等综合能力。高考任务型阅读近三年文章体裁以议论文和说明文为主，词数在400~550之间。高考成绩的统计数据表明在这一项上，考生普遍失分较多。高考英语任务型阅读是英语阅读理解和完形填空的结合体，在掌握篇章表层含义的基础之上，还要求对文章结构框架的把握。考生不但要具备基本的英语词汇知识，而且要能够依据上下文的内容，运用逻辑判断，正确填出任务型阅读中的空白处。因而，任务型阅读对考生的英语阅读和对英语学科的感悟能力要求较高。也就是说，任务型阅读不仅检查考生的词、句、篇的掌握，而且涉及考生综合运用英语语法的能力。所以说，这种题型是比较全面的考查。学生在平时的学习过程中，要关注词汇的使用，领悟篇章的内部结构，同时还要注意词的搭配和语用知识。 一、任务型阅读题型的考查角度 1、单词的大小写（信息筛选题） 考生往往从文中便可直接找到答案，无需进行词性和词形的转化。但是如果没有根据英文首字母要大写的要求，或在特殊的上下文中。忽略字母的大小写，便无法得到本应该拿到的分数。 2、词性的变化（整合转换题） 要依据特定的语境结合文中涉及的词语，灵活地转变词性。比如：动词转变为形容词，形容词转变为名词，等等。 3、词形的转化（整合转换题） 主要依据任务型阅读提供的特殊框架，来敲定词语的各种形式。例如：文中过去式需要在题目中使用现在时，同时还要注意人称和数的变化。 4、近义词与反义词的转化（整合转换题） 根据任务型阅读题型中提供的已有信息，尽管文中也能发现相关的词语，却没能依据特定的语境进行必要的词语的转换，比如将肯定的语气转化为否定的形式等。 5、实现词句的转换（整合转换题） 尽管文章无法一下子找到任务型阅读题型中出现的答案，但是依据文章的上下文以及文中句子的解释，则可以联系掌握的英语基础知识，得出相应的答案。 6、综合概括文章框架的词语使用（综合概括题） 注意文章的整体布局，理清句与句之间，段与段之间的内在逻辑关系，反复阅读文章，认真思考，然后找出能代表篇章结构的词汇。这类题目要求考生对全文或段落进行总体语篇把握，通过观察表格的设置特点，从而归纳和概括出所考查的单词。此类设题一般位于表格的第一行或第一列。为了更快捷地掌握概括能力，总结和熟记一些概括性词汇及其固定搭配也是很有必要的。 7、书写工整无误 最后，卷面是否清洁也会影响到考生最终的得分。答案书写要工整清晰，避免由于字迹潦草或拼写错误导致失分。完成题目后，一定要仔细的将答案带入题中，结合文中提供的信息，认真核对，反复思考，确保绝不因为自己的粗心大意而失分。 二、任务型阅读题型的解题思路 1、先认真读题，通过题目来了解文章的大致框架。做到在阅读文章前，心中有数，不会因为文章的长度或文中出现的生词影响到自己对文章结构的整体把握。 2、利用快速阅读策略做出判断。自己理解的文章主旨是否与题目中的要求一致。在这一过程中，可以尽可能填出与文章大意相关的词汇。
课 题 信息匹配 教学目标 1 训练学生快速阅读获取信息和处理信息的能力 2. 掌握信息匹配的技巧 重 点 如何快速找准关键词获取信息 难 点 同上 作业 完型填空训练 阅读技巧小“tips” 信息匹配 ◆ 考纲解读 信息匹配是广东高考英语2007年开始出现的新题型， 其命题的主要目的是：考查考生通过快速阅读获取信息和处理信息的能力。这种题型， 既有助于对学生快速阅读能力的培养， 也有助于对学生进行信息的加工、分析、比较能力的培养， 对中学英语教学在语言技能应用方面会有较好的导向作用。 高考信息匹配题可能涉及的内容有： (1) 与人们的日常生活相关的信息，如求职、招聘、购物、餐饮、食品、电脑配置、手机选择、购车、购房等； (2) 与人们的休闲娱乐相关的信息，如旅游度假、电视频道的选择、电影信息、娱乐明星、运动健身等； (3) 与人们获取知识相关的信息，如网站搜索、选择适当的课程、大学专业的选择、各类书籍的选择等。 ◆ 应试点睛 广东高考英语信息匹配题的文章体裁一般属于应用文， 重点考查学生语言实际应用的能力，试题难度适中。
关于阅读信息匹配题，能否在有限的时间内高效率地完成是获得高分的关键，其次在阅读时的一些习惯也要注意。有必要对文段中的一些重要句子、单词用笔划记下来，这样可以加深你的印象，也让你在寻找信息时目光有落脚点，切忌用笔尖逐词或尺子逐行地去阅读。 信息匹配题的解题技巧： 1．巧用先题后文法。先题后文法是考生做阅读理解常用的一种方法。对于信息匹配题来说，“先题后文”指的就是先读匹配对象，然后带着匹配对象中的关键信息阅读前面的信息材料，最后确定答案。这种方法的好处就在于，它可以提高阅读的针对性，从而提高解题速度和答题的准确性。 2．巧辨关键信息。采用先题后文法的目的是为了有针对性地寻找答题信息，但有时答题信息不止一个，可能有多个，此时就需要考生能够辨认其中的关键信息，并将其与题目所给对象进行匹配。 3．巧用文体知识。不同的文体往往有其特定的格式化内容，如招聘广告中通常有年龄、学历、经验等方面的要求；产品宣传广告中通常有产品的特点、优势、价格等信息。考生在做题时，要注意根据题目要求，同时结合各阅读材料的具体内容，通过比较和分析，从而确定答案。 4．巧补省略文字。信息匹配题通常涉及的是应用文，而应用文类文体的语言都比较简洁和精炼，有时甚至还会出现一些省略句。考生做题时若能具备这方面的一些知识和能力，并能根据上下文对所省略的句子作出准确理解，则可大大提高得分率。 题型探究 探究点一顺读法 顺读法：了解短文大意，明确题目要求。按照题目内容顺序快速浏览文章首句、尾句和关键词语，了解文段的大意并明确试题的具体要求，然后再按照符合的要求进行匹配。建议考生使用这种方法，因为按照此种方法比较容易记住信息点，快速答题。 例1请阅读下列应用文和相关信息，并按照要求匹配信息。 首先，请阅读下面的应用文： A．John Lewis was known for his creativity. He was a skilled piano player and musical director of the Modern Jazz. He was fond of traditional jazz, blues and bebop. Yet he was greatly influenced by training in European classical music.

信息匹配（35） 阅读下列应用文及相关信息，并按照要求匹配信息。 出国游有许多需要注意的事项。而付小费是很多国家的普遍现象。由于文化习俗的差异，不同的国家、不同的地区做法不尽相同。以下A、B、C、D、E和F是对亚洲一些城市给付小费的介绍，选出符合编号1—5描述的选项。选项中有一项是多余选项。 1. Most expensive restaurants will add a 10% service charge to the bill. 2. Though tipping is not allowed, people who have served you accept tips in a certain way. 3.Culturally, tipping is unnecessary, but customers sometimes pay service charge when checking out. 4. If you want to get loyal service, you should give a tip more than 10%. 5. You ae not expected to pay tips at a low class hotel. A Bangkok （曼谷）There are no established rules of tipping in Bangkok, capital of Thailand. Some places expect it; others don’t. In general, the more westernized the place is, the more likely you’ll be expected to leave a tip. Restaurants: Some expensive restaurants will add a 10% service charge to the bill. If not, waiters will appr eciate your increasing by 10% yourself. However, if you’re eating at a cheap eatery, a ti is not necessary. Porters: At Bangkok’s many five-star hotels, you’re expected to tip the porter 20 to 50 baht(铢), depending on how many bags you have. Taxis: Taxis are now metered in Bangkok, so there’s no bargaining over your fare. The local custom is to round the fare up to the nearest five baht. B Jakarta （雅加达）Tipping is not part of the Indonesian culture, but international influences have turned some westernized palms upward in search of a few extra rupiah (卢比). Restaurants: A 10% service charge is added at most high-end restaurants. At moderately priced restaurants, 5,000 rupiah should do it---if the service is superb, add an extra 1,000 rupiah or so. Porters: Pay a few hundred rupiah for each bag. Taxis: Most drivers will automatically round up to the next 500 rupiah. Some will claim they have no change and will bleed you for more. Don’t accept anything more than a 1,000-rupiah increase. C Kuala Lumpur （吉隆坡）Like Indonesia, tipping in Malaysia is only common in the expensive westernized joints, which often add a 10% service charge to your meal or hotel bill. Restaurants: If you are at a hotel restaurant, expect a 10% service charge or add the same amount yourself. But at local stalls, there’s no need to add a tip. Porters: At five-star hotels, one or two ringgit(林吉特) will be enough. At low-end establishments, you are not forced to tip. Taxis: Many taxis are now metered, so you can just round up to the nearest ringgit. In unmetered taxis, expect a session of hard bargaining for the ride. D Manila （马尼拉）Tipping is common in Manila, the Philippines, and anything above 10% will
高考英语信息匹配、任务型阅读基础训练题（10） 【2014高考英语陕西省一模联考试题】 （共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分） 根据短文内容，从下框A～F选项中选出能概括每段主题的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该选项涂黑。选项中有一项为多余项。 A. How inner beliefs can help B. Why are habits so important C. How to develop positive habits D. Improve your life E. You can do it F. Action plan The single most important factor that contributes to success is what you do every single day. It is as simple as that. Your habits will determine whether you are successful or not. If you have strong and healthy positive habits, it does not matter whether or not you fail today because you are guaranteed to succeed in the long run. 61. _________________________________ Because you repeat the same actions and the same behaviors every single day, a single positive action will not change your life, but the same action repeated 1,000 times will have a significant impact on your life. For example, if you go to the gym one time, you won’t see a big difference in your life. However, if you go to the gym 1,000 times over a five year period, you will see a big difference in your body. The same principle applies to finance, health, relationships, work, career, and school. Simple positive actions repeated every single day will have a great impact on your life in the long run. 62. _________________________________ There’s nothing easier than developing positive habits. You simply have to do every single day the action you want to make a habit. If you want to develop the habit of running, run almost every day. If you want to develop the habit of eating healthy, eat healthy every day. If you want to develop the habit of reading, read every day. Habits are created by repetition. The more you do an action, the easier it becomes
听力技巧 一、学会预测 预测是在做听力理解之前根据各种暗示，如所给答案选项，段落或对话标题等已有知识，对即将听到的段落或对话内容进行预测。 1. 从答案选项中预测： Q: What does Tom do? A. He’s a truck driver. B. He’s a ship captain. C. He’s a pilot. 录音原文：W: Tom flew to Anchorage last night, then took some passengers from there to Dallas . M: Yeah, but he couldn't land because the airport in Dallas was snowed in. 从选项看，问题应是关于职业方面的，再从flew, passengers, airport 这些信息词中可知道Tom的职业。 2. 从说话人口气预测： “Sure”， “I agree”，在A,B两人的对话中，如果B是附和或赞成，往往说“Yes”， “I think so”等。但如A用否定句，B表同意时则用“No”，“Neither / Nor?”等。 例如：A: Harvey doesn't seem to fit into this class. B: No, he is really a fish out of water. 二、做简要笔记听录音时快速，准确，简要地记下有关信息(包括数字，人名，地名，关键词)，前提是不要影响跟听速度，采用自己习惯的符号。 例：How much will the man pay for the tickets? A.$18 B. $24 C. $30 原文：W: Tickets for the movie are $ 6 for adults, half price for children. M: All right, I’d like three tickets for adults and two tickets for children, please. 笔记可简化为：$ 6 A(A代表adult)，C代表children,3A+2C或6 A(3)+ half C(2) 三、听清数据，简要记录，加以运算。 在获取时间信息时，不要误把会话中提到的时间简单确定为问题的答案。高考听力考查时间时往往要进行简单的时间换算。 At what time does the train to Leeds leave? A. 3:00 B. 3:15 C. 5:00 录音原文：W: Excuse me, could you tell me when the next train to Manchester is? M: Sure. Well, it's 3 now. The next train to Manchester leaves in 2 hours, but you can take the train to Leeds which leaves in 15 minutes, and then get off at Manchester on the way. 对话中提到了三个时间It's 3 now, in 2 hours，in 15 minutes. 现在是3点，开往Manchester的火车要两小时后才开，即The train to Manchester leaves in 2 hours。若简单机械地把3点和2点相加，会得出火车5点才开的错误选项C。 数字类问题分辨别类和计算类两种： 1. 要注意区分-teen和-ty及four和five的发音;辨别多位数，如电话号码，门牌等 2. 计算时间，钱款，距离，年龄，人或物的数量等;听出数字间的关系，更要听清问题，因为对运算方法的要求通常寓于问题中;注意more, less, as much(many)as, another, double, a couple of; to, past, quarter; 记住时间是60进制 如出现几个数字，应注意鉴别问的是那一个。 例：At what time does the office open?

It combines Chinese elements and sounds. I started it off in my last album called Shangrila. And this album combines the music of ethnic minorities, in China, in Tibet, and in Mongolia. It’s beautiful and orig inal to Chinese culture. And this new album called Heroes of Earth combines Opera and Quen-chu, which are thousand-year-old traditions also unique to Chinese culture. Very unique instruments, costumes, singing styles. I don’t think anyone has ever done thi s before in the hip hop world. 62. ___________________ WL: Um, just the large quantity of work that I have to come up with. I produce for other artists and compose for them as well. And there are a lot of changes in music going on right now in Asia. And it’s really exciting so I decided that I’m going to need a studio in New York. I’m going to need a studio in Taipei. And maybe the rest I can get by with just my laptop. 63. ___________________ WL: Well, I started doing musical theatre. And I loved it so much from the age of 13, you know. Actually in 2000, I did my first movie and ever since then I’ve been enjoying doing movies. I don’t think I’m much of an actor. But I just love being surrounded by creative people and a lot of times doing music is a lonely struggle, especially composing, and arranging, producing my own albums. Acting, every day you get called and you’re surrounded by other actors and creative people. 64. ___________________ WL: The first time I won, like you just said, when I was 22, it me ant a lot to me. It was like…I didn’t know I could make this happen. I didn’t know I could get this kind of recognition. So back then, it was huge increase of confidence. And I don’t want to say vanity(虚荣心), but confidence. I think every artist needs confidence. 65. ___________________ WL: Well, it can be a real pain in the neck. You know, I feel lucky that I can go back to New York and not be
