Third-generation mobile phones, known as 3G, are the next big step for the telecom industry. Data speed in 3G networks is much quicker than that in present technology. This means users can have high-speed Internet access and enjoy video and CD-quality music on their phones.“Mobile data is not a dream; it’s not an option but a requirement,” said Len Lauer, head of a US communications company, Sprint PCS, at a 3G conference in Bangkok earlier this month.With 3G, you can forget about text messages telling you yesterday’s news; a 3G phone can receive video news programs, updated four times a day. Internet access will also be much quicker, making it easier to surf the Web on your phone than on your computer at home.Face-to-face video callsDon’t worry about getting lost. 3G phones offer map services so you can find a new restaurant just by pressing a few keys on your handset.However, the most impressive part of 3G technology is video calling. With live two-way video communication, you can have face-to-face talks with friends and family on your mobile phone.Many European countries have already launched the service. In May 2000 the US Government issued five license to run 3G wireless services, while the first 3G phones arrived in Italy in March this year.International telecom companies can’t wait to sell 3G in China, the world’s largest mobile telecommunications market. But they will have to be patient. At the moment, China is busy testing its 3G-based technologies, networks and services. This will be followed by a trial period before the phones can finally hit the shops.“We need to create a pool of 3G customers before the large-scale commercial launch of the service,”said Fan Yunjun, marketing manager for Beijing Mobile. “We expect that the 3G licenses will be issued late next year.”3G Mobile Phones(71)____________ ▪ Data speed: quicker than that in (72) ________ technology ▪ Video and (73) _______ music▪ Video news programs: (74) ________ four times a day▪ Internet access: quicker and (75) _________Impressive functions ▪ Offer (76) __________ services, helping you find your way ▪ (77) _________ two-way video communication3G phones in China ▪ China is busy (78) ________ its 3G-based technologies, networks and services. ▪ 3G phones should go through a trial period before being put into(79) _________.▪ 3G phones are (80) __________ to be seen next year.Practice two:请认真阅读下面短文，并根据所读内容在文章后图表中的空格里填入最恰当的单词。

安徽高考新题型:英语任务型读写练习1Blood Drive at Civic CenterThe local university blood center had a blood drive today at the Civic Center auditorium. Almost 300 people showed up, but about 50 were turned away for various medical reasons. Fifty others left because the lines were moving so slowly. The event concluded at 6 pm, three hours after the scheduled close. It was a long day for everyone-administrators, nurses, and donors. But there were plenty of chairs and tables, and many people brought their own books, magazines, or newspapers.The first thing the donors had to do, of course, was fill out the donor registration and screening form. When they finished filling out the form, they waited until a nurse called them to her desk. The average adult body contains 8 to 12 pints of blood. Donors can give one pint at a time. It takes your body 2 to 4 weeks to replace this amount. Most donors filled up the pint bag within 5 to 10 minutes.Before leaving, the donors received a sheet of instructions including: Do not lift any heavy objects for 12 hours. Leave your pressure bandage on for 2~3 hours. Do not smoke for at least 30 minutes. Avoid alcohol for the rest of the day. Do not do any laborious activity for 24 hours.“I wish I could hug and kiss all the volunteers that are here today,” said Martha, the blood center donor recruiter. “Many donors underestimate the importance of what they’re doing. They think it is no big deal, but it is a big deal. Their blood is actually saving lives, helping other people to live, which will lead to a more harmonious society. We cannot thank them enough for that, nor can the recipients.”Title: Blood drive at Civic Centre71.Place/Where 72.200 73.Failing 74.registration 75.Amount76.Instruction/Tips/Suggestions/Advice 77.Avoid 78.whole 79.attitude(s) 80.Importance/Meaning/Significance练习2、Speaking in public is most people’s least favorite thing. The reason is that we are all afraid of making fools of ourselves. The more important the speech is, the more frightened we become.But stop biting your finger-nails. Public speaking is easy. It’s just plain talking, and you talk all the time. Although I’m basically shy (honest!), I’ve been making speeches and talking on radio and telev ision for more than 30 years, and I can tell you that public speaking is not a “gift” like musical talent. Anybody who can talk can speak in public. Here are some of the lessons I have learned:Your audience is going to come away with one or two of your main ideas. One or two. Not ten or 20. If you can’t express in a sentence or two what you intend to get across, then your speech is not focused well enough. And if you don’t have a clear idea of what you want to say, there’s no way your audience will.No ma tter how long or short your speech is, you’ve got to get your ducks in a row—how you are going to open, what major points you want to make and how you’re going to close.When I do a radio or TV piece, I often write the last sentence first. When you know wh ere you’re headed, you can choose any route to get there. A strong close is critical: the last thing you say is what your audience will most likely remember.The standard length of a vaudeville act is usually 12 minutes. If all those performers singing and dancing their hearts out couldn’t go on longer without boring the audience, what makes you think you can?76. public 77. focus 78. vague/unclear 79. organized 80. audience 81. opening 82. short83. attention 84. possible 85. bored练习3Wen Jiabao arrived in Singapore yesterday for an official visit to the country. It is the first visit by a Chinese premier to Singapore in eight years. In the arrival statement, Wen said he is looking forward to the meeting with Singing pore on ways to deepen East Asian cooperation between two nations so as to contribute to the building of a peaceful, harmonious relationship."Premier Wen Jiabao and Singapore Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong agreed to jointly develop an environmentally friendly city in northeastern China. The city will be a model for sustainable development, a Singapore government statement said. The "Sino-Singapore Tianjin Eco-city" will be developed by a joint venture formed by Chinese and Singapore companies. "This eco-city, to be built in Tianjin, will become another highlight in our relations," Wen said after signing an agreement with Lee, who agreed, "On the Singapore side, on all levels, we'll give this project our full support."The two sides will share expertise and experiences in urban planning, environmental protection, resources conservation, recycling, use of renewable resources and wastewater re-use. China's economic planning agency issued a set of guidelines earlier this month welcoming foreign investment in environmentally friendly areas such as recycling, "clean" industries and environmental protection.Bilateral relations between China and Singapore have seen big progress even though the two countries established diplomatic ties only 17 years ago, Wen said during his talks with Lee.China and Singapore have also kept close contact and coordination on regional issues, he added. Wen said China and Singapore are both important Asian countries that share common interests in many areas.Title: Wen’s visit to Singapore71.aims\purposes 72.co-operate 73.strengthen\promote 74.reached 75.environmentally76. sustainable 77.regional 78.peaceful 79.set 80.preference练习4A smart card is a card that is carried with either a microprocessor and a memory chip or only a memory chip that is not programmable. The microprocessor card can add. delete, and deal with the information on the card, while a memory-chip card can only do one thing.Smart cards, unlike magnetic stripe cards, can do many different things and hold a lot of information. In this way, they do not need to get information from a faraway place when they are used.Today, there are several kinds of smart cards, all of which are very popular in the market:IC (Integrated Circuit) Microprocessor Cards Microprocessor Cards (chip cards) offer a larger memory and better security than the traditional magnetic stripe cards do. Chip cards can also hold data. These cards are used for many things. Thus, chips have been the main platform for cards that hold a secure digital identity. Some examples of these cards are:Cards that hold money.Cards that provide safe access to a network.Cards that allow setting stop boxes on televisions to remain safe from privacy.Optical Memory Cards Optical memory cards look like cards with a piece of CD on the top. Optical memory cards can store up to 4MB of data. But once written, the data can not be changed or removed. Thus, this type of card is good for keeping records, such as medical files, driving records or travel histories. Today, these have no processors in them (although this is coming in the near future). While the cards are almost as cheap as chip cards, the card readers are expensive.1．Smart 2. Memory 3. Advantages 4.security 5. doctors6. travelers7. cost8.

He walked in the streets of Brooklyn day after day with his favorite music blasting directly into his ears. By his early 20s, Michel had lost much of his upper-range hearing.The Children’s Hearing Institute reports that hearing loss among children and young adults is rising in the United States, and that one third of the damage is caused by noise.Surrounded By NoiseWe live in a noisy world. Young and old alike are beset by sounds over which we may have little or no control: power mowers, leaf blowers, snow blowers, cars and house alarms, sirens, motorcycles, Jet Skis, loudspeakers, even movie previews.We attend rock concerts, weddings, parties and sports events at which the music is so loud you can hardly hear the person sitting next to you. At home, televisions, stereos and computer games are often turned up so loud that listeners can not hear a doorbell or telephone. Many “modern ” restaurants have chosen noise enhancement instead of abatement(减轻). Any time you need to shout to be heard by someone near you, your hearing is most likely to be in a decibel(分贝) danger zone.As if environmental noise were not enough, now we surround children with noisy toys and personal listening devices that can permanently damage their hearing. Toys that meet the safety standards of the American Society for Testing and Materials can produce sound up to 138 decibels, as loud as a jet plane taking off. Yet workplace rules require hearing protection for those exposed to noise above 85 decibels. Protecting Young EarsBefore buying noisemaking toys, parents would do well to listen to how loud they are. If the toy comes with a volume control, monitor its use to make sure it is kept near the lowest level. Consider returning gifts that make loud noises, disable the noise-making function. Or limit the use of noisy toys to outside play areas.Children who play computer games and stereo equipment should be warned to keep the volume down. Time spent in video arcades, where the noise level can be over 110 decibels, should be strictly limited. Most iPods have a control that allow parents to set a maximum volume.Don’t take children to loud action movies. If you do go and the sound seems deafening, ask the manager to turn down the volume or insist on you money back. Children who play in bands and teenagers who use power tools, gardening equipment or guns should be made to wear hearing protection, available at sporting goods stores.The League for the Hard of Hearing urges parents to encourage participation in quiet activities, like reading, watching family-oriented films, doing puzzles, making thins with construction toys, playing educational computer games, drawing and painting, and visiting librarians and museums.71、addicted 72、loss 73、Environmental 74、prevents/ stops 75、louder/noisier76、permanent 77、Solutions 78、Return 79、Avoid 80、participate练习6scientists develop non-stick chewing gumScientists have developed a non-stick chewing gum that can be easily removed from pavements, shoes and clothes.The new gum, the result of polymer research at the University of Bristol, could be launched commercially in 2008, its developers said on Friday.If it catches on, the product will solve a major headache for local authorities around the world."The advantage of our Clean Gum is that it has a great taste, it is easy to remove and has the potential to be environmentally degradable(可降解性)," said Terence Cosgrove, a professor of chemistry who helped found a company called Revolymer to commercialize the technology.Today's chewing gums are made from synthetic latex, which is resistant to the weather and is strongly adhesive. The new gum adds a special polymer to modify its properties, making it far less sticky.In two street trials, leading commercial gums remained stuck to the pavement three out or four times, while Clean Gum came away naturally in all cases, Revolymer said.71. qualities 72. clean 73. potential/capability 74. component/composition 75. change/modify 76. effects 77. problem/trouble/headache 78. fall 79. prediction 80. result/ consequence /outcome练习7In addition to self-awareness, imagination, and conscience, it is the fourth quality — independent will —that really makes effective self-management possible. It is the ability to make decisions and choices and to act in agreement with them. It is the ability to act rather than to be acted upon, to actively carry out the program we have developed through the other three qualities.The human will is an amazing thing. Time after time, it has overcome unbelievable difficulties. The Helen Kellers of this world give dramatic(给人深刻印象的) evidence to the value, the power of the independent will.But as we examine this quality in the context of effective self-management, we realize it’s usually not the dramatic, the visible(可见的), the once-in-a-lifetime, up-by-the-bootstraps(自立自强的) effort that brings lasting success. This special ability comes from learning how to use this great quality in the decisions we make every day.The degree to which we have developed our independent will in our everyday lives is measured by our personal honesty. Honesty is, fundamentally, the value we place on ourselves. It’s our ability to make and keep promises to ourselves, to “walk our talk.”Effective management is putting first things first. While leadership decides what “first things” are, it is management that puts them first, day-by-day, moment-by-moment. Management is discipline (training to be self-controlled), carrying it out.Discipline obtains from belief—belief in a set of values, belief in an overriding(最主要的) purpose, to a long-term or short term goal that must be carried out.In other words, if you are an effective manager of yourself, your discipline comes from within; it is a function of your independent will. You are a follower of your own deep values and their source. And you have the will, the quality to control your feelings and moods rather than depend on others or have your work half done.76. what 77. stick 78.

More than twenty countries are selected as “the most favored nations by Chinese students for studying abroad in 2006”. These countries are attracting students in different ways.In recent years, the United States has become so attractive for many Chinese students with its first-class institutions and universities, and superpower status in the world. This was mainly due to the relaxation of visa restrictions for international students in 2005 and 2006, a move that promoted the development of its education market and caught the attention of more Chinese students. Previously, students needed to get entry permits from customs and make a claim on their period of stay. If they needed to go back to their homeland during vacations, they had to provide a visiting certificate. After the vacation ended, they needed to apply for another visa for re-entry into the the United States. Today, as long as their students ID cards remain unchanged, they can return to their homeland within one year, without showing a visiting certificate and applying for a re-entry visa.The natural environment has always been a key factor in attracting students from other countries. Canada, known as “America’s backyard”, is the most inhabatable country, as well as the world’s most amazing nation for overseas study. Canada has been attracting a large number of Chinese students for years.New Zealand has also welcomed more and more students to study, offering a good living environment and desirable lifestyle. It has eight outstanding colleges and universities, creating better hopes for employment and immigration after students graduate. Students can apply for visas even without taking an English proficiency test. This is an important reason why more international students intend to study in the country.An elegant environment, bilingual (双语的) lifestyle and international academic atmosphere are the most attractive advantages of study in Malaysia. Bilingual language ability has been a fundamental requirement for residents in this country. Students in the country can benefit from a world-class education, with a guarantee of an excellent degree of higher education. Residents living in the most inhabitable country in the Asia-Pacific region, enjoy life’s real pleasures.The year of 2007 is the “year of China” in Japan and the year of “Chinese-Korean exchange”. Frequent communications and exchanges between the governmentments of both countries have encouraged students to study in the two countries. Japan offers a variety of preferential (优惠的) policies to Chinese students that create unique conditions for international students to continue research and study in the country. In 2006, more and more Chinese students chose to study in Japan and Korea.Some countries, such as Russia, the Ukraine and German have become destinations for moreChinese students in recent years because they offer high quality education at a low cost. The German education system has been the number one choice for many students. However, from the beginning of 2006, it began to adjust its policy on waiving (放弃) full tuition fees. Therefore, international students studying in Germany would be able to enjoy a free tuition policy for only a few years to come.71. restrictions 72. environments 73. relationships 74. costs 75. move76. living 77. visas 78. bilingual 79. conditions 80. more练习9Filmmakers in Hollywood produce hundreds of films each year and audiences around the world watch them. In many films, characters smoke cigarettes and other forms of tobacco. In the past, researchers have documented how adolescents in the United States are influenced by watching those images of smoking on the screen. They found that kids who watch many movies where characters smoke are more likely to try smoking themselves.Dr. James Sargent, a researcher with Dartmouth University Medical School in New Hampshire, says those research findings are strong and reliable, but he says that many people are unconvinced when they hear that movies might contribute to adolescent smoking. “How can movies be to blame for a third of adolescent smoking when there’s only, you know, 30 seconds to a minute of smoking in every movie? So what we wanted to do with this study was really range the exposure for people so that they understood how much exposure kids really get when it comes to seeing these actors modeling smoking on the big screen.”Sargent and some international colleagues counted how often images of smoking were seen by adolescents. They watched about 500 popular movies and counted the images of smoking in each. Then they multiplied that number of images by the number of adolescents estimated to have seen the films.They estimate that billions of images of smoking in American films are seen by kids around the world.“So it is a big international problem to the extent that American movie companies are exporting smoking in youth-rated movies, the kids in other countries are seeing the smoking, and it’s positioning smoking as something they want to do,” he concludes.Sargent says almost nothing else compares with smoking in terms of public health problems around the world. Each year millions of people die of diseases caused by smoking: lung and other cancers, heart diseases and respiratory diseases. Sargent says many of those people started smoking during their adolescent years.“We’ve already shown pre tty convincingly that seeing smoking in movies is bringing kids to the tobacco industry,” he says. “So the movie industry has some responsibility here. The movie industry could do something that would reduce smoking in youth-rated movies; they could rate smoking R (for restricted).” He notes that’s what public health activists are trying to get filmmakers to do. And if they did that, it would reduce 60 percent of growth of impressions the kids in his sample had seen.Hollywood’s images of smoking encourage teens to light upScreen 71. are likely to encourage kid audiences to pick up smoking.But people have different opinions about the72. of screen smoking on teenagers.Many people don’t 73.movies’ contribution to teen smoking because they think kids are not so much74. to screen smoking.Others point out that the large number of smoking images in American films shows that teens see smoking on the screen very 75. .So American movie companies are thought tobe “selling smoking”76. .The number of 77. due to smoking diseases shows that screen smoking affects public health greatly.It is filmmakers’ 78. to restrict smoking in youth-rated movies.It’s convincingly proved that see ing smoking in movies is teaching kids to form the 79. of smoking.If films reduce smoking images, it would reduce the80. that kids start smoking.76. abroad 76. deaths 78. duty 79. habit 80. chance/possibility练习10Educating girls quite possibly harvests a higher rate of return than any other investment available in the developing world. Women's education may be an unusual field for economists (经济学家), but increasing women's contribution to development is actually as much an economic as a social issue. And economics, with its focus on encouragement, provides an explanation for why so many girls are rid of an education.Parents in low-income countries fail to invest in their daughters because they do not expect them tomake an economic contribution to the family: girls grow up only to marry into somebody else's family and bear children. Girls are thus seen as less valuable than boys and are kept at home to do housework while their brothers are sent to school -- the prophecy (预言) becomes self-fulfilling, trapping women in a vicious circle (恶性循环) of neglect.An educated mother, on the other hand, has greater earning abilities outside the home and faces an entirely different set of choices. She is likely to have fewer but healthier children and can insist on the development of all her children, ensuring that her daughters are given a fair chance. The education of her daughters then makes it much more likely that the next generation of girls, as well as of boys, will be educated and healthy. The vicious circle is thus transformed into a virtuous circle.Few will argue that educating women has great social benefits. But it has enormous economicadvantages as well. Most obviously, there is the direct effect of education on the wages of female workers. Wages rise by 10 to 20 per cent for each additional year of schooling. Such big returns are impressive by the standard of other available investments, but they are just the beginning. Educating women also has a significant impact on health practices, including family planning.74. children 75. no/little 76. doing77. fairly/equally 78. contributes/leads 79. affects 80. Conclusion练习11Since the beginning of human evolution, men have migrated（迁移）across continents in search of food, shelter, safety, and comfortable weather. People still move for these reasons, but new reasons for human migration are arising, such as job relocation(重新安置) and overpopulation.Three million migrants are moving from poor countries to wealthier ones each year, and increasingly, their destination is a neighboring country in developing parts of the world. People aremoving within the developing world for the same reasons as they migrate to wealthier nations. People from poor countries are going to less poor countries, fleeing wars and conflicts. They are also responding to population pressures because some countries are densely populated, and they often have high population growth. Those people need to go somewhere else.There are three main reasons why people move. The basic categories and percentages are as follows, according to the Current Population Surveys (CPS):Family-related reasons account for 26.3%, including changes in marital（婚姻的）status, establishing a household and other family reasons; work-related reasons 16.2%, including job transfer, retirement, and other job-related reasons; housing-related reasons 51.6%, including new and better houses, better neighborhood, cheaper housing and other housing reasons; the remaining 5.9% of other reasons are attending college, the change of climate and health reasons.Americans have been migrating south and west for decades in search of better job opportunities and warmer climates. They have also been moving to places a little far from cities, in search of bigger yards and houses, lower crime rates and better schools. In 1950, nearly a fifth of the population lived in the nation’s 20 largest cities. In 2006, it was about one in ten. That’s why many American people say, “Big Cities Shrink as People Move South, West.”Between March 2005 and March 2007, 73.4 million Americans moved. Fifty-six percent of these moves were within the same country. Twenty percent were between counties but in the same state. Nineteen percent were moves to a different state. Some families even went abroad.71. move 72. history 73. increasing 74. richer / wealthier 75. Reasons 76. majority 77. related / linked 78. seeking 79. climate 80. tendency / phenomenon / trend练习12Living in the 21st century offers certain advantages, such as a higher standard of living, but it also has some disadvantages, such as a polluted environment.To begin with, most people now have more money for less hard work. They earn higher salaries than before and enjoy better social security, such as social welfare for laid-off workers and disabilityinsurance.Secondly, because of the advance in medical technology which leads to better medical care and treatment, people’s life expectancy is longer. Moreover, most people now can afford to buy foods of high nutrition and enjoy their leisure time.Thirdly, modern conveniences such as radio, TV, Internet, various vehicles and labor-saving machines in the home, all greatly facilitate human communication, transportation and housework as well.Nevertheless, living in the 21st century also has its disadvantages. The most serious one is the increasingly polluted environment; air is filled with smog and water is contaminated by chemicals from factories. Another main disadvantage is the depersond\alization (价格解体) of human relationships which mostly results from people’s ever-increasing contact with machines and numbers. Still one more disadvantage is the weakening of spiritual values. An undeniable fact is that a large number of people are solely interested in materialistic culture, while neglecting spiritual civilization. Limited by space, we have to skip the examples.In conclusion, although the 21st century has indeed given us a lot of advantages, it may not have made us wiser, because it has also made our earth dirtier, our people less humane, and our spiritual life poorer. We should continue to enjoy the benefits of technological advancement, however, we must make a concerted effort to preserve our natural environment for future generations. Moreover, we should take the time now to make our lives more meaningful in an increasingly impersonal, computerized world.71. comment 72. Advantages 73. conveniences 74.

Nowadays, millions of lonely singles are now going online instead. The World Wide Web is quick ly becoming the world’s most popular matchmaker. With so many singles online, dozens of dating sites like Yahoo Personals and are helping singles find that special someone. Around the world, from America to China, love is now very much online.Singles are flocking to the Internet mainly because their busy lifestyles leave them little time to look for a significant other. Using dating sites is quick and convenient. They can “meet” a lot more people online than they could by hanging out at a club. Besides, many singles say the regular dating scene has just led them from one bad experience to another and are ready to try something else. They also appreciate the first distance of online dating, which allows them to hide themselves until they are ready to meet someone face to face. Dating sites also make it easy to avoid someone you are not interested in. In the real world, however, ignoring someone you don’t like can be embarrassing.Despite all the advantages, online dating also presents its own set of problems. People aren’t always who they claim to be in their online profiles. For instance, some one who tells you he is “handsome, successful and single” might turn out to be homely, unemployed and married. Safety is another concern. You are just as likely to find a criminal online as you are Mr. or Miss right.Even so, supporters of online dating see things in a positive way. In their opinion, singles can safely play the online dating game with a little common sense. Online dating experts advise following a few safety tips:Guard your personal information. Never give out your personal information online. This includes your last name, phone number, home address and place of work.Watch for red flags. Do any of the people you are chatting with make disrespectful comments? Do they try to control you? Do they give false information about themselves? If so, forget them!Meet in a safe place. When meeting someone in person, choose a public location with other people around.Follow these tips and you might be able to find the person of your dreams.Going online to look for love。

More and more Chinese mainland buyers have in the past few weeks been queuing to cross the border into Hong Kong to lessen increasing financial pressure led by rising food prices at home. Their shopping baskets are full of sugar, salt and even tissue paper.While prices are rising so fast, many people are worrying out ways to cut down their expenses. Du Zhenqi, an 80-year-old Beijinger, grows different vegetables in the yard. But this year, before they turned ripe, they were all picked by his neighbours. “The prices of vegetables have gone up sharply, ”said Du. “So I understand those people and it pleased me to offer them my help. ”Du expressed his sympathy for those who took away his vegetables without permission.The rise of food price in China has made people with low incomes feel serious financial pressure and forced them to spend wisely.A collection of practical money-saving tips is thus becoming increasingly popular among Chinese citizens. If you search“money-saving strategies”in Baidu, you will find 4. 27 million entries in 0. 19 seconds. The collection provides tips such as choosing local and seasonal products, avoiding buying vegetables on rainy or snowy days when higher transport costs increase prices, using websites for purchases, and planting vegetables on the balcony(阳台). Some consider buying in large quantity to stay within a tight budget.Fei Yuqin, who lives in Shanghai, frequently hurries to a farmers’ market before 6 am to buy large amounts of vegetables for her family and neighbours. “Instead of buying small amounts, I buy large amounts of vegetables at the market and get a 50-percent discount. ”With these tips, many people have been able to cut household expenses.

In every aspect of business, communication holds the key to improving cooperation(合作)and understanding. Here are some of the most important effects of encouraging communication on business.Building a good team requires a leader that communicates with each individual who is a part of it. Through direct communication, a leader can create a team that can perform perfectly in every department. With regular communication, many misunderstandings can be removed. This makes it easier for any employee to cut out unnecessary friction(摩擦)and free his mind to focus on the task at hand.No business process is perfect and there is always room for improvement. There are various separate departments that work together to create a product and each member of the team has concerns and suggestions regarding how they could improve the process. If communication channels are opened through weekly or monthly meetings and issues are discussed, a more smooth and efficient business process can be developed.Positive communication among the various team members that make up business departments helps sort out problems quite easily in a business process. Most importantly, when doubts, misunderstandings and other such issues are sorted out, a positive atmosphere is automatically created as everyone focuses his mind on his work and feels like he is a part of the big picture.Communicating with the customers through surveys can help understand the market conditions in a better way. What a product is lacking is best pointed out by a customer.

20XX年安徽高考英语新习题型—任务型读写安徽2009高考英语命题改革点：2009年高考英语最大的变化就是取消了短文改错，增加任务型读写，词汇要求提高至3000个左右等。

其中“任务型读写”是一个新题型，考生要注意领悟。

一、任务型读写题型介绍任务型读写的题型结构为一篇300字左右的短文和表格，要求考生对文中的有效信息进行筛选、整合和综合概括，而后准确、有序地完成表格的空缺（根据说明，一空只填一词）。

这体现出了新课改增加客观表达题的努力。

笔者在平时教学中发现，学生普遍感觉很难。

首先要了解表格的设置。

据考试说明中的范例，表格一般是文章的整体行文结构，包括标题、段落大意、文章细节，结论等部分。

其次要领悟空缺的类型。

①筛选类：通过定位题目在文章中的位置即可找到答案，一般为原词。

②整合类：要对文章的原句进行加工，根据句型结构变化和语法要求提炼出的新词，如：There are mainly twotypes of sources.→There aretwo____types of sources. （main）。

The person presenting the program is very passionate.→The___is very passionate.（presenter）③概括类：根据说明，要能概括出文章的标题、段落大意、文章目的、结论等，要求较高。

同学们在填空时务必要仔细，如单词大小写、单复数、词性等。

二、任务型读写题的解题思路与答题步骤－解题思路短文后的表格是要考生根据文章结构和层次进行填写。

反过来讲表格的设计也会帮助考生理解文章内容和层次结构。

只要考生按照表格中的框架结构去阅读理解短文，到文章中找到与每一小题涉及到的信息的相关位置，再运用＂同义转述＂技巧，则可得出答案。

考生要分析所填的词在句中的语法作用、准确拼写单词的形式。

－答题步骤1、认真阅读，理解原文主旨大意和结构层次；2、明确图表结构和要求；3、根据原文意思和图表要求确定词义；4、注意所填单词在上下文中的词性和词形。

任务型阅读专项讲解2009年安徽省高考英语考试增加了一个新的题型——任务型读写。

任务型读写的题型设计突出语篇，强调应用。

任务型读写的题型结构为一篇300左右的短文和表格，要求考生对文中的有效信息进行筛选、整合和综合概括，而后准确、有序地完成表格的空缺，在每个空格里填写恰当的单词。

这体现出了新课改增加客观表达题的努力。

据考试说明中的范例，表格一般是文章的整体行文结构，包括标题、段落大意、文章细节，结论等部分。

此类新题型旨在考查考生综合运用语言的能力，要求考生在阅读所给短文的基础上，对短文的有效信息进行提炼、整合，最终根据表格设计要求进行作答。

考点分类考点1：信息筛选题信息筛选提是基础题目，一般可以直接通过将表格和短文进行对照，边读文章边找出于试题相同的句子信息，获取到相关单词，有时试题和原文句型句式不同，需进行简单的逻辑推理然后找到相应单词，不需变化，直接填入。

例如：2012年安徽省高考英语第79题：原文为In Muslim countries,设题为Muslim countries.2012年安徽省高考英语第81题：原文为In Mexico,lunch is a time to relax...，设题为Relaxing while having lunch2011年安徽省高考英语第78题：原文为Here is what our schools should teach.，而设题为Important things should be taught in (78) schools(s).2011年安徽省高考英语第85题：原文为This is life, this is what you are going to face, and this is how you deal with it..，而设题为Children should be taught what (85) life is and how to deal with it.2010年安徽省高考英语第77题：原文为When difficult people express themselves orally, they generally want at least two things: they’ve been heard they’ve been understood.，而设题为Difficult people hope they have been heard and (77) understood when they express themselves.2009年安徽省高考英语第83题：原文为She discovers that medical assistants not only have to do some office work, but have medical responsibilities as well.，而设题为If she’s a medical assistant, she’ll also take medical (83) responsibilities.考点2：整合转换题整合转换题是典型的二次加工题型，需要考生有几本的构词法只是，对句子成分和词性的对应关系要明确。

安徽省近四年任务型读写题汇编及常用词语归纳2009 阅读下面短文，根据所读内容在表格中的空白处填入恰当的单词。

注意：每个空格只填一个单词。

Many people need guidance in choosing a career (职业). Fortunately, there is much information on the Web about job opportunities (机会). With all the information available, it's not surprising that people can feel confused. So if you're ready to start your first job or change careers, where do you begin?The Occupation Handbook is a good resource. Regularly updated, the Handbook is available as a book and on-line. Not only is information provided about the United States as a whole, but readers can easily search for information about their particular state. You can read about the fastest-growing occupations in the area where you live and find out what they are like. You can also learn how to apply for jobs.Take, for example, Nadia's situation. Nadia was a doctor's assistant in Iran, and her goal in the United States is to become a nurse. However, she needs to work while she is studying nursing. She is interested in becoming a medical assistant to help work her way through college. When going on-line to the Handbook and searching under "medical assistant", Nadia is happy to read that this is expected to be one of the fastest-growing careers through 2010. Besides, job opportunities are even better for people with experience. She discovers that medical assistants not only have to do some office work, but have medical responsibilities as well. Nadia decides this job will be interesting and will also provide excellent experience for her nursing career.The Occupation Handbook is just an example of websites that can help you plan a new career. When you have found information about some different careers, you will be ready to talk to career advisers. Choosing your future career is an extremely important decision. It's worth taking the time and finding as much information as you can.2010 阅读下面短文，根据所读内容在表格中的空白处填入恰当的单词。

一、高中英语任务型阅读1．Read the passage carefully. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.Many people know that trash is a big problem on planet Earth. What many people don't know is that trash has become a problem in outer space too. ________Statistically, there are more than 22,000 pieces of junk in space around the earth. And these are just the items that we can see from the surface of the earth by telescopes or radars. ________Objects, like bits of old space rockets or satellites, move around the planet at very high speeds, so fast that even a very small piece can break important satellites or become dangerous to people, particularly astronauts. If the tiniest piece of junk crashed into a spacecraft, it could damage the vehicle. That's because the faster an object moves, the greater the impact if the object collides with something else.To help minimize additional space junk, countries around the world have agreed to limit the time their space tools stay in orbit to 25 years. Each tool must be built to fall safely into the earth's atmosphere, or the mass of gases that surround the earth, after that. ________Many scientists are also proposing different ways to clean up space junk. The Germans have been planning a space mission with robots that would collect pieces of space trash and bring them back to Earth so that they can be safely destroyed."In our opinion the problem is very challenging, and it's quite urgent as well," said Marco Castronuovo, an Italian Space Agency researcher who is working to solve the problem. ________ Many of these objects are tools that help people use their cell phones or computers. "The time to act is now; as we go farther in time we will need to remove more and more fragments," he says.A. One reason that it's urgent is that countries are sending more and more objects into space.B. There are also millions of smaller pieces of junk that we can't see.C. Blowing up older satellites with a missile may create thousands of smaller pieces!D. In the upper parts of the atmosphere, it will burn up.E. When two objects in space collide, the two objects break into many smaller pieces.F. Years of space exploration have left tons of "space junk" in orbit around the planet.【答案】 F；B；D；A【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，介绍太空垃圾越来越严重，急需解决。
