Question

【題目】When we think of money, we think of coins and paper bills. That is what money is today. But in the past people used many things instead of money. Some countries used cows. Other countries used salt, tobacco or stones. Today there are still some places in the world that do not use paper money. One place is the island of Yap in the Pacific Ocean.

On the island of Yap, people use the heaviest money in the world—Yap stones. These are round, white stones with a hole in the middle. They do not originate(起源)from the island. The Yap men have to go to the islands four hundred miles away to get them. Big stones can be twelve feet high as big as two tall men. Small stones are as big as a dinner plate.

Rich people do not carry the Yap stones. Servants follow the rich. Each servant carries a stone or a long stick over his shoulder. Today the people on the island use paper money for everyday shopping. But for other things they still prefer Yap stones.

【解析】

文章主要講述的是貨幣。提到貨幣，人們首先想到的就是當(dāng)下依然在流通的紙幣和硬幣，但是在太平洋的一個(gè)小島（雅浦島）上，人們使用一種特殊的貨幣，那就是雅浦石頭。但是隨著時(shí)代的進(jìn)步，在購物的時(shí)候他們已經(jīng)開始使用紙幣，但其他時(shí)候還是使用石頭進(jìn)行交易。

【1】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由句子When we think of money, we think of coins and paper bills. That is what money is today.可知，當(dāng)我們想到錢時(shí)，我們想到了硬幣和紙幣。這就是今天的錢。故答案為：Money today is coins and paper bills.

【2】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)句子But in the past people used many things instead of money. Some countries used cows. Other countries used salt, tobacco or stones.可知，但在過去人們用很多東西代替金錢。一些國家使用奶牛。其他國家使用鹽、煙草或石頭。因此答案為：They used many things such as cows, salt, tobacco or stones instead of money in the past.

【3】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由句子The Yap men have to go to the islands four hundred miles away to get them.可知，亞普人必須到四百英里以外的島上去才能找到他們。故答案為：They get Yap stones from the islands four hundred miles away.

【4】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)句子These are round, white stones with a hole in the middle.可知，這些是圓形、白色的石頭，中間有一個(gè)洞。因此答案為：They are round, white stones with a hole in the middle.

【5】推理判斷題。由句子Today the people on the island use paper money for everyday shopping. But for other things they still prefer Yap stones. 可知，今天島上的人們每天都用紙幣購物。但在其他方面，他們還是更喜歡yap石頭。故本題的答案為：They buy everything with Yap stones except everyday shopping.

回答問題的任務(wù)型閱讀

該題型是給同學(xué)們呈現(xiàn)一段閱讀資料，然后設(shè)置幾個(gè)問題，做題時(shí)，我們應(yīng)該先瀏覽一下問題，心中對所給任務(wù)有一個(gè)初步的了解，帶著問題去閱讀，有針對性地閱讀，提高閱讀效率。

一、閱讀全文，了解大意

在做任務(wù)型閱讀題時(shí)，同學(xué)們應(yīng)先瀏覽文章后所提出的問題，在瀏覽過任務(wù)后，應(yīng)迅速回頭閱讀全文了解文章的主要內(nèi)容，作者想表述的觀點(diǎn)，情感等。

二、尋找細(xì)節(jié)，逐題攻克

對于任務(wù)型閱讀中的細(xì)節(jié)考查題，需要同學(xué)們有對語言的理解和分析能力，并帶著問題回到閱讀材料中，采用跳讀的方式來尋找細(xì)節(jié)所在的段落，然后鎖定目標(biāo)段落，尋找總結(jié)自己所要的答案。

此外，同學(xué)們在答題和書寫方面還要注意以下幾點(diǎn)：

1. 作答時(shí)，要遵循的原則就是：能簡略回答的，盡量簡略回答。

2. 書寫要規(guī)范整潔。句子開頭首字母要大寫；標(biāo)點(diǎn)符號(hào)要規(guī)范，單詞拼寫要正確無誤；注意時(shí)態(tài)的呼應(yīng)和人稱的轉(zhuǎn)變。

3. 做出適當(dāng)調(diào)整。在回答時(shí)，同學(xué)們應(yīng)對照題目，根據(jù)需要對句子的人稱、單復(fù)數(shù)、時(shí)態(tài)、語態(tài)、詞性、主謂搭配等做出適當(dāng)?shù)恼{(diào)整。

三、通讀全文，仔細(xì)檢查

　　在完成所有的答題任務(wù)后，同學(xué)們一定要檢查一下自己的答案：是否存在書寫問題，首字母是否大寫，人稱單復(fù)數(shù)是否按照要求書寫，時(shí)態(tài)、語態(tài)、詞性、主謂搭配是否正確，要避免不必要的失分。
