Question

【題目】 That was the end of the term. When we were studying something about DNA, Mr. Hunt, the science teacher, told us to prepare for a debate（辯論）. I was a little worried. We found we were against a group which was filled with native English-speaking students, while there was only one American boy in our group. However, we didn’t dread the challenge. Our topic was “Should college accept students based on their DNA traits（特征）?”We opposed this thought.

I took the role of Q&A. When I went back to the dormitory(寢室）, I asked for help from an experienced debater in college. He taught me how to express ideas, search for information on different websites and list the points.

After a week’s preparation, I stood on the stage with a well-thought plan in my mind. Then I noticed that the hope of our group, the American boy, was sick that day. His position of first speaker was empty. I had to take his position and plan my materials and data again. Before the debate, I kept asking myself what if I couldn’t understand what they were saying, and what if they included some idioms（慣用語(yǔ)）that I didn’t even know. I was even nervous. But when I stood in front of the whole class, I saw trust and encouragement from my group members. I started to cool down. I fluently stated our opinions and asked questions. When our opponents（對(duì)手）had their opening speech, I wrote down some points to retort（反駁）them. Although Mr. Hunt didn’t tell me who won the debate, I believe I have already learned a lot. Never lose confidence and you will surely win.

本文是一篇記敘文。作者在知道了這次辯論的話(huà)題之后，她著急了，因?yàn)樗�的小組只有一個(gè)講英語(yǔ)的人。于是，為了準(zhǔn)備辯論，作者向有經(jīng)驗(yàn)的辯論手虛心請(qǐng)教，并在網(wǎng)上搜索資料。本文告訴了讀者永遠(yuǎn)不要失去信心，那么你肯定會(huì)贏(yíng)。

【1】根據(jù)文中I was a little worried. We found we were against a group which was filled with native English-speaking students, while there was only one American boy in our group. 我有點(diǎn)擔(dān)心。我們發(fā)現(xiàn)我們對(duì)決的是一群說(shuō)英語(yǔ)的學(xué)生，而在我們的小組里只有一個(gè)美國(guó)男孩。所以作者才會(huì)有些擔(dān)心，故答案為Because I found we were against a group which was filled with native English-speaking students, while there was only one American boy in our group.

【2】根據(jù)文中However, we didn’t dread the challenge. 然而，我們并不……挑戰(zhàn)�？芍�，這里的dread應(yīng)該指的是“害怕，恐懼，畏懼”，故答案為：懼怕/非常害怕/極為擔(dān)心。

【3】根據(jù)文中He taught me how to express ideas, search for information on different websites and list the points. 他教我如何表達(dá)想法，在不同的網(wǎng)站上搜索信息并列出要點(diǎn)�？芍�作者請(qǐng)教的人教他如何表達(dá)且在不同的網(wǎng)站搜索信息并列出要點(diǎn)，故答案為He taught him how to express ideas, search for information on different websites and list the points.

【4】根據(jù)文中I was even nervous. But when I stood in front of the whole class, I saw trust and encouragement from my group members. I started to cool down. 我甚至很緊張。但當(dāng)我站在全班同學(xué)面前時(shí)，我看到了我的團(tuán)隊(duì)成員的信任和鼓勵(lì)。我開(kāi)始冷靜下來(lái)�？芍�在看到團(tuán)隊(duì)成員對(duì)作者的信任和鼓勵(lì)時(shí)，他冷靜下來(lái)了，故答案為When he saw trust and encouragement from his group members.

【5】根據(jù)文中Although Mr. Hunt didn’t tell me who won the debate, I believe I have already learned a lot. Never lose confidence and you will surely win. 雖然亨特先生沒(méi)有告訴我誰(shuí)贏(yíng)得了辯論，但我相信我已經(jīng)學(xué)到了很多。永遠(yuǎn)不要失去信心，你一定會(huì)贏(yíng)的�？芍�作者想告訴我們永遠(yuǎn)不要失去信心，一定會(huì)贏(yíng)，故答案為Never lose confidence and you will surely win.

任務(wù)型閱讀理解在做題的時(shí)候，首先要先閱讀所給的任務(wù)，明確任務(wù)是什么，再帶著任務(wù)去閱讀，這樣就能做到心中有數(shù)，有針對(duì)性地去讀，才能提高閱讀效率。這類(lèi)題目做的時(shí)候應(yīng)該略讀全文，了解大意；然后再帶著問(wèn)題逐個(gè)擊破，比如When did the writer calm down?，根據(jù)文中I was even nervous. But when I stood in front of the whole class, I saw trust and encouragement from my group members. I started to cool down.便可知道答案。
