Although food safety systems usually work，there can be problems.Sometimes mistakes are made.For example，a truck might carry eggs and then icecream.The icecream could make people sick when the truck isn't cleaned b

14、【主旨大意】這篇文章主要講的是食品安全。當今很多食物都是安全的，因為有法律保護，然而，法律的監(jiān)控仍然不夠，更重要的是要讓人自覺遵循。另外，食品安全體系雖然有效，但有時錯誤也會發(fā)生。食品安全與我們息息相關，我們需采取行動讓食品更安全。 1．testing food/to test food 【解析】完成句子類①。從原文第一段“People were so worried that the US started testing food”．可知答案。 2. They/People can make good choices/a good choice(about their food)． 【解

15、析】回答問題類②。從原文第二段結尾“Labels(標簽) on food give people important information.Then they can make good choices about their food.”可知因果關系——通過閱讀標簽，可以做出好的選擇。 3．When the truck isn't cleaned/clean(before carrying it)． 【解析】回答問題類②。從第三段“a truck might carry eggs and then ice cream.The ice cream could make people sic

16、k when the truck isn't cleaned before carrying it.”可知，一個小車能裝雞蛋也能裝冰激凌，如果裝完雞蛋，沒有清洗就裝冰激凌，可能會讓人生病。 4．Although food safety systems usually work，there can be problems. 【解析】找主題句類③。第三段第一句即為中心句，后面是講到了導致食品不安全的兩個問題。因此答案為第三段的第一個句子。 5．但是確保/保證執(zhí)行/遵守法律/法規(guī)更加重要。【解析】英譯漢類④。重點句式為it的用法，it在此處為形式主語，真正的主語為“to make sure th

17、e rules are followed”，因此翻譯時要把“……更重要”翻譯出來?！癴ollow the rules”為“遵循法規(guī)”很重要，因此可以類似翻譯。 【點評】任務型閱讀對考生的能力要求較高，考生需先通讀全文，把握主旨大意，了解文章結構，再瀏覽題目，準確作答。,考點：完成句子類① 方法突破：該題是要求考生根據(jù)文章來補充句子，考生只需找到該句的位置，與題干一一對照，找出其中相應位置空缺的內(nèi)容補上即可。填好所缺單詞，做完題后還要從句子結構、語法形式和意義上進行復查，確保答案正確。 考點：回答問題類② 方法突破：回答問題類題目，在答題前，首先應該快速瀏覽所提問題，然后帶著這個問

18、題，有的放矢地去閱讀文章，獲取與問題有關的信息。對那些在文章中找不到答案的問題，必須再通讀全文，對獲得的信息進行整理，通篇考慮全文，才能寫出答案。答完問題后要進行檢查，確保答案在語法、拼寫及標點符號等方面準確無誤。 考點：找主題句類③ 方法突破：如果題干要求找出某自然段的主題句，學生必須仔細閱讀該自然段，掌握其大意，找出能概括該自然段的主題句。如果題干要求找出文章的主題句，則需要瀏覽文章大意。通常主題句位于自然段或文章的開頭或結尾。 考點：英譯漢類④ 方法突破：解答英譯漢的題目，先略讀全文，從整體上把握整篇文章的內(nèi)容，并理解畫線部分與文章其他部分之間的語法及邏輯關系，然后找

19、出句中的固定短語、從句或固定句型等，翻譯出合理的漢語句子。解答此類題型時要注意幾點：①要根據(jù)上下文翻譯，不要斷章取義；②翻譯時要與漢語語言習慣相聯(lián)系，不要逐詞死譯；③注意文化差異；④注意習語、諺語。 ,河北2016考點精煉 Passage 1(2016石家莊新華區(qū)模擬) 關于數(shù)字技術的調(diào)查 Teachers say the digital(數(shù)字的) age has had a good influence and a notsogood influence on this generation of American teenagers.More than 2 000 middle
