Question

【題目】Australia, also known as“the Land Down Under”, is a country, an island and a continent(大陸). It's the world's smallest continent and the sixth largest country. But only about 24 million people live there. The first people there were the Aborigines. In the late 18th century the British arrived. Today the British influence onAustraliais still very strong. For example, the national language is English and drivers drive on the left side of the road.

Australiawas cut off from the other continents a long time ago, so a lot ofAustralia's animals, like the koala and the kangaroo aren't found anywhere else in the world.Australiaalso has some of the most dangerous animals in the world. There are poisonous(有毒的) snakes and spiders. In the north there are huge saltwater crocodiles, and in the sea, around the coast, there are sharks and poisonous jellyfish.

The largest city inAustraliaisSydneywith its famous Opera House andHarbourBridge. The 2000 Summer Olympics were held inSydney. But Sydney isn't the capital of Australia. The capital isCanberra.

Australiais a huge country, but most Australians live in the south-east corner between Sydney and Melbourne. This is because most of the land is very dry. Australians call this dry area the outback. There are some huge farms there with millions of sheep. The children who live on these farms can't go to school, because the nearest town is too far away. They study at home with the School of the Air. They used to talk to their teachers by the radio and, nowadays, on the Internet. There is also a “flying doctor” service. The doctor comes to the outback by plane.

回答問題的任務型閱讀

該題型是給同學們呈現一段閱讀資料，然后設置幾個問題，做題時，我們應該先瀏覽一下問題，心中對所給任務有一個初步的了解，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

在做任務型閱讀題時，同學們應先瀏覽文章后所提出的問題，在瀏覽過任務后，應迅速回頭閱讀全文了解文章的主要內容，作者想表述的觀點，情感等。

二、尋找細節(jié)，逐題攻克

對于任務型閱讀中的細節(jié)考查題，需要同學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節(jié)所在的段落，然后鎖定目標段落，尋找總結自己所要的答案。

此外，同學們在答題和書寫方面還要注意以下幾點：

1. 作答時，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；標點符號要規(guī)范，單詞拼寫要正確無誤；注意時態(tài)的呼應和人稱的轉變。
