论文部分内容阅读
任务型阅读要求考生根据阅读文章提供的信息用恰的词语完成与短文相关的图表。做任务型阅读时，我们需要理解文章内容及表格结构，在理解的基础上将文章定位到的信息转换成适当形式填入表格中。信息转换时有一定的思路和方法，掌握了这种方法就能达到事半功倍。下面我们来介绍常见的种种转换方法。
一、名词数和格的转换
1．英语中，可数名词表示类别时可以用a/the＋单数形式，也可以用复数形式 (这时名词前不加冠词)。名词还有普通格和所有格之分。命题者可以根据名词这些特性命题，让考生进行名词单复数或格之间的转换。例如：
They offer high quality education at a low cost.
In 1950, nearly a fifth of the population lived in the 20 largest cities of the nation.
In 1950, in the (2)______20 largest cities lived almost 20% of the population.
2．词性间的转换
英语中，不同的词性有不同的作用，充当不同的句子成分，而不同的句子成分也需要用不同的词性。如：谓语要用动词，主语、宾语用名词、动名词、不定式等，表语用名词、形容词、动名词、分词、不定式等，定语用形容词等，状语用副词等。考生务必认真审题，分析句子结构，根据句法和词法知识，把文章中的信息词转换成适当形式填入表格中。例如：
