阅读短文回答问题题型是根据任务型教学设计而成的，它是介于阅读理解与书面表达之间的一种题型。它要求学生在阅读文章后能对文章中某些细节做到准确把握或对整篇文章进行提炼概括，是一种读写相结合的题型。这种题型既考查学生的阅读理解信息的能力，也考查学生的分析问题、解决问题的能力，还考查学生运用英语语言将有关内容以文字形式正确地表达出来的能力。纵观近几年的中考试题，不难发现阅读材料难度整体适中，材料后的题目设计难度并不很大，以下是2014-2016年的命题规律。

  阅读短文回答问题是中考阅读类题型之一。和阅读选择题型一样，也是对语篇阅读能力的考查。阅读回答问题题型与阅读选择题型不同点在于考生不仅需要对语篇有较好的理解，还要能够将对文章的理解通过自己组织的语言表达出来。因此可以说这个题型兼有阅读理解和书面表达的双重特点。阅读回答问题旨在综合考查考生通过阅读语篇获取信息和处理信息的能力以及写作中基本语法的运用能力。
此题型单词总量通常在300词左右。文章体裁通常以说明文为主。题材与现实生活紧密结合。通常第一题是一般疑问句，其他几个题为特殊疑问句，多数考题针对文章中的事实细节，答案都能在原文中到出处。最后一个问题通常为半开放性题目，往往需要概括文章的主旨要义或对作者的写作意图进行推测。
　　一、阅读技巧
  1. 略读。快速浏览全文，掌握语篇主旨大意。略读文章时着重阅读理解文章的首段、每段
的首句和末句。通过对这几个部分的着重阅读通常能够到文章的主旨大意；并能够掌握文章的行文脉络，迅速把握短文的主要信息的分布。
  2. 扫读。认真阅读五个题目，准确理解题意及其涉及的范围，带着问题到短文中寻相关答案。一般的事实题可直接从文中到答案，较为深层次的逻辑推理判断题，则需要在对全文理解的基础上进行作答。答题一定要立场客观，勿掺杂主观因素。
  3. 复查。答题后对照短文内容对所写出的答案进行审核，做出必要的修正。
  二、答题技巧
  答题时，要了解不同问题的回答方式。
  1. 答题总的原则是简略表达。
  2. 一般疑问句用Yes/No回答，相对简单些，只要理解文章含义，能判断出是或不是就可以了。
  3. 选择疑问句回答时不用Yes/No，需选择其中正确的一部分来作答。
  4. 回答特殊疑问句时较为复杂，要注意问题与回答在形式上的对应。
  5. 在回答最后一个总结题时，要注意答出关键点（通常有两点以上），用正确的语法将各个要点进行归纳整合，切忌照抄多个原文句子。
  6. 在回答时，应该对照题目，根据需要对回答的句子的人称、单复数、时态、语态、词性等做出适当的调整。

Black Friday
  （2015·北京）Thanksgiving is always on a Thursday. The day after it has been known as Black Friday. It is the start of the holiday shopping season, and it has been the busiest shopping day of the year in the US since 2005.
  Most stores offer big sales on Black Friday. They open their doors quite early in the morning. They try to attract shoppers with big discounts （打折）. Some items （商品） like TVs and clothes are much cheaper than usual. Stores may even lose money on these items. They hope that shoppers will buy gifts for other people while they are in the store.
  Black Friday is a great time to go shopping. However, there are problems. The biggest one is that there are not enough low-priced items. Each store may only have a few. These items are in great need, so people stand in long lines to get them. They may wait three to four hours before a store opens. They may be hoping to get a low price on a TV or computer, but not everybody can get one. Some people leave, disappointed.
