二、任务型阅读。
在英语学习中，我们该如何有效阅读？请阅读下面短文，完成下列任务。
Reading is of great importance in English learning, and I'm honoured to share some useful tips to improve your reading skills with you.
Reading for just 20 minutes a day can make a big difference. I started with English storybooks and moved on to novels like the Harry Potter books. When you come across new words, try guessing their meanings before looking them up in a dictionary. This way works well to build up your vocabulary.
Also, creating story maps is key. After each paragraph, draw timelines and character links in your notebook. This helps you organize your thoughts and have a deeper understanding of the story's main idea.
Finally, watch English movies. Start by listening first, and then follow
along with the subtitles(字幕). Through practising again and again, it will be easier for you to read the subtitles while listening. Such a skill can help you save plenty of time when answering reading comprehension(理解) questions.
Keep in mind that English reading is not a race to translate(翻译) every word. Instead, it's a journey to a different culture. When the words on the page come to life like scenes in a movie, the door to the English-speaking world will open wide, giving you the chance to learn more.
任务一:请根据短文内容从每小题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
1. What does the writer suggest doing first when you come across new words while reading? ()
A. Guessing their meanings.
B. Asking the teacher for help.

2. What is the purpose of creating story maps? ()
A. To translate the story into Chinese.
B. To remember the words in the story.
C. To draw pictures of the characters.
D. To organize thoughts and understand the story better.
3. What can we learn from the passage about watching English movies? ()
A. It can help us translate every word quickly.
B. We should read subtitles first and then listen.
C. It can help improve our reading comprehension.
D. We need to draw timelines while watching movies.
4. What would be the best structure of the passage? (①=Paragraph 1, …) ()

1. A
2. D
