一、高中英语任务型阅读

1．根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

Lemon water is pretty popular. It's offered as a free upgrade to regular water at pretty many restaurants.________, others are devotees of the possible health benefits. Here's what may happen if you take up the lemon water habit.

Easier weight loss

Studies in mice indicate that the antioxidants(抗氧化剂) in lemons can reduce weight gain despite a high-fat diet. More studies are needed to determine if the results can be applied to humans, but anecdotal evidence is favorable. People who drink lemon water regularly report easier weight loss, though it is unclear if the combination of lemon and water is the fundamental driver.________.

Get enough vitamin C

Vitamin C is an important antioxidant that has a ton of health benefits. It can only be gotten from food as our bodies don't produce it alone. Getting your RDA (Recommended Daily Allowance) of vitamin C can lower the risk of heart disease, stroke, and high blood pressure. Vitamin C is good for your skin and bonds with free radicals (自由电子) that accelerate aging.________, but they're a great source nevertheless.

Stabilized moods

Studies have found that smelling lemon scent reduces stress hormones that regulate mood. Drinking lemon water offers this benefit as well as the vitamins and potassium(钾) in the fruit. ________, and high blood pressure is related to stress, so not getting enough potassium can certainly affect your mood. All in all, lemon water can be a calming drink.

In the end, drinking water is never a bad call, and there is absolutely no reason not to add lemon to it. Drinking lemon water provides some helpful nutrients and antioxidants. Give it a try!________.

A. Lemon is a common smell in all manner of cleaning products

B. Potassium plays a huge part in regulating blood pressure

C. There is nothing to lose

D. Lemons aren't the highest in vitamin C

E. While some people drink it simply because of its taste

F. If adding lemon to water can encourage people to drink more

G. It could be that drinking more water helps dieters to feel full and avoid overeating

【答案】 E；G；D；B；C

【解析】【分析】这是一篇说明文。从三个方面说明了柠檬水能够有益健康的原因。（1）下文中的others可知此处表示的some people的看法，因此推断E项：而有些人仅仅因为它的味道而喝它，其他人则是健康益处的忠实信徒。符合语境，故答案选E。（2）本句位于段尾，有承接总结上文的作用。上文中提到经常喝柠檬水的人更容易减肥，段尾总结说明原因：这可能是因为多喝水有助于节食者感到饱腹感，避免暴饮暴食。

G选项代入文中前后连贯通顺，故答案选G。

（3）本段主要说明了柠檬中富含维生素C，D选项中的vitamin C对应小标题，且与后文中的指代柠檬的代词they相对应，故D选项符合题意。

（4）首先本句位于段落中间，有承上启下的作用。且B选项中的Potassium 对应上文Drinking lemon water offers this benefit as well as the vitamins and potassium(钾) in the fruit.（喝柠檬水提供了这种好处以及维生素和水果中的钾。），选项中的blood pressure 对应后文的 high blood pressure is related to stress（高血压与压力有关）。故B选项符合题意。（5）段尾综合上文提到了的柠檬水的好处，所以提出give it a try试一试的建议，因为喝柠檬水反正没有什么可失去的，是没有坏处的。故C选项符合题意。

【点评】阅读理解七选五解题步骤

1）分析选项，串联主题：了解文章的主题、大意，会让解题的方向更明确。 2）研究空格前后，对比选项，选择答案。3）复读短文，核对答案：为了保证答案的正确性，一定要把答案代入原文，进行核对检查。

2．阅读短文，按照题目要求用英语回答问题。

Seven years ago, my wife told our 6-year-old daughter about our wedding weekend. My wife had moved back home to spend the weekend with her family.

As I was tucking our daughter in (把女儿的被子掖好) later that night, she asked if she could "come home like mommy did" when she got married one day. (Hopefully, one day far off into the future...) I told her our house would always be open to her. She gave me a big hug and a kiss on the cheek. She was extremely happy.

After a few seconds, I could see her mind churning (思绪翻腾)—the happiness dissipated. She pushed her finger into my belly and told me in low spirits, "Your belly is too big and you are too fat. I don't know if you are going to make it."

I was shocked. It was true that my health had fallen into a huge decline in the previous five years as I was building Contegix. I had not thought of it as destroying a future with my family. A 6-year-old girl saw what I missed.

I decided to run a mile the next morning. I couldn't make it 1/4 mile. I didn't give up and went out the next morning.

Seven years later, I have lost 60 pounds and regularly run ultra marathons. I attempted my first 100 miles last August, but I missed the terminal point at mile 87 after running on a torn hamstring (腿筋撕裂) for the previous 79 miles.

Yet, the most important distance I will ever go will be walking her down the aisle (结婚) one day. I would not make it if it hadn't been for the honesty and innocence of a 6-year-old.

（1）Why was the author's daughter happy? (no more than 15 words)

（2）What does the underlined word "dissipated" in Paragraph 3 mean? (one word)

（3）What happened to the author as he was building Contegix? (no more than 10 words) （4）What does the author regularly do seven years later? (no more than 5 words)

（5）What do you think of the author? Please explain. (no more than 25 words)

【答案】（1）Because she was told the house would be always open to her.

Or: Because the author told her their house would be always open to her.

（2）disappeared. /vanished.

（3）His health declined. /His health fell into a huge decline.

（4）He regularly runs ultra marathons.

Or: Running ultra marathons.

（5）He's a good father because he didn't want to disappoint his daughter and began to take care of his health (take exercise regularly) for his family.

【解析】【分析】本文是一篇记叙文，作者与女儿7年前的一段对话，是女儿所说的话让作者更加关注自己的健康并给了作者减肥的决心和动力，与此同时作者也不想让女儿失望。七年之后作者减掉了60磅，并参加了超级马拉松，由于腿筋撕裂，作者没有完成比赛，但作者很满足，作者认为最重要的距离是在女儿结婚时，陪女儿走过红地毯的距离。（1）考查细节理解。根据第二段中的“I told her our house would always be open to her. She gave me a big hug and a kiss on the cheek. She was extremely happy.”可知，作者的女儿快乐是因为作者告诉她他们家的门永远向她敞开。故填Because she was told the house would be always open to her. Or: Because the author told her their house would be always open to her.（2）考查词义猜测。根据第三段中的“She pushed her finger into my belly and told me in low spirits.”可知，女儿情绪变得低落，所以"dissipated"意思是Disappeared./Vanished (消失) 的意思，女儿的快乐了。故填disappeared./vanished.

（3）考查细节理解。根据第四段中的“It was true that my health had fallen into a huge decline in the previous five years as I was building Contegix.”可知，作者在建造Contegix时，作者的健康状况急剧下降。故填His health declined./His health fell into a huge decline.

（4）考查细节理解。根据倒数第二段中的“Sev en years later, I have lost 60 pounds and regularly run ultra marathons.”可知，七年后，作者减掉了60磅，并定期参加超级马拉松比赛。故填He regularly runs ultra marathons.Or: Running ultra marathons.

（5）考查推理判断。短文叙述了作者与女儿的7年前的一段对话，是女儿所说的话让作者更加关注自己的健康并给了作者减肥的决心和动力，与此同时作者不想让女儿失望。七年之后作者减掉了60磅，并参加了超级马拉松，由于腿筋撕裂，作者没有完成比赛，但作者很满足，作者认为最重要的距离是在女儿结婚时，陪女儿走过红地毯的距离。短文中充满了父亲对女儿的爱，对家庭的爱。所以作者是一个好父亲，因为他不想让女儿失望，所以他通过锻炼的方式使自己更健康，是为了女儿，也是为了这个家。故填He's a good father because he didn't want to disappoint his daughter and began to take care of his health ( take exercise regularly ) for his family.

【点评】本题考点涉及细节理解，词义猜测和推理判断三个题型的考查，是一篇故事类阅读，考生需要准确掌握所给材料，结合相关的词汇知识和词汇知识，写出正确的答案。

3．请认真阅读下列短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入最恰当的单词。

Fighting the curse of presenteeism

"It's true hard work never killed anybody, but I figure, why take the chance?" Beyond a certain level, extra effort seems to be self-defeating. Studies suggest that, after 10 hours a week, employee productivity falls sharply.

But that doesn't stop some managers from demanding that workers stay chained to their desk for long periods. Jack Ma, the founder of Alibaba, recently applauded the "996" model, where employees work from 9am to 9pm, six days a week, as a huge blessing". However, to modem office workers presenteeism is a curse.

There will be days when you do not have much to do, just waiting for someone else to respond to a request. As the clock ticks past 5pm, there may be no purpose in staying at your desk. But you can see your boss hard at work and, more important, they can see you. So you make an effort to look busy.

If bosses do not like to go home before their underlings (下属)and underlings fear leaving before their bosses, everyone is trapped. Staff may feel that they will not get a pay rise, or a promotion, if they are not seen to be putting in maximum effort. This is easily confused with long hours. Managers, who are often no good at judging employees5 performance, use time in the office as a measurement.

But presenteeism has more serious consequences. As well as reducing productivity, this can increase medical expenses for the employer. According to a study, these costs can be six time: higher for employers than the costs of absenteeism among workers. To take one example, research found that Japanese employees with lower-back pain were three times more likely to turn up for work than in Britain. As a result, those workers were more likely to experience greater pain and to suffer from depression. What could be more discouraging than being in pain while feeling trapped at work?

"None of this is to say that employers are not entitled to expect workers to be in the office for a small amount of time. Unavoidably there will be a need for some (preferably short)meetings. Dealing with colleagues face-to-face develops friendships, allows for a useful exchange of ideas and enables workers to have a better sense of their common needs.

With portable smart phones and laptops, we can work at home as easily as in the office. Turning an office into a prison does nothing for the creativity that is increasingly demanded of office workers as routine tasks are automatic. To be productive you need presence of mind, not being present in the flesh.

paid/covered/afforded；tendency；use/help；Benefits；face-to-face；understand

【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了老板如何应对工人工作中的不满。

（1）考查信息归纳。根据文章内容结合表格，先给出现象，讨论这种现象的原因、后果。因此答案Phenomenon。

（2）考查细节理解。根据第四段中的"Staff may feel ……not get a raise，or a promotion……efforts"得出答案是give sb. an edge/advantage“给某人优势”。故填edge/advantage。

（3）考查推理判断。根据第四段中的“Managers, who are often no good at judging employees5 performance, use time in the office as a measurement.”，老板不擅长评判员工的表现，就会把时长作为考核手段得知答案是考核，故填evaluated /measured/judged。（4）考查原词复现。根据第五段中的“ As well as reducing productivity, this can increase medical expenses for the employer. ”和第三段中的“So you make an effort to look busy.”，可知答案是productivity。

（5）考查推理判断。根据第五段中的“As well as reducing productivity, this can increase medical expenses for the employer. ”，可得知雇主还需多支付员工的医疗费用，因而表格中更多的医疗费用要雇主为员工负担。注意被动语态的使用，故填 paid/covered/afforded。（6）考查细节理解。根据第五段中的“As a result, those workers were more likely to experience greater pain and to suffer from depression. ”可以得知员工工作时长过长，不仅身体上出现健康问题，心里上也遭受巨大压力，have a tendency to固定短语，“有……倾向，有……趋势”，故填 tendency。

（7）考查推理判断。根据最后一段中的"……does nothing for the creativity……"可知答案是be of no use固定短语“毫无帮助”，所以填use/help。

（8）考查推理判断。根据表格给出的内容可知都是face-to-face contact的好处，因而由文章内容概括为benefits，注意表格中第一栏首字母大写，故填 Benefits。

（9）考查细节理解。很据第六段中的“Deali ng with colleagues face--to--face develops friendships, allows for a useful exchange of ideas and enables workers to have a better sense of their common needs.”，可知在阐述face--to-face 的工作方式，因而答案为face -to- face，面对面的思想沟通、意见交流。

（10）考查推理判断。根据第六段中的"Dealing with colleagues face-to-face develops friendships, allows for a useful exchange of ideas and enables workers to have a better sense of their common needs"可知答案是更好的明白。故填understand。

【点评】本题涉及信息归纳，细节理解，推理判断和原词复现四个题型的考查，是一篇社会类阅读，要求考生准确掌握所给材料，根据上下文的逻辑关系，结合相关的语法知识和词汇知识，写出正确答案。

4．阅读下列短文并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入最恰当的单词，每空一词。

Ready for final year

Even though they're anxiously awaiting their gaokao, Senior 3 students feel relieved after having survived their busiest year of high school.

Your milestone year begins in just two months, so how can you make the most of it? Here, three graduates offer some practical advice to help you navigate (航行) your final year in the right way.

Sun Hairuo, High School Affiliated to Renmin University of China, Beijing:

Think ahead about your major. Even though some universities allow students to switch to a new major after enrollment, it still involves a lot of effort to do. So while you're preparing for the gaokao, start to consider what field you want to major in at the same time.

When I was aware of my interest in social science, I began to collect information on the internet about what courses I'd like to take in university and what life would be like on campus if I chose this direction. Don't judge a major before you know everything about it, since your entire future depends on it.

Qian Wenjing, Hangzhou Foreign Language School, Zhejiang:

Enjoy a hobby alongside your studies. It's important to get high marks in all subjects, but if you have nothing that can distract you from the piles of homework, you'll have no motivation.

For example, I run a WeChat public account, which you can find by searching for “大嘴小个儿” on WeChat. On it, I share my reflections on life, recommend good books and introduce learning methods to others. I also make videos on how to write an interesting daily journal for the video platform https://www.doczj.com/doc/397085838.html,.

So, keep on top of your schoolwork, but make sure you find time to let your hair down sometimes too.

Wang Zixin, Beijing No 4 High School, Beijing:

Create your own system of knowledge using a notebook. In the review stage, find your weak points on every science subject after each exam. Summarize the knowledge behind the errors in your notebook — this will not only identify the problem, but will also save you time when you don't have to spend so long figuring out the answer.

As for liberal arts subjects such as Chinese and English, write down any memorable sentences you come across in your notebook.

And keep it in mind that improvements don't happen right away — it takes time to get better. Ready for final year

5．请认真阅读下列短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。

Is Cash Becoming Outdated?

When he rolls into a gas station to fill his tank, Barkhad Dahir doesn't get out of his car. He pushes a few buttons on his cellphone and within seconds he has paid for the fuel. With the same quick pushes on his phone, he pays for virtually everything he needs: groceries at the supermarket, a few oranges from a market stall, or a cup of sweet milky tea from a café. Mr. Dahir boasts, "Even lying in bed, you can be paying your bills."

Electronic payments offer consumers convenience, provide revenue for banks, credit card companies and payment processors, and offer merchants improved cash flow and convenience. "I don't even carry money any more," says Adan Abokor, a democracy activist. "I haven't seen cash for a long time. Almost every merchant, even hawker (小贩) on the street, accepts payment by cellphone. There's no waiting for it and no counting of cash."

The system is impressively simple and secure. Purchases are made by dialing a three-digit number, entering a four-digit PIN, and then entering the retailer's payment number and the amount of money. Both customers and merchants receive text messages to confirm the payment. Clearing up cash payments has several advantages as well. The printing and handling of money is expensive. Cash payments can be anonymous and hard to track criminal activities to be conducted in secret. Many governments favor reducing cash dealings in order to better monitor and understand the activities of their citizens. The Swedish government has been discussing the removing of cash since 2010.

However, some people doubt what members of a cashless society do when the power goes off. Do they choose to barter (物物交换) and rob? Do they sit at home and wait? What happens to people who rely on their cellphones to process money dealings when cell service and the Internet are interrupted? A world affected by terrorism and increasingly violent weather may not yet be ready to abandon currency. "Ironically, the day after the largest bank in Norway, DNB, proposed ending all cash dealings, I went to my local grocery store and when I tried to pay by phone, I was told that I needed to go to the ATM to get cash because the system was broken."

said an interviewee.

Other people fear that electronic payments may create security and fraud risks and enable dealings to be tracked and reported. Privacy, security and convenience are all important factors in the adoption of electronic payment technology. New technologies which balance and address these factors may enable people to remove cash.

（5）考查信息归纳。根据第四段中的”The printing and handling of money is expensive.“印刷和处理货币是昂贵的。可知电子支付减少印刷和处理金钱的费用。故填cost/expense。（6）考查信息归纳。根据第四段中的”Many governments favor reducing cash dealings in order to better monitor and understand the activities of their citizens.“许多政府赞成减少现金交易，以便更好地监测和了解其公民的活动。可知电子支付使政府很容易跟踪公民的现金活动。故填easy/convenient。

We just celebrated my birthday. I say "celebrated" because we had cake and ice cream. For my kids, any excuse for ice cream and cake is a celebration. I'm not sure if to me it was a thing to celebrate, though. I like the special attention that birthday bring, but I don't wait for them 364 days of the year like my children do. For them, another number means more privileges and more things that they get to do. For an adult, another number means fewer things. that you can do, like "I can't run as fast as I used to…etc. "

I went with my children to the old-age home near my apartment building. We walked inside the door. The contrast between my preschoolers full of energy and the old women siting in the wheelchair by the door made me lost in thought. Not so long ago, I was a bouncing preschool like my children. Not so long ago, there women were the mothers of small children. Fifty years ago, they were me, and in fifty years, I could be them. The visit, like my birthday, served as a reality check. "Life is so short and it goes by so quickly. Enjoy the moment that you are in, because you will never get it back, "I told myself.

This is also what I want to leave behind to my children. I decide to try to start just by not complaining. In any difficult situation, I will try to find the good things about it, no matter how small the good things might be.

（2）Because they can get more privileges and more things to do.

（3）Energetic.

（4）Try to find good things however difficult the situation is

7．请认真阅读下列短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。

Do you know the look of wonder and joy that children get on their face when they listen to someone reading them a story？Schools across the nation are bringing in volunteers to guide children in this very way. If you simply enjoy spending time with children, being a reading volunteer can be a great way to help support the upcoming generation of readers.

Reading volunteers work with elementary school age children to promote reading. They may read books to children, listen to children read aloud, or distribute books to school children. Reading volunteers promote the activity of reading, rather than focusing on teaching reading skills. They may read to a whole class of children, to a small group, or be assigned a child to read to one-on-one. During the time they spend with new readers, reading volunteers encourage them to learn to read.

Almost anyone who knows how to read can be a reading volunteer. High school students, college students, parents, grandparents, and police officers are just an example of the kinds of people who become reading volunteers. Being able to read and wanting to spend time inspiring children to read are the only skills needed to be a successful reading volunteer.

Several educational research studies show that children who are involved in programs with adult reading volunteers improve their school performance levels. For example, in 1998, researcher Sara Rimm-Kaufmann found that first graders involved in a program with an adult reading volunteer three times a week had better letter recognition and reading skills than similar first graders who hadn't been involved in such groups. In 2000, the Eugene Research Institute found that fifth graders who had been in "SMART", an adult volunteer literacy program, were 60% more likely to have grade-level scores in standardized reading tests. Moreover, a 2006 study by Brian Volkmann showed that children who were read to by adult volunteers had improved school attendance, which is a major predictor of high school graduation rates.

In addition, reading volunteers themselves can gain a lot of benefits that range from expanding their personal networks to adding valuable skills to their resumes. They also enjoy the special time they get to spend with young children. Many volunteers have heart-warming stories to share with the children they read to. The volunteers know that they are inspiring young children with a proved educational strategy. So, if you have time, energy, and skill to support children's literacy, it is a good idea to sign up to be a reading volunteer.

【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了阅读志愿者的工作内容，成为阅读志愿者的要求，成为阅读志愿者的好处以及阅读志愿者项目对孩子的积极影响等内容。

（1）考查信息转换。根据第一段中的"Schools across the nation are bringing in volunteers to guide children in this very way"可知，“全国各地的学校都在招募志愿者，以这种方式指导孩子”可推断出“雇用阅读志愿者在全国范围内是一个普遍的/常规的做法”，common practice 意为“普遍做法”。故填common/standard。

（2）考查推理判断。根据第二段"Reading volunteers promote the activity of reading，rather than focusing on teaching reading skills."可知“阅读志愿者促进阅读的活动，而不是专注于教学的阅读技巧。”可知，“阅读志愿者关注的只是阅读的活动而不是教学阅读技巧”。故填skills。

（3）考查信息转换。根据第二段中的"During the time they spend with new readers, reading volunteers encourage them to learn to read"可知“在与阅读新手相处的时间里，阅读志愿者鼓励他们学习阅读”。由此可知填encouragement/inspiration。

（4）考查信息归纳。根据第三段的内容和表格右栏的内容可知，此处处主要讲述的是成为阅读志愿者的条件/资格。故本空填Requirements/Qualifications/Conditions。

（5）考查信息概括。根据最后两段的内容及表格右栏的内容可知，此处主要讲的是阅读志愿者项目的好处或影响。故填Benefits/Advantages/Effects。

（6）考查信息转换。根据第四段中的"first graders involved in a program with an adult reading volunteer three times a week had better letter recognition and reading skills than similar first graders who hadn't been involved in such groups."可知，阅读志愿者项目可提高孩子们的识别（recognize）字母的能力。题干中的at为介词，因此本空填动词的ing形式，故填recognizing。

（7）考查信息转换。根据第四段中的"...fifth graders who had been in "SMART", an adult volunteer literacy program, were 60% more likely to have grade-level scores in standardized reading tests."可知，阅读志愿者项目可帮助孩子们更容易地通过（pass）考试。故填pass。

（8）考查信息转换。根据第四段中的"showed that children who were read to by adult volunteers had improved school attendance, which is a major predictor of high school graduation rates."可知，阅读志愿者项目有助于提高孩子们的上课出勤率，即鼓励孩子们不逃课。skip (不做应做的事)，不参加。avoid doing sth.为固定搭配，意为“避免做某事”。因此此处应填skipping。

（9）考查信息转换。根据最后一段中的"reading volunteers themselves can gain a lot of benefits that range from expanding their personal networks t..."可知，阅读志愿者们自身也可从阅读志愿者项目中得到好处，包括拓宽他们的人际网，即改善他们的人际关系（relationship）。故填relationship(s)。

（10）考查信息转换。根据最后一段中的"reading volunteers themselves can gain a lot of benefits that range from expanding their personal networks to adding valuable skills to their resumes"可知，阅读志愿者们从阅读志愿者项目中得到好处也包括充实自己的简历，即增加自身获得工作（job）的可能性。故填job。

【点评】本题考点涉及信息转换，推理判断和信息概括三个题型的考查，是一篇介绍类阅读，要求考生准确掌握所给材料，结合相关的语法知识和词汇知识，做出正确答案。

8．请认真阅读下面短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。每个空格只填一个单词。

A psychotherapist once taught me a little trick that helped me feel less angry at my partner and less sad about the failings of our relationship.

She said, "Look at him and imagine him as a very little boy; that way, you separate yourself somewhat from the adult, and you are likely to understand and forgive him."

It actually helped. I couldn't be as mad at or disappointed by a child as I could be with a grown man. So, at least on some occasions, we were both spared the heartache of an uncomfortable silence or a not-so-silent argument. And I sometimes still use versions of that trick whenever I feel frustrated or angry in other relationships or personal exchanges.

But what if you could mentally change the form of the emotion itself? According to scientists at the University of Texas, maybe you can.

Focusing specifically on sadness, the researchers asked two groups of study participants to write about a time in their lives when they felt very sad. They then asked one group to imagine sadness as a person, and write down a description of the person they imagined would be sadness.

Not surprisingly, the participants described sadness in such ways as an older person with gray hair and sunken eyes or a young girl holding her head down as she slowly walked along.

The researchers asked the other group of participants to write down a description of sadness with respect to its impact on their moods. When asked to rate their levels of sadness after completing their descriptions, the participants who wrote about the emotion itself and how it affects them reported higher levels of sadness than the group that anthropomorphized (人格化)sadness into a specific type of person with familiar human characteristics. The researchers suggest that by giving life to the emotion, participants can view sadness as something (or someone) separate and somewhat distant from themselves, helping them relieve their negative feelings.

While it's okay to feel sad, many people behave in unconscious and sometimes self-destructive ways to distract or "save" themselves when they are consumed by negative emotions. So in the study authors wanted to know whether or not the group that reported feeling less sad would make smarter shopping decisions.

They tested this by asking participants in both groups to first choose between a salad or a cheesecake dessert to go with the main dish they were having for lunch. The researchers also asked participants to choose between a computer loaded with features for productivity or a computer loaded with features for entertainment. Those study participants who had anthropomorphized their emotions were more likely to choose the salad and the productive computer than those who had simply written about their feelings.

For obvious reasons, then, they say this technique is best for reduce negative emotions.

【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了缓解悲伤情绪的方法——将悲伤的情绪具体

化，但要将悲伤的情绪与相应的人分割开。同时文章中还介绍了一些实验，要求实验对象将自己悲伤的情绪想象成一个人，并赋予这个“人”以生命，从而达到减轻悲伤情绪的目的。

（1）考查细节理解。根据第一段中的“a little trick that helped me feel less angry at my partner and less sad about the failings of our relationshi p.”心理治疗师告诉了作者一个帮助自己对父母不那么生气以及对关系不那么难过的方法。文章第一段为主旨段，提取关键词less。在做文章标题时应注意大写。故填Less。

（2）考查细节理解。根据第二段中的“Look at him and imagine him as a very little boy;”可知应填imagine，但by为介词，后接动名词，故填imagining。

（3）考查推理判断。根据第三段中的“we were both spared the heartache of an uncomfortable silence or a not-so-silent argument.” 可知。我们都可以免于一个不舒服沉默带来的心痛或不那么沉默带来的争论。be spared of固定短语，“幸免于”，即对双方都有好处或益处。故填beneficial/helpful。

（4）考查细节理解。根据第五段中的“Not surprisingly, the participants described sadness in such ways ”可知，毫无意外的是，参与者用那样的方式描述了悲伤。Not surprisingly=It is no surprise that。故填surprise。

（5）考查推理判断“根据第六段中的”the participants who wrote about the emotion itself ...reported higher level of sadness than ...“情绪本身的参与者有着更高层次的悲伤，因此与之相对应的，将悲伤描述成一个人的，悲伤的层次较低。故填lower。

（6）考查推理判断。根据倒数第二段中的”Those study participan ts who had anthropomorphized their emotions were more likely to choose the salad and the productive computer than those who had simply written about their feelings.“接受了心理治疗的参与者更有可能选择沙拉作为作为主菜，且会选择装有工具性软件的电脑，说明心理治疗会对参与者造成影响，故填affect/influence/impact。

（7）考查细节理解。根据倒数第三段中的”While it's okay to feel sad, many people behave in unconscious and...“可知。当沉浸在悲伤里时，很多人就会表现的无意识，即失去了对自己的控制。故填control。

（8）考查推理判断。根据anthropomorphized一词，及第六段中的”The researchers suggest that by giving life to the emotion, participants can view sadness as something (or someone) separate and somewhat distant from themselves, helping them relieve their negative feelings.“通过将情绪赋予生命，参与者可以将悲伤从别的事情中分离开来，帮助他们减少负面情绪。故填life。

（9）考查细节理解。根据倒数第二段中的”choose between a salad or a cheesecake dessert “可知，这些都是高甜、高热量的食物，故填rich/high/abundant。

（10）考查概括归纳。根据最后一段中的”For obvious reasons, then, they say this technique is best for reduce negative emotions.“这样的方式是减低负面情绪最好的方法。最后一段是对整篇文章的归纳总结，故填Conclusion。

9．阅读表达：阅读下面短文，按照要求完成阅读任务。

A daughter complained to her father about her life and how things have been so hard for her. She did not know how she was going to make it and she wanted to give up. She was tired of fighting and struggling. It seemed that just as one problem was solved another arose.

Her father, a chef, took her to the kitchen, filled three pots with water and placed the fire on high Soon the three pots came to a boil. In one he placed carrots, in the other he placed eggs, and the last he placed ground coffee beans. He let them sit and boil, without saying a word.

The daughter impatiently wondered what he was trying to do. In half an hour he walked over to the stove and turned down the fire. He pulled the carrots out and placed them in the bowl. He pulled the eggs out and placed them in the bowl. Then he ladled (盛) the coffee out and placed it in a cup. Turning to her he asked. "Darling what do you see?"

"Carrots, eggs, and coffee." she replied.

He brought her closer and asked her to feel the carrots. She did and noted that they were soft. He then asked her to take an egg and break it. After pulling off the shell, she observed the hard-boiled ege. Finally, he asked her to sip the coffee. She smiled, as she tasted its rich aroma (芳香). Humbly, she asked. "What does it mean Father?"

He explained. "Each of them faced the same adversity, however each reacted differently. The carrot went in strong, hard. But after going through boiling water, it softened and became weak. The egg was fragile. A thin outer shell protected a liquid center. But after sitting through the boiling water, its inside became hardened. The coffee beans are unique however. After they were in the boiling water, they had changed the water"

10．阅读短文，按照题目要求用英语回答问题。

My dad is a kind, gentle man, and a man of few words. Throughout my life, he offered advice rarely. But the words were always appropriate to the situation I was facing.

As a teen when I struggled with making sense of the world around me, he said, “All things are relative.” He taught me the right view of the world. When I was offered the opportunity to be a manager of an organization as an undergraduate student, I asked him for advice because he was a senior manager of a large company. His advice was simple, “Only when you become the manager can you have a vision for how you can make the organization better; management isn't about power and it's about leadership.” I learned what I needed was not only to be responsible for my team but also to have leading ability. When I was feeling down, he explained, “Think that you make the wrong choices in life, sometimes.”

My dad is 86 now, living on his own and enjoying life while struggling with the challenges that aging brings. He keeps a positive attitude despite long pain and the losses that come in life. Although we live quite far away from each other, we talk daily on the phone, and he shares the joys of my young family. As I tell him how we're heading off cycling or on a trip or out to play tennis, now his typical response is, “Do it while you can.” This is very importan t. We can't be sure of the future. My father's advice is like the ancient dictum（格言）of “ carpe diem”— seize the day and enjoy it to the fullest.

My dad rarely “lectured me”. He trusted me, and helped me when I needed help. His patience and wisdom have been true gifts in my life. As I doubt my ability and my motivation, I recall his most recent gift of wisdom, “Do it while you can”. It's enough to “just get me started”.

（1）Why did the author's dad tell him “All things are relative.”? (No more than 10 wor ds) （2）What qualities should a manager have according to the author? (No more than 5 words) （3）What is the purpose of the author's father talking with him on the phone every day? (No more than 10 words)

（4）How do you understand the underlined sentence in the last paragraph? (No more than 10 words)

（5）How do you feel about the ancient dictum of “carpe diem”? (No more than 20 words) 【答案】（1）To teach the author the right view of the world.

（2）Both responsibility and leading ability.

（3）Learning (To learn) more about the pleasure of the author's family.

（4）His father's words make him take action.

（5）(One possible version:) I totally agree with it, because I think one should seize the day to enjoy his life without regret.

【解析】【分析】本文是一篇记叙文。作者介绍了自己的父亲及父亲对自己的教导和启发。

（1）考查信息提升能力。根据第二段中的“As a teen when I struggled with making sense of the world around me, he said, ‘All things are relative.’ He taught me the right view of the world.”可知，作者的父亲说“所有的事情都是相对的。”是为了教给作者正确的世界观。考虑词数限制，故答To teach the author the right view of the world.

（2）考查信息提升能力。根据第二段中的“I learned what I needed was not only to be responsible for my team but also to have leading ability.”可知，作者明白了作为经理他需要的不仅仅是对团队负责，还要有领导能力。考虑词数限制，故答Both responsibility and leading ability.

（3）考查信息提升能力。根据第三段中的“Although we live quite far away from each other, we talk daily on the phone, and he shares the joys of my young family. ”可知，作者的父亲每天和他通电话的目的实际上是想分享年轻家庭的快乐。考虑词数限制，故答Learning (To learn) more about the pleasure of the author's family.

（4）考查信息提升能力。根据最后一段中的“As I doubt my ability and my motivation, I recall his most recent gift of wisdom, “Do it while you can”. It's enough to “just get me started”可知，当作者怀疑自己的能力和动机时，他会想起父亲最近赐予他的智慧——“趁你能做的时候去做”。这足以让我“开始”了。由此可知，划线句意为，父亲的话让自己行动起来。考虑词数限制，故答His father's words make him take action.

（5）考查信息提升能力。此题答案不统一，答题时要有立场、要有依据，同时注意字数限制。例如：I totally agree with it, because I think one should seize the day to enjoy his life without regret.（我完全同意，因为我认为一个人应该抓住这一天，享受他的生活没有遗憾）

【点评】本题涉及信息提升能力的考查，要求考生准确掌握所给材料，根据上下文的逻辑

关系，结合相关的语法知识和词汇知识，从而做出正确答案。

Porridge doesn't have a very tasty name, does it? ________. I'm here to try and convince you that porridge can be a delicious, convenient and very healthy way to start the day.

Porridge is a type of food served for breakfast, usually a type of grain with either milk or water. It is thicker than liquid, but not solid. ________, so it's a very good option for people who are ill, and it provides long-lasting energy for the day.

It takes about five minutes to cook.

Once it's cooked, the fun part is adding the flavors (味道). Porridge alone doesn't have a very strong flavour. ________, I think this is what makes porridge exciting! It is like a blank piece of paper-you can add almost anything you want to the porridge base. Seeds, nuts and dried fruits are very healthy options to add and can give you energy for the day. But if you don't like these, or you're allergic, then sugar and chocolate are also very tasty options.

________. Either oats or corn or both are "staple foods" for most people on the earth. You can usually buy big bags of either, then add local materials to make your porridge interesting-whatever is cheap and convenient to find, wherever you are.

【答案】 D；C；B；G；F

【解析】【分析】这是一篇说明文。粥是很好的早餐，但是很多人不喜欢它，认为其寡淡无味。在读完文章之后，你会对粥有一个全新的认识。

（1）根据前文“Porridge doesn't have a very tasty name, does it?”可知，粥听起来并不美味，因此本空承接上文论述，故答案选D。

（2）根据后文“so it's a very good option for people who are ill, and it provides long-lasting energy for the day.”可推测粥很好消化，所以对于生病的人来说是一个很好的选择，它能为人体提供持久的能量，故答案选C。

（3）根据下文“I put a very big handful of oats (麦片) in a pot, add a little bit of water and about 200ml of milk, an d let the mixture boil. It takes about five minutes to cook.”可知是作者在叙述煮粥的方法，故对应下文应选B“如果我煮粥的话”，我会把一大把燕麦放进锅里，加

高三英语阅读练习 Few people need to be told not to overspend on credit or debit cards or to curb impulse shopping. You know you shouldn’t, even if you always do. What you need are solutions. Whatever your problems with money, you can change—but it’s going to take work. After all, you’re trying to break lifelong patterns. Start with these strategies. Strategy 1 A lot of people set themselves up for failure because t hey have a mindset of either indulgence (放纵) or deprivation (克制). If you try to deprive yourself of too much, where you spend almost nothing, then you end up giving up, and you indulge, and then you overspend. So if you have an unrealistic plan, you’re prob lose control. Good habits happen when planned; bad habits happen on their own. Strategy 2 Changing your mindset is effective in solving the problem. Take Smith-Acuna for example. She says she had a couple in therapy who constantly quarreled about . They would always argue about how what she feels has become a monetary cliché much money they were spending at Starbucks. The wife loved capping off each workday with a drink. Ultimately, the wife ended up quitting her Starbucks habit. Instead of replacing her drink with nothing, she got something else, something free, in return. Strategy 3 ood start if you switch from paying for merchandise and services with a It’s a g easy when you’re using plastic to debit or credit card to paying with cash. It’s mindlessly swipe and fall into a pattern of not thinking or noticing how much you actually spending. You can divide up your money and put it into envelopes, marking down on the envelopes what each pile of money is for. That can make it easier to see where your money is going. Strategy 4 Get a receipt for every purchase. Breaking up your expenses into categories like food, clothing, housing, medical care and so on, but also labeling each expense as a need or a want. Be realistic as to what is really necessary. A need is something where credit. At the you would die or go to jail if you didn’t spend the money or ruin your end of the month, total up all the categories. Do this, and you’ll be more educated about how much money you actually have, and how much you have left over for fun stuff. Strategy 5 There is probably a reason you developed bad habits, which are often adopted on the road easier traveled. So if you’re suddenly balancing your bank accoun day, or you’re regularly putting money into an emergency fund, plan to give yourself some sort of prize for the past two weeks. You’ve been saving money or spending it more wisely, so you can probably afford it.

高三英语课外阅读love is the best legacy

As a young man, A1 was a skilled artist, a potter. He had a wife and two fine sons. One night, his older son developed a severe stomachache. Thinking it was only some common intestinal disorder, neither A1 nor his wife took the condition very seriously. But the malady was actually acute appendicitis and the boy died suddenly that night. Knowing the death could have been prevented if he had only realized the seriousness of the situation, A1‘s emotional health deteriorated under the enormous burden of his guilt. To make matters worse his wife left him a short time later, leaving him alone with his 6-year-old younger son. The hurt and pain of the two situations were more than A1 could handle, and he turned to alcohol to help him cope. In time A1 became an alcoholic. As the alcoholism progressed, A1 began to lose everything he possessed – his home, his land, his art objects, everything. Eventually A1 died alone in a San Francisco motel room. When I heart of A1‘s death, I reacted with the same disdain the world sh ows for one who ends his life with nothing material to show for it. ―What a complete failure!‖ I thought. ―what a totally wasted life!‖ As time went by, I began to re-evaluate my earlier harsh judgment. You see, I knew A1‘s now adult son, Ernie. He is one of the kindest, most caring, most loving men I have ever known. I watched Ernie with his children and saw the free flow of love between them. I knew that kindness and caring had to come from somewhere. I hadn‘t heard Ernie talk much about his father. It is so hard to defend an alcoholic. One day I worked up my courage to ask him. ―I‘m really puzzled by soothing‖, I said. ―I know your father was basically the only one to raise you. What on earth did he do that you became such a special person?‖ Ernie sat qu ietly and reflected for a few moments. Then he said, ―From my earliest memories as a child until I left home at 18, A1 came into my room every night, gave me a kiss and said, ?I love you, son.‘‖ Tears came to my eyes as I realized what a fool I had been to judge A1 as a failure. He had not left any material possession behind. But he had been a kind loving father, and he left one of the finest, most giving men I have ever known. 1. Al's elder son probably died of acute appendicitis due to ________ according to this passage. A. lack of care and nutrition B. the couple's carelessness C. serious stomachache D. too much alcohol 2. What can we know from the second paragraph? A. Given more attention, the boy could be saved. B. Al eventually became an alcoholic without any reason. C. Al's wife was also dead because of her elder son's death. D. The boy's death couldn't be avoided even if he was given more attention. 3. How did the writer evaluate Al's son, Ernie in this passage?

美文阅读 1：生命的旅程
Do not undermine your worth by comparing yourself with others. It is because we are different that each of us is special. Do not set your goals by what other people think important. Only you know what is best for you. Do not take for granted the things closest to your heart. Cling to them as you would your life, for without them, life is meaningless. Do not let your life slip through your fingers by living in the past nor for the future. By living your life one day at a time, you live all of the days of your life. Do not give up when you still have something to give. Nothing is really over until the moment you stop trying. It is a fragile thread that binds us to each other. Do not be afraid to encounter risks. It is by taking chances that we learn how to be brave. Do not shut love out of your life by saying it is impossible to find. The quickest way to receive love is to give love. The fastest way to lose love is to hold it too tightly. In addition, the best way to keep love is to give it wings. Do not dismiss your dreams. To be without dreams is to be without hope. To be without hope is to be without purpose. Do not run through life so fast that you forget not only where you have been, but also where you are going. Life is not a race, but a journey to be savored each step of the way.
人生的旅程不要跟人攀比而妄自菲薄，我们的独特之处正在于与众不同。不要按别人的标准设定目标，只有你自己才明白什么最合适。不要对内心深处的东西漠然视之，对待它们要像性命一样看重，没有它们生活就没有意义。不要沉迷往事或者只在意将来而让生命从指缝间流失。生活要一天天度过，生命的每一天才过充实。只要还能给予就不要轻易放弃。除非你停止努力，一切都没有真正终结。靠着脆弱的联系我们才聚在一起。不怕遭遇风险，正是通过承担风险我们学会了勇敢。不要说爱情难觅而拘之门外，得到爱情的最快是奉献爱。失去爱的最快方法是抓得太紧。守护爱的最佳方式是给它装上翅膀。不要摒弃梦想，没有梦想就没有希望，
没有希望就没有目标。不要匆匆忙忙过生活，忘记了曾经抵达何处，又举步何处。生活不是一场赛跑，而是一次时时驻足观赏的旅行
美文阅读 2 ：永远的朋友
"A friend walks in when the rest of the world walks out." A Forever Friend Sometimes in life, you find a special friend: someone who changes your life just by being part of it; someone who makes you laugh until you can't stop; someone who makes you believe that there really is good in the world; someone who convinces you that there really is an unlocked door just waiting for you to open it. This is forever friendship. When you're down, and the world seems dark and empty, your forever friend lifts you up in spirits and makes that dark and empty world suddenly seem bright and full. Your forever friend gets you through the hard times, the sad times, and the confused times. If you turn and walk away, your forever friend follows. If you lose your way, your forever friend guides you and cheers you on. Your forever friend holds your hand and tells you that everything is going to be okay. And if you find such a friend, you feel happy and complete. Because you need not worry, you have a forever friend for life, and forever has no end.
“别人都走开的时候，朋友仍与你在一起。” 永远的朋友有时候在生活中，你会找到一个特别的朋友：他只是你生活中的一部分内容，却能改变你整个的生活；他会把你逗得开怀大笑；他会让你相信人间有真情；他会让你确信，真的有一扇不加锁的门，在等待着你去开启。这就是永远的友谊。当你失意，当世界变得黯淡与空虚，你真正的朋友会让你振作起来，原本黯淡、空虚的世界顿时变得明亮和充实。你真正的朋友会与你一同度过困难、伤心和烦恼的时刻。你转身走开时，真正的朋友会紧紧相随。你迷失方向时，真正的朋友会引导你、鼓励你。真正的朋友会握着你的手，告诉你一切都会好起来的。如果你找到了这样的朋友，你会快乐，觉得人生完整。因为你无需再忧虑。你拥有了一个真正的朋友，永永远远，永无止境。

江苏高中英语任务型阅读二-5篇(附答案)

江苏高中英语任务型阅读5篇一．Ⅲ.任务型阅读 (2014·淮安调研)You say you want to be alone? Think again. Researchers have found that older people with fewer human contacts are more likely to die — even if they're happy in their isolation (孤立状态) — than people with richer social lives. The study adds to the debate over whether loneliness, social isolation, or some combination of the two leads to higher death rate. Social isolation is an objective condition in which people have little communication with others. Loneliness, on the other hand, is an emotional state felt by people who are dissatisfied with their social connections. To find out the effects of being alone versus (比对) just feeling lonely, Steptoe of University College London and his colleagues examined data from 6,500 Britons aged 50 and up who had filled out questionnaires evaluating their levels of loneliness. The most socially isolated subjects had a 26% greater risk of dying, even when sex, age, and other factors linked to survival were taken into account, the researchers report online today. They then made changes about their model to determine whether the connection to death was due to the fact that isolated people are often lonely. It wasn't. The researchers then explored the connection between loneliness itself and death. Intense loneliness also appeared to raise the risk of death by 26% —until the team took into account a host of other factors linked to survival, including wealth, education, and the presence of health problems. Once their impact had been explained, the scientists discovered that loneliness on its own didn't make people more vulnerable (脆弱的) to death. The researchers suspect that older people who have few social ties may not be getting the care they need. No one is urging them to eat right or take their medicine, and in a crisis no one is there to help. Other researchers praise the new work as rigorous (严密的) and well-controlled. But they say it's far from clear that social isolation, not loneliness, is always the real cause of increased death rate. Other studies, including an analysis of older Americans led by John Cacioppo, a psychology professor at the University of Chicago in Illinois, have shown a link between loneliness and a higher death rate. Cacioppo suspects that the disagreement between his study and the new research could lie with cultural differences between Steptoe's British subjects and Americans, and that Britons and Americans may define friends differently, too. Health psychologist Bert Uchino of the University of Utah praises the new study, but he says that researchers are still far from understanding how those two factors affect one another and other health-related behaviors.
