大连市中考英语英语任务型阅读理解专题练习(及答案)一、英语任务型阅读1．根据材料内容，从A—G七个选项中选择五个还原到文中空白处，使材料完整、通顺。

My challenge for you is this: to read a book for 15 minutes a day. Let me explain where the challenge came from.I have many things in common with my dad, like music taste and sense of humor, but sadly reading isn't one of them. I can happily spend a whole day reading a book. ________ He reads e-mails, websites and papers for work, but not books. He is a busy person, with a short attention span, so I think that sitting down to read for just 15 minutes a day is a good way to introduce him to reading. Giving yourself a goal or challenge is a good way to change a habit or achieve something, so why not try to develop a new habit of reading?________ Everyone is different and has their own interests, but I think there are lots of benefits of reading, which screen-based activities (games, films,TV) don't have.________ Looking at screens can cause tire eyes, and you should avoid looking at screens for a long time.Another thing I love about reading is being transported to another world. ________ So you go to bed. Because you think more about the world of the book, rather than the real world and the problems you have during the day, so you can truly relax.I also love people. I enjoy hearing what people are doing and finding out what people think.________ It also teaches me to see things from other people's point of view, and understand other people's decisions or opinions.So give it a try! Include 15 minutes of reading in your daily schedule and see the difference you can make.A. Firstly, it's better for your eyes.B. But my dad can't read a book for longer than 5 minutes.C. I often forget the time or things that are going on around me.D. Reading ten thousand books is like travelling ten thousand miles.E. Reading gives me the chance to get to know hundreds of new people.F. You can download free e-books online and read them on your computer.G. I know lots of people would rather relax at the computer or in front of the TV.【答案】 B；G；A；D；E【解析】【分析】所给选项意思：A. Firstly, it's better for your eyes.首先，它对你的眼睛是更好。
