2021南京中考任务型阅读专题训练（精选）A（2020南京中考）Cars powered by gasoline were sold for many years before hybrid vehicles that use gasoline, electricity, and solar energy, Car companies are now making cars that are fully powered by electricity only. How do these electric cars measure up to (符合标准) traditional gasoline cars?Electric and gasoline vehicles look similar on the outside. They have very different parts under their hoods. though. Electric cars have one main moving part: the motor. But gas cars literally have hundreds of parts, often requiring frequent maintenance (保养) Having fewer parts makes the electric car cheaper to maintain and less likely to have mechanical problems.Electric vehicles are energy efficient, also making them cheaper to operate. It costs about $1.00 to travel 43 miles in an electric car, which is a clear contrast to a gas car, which costs about $1.25 to go 18 miles. Basically, an electric car can go twice as far as a gas car for the same price.Electric vehicles do not have tailpipe emissions, making them more friendly to the environment, too.While some details make electric cars seem attractive, other details aren’t as favorable. For example, some electric cars can travel only 60 to 120 miles on a full charge (充电) . Most gas cars can drive hundreds of miles on a full tank.An electric car has to stop more often to get recharged. Therefore, a gas car would be a better option (选择) if you have far to drive. And electric cars aren’t as convenient (方便的) to power up as gas cars are. There are plenty of gas stations, but not many charging stations for electric cars. Then, once an electric car reaches a charging station, it can take up to six hours to charge.There are certainly benefits to both electric cars and gasoline cars.

She’s best known for the role of Eleven in the science fiction drama Stranger Things. In that show, she plays a girl who escapes from a laboratory that was doing experiments on her. She comes out from the lab near a small town in the central United States. Strange events have been taking place there. Millie’s performance in Stranger Things is thought highly of. The role was especially challenging because it required her to show intense emotion (激情) without speakingmuch. According to the show’s creators, child actors often find it hard to stay incharacter when their characters aren’t speaking. Millie didn’t have that problem, though.Although she speaks with an American accent (口音) on Stranger Things, Millieis actually English. However, she was born in Spain and has also lived in the U.S. and Canada. Her parents have supported her dreams of acting, even moving the family to Los Angeles, California, to give her more chances to act.In 2013, the year after the family moved to Los Angeles, Millie made her first appearance in public as Alice in the TV drama Once Upon a Time in Wonderland. Shortly after that she played the lead role in the show Intruders.Things haven’t always gone smoothly for Millie, however. At one point, she struggled to get roles, and it was difficult for her family to support her acting dream. They finally moved back to England. But just then Millie was worrying that she would never become a professional ( 职业的) actor. She got the role in Stranger Things. It began to air in 2016.Since then, Millie has continued acting, appearing in the movie Godzilla: King of the Monsters. She also produced and starred in Enola Holmes, a Netflix movie about the teenage sister of detective Sherlock Holmes.

Dohn Community High School recently began rewarding students who had perfect attendance and good behavior with cold, hard cash. At the end of each week, seniors who have shown up on time all five days and stayed out of trouble receive $25, while younger students who have done the same receive $10.People who support the program and others who like it say the rewards motivate (激发)many kids to come to class when they would otherwise stay at home. Those who oppose (反对) such programs say that paying kids sends the wrong message. They say students should come to class because they want to learn, not because they want to earn money.Students’ reporters Joseph Maneen and Peter Brosnan hold different opinions.YES.I believe granting money to high school students for attendance is a good idea. Teens can use that money to help themselves later on in life, whether for college, an apartment, or a rainy day.Studies have shown that rewards can motivate students to go to school and that the more kids are in school, the more they learn. Chloe Hughes, a 15-year-old high school student from Bradford, Mass agrees. “The money at the end of the week encourages students to try hard in school and get better grades.” she says. “By making money at school, there is no need to get a separate job, sothey can focus on their studies.” Receiving the money will make many teens want to come to school, rather than be on the street getting into trouble.NO.Think about what motivates you to go to school every day. Your list might include learning new information or spending time with your friends. Should getting paid be included on that list? Of course not!Learning to be self-motivated is an important life skill. “Students should want to come to school and want to learn, not to make money.” Leigh Kouril, an eighth grader from N.Y. explains. “Students should realize that doing well in school now could help them to earn a good living in the future.”In addition, students may be unlikely to pay attention in class if they are being paid just to attend.Finally, paying students to attend class sends the wrong message. Students may think that basic tasks deserve tangible (有形的) rewards. Intangible rewards, such as gaining self-confidence, are worth much more than money. Anna Kouril, another eighth grader from Yorktown Heights, says, “What students put into their education is what they will get out of it.”任务型阅读答案A 56; same 57 Differences 58 cost(s) 59 possibility/possibilities 60 Compared61 friendly 62 takes 63 longer 64 convenient 65choiceB 1 but 2 finish 3 balance 4 enough 5 stop/prevent6 match7 liked/loved8 risk/possibility9 fail 10 solvedC 56 how 57 though/praised 58 staying 59 provided 60 moved61 Acting 62 appearance 63 known 64 producer 65 needD 81.suggestions; 82.loss;83. pride;84.
