高一英语任务型阅读一Beggars are often seen sitting by the side of a street with heads bowed as people pass them by. Some ask people passing by for a small amount of money and some just sit and wait to be given money. A few use aggressive behaviour to earn money。

To solve the problem of aggressive begging, an “alternative giving " plan has been suggested. Ten blue money boxes will be placed in busy places such as the market and the railway station。

It aims to encourage people not to give money directly to beggars but instead to give generously to local homeless causes。

Supporters of this plan think it will be an effective way to solve the beggars’ alcohol and drug problems。

Ants: master cooperatorsMillions of ants live together in a colony, but they don't compete, get confused, or become disorganized. They behave in an amazing orderly manner at all times. Some scientists refer to ants as 'super-organisms' because they live in such highly organized societies that work together to survive. The way ants live and work together has made them one of the most important creatures on the planet.Ants, like bees, belong to a class of eusocial insects. Eusocial insects are broken into groups within their community, and each group has a special job to do depending on the needs of the community. There are three basic groups in an ant colony: queens, soldiers, and workers. Queens are the largest ants, and their only job is to reproduce—they lay all of the eggs that will eventually become soldiers and workers. Soldiers are responsible for protecting the colony and finding new places for nests. Worker ants have many jobs within the community, including caring for the eggs and young ants, hunting for food and maintaining the nest.Some scientists are studying how ants can lead to a better understanding of labor issues, social class, and the use of nature resources in human communities. Ants have had millions of years of practice in working together to survive and grow. For a colony to function successfully, ants have to cooperate, from which people can learn a lot. Researchers hope that gathering information about how ants live together in communities can help people learn to cooperate and compromise with each other.However, others argue that there are fundamental differences between ants and humans that mean human societies are unlikely ever to attain ant-like levels of collaboration. For example, ants in a colony don't compete with each other. When they are short of food in the colony, some worker ants automatically become 'feeder' ants and feed others with the food in their stomach, regardless of their usual job. When the food supply is replenished, they become worker ants again.In addition, ants are able to work together without a leader giving them directions. Despite their names, queen ants are not leaders. Instead, ants find out what they need to do from their sense of smell. Research on harvester ants pass each other, they pick up a chemical smell which tells them what the other ant is doing. The number of ants they pass doing a particular job determines what they need to do. It is a form of communication, but unlike human communication it has no content; it is just based on numbers.While ants undoubtedly have a great deal to teach us about organization and the structure of networks, those searching for a greater understanding of human behaviour and morals may need to look somewhere.They live together in colony without competitions, ________ or being disorganizedThe way they work together for ________ living in highly organized societies makes them unique on the planet.Three groups, including queens, soldiers and workers in an ant colony have a special job, ________ the needs of the community ________ of studying ants.It helps people understand labor issues, social class, and the use of natural resources better Ants are ________ in working together to survive and grow, helping people run the communities smoothlyIt helps people learn to cooperate and ________ with each otherDifferences between ants and humansFor ________ of food some worker ants automatically become "feeder ants ________ ants, humans have leaders giving people directionsSuggestionResearchers should have different ________ in understanding human behaviour and morals.【答案】features/characteristics；confusion；survival；determining；Significance/Importance/Meaning/Benefits；experienced；compromise；shortage/lack；Unlike；angles【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，通过对蚂蚁的研究了解了它们的特点以及与人类之间的关系。

高一〔-〕下学期期末专项训练任务型阅读10篇(一〕第一篇Educating girls quite possibly harvests a higher rate of return than any other investment in the developing world. Women's education may be an unusual economical field, but increasing women's contribution to development is actually as much an economic as a social issue. And economics, with its focus on encouragement, provides an explanation for why so many girls are rid of an education.Parents in low-income countries fail to invest in their daughters because they do not expect them to make an economic contribution to the family: girls grow up only to marry into somebody else's family and bear children. Girls are thus seen as less valuable than boys and are kept at home to do housework while their brothers are sent to school -- the prophecy (观念) becomes self-fulfilling, trapping women in a vicious (恶性的) circle of neglect.An educated mother, on the other hand, has greater earning abilities outside the home and faces an entirely different set of choices. She is likely to have fewer but healthier children and can insist on the development of all her children, ensuring that her daughters are given a fair chance. The education of her daughters then makes it much more likely that the next generation of girls, as well as of boys, will be educated and healthy. The vicious circle is thus transformed into a virtuous circle.Few will argue that educating women has great social benefits. But it has great economic advantages as well. Most obviously, there is the direct effect of education on the wages of female workers. Wages rise by 10 to 20 per cent for each additional year of schooling. Such big returns are impressive by the standard of other available investments, but they are just the beginning. Educating women also has a significant effect on health practices, including family planning.1. education2. being3. value4. little/ no5. while6. doing7. fairly/ equally8. leads/ contributes9. economic 10. Conclusion第二篇How to be a good listenerEveryone loves a good listener. But there are more reasons to develop the skill of listening than to win hearts or popularity contests.Listening heals hurts and builds bridges. It gives us the ability to understand and empathize, to view the world from our own point. It can bring us wisdom over and above mere intelligence. But most importantly, it allows us to give the people around us the gifts they crave (渴望) most—a sense of worth.As it turns out, there’s more to good listening than just keepi ng quiet and allowing someone to speak. Effective listening is actually a combination of two key communication skills: listening and verifying (确认).Even when we’ve managed to hear a person’s entire message, we often interpret it wrong—according to our own understanding, experience, or prejudice.As an effective listener, your goal is to hear and absorb what another has to say……in exactly the way they mean it to be understood. Only then can you respond properly.This is much easier read than done, so here are a few helpful tips:1.Give the speaker your full attention.Stop talking and remove all distractions. Turn off the TV, your phone, or computer. Watch your body language. The way you look at the speaker, or the way you stand or sit, makes a huge difference. The right listening body language communicates that we are listening openly and attentively, and puts the other person at ease.2.Be patient.Not everyone is a gifted speaker. Some people take longer to find the right word to make a point. Others are too worried to get their message across properly. If necessary, ask the speaker to explain further. It will help him / her speak more exactly and it will help you hear and understand better.3.Keep your emotions in check.If what someone is saying creates an emotional response in you, make an extra effort to listen carefully. When we’re angry, frightened or upset, we often miss key parts of what is being said.4.Hold your fire.Don’t jump to conclusions immediately. A good listener doesn’t react until comprehension is complete. If you respond in a way that makes the other person defensive, even if you “win〞 the argument, you may lose something far more valuable.5.Even if you think you understand. VERIFY.Never assume you got the message right. Pause, think about what was said, and then ask “Is this what you meant?〞or “Am I understanding this right?〞6.EmpathizeTake a moment to stand in the other person’s shoes, to look at the situation from his / her point of view……especially when you’re being told somethi ng personal or painful, or something you strongly disagree with. The more shoes you are ableto successfully stand in within your life time, the less puzzled you’ll find your life and relationships to be.(1)_____________ of good listening ●2)__________ hurts.●Building 3)___________.●Allowing us to (4)___________ and empathize,and viewing the world in an all-round way.●Bringing us wisdom over and above mereintelligence.●(5)_________ the people around us feel worthy.Components of effective listening ●Good listening consists of two key communication skills: (6)__________ and verifying.(7)__________ to be a good listener ●Listening to the speaker (8)___________.●Trying to be a ____9_______ listener.●Avoiding being affected by your emotions.●Waiting before you take (10)_________.●Verifying.●Empathizing5.Making6.listening7.

If not, try even one of these tips.Make Your Mama ProudWhat special talents do you have? Maybe this is the right time to show it to her. She would be very proud and surprised if she'd realized that you have something that she doesn't expect.What's Her Favorite?Most teens don't know what their mama's favorite. You do? Then, what are you waiting for ? Buy her some of her favorite stuff and put a little twist on it. Make it more special.The best time to give her that is while she is sleeping at night. Put it on the drawer next to her so that when she wakes up she'll be surprised to see it. And, maybe, a little tear may fall down from her cheeks.The MemoriesOur mothers have special memories in mind. Those are the times that they gave birth to their healthy baby. How about you? What's your best moment with her? Maybe you can tell her about the time she got mad at you because you did something that you thought is right but since that day forward you realized your mistakes. Or, you can tell her how happy you are when she was there during your painful days in your life.Be HerWhat does she look like if she is so exhausted and angry and tired? What does she do for your family? This is the right time to show her the things that she usually does at home. Try to imitate her voice when she is angry. Make your face as if you are her when she is mad.Treat a QueenYour house is a palace with a king and queen (it doesn't matter if you're rich or poor). Our mother is the real queen in our life and in our family though her duties make her look like she is not. Give the lady a day off by being a servant to her.Make-Over BeautyBecause of stress and the problems that she is facing right now, especially in the family, she doesn't look great any more. Admit it! Most mothers are not into trends anymore because their focusing on us.Perhaps you could take some of your savings to treat her in a salon or the department store. Then, choose nice clothes that would make her look GLAMOROUS!Have Some of Your TimeIt's the cheapest but a meaningful way. Most of us are busy from our work, friends, boy/girl friends, school. We stay home late and after several hours, we go out again.Have you ever had a meaningful time with your mother where you don't think or talk about problems and arguments? Have you ever told her how much you thank her from the life she gave to you, the time she took care of you, and for every suffering she'd felt for you? Have you ever told her that you love her?Life is short. We don't know what will happen tomorrow nor today. Those three words can make her heart jump for joy, you know? Just tell her “I love you!〞 and1. how2. Remind3. beautiful4. pride5. surprise6. tears7. moment/time8. took9. from 10. arguments第四篇It is an all too familiar story. A natural disaster strikes in a remote part of the world, causing destruction and suffering. Villages are flattened and people are forced into camps. It is now happening in China, after the earthquake of magnitude 〔里氏〕8 that was centered on Wenchuan but shook the entire country.Actually, in the past centuries, there were hundreds of thousands of earthquakes in different parts of the world. In Sept. 1923, Tokyo and Yokohama were both destroyed by an earthquake and the fires that followed it. They had to be completely rebuilt. One of the most serious earthquakes was in China’s Shanxi Province in 1556. It claimed almost one million people.We measure an earthquake’s strength on the Richter scale. The Richter scale was introduced in 1935 in Southern California in the USA. It measures earthquakes on a scale of one to ten. Any earthquake measuring five or more is usually serious.The earth’s crust (地壳) is made up of layers of rock called plates. As these plates move, they sometimes crash against each other, causing the crust to quake. In cities such as Tokyo, where small quakes happen quite often, many modern buildings are designed to be flexible so when the earth moves, they move with it.Earthquakes can also break up gas or oil pipes. This can cause fires to break out, which can do as much damage as the earthquake itself.Another effect of the earthquakes is tsunamis (海啸). These are huge waves created by earthquakes beneath the sea. They can be many meters high and cause great damage to costal towns and cities.China, Japan, Russia and the USA have the highest occurrence of earthquakes in the world.6 .measures 7.cause 8 .form 9.effects results 10 .fires第五篇Anger is natural reaction which comes out when we feel that we have not been given a fair treatment. Anger is a natural reaction which comes out when we feel that we have not been given a fair treatment. The positive side of this negative emotion is that it has helped us to evolve as humans and cope in a better manner with our surroundings. However, it tends to become a problem when we fail to control it. Many a time it happens that your anger has hurt others or has spoiled one of your relationships for which you regret later. It has some bad effects on the health, too.We should control anger so that it does not cause harm to us or to those around us whom we love. One of the best ways to control anger is to get help from others. If you feel that you are unable to manage your anger, it can make you more upset. So tell someone that is close to you, a friend or a family member, about your problem. When you discuss a matter with others, there is a better chance of finding a solution to your problem. Besides, there are no better stress relievers than humor. When you feel that it is because of stress that your anger is becoming unmanageable, you can use humor. It can help you look at difficult things in a lighter way and you will feel better about the things around you.Anger tends to make us have a lot of negative thoughts. Therefore, we have to change the negative thoughts into positive ones. For this you have to first refuseall the negative thoughts that are in your mind one by one. This can be done with a lot of practice. Once you are successful in that, you have to maintain your focus only on the positive things of life.Meditation(冥想) is an excellent anger management technique. In addition, what we do is disconnect ourselves from the outer world and focus all our attention into the inner world. This helps us develop a sense of controlling our thoughts that tend1. unfairly2.

It began in 1970 as a small, unimportant race. Only 127 local people ran, and just 55 of them finished. They ran around Central Park four times. Few people watched them run. However, over the years the marathon grew and became more popular.Today people come from all over the world to run in the marathon. Runners must be at least 18 years old. In fact, the oldest runner was an 89-year-old man. Recently, more than 27,000 people ran in the New York City Marathon. Large crowds cheered the runners and offered them cold drinks and encouragement.The course of the marathon has changed. Instead of running around Central Park, the runners go through the five districts of New York City: Queens, Brooklyn, Manhattan, the Bronx ,and Staten Island. The marathon begins at the base of the Verrazano Narrows Bridge in Staten Island. The runners go across the bridge into Brooklyn. Then they go up through Queens and into the Bronx. The marathon finishes in Central Park in Manhattan. The complete course is 26.2 miles, and takes the best runners less than 3 hours.Although it has changed since 1970, the New York City Marathon is always exciting.Through the years, many unusual events have happened during the marathon. For example, Pat Tuz and John Weibaker got married a few minutes before the race. Then they ran the race with their party members. Some people run the whole race alone.In the fall of 1992, Fred Lebow, the founder of the New York City Marathon, slowly ran his last race. He was very ill with cancer, but he did not want to stop running. In October 1994, Fred died. However, the New York City Marathon, and all its1.

Though they lack the ability to talk, they manage to express a lot through the display of various kinds of behavior. Here are some types of behavior that a dog displays, and there is certainly something that it is trying to convey through it.Wagging(摇摆) of the tail is the most common behavior or gesture displayed by a dog and it means that it’s extremely happy or pleased. Pet dogs usually display such a behavior when they see you after a long time span and also when they spot their favorite treat or food item.Digging, too, is a very common behavior in dogs. Dogs usually dig to hide some of their favorite things which they would like to hunt for later. They do this just for a little adventure or when they are extremely playful. Another reason they might be digging is to release some of their energy that has been built up.Dogs sniff due to their strong sense of smell and their curiosity. They do thismainly to gain the smell of other humans and dogs which helps recognize them during the next meeting.Barking is probably the most natural and normal behavior displayed by dogs. Dogs bark to threaten a strange one entering the house, or to communicate the arrival of a strange man or somebody they are familiar and also to communicate with other dogs.Dogs mostly whine (发呜呜声) when they are ill or in pain or to attract attention when they are feeling extremely lovesick and are in desperate need of some pampering (娇宠). They may also whine when they are fearful of someone or something or to display their displeasure towards something.Jumping is more common in puppies than in dogs and it is a way of displaying affection and excitement for them. It might get troublesome when they jump too frequently which may be to attract attention.Make use of the information above to train your dog appropriately and help it1.

Though the fact that married women work outside the homes has become a social trend, many people still expect mothers to stay home until their children are two or three years old. In my opinion, it’s unfair to deprive(剥夺) mothers of their right to keep working only for thereason of childcare.Women also need a sense of achievement just like men. Working women often find it difficult to give up the chance of self-fulfillment(自我实现) and go back home to play the traditional role. The times that women should stay at home passed and we should not neglect(无视) mother’s desire to seek further goals outside the home. Besides, taking care of children is both parent s’ responsibility rather than only mothers’. Children belong to both the father and the mother. So it is unreasonable to ask mothers to give up their jobs for childcare because it is also fathers’ duty.Practically speaking, working mothers can help improve family finances. Though there’ll be extra expense for childcare service, working mothers have a steady income to help the family. Therefore, mothers’ working outside is good for the family, especially to those low-income ones.In a word, to expect mothers to put childcare before everything is not practical in today’s society. Only if fathers and mothers cooperate can the problem of childcare be solved.1. Working2. children3. stay4. opinion5.keep6. achievement7. duty/responsibility8. support9.

There are many differences between cultures and although some of these differences are unimportant, some can cause a lot of embarrassment. In addition to the obvious language problems of living in a foreign country, I certainly experienced culture shock when I was living in Paris. I know I’m not the only one so I spoke to a few foreign friends about how they experienced culture shock in China.Aubin arrived two months ago from Europe to take part in a language programme in Shanghai. Before he left, he was actually taught the differences between European and Chinese Cultures, including everything from table manners to classroom behavior. However, some things have still taken him by surpris e. For example, he couldn’t understand why waiters did not want to accept the tips he gave them after meals in restaurants. He said that in Europe waiters got angry if you didn’t leave them atip! I had to explain to him that people don’t usually tip in Ch ina and that this comes from the Confucian idea that one must avoid accepting any undue income.Another friend, Julia, came to Guangzhou from London to teach at a language school. After a month, she told me that she was really let down by her students. I asked her why and she told me that they were so quiet that she was the only person talking in class and it felt like the children were being respectful but she said it would be more respectful if they answered her questions. I think we should be proud of the Chinese tradition that stresses politeness but I do think Julia has a good point. And it is not only the West and the East that have cultural differences. Even Korea and China, two countries that are very close to each other, have differences too. “I thought Chinese and Korean people were the same,〞 said my friend Ji-Hyun in perfect Chinese, “but I was wrong . In ancient times the Chinese used to take their shoes off. They don’t do that any more, but Korean people still do! I keep getting that wrong even though I’ve been here for five years!〞Luckily, whether we take our shoes off or not, or leave unnecessary tips, the world still runs perfectly. In my opinion, cultural differences should simply be seen as a way of making life interesting. Imagine how boring it would be if we all did everything exactly the same way! Learning to understand and respect differences第十篇For centuries people dreamed of going into space．This dream began to seem possible when high-flying rockets were built in the early 1900s.In 1903 a Russian teacher named Konstantin Tsiolkovsky figured out how to use rockets for space travel．His plan was the first one in rocket science to use correct scientific calculation．About 30 years later, a U.S．scientist named Robert Goddard built the first rockets that could reach high altitudes．During World War II, German scientists built large rockets that could travel very far and carry dangerousexplosives．After the war, scientists from Germany went to the United States and the Soviet Union to help those countries build space rockets.These two countries were soon racing to get to space first．Each of these countries wanted to prove that it was stronger and more advanced than the other one．Both countries also had powerful bombs．People in the United States were worried when the Soviets were first to launch a space satellite, which was called Sputnik．The Soviets were also first to send a person into space．Yury Gagarin orbited the earth in the Vostok I spaceship in 1961.The US government set a goal for its space program to be the first country to put a person on the Moon．The U.S．space program built a series of Apollo spaceship．These vehicles were powered by huge Saturn 5 rockets．In 1969 Apollo II took three men to the moon successfully．Nell Armstrong became the first person to walk on the Moon.The Soviets may have lost the race to fly people to the Moon, but they built the first space station in 1971．The United States also built a space station．The space stations allowed people to live and work in space．Then the Soviet Union and the United States cooperated to hook two spaceships together in space．This action ended the "space race"．Today a much larger space station, built by several countries together, orbits Earth.Another new way to go to space is by space shuttle．A space shuttle, first made in the United States in 1981, looks like an airplane．Astronauts who fly spaceships1. true2. figured3. 19334. high5. helped6. winner7. successful 8. beat / defeated 9. cooperation / cooperating 10. travel。

All examinations they want to pass require them to pass English.Examinations for entering further education, studying abroad and even graduating from college require scores in English examinations.English has become the most popular course in tutorial classes and even in the self-study classroom・When nearly all students' attention is focused on English, looking at the situation of our mother language, even Chinese linguists （语言学家）get confused about its use.Not only have many new words and phrases which are very popular on the Internet started to fill in every corner of the society, but common use of Chinese is full of mistakes and misunderstandings.Under such urgent situation for the Chinese language, it" s time for every Chinese person to start protecting our mother tongue・Chinese has the most speakers of any world language and also is one of the oldest in history.Around the world, many countries have started learning Chinese and Chinese has become one of the most important foreign languages in some foreign countries.Besides，there are 282 Confucius institutions around 88 countries and regions in the world that are teaching Chinese.The number of people learning Chinese is about 50 million outside China.For those foreigners that are so crazy about Chinese language, what kind of attitude should the Chinese have?

译林版必修第二册unit2阅读拓展练习1Ⅰ.阅读理解ADear students，Most of us get some exercise walking or riding our bikes to school，but that just isn’t enough.Why not get into shape by playing the most popular sport in the world—soccer？Two weeks ago，Ms Goldstein，the physical education teacher，posted a notice about an exciting new soccer club (for Grades 3­5)．To join，all you have to do is sign your name and be at school for the fun of it on Saturday mornings.You’ll make new friends and share information about famous teams and players.Ms Goldstein will teach，so you’ll learn basic skills and new techniques(技巧) to improve your game.That’s good news because soccer is a game you can love three seasons a year.The only time you can’t play is when there is snow.However，it is hard to believe that only nineteen people signed up for the new club.Maybe kids don’t want to give up their Saturday mornings.But if you think about how we spend Saturday mornings now，soccer looks good.Doing housework and watching TV are not as much fun as playing soccer with friends.If you didn’t sign up because you’ve never played soccer before，don’t worry.Beginners are welcome and Ms Goldstein will give you more help.Just act now! The equipment is cheap.All you have to bring is your feet.The Students’ Union 1．We can learn from the text that the club .A．was first set up for beginnersB．is just open to students of Grade 3C．was probably started two weeks agoD．is available every day except for Sundays2．What does the author think of playing soccer?A．It makes people famous easily.B．It does students a lot of good.C．It is a very dangerous game.D．It is as interesting as watching TV.3．The author writes the text mainly to .A．talk about how to be an excellent playerB．encourage the students to join a soccer clubC．advise the students to take more exerciseD．introduce Ms Goldstein to the students答案CBBBThat most Americans are falling short of the recommended eight hours of sleep per night is nothing new.Over time，staying awake in the night can come with a high cost.You should stop your night owl(夜猫子) habit.Compared with people who turn in early，those who go to bed very late are more likely to suffer from repeated negative thoughts.The findings suggest that sleep disruption(扰乱) could actually be linked to the development of negative thoughts.Psychologists suggest that focusing on good sleep habits can help.Have you been getting into a lot of arguments lately? There’s one easy way to fix that.Too little sleep tends to leave people feeling bad­tempered and stressed.It means that little things that might not normally be a big deal can cause you to fly off the handle.The result is more misunderstandings with those around you.Being well rested，on the other hand，will help you control your temper and you’ll get along better with others.According to AAA Foundation reports，people who sleep six to seven hours are twice as likely to have a car accident as those who sleep for eight hours or more when driving.People who sleep for five hours or less increase their risk up to fivefold.Go for 24 hours without sleeping，and your skills behind the wheel are the same as someone who is drunk.Research suggests that the less sleep you get，the more likely you are to be overweight.How so? When you lack sleep，you have less energy to exercise or make healthy food choices.Plus，studies show that the later you stay up，the more you eat.Night owls who stay up until 4 a．m.eat about 550 more calories than early birds who go to sleep at 10 p．m.4．According to Paragraph 2，not getting enough sleep can .A．affect your living habitsB．make you become pessimisticC．make you suffer from diseasesD．make you lose interest in everything5．What does the underlined part “fly off the handle” in Paragraph 3 mean?A．Fly away.B．Get very angry.C．Become very busy.D．Become disappointed.6．According to the last two paragraphs，people who lack sleep .A．care less about their safetyB．are more likely to get drunkC．cook at home much more frequentlyD．may find it hard to keep a healthy weight7．What is the text mainly about?A．The harm of staying up late.B．Some reasons for a lack of sleep.C．The importance of eating healthily.D．The process of forming a good habit.答案BBDACI like music.I think maybe most people like it as much as I do.I believe other people would have the same feeling towards music.For me，music can always make me feel happy and relaxed.Sometimes when I feel very depressed，or suffer setbacks，music can work its magic which helps me go through unpleasant mood.Music makes me feel quiet and peaceful.Furthermore，it has the power to revive my spirit.So I can imagine if there’s no music in the world，how boring and colourless our world might be.There are so many different styles of music，such as pop，classic，rock，heavy metal and so on.Maybe everyone has different tastes and likes different styles.Even though music gives us different effects in different conditions，one thing can be ensured for us that music can help us release the pressure when we feel nervous.And it can depurate(净化) our heart.When we feel happy，we can listen to some music which makes us happier；if we feel sad and frustrated，we can choose the music which gives us power and makes us refreshed.If we are introverted people，we can listen to the music which makes us more outgoing.Above all，I’ve stated so many effects of music.We have so many beautiful melodies in the world which could make our life more and more pleasant.So I think we should thank the people who create music，who use rhythms to express various feelings and things as we use articles and languages to express our thinking.So nice！They create the great music，while music makes our world even better.I love music forever!8．Which of the following is not the reason for the author’s love for music?A．Music can always make the author feel happy and relaxed.B．Music helps the author go through unpleasant mood.C．Music gives the author great imagination.D．Music makes the author feel quiet and peaceful.9．What can be ensured for us about different types of music?A．Everyone has the same taste and likes the same style.B．Music gives us a similar effect in many conditions.C．Music can help us to reduce our pressure.D．Music can sometimes hurt our heart.10．What’s the meaning of the underlined word “introverted” in the second paragraph? A．Depressed. B．Delighted.C．Confused. D．Quiet and shy.11．What does the passage mainly talk about?A．Music can help us to be healthy.B．We can’t live without music.C．There are many kinds of music in the world.D．Music makes our life pleasant.答案CCDDⅡ.七选五Every day can be a fresh，new beginning—this is very important if you had a difficult day before.By starting with a positive attitude，you can face the challenges of the day in a good state of mind. 1Exercise.Exercising is one of the best methods to start your day for your mind as well as the body. 2 In addition，it also reduces stress and improves your metabolism(新陈代谢)．So go for a walk，go for a bike ride，or go to the gym in the morning.Organize yourself. 3 Make a to­do list and make an effort to follow it.It will keep you organized and make your day easier.However，make sure that your to­do list is manageable.There are only so many things you can do in a day.Smile.Starting your day by acting the way you want to feel can help you be more positive.4 The easiest thing to do is smile.Just smile because you are alive and you can.Watch or listen to something humorous so you can laugh.It makes you feel positive and really good about yourself and the world that surrounds you.Keep important items in the same place.To make mornings less busy，start a habit—keeping your important items in one easily accessible place. 5 This way，you are never looking for that lost item when you are running behind.A．Write down the tasks for the day.B．Try other actions to get yourself to feel happier.C．Try some of the following tips to start your day right.D．Put your keys，wallet，purse，and other important items there.E．Instead of rushing through the morning，go slow and take your time.F．It increases brain function，which can help you get a jump­start on the day.

高一英语任务型阅读试题答案及解析1.阅读下列短文，根据所读的内容在文章后的表格中填入恰当的单词。

注意表格中的每个空格只填1个单词。

注意：每个空格只填1个单词Although most of us have been learning English for more than three years or even more, we still doubt whether every one of us has already known how to learn English well.Some students still think that learning English is just to remember new words, phrases, grammar rules and some sentence structures. It seems if we do so, we can have a good knowledge of English. We must make sure that things are not always what they seem to be. Now imagine how we learn our mother tongue well. We learn it well by communicating with the people around us all day long. So we think it’s not difficult for us to learn our mother tongue. Why do we think it is hard to learn English well? We all know that learning English usually takes place in schools and there are few opportunities to communicate with other speakers of the language. As a result, some think that learning English is slow and much difficult. It’s because we spend less time learning and practicing it than doing our mother tongue.The following may help us in some way.We should gain confidence and we must be brave enough to speak English before others. Don’t be afraid of losing our faces while talking with others in English.We must make a long and careful study plan. Once we do it, we must take pains to continue learning English every day.Think about what we have done and decide to study English harder than ever.Finally we should take every opportunity to practice speaking English as often as possible.

上海牛津高一英语专项练习（阅读）Reading ComprehensionPassage OneMany people hurt their backs when they try to lift heavy things from the floor. It is easy to hurt your back muscles when you pick up a heavy object. However, there is a correct way to lift things from the floor if you pick up or lift heavy objects correctly, you probably will not hurt your back.To lift something from the floor correctly, first bend your knees and squat down. Keep your back straight. Do not bend over from your waist; keep your back and hips and waist in a line. If you bend over, the muscles in your lower back can become wounded very easily. If you keep your back and hips stronger, they have much more support. The other muscles can then help the lower back muscles.As you squat down, try to get as close to the object as possible. For example, if you are going to pick up a heavy box, squat down directly in front of it. Maybe you will have to spread your knees and legs. Put one knee on each side of the box. Remember at all times to keep your back straight.Put your hands under the objects that is in front of you, between your knees.To lift objects, you should stand up slowly. Use your leg musclesin order to stand up. In other words, lift with your legs, not with your back.1.

But all these only help you to help yourself.There have been many great men in history. But many of them were very poor in childhood, and had no uncles, aunts or friends to help them. Schools were few and not very good. They could not depend upon them for an education. They saw how it was, and set to work with all their strength to know something. They worked their own way up to fame.One of the most famous teachers in England used to tell his pupils, “I cannot make verity men of you, but I can help you make men of yourselves.”Some young men have no idea to be the top one in anything; and they are to be pitied. They can never achieve much unless they seetheir weak points and change their courage. They are nothing now, and will be nothing as long as they live, unless they accept the advice of their parent and teachers, and depend on their own honest efforts.12. “Depend on yourself” in this passage means______.A. rely on natureB. wait for others to helpC. rely on your own effortsD. count on your parents’ help13. Many of the great men in history succeed because______.A. they were very poor in childhoodB. they wanted very much to become famousC. they made great efforts to learn and workD. they could not depend on schools for an education14.

Depend on OthersPassage FourAustralia is nearly as large as the United States, but most of it is too dry for people to live in. Around the edge of this huge dry part are large sheep and cattle farms. A few of them are as large as the smallest states in America. Often the nearest neighbors are many hundred miles away.The two-way radio is very important to people who live on these great Australia farms. It works much like a telephone. A person can listen to someone else talk and then give an answer.When these radios first came into use, the Australia government set up a special two-way radio programme. Then people on the large farms could talk to a doctor hundreds of miles away. They could tell the doctor about someone who was sick, and the doctor could let them know how to care for the sick person.Since the large farms were so far from towns, the children could not go to school. Radio schools were set up for them in some areas. At a certain time each day, the boys and girls turn on their radios and listen to teachers in cities miles away.Families on the large farms wanted to give news to their neighbors.“Round robin” talks by radio were started to keep families in touch with each other.They could talk about who was going away or who was sick or who was getting married. The men could talk about their sheep and cattle and how much money the markets would pay for them. In many ways the radio became a newspaper for the farm people of Australia.17.This passage tells us something about ______.A. how large Australia isB.why the radio is important in AustraliaC. how the radio is used in AustraliaD. both B and C18. Australia is ______America.A. just as large asB. almost the same size asC. larger thanD. as large as the smallest state in19.

ThreeD. four20.The two-way radio is something like a telephone because ______A. the radio has two telephonesB. you can talk to and listen to somebody by radioC. the government set up a special two-way radio programmeD. people could talk to a doctor hundreds of miles away21. Families on the large farms kept in touch with each other by ______.A. radioB. a news paperC. a birdD. both B and CPassage FiveThe earth has a force that pulls things toward itself. We call this force gravity. This is something we live with all the time and we take it for granted and hardly ever think about it. But it is a most important factor in rocket operation and must be overcome if we are to get anywhere in space or off the ground at all.Take the throwing of a ball as an example. The harder the ball is thrown, the faster and higher it will go. What is the secret? It’s speed. If we could throw the ball hard enough it would go up and up forever and never come down. The speed at which it would have to be thrown to do this is known as escape speed. Of course, we cannot throw a ball hard enough because the speed required to escape completely from the Earth’s gravity is seven miles per second, or over twenty-five thousand miles per hour.Once escape speed has been reached by a spacecraft, no further power is needed. A rocket aimed at the moon, for instance, will “coast”(滑行) the rest of the way because the Earth’s gravitycannot then pull it back, and there is no air resistance in space to slow it down. This “coast” is known as “free fall”. That does not mean the rocket is falling down, towards the earth but that it is traveling freely in space without the aid of power, like a bicycle coasting downhill.Free fall is an important feature of space travel as it would be impossible to carry enough fuel to provide powered flight all the time.22. What is the most important factor for a rocket to escape from the Earth?A. To travel as fast as it canB. To overcome the Earth gravityC. To get away from the air resistanceD. To have strong power in its operation23. How fast will a rocket go to escape completely from the Earth’s gravity? ______A. Seventy miles per secondB. Seven thousand miles per hourC. Twenty-five thousand miles per secondD. Twenty-five thousand miles per hour24. As there is always the Earth’s gravitational(地心引力) pull, people ______.A. accept it without questioning itB. never notice its presenceC. hardly think about how to use it.D. often try to escape from it25. When a bicycle “coast” down hill, it ______.A. still needs much powerB. does not need any further powerC. runs freely to all directionsD. does not meet with air resistance26. Why is it not necessary to provide powered flight in space all the time?A. Few spacecraft’s complete their flight operationB. The Earth’s gravity cannot be overcomeC. No future power is needed after the escape speed is reachedD. “Free fall” takes the place of the Earth’s gravity pullPassage SixAre some people born clever, and others born stupid? Or is intelligence developed by our environment and our experience? Strangely enough, the answer to these questions is yes. To some extent our intelligence is given us at birth, and no amount of special education can make a genius out of a child born with low intelligence. On the other hand, a child who lives in a boringenvironment will develop his intelligence less than one who lives in rich and varied surroundings. T hus the limits of a person’s intelligence are fixed at birth, whether or not he reaches those limits will depend on his environment. This view, now held by most experts, can be supported in a number of ways.It is easy to show that intelligence is to some extent something we are born with. The closer the blood relationship between two people, the closer they are likely to be in intelligence. Thus if we take two unrelated people at random from the population, it is likely that their degree of intelligence will be completely different. If, on the other hand, we take two identical twins, they will very likely be as intelligent as each other. Relations like brothers and sisters, parents and children, usually have similar intelligence, and this clearly suggests that intelligence depends on birth.Imagine now that we take two identical twins and put them in different environment. We might send one, for example, to a university and the other to a factory where the work is boring. We should soon find difference in intelligence developing, and this indicates that environment as well as birth plays a part. This conclusion is also suggested by the fact that people who live in close contact with each other, but who are not related at all arelikely to have similar degree of intelligence.27.The writer is in favor of the view that man’s intelligence is given to him ______.A.at birthB. through educationC. both at birth and through educationD. neither at birth nor through education28.If a child is born with low intelligence, he can ______.A. never become a geniusB. still become a genius if he should be givenC. exceed his intelligence limits in rich surroundingsD. not reach his intelligence in his life29.

SurroundingB. IntelligenceC. Dependence on EnvironmentD. Effect on EducationPassage SevenBilly is 14 years old and in the ninth grade. He has a part-time job which gets him up every morning at 5 o’clock. He is a newspaper boy. Each morning, Billy leaves the house at 5:15 to go to the corner, where the newspapers are. The newspapers are delivered to the corner by truck at midnight. He always takes a wagon to carry them.In the winter it is still dark when he gets up, but during the rest of the year it is light. Billy must deliver the newspapers to the houses of people on his route in all kinds of weather. He tries to put each paper on the porch where it will be protected from wind and rain or snow.

Sometimes, when Billy is sick his brother has to deliverthe newspapers. Once, Billy’s father had to help. Billy has seventy customs now, but he hopes to get more soon. Someday if he gets more customers, Billy might win a prize for being an outstanding newspaper boy. He wants to win a trip to Europe, but he will still be happy if he wins a new bicycle.32.

In his eagerness to make money from trees, he has cut them down in large numbers. And besides, he is usually too careless to plant and look after young trees. So the forests slowly disappear.This doesn’t only mean that man will have fewer trees. The results are even more serious, for where there are trees, their roots break up soil-allowing the rain to sink in and also bind(固定) the soil, thus preventing it from being washed away easily; but where there are no trees, the rain falls on hard ground and flows away, causing floods and carrying away the rich top soil. When all the top soil is gone, nothing remains but worthless desert. Two thousand years ago a rich and powerful country cut down its trees to build warships, with which to gain itself an empire. It set up the empire but, without its trees, its soil became poor and it grew weak. When the empire fell to pieces, the home country founditself faced with flood and starvation.37. The most important service of trees to man is that ______.A. they give him shadeB. they give him wood and other productsC. they help him make moneyD. they help him prevent flood and drought38. In many parts of the world forests slowly disappear because ______.A. Man has not paid enough attention to planting treesB. many trees have been cut down by manC. new trees are not looked after properlyD. all the above39. From the third paragraph of the passage we can infer(推断) that ______.A. a heavy rain might cause a serious flood where there are no treesB. forests can prevent land from being turned into desertC. without trees winds can bring a lot of sandD. young trees must be planted while old trees are being cut down40. The country mentioned in the passage suffered from floods and starvation because ______.A. it lost its treesB. it spent too much on its warshipsC. it was defeated by its enemy countries and fell to piecesD. there was a heavy rain41. Which title best fits the passage?A. How an Empire FellB. The Economic Uses of TreesC. Trees and Man.D. What Causes Drought and FloodsPassage NineI was walking along Orchard Road when I realized a tall young man wearing a jacket and tie was following me. I noticed him because not many people wear a jacket and tie in the middle of a hot summer day, and I had already seen this man four times that afternoon. To make sure he was following me, I walked on quickly, turned right into a shopping center and then stopped at another shop window.I walked on and stopped several times. When I stopped, he stopped, too.I began to be rather worried and decided to try to lose this strange man. When I saw a taxi coming, I jumped into it. As I was telling the taxi driver where to go, I found the man got into another taxi, which then followed mine. As the two taxis slowly made their way along Orchard road, I looked back at the taxi behind, and saw that the stranger was looking out at me.At MRT station, I told the taxi driver to stop and I got out. As I was paying my fare, I saw the man was getting out of his taxi. By now I got angry, so I turned and walked straight to him. I asked him why he was following me. At first he said he was not following me at all, but when I threatened to call the police, he admitted he was. He then told me that he was a journalist and that he was writing an article on how elderly people in the United States spend their time.

Oh, the things that I should see if I had the power of sight for just three days!The fast day would be a busy one. I should call to me all my dear friends and look long into their faces, imprinting(刻上) upon my mind the outward evidences of the beauty that is within them, I should let my eyes rest, too, on the face of a baby, so that I could Catch a vision of the eager, innocent beauty which precedes the individual's consciousness of the conflicts which life develops.And I should like to look into the loyal, trusting eyes of my dogs--the serious, clever little Scottie, Darkie, and the strong, understanding Great Dane, Helga, whose warm, tender, and playful friendships are so comforting to me.On that busy first day I should also view the small simple things of my home. I want to see the warm colors in the carpets under my feet, the pictures on the walls, the lovely small furniture that transforms a house into home. My eyes would rest respectfully on the books in dot-raised type which I have read, but they would be more eagerly interested in the printed books which seeing people can read, for during the long night of my life the books I have read and those which have been read to me have built themselves into a great shining lighthouse, showing me the deepest channels of human life and the human spirit.In the afternoon of that first seeing day, I should take a long walk in the woods and intoxicate (使陶醉) my eyes on the beauties of the world of Nature trying desperately to absorb in a few hours the vast brilliance which is presenting itself to those who can see. On the way home from my woodland trip, my path would lie close to a farm so that I might see the patient horses ploughing in the field and the peaceful content of men living close to the soil. And I should pray for the glory of a colorful sunset.When dusk had fallen, I should experience the double delight of being able to see by artificial light which the genius of man has created to extend the power of his sight when Nature brings darkness.In the night of that first day of sight, I should not be able to sleep, so full would be my mind of the memories of the day!(by Helen Keller)二请认真阅读下面短文，并根据所读内容在文章后图表中的空格里填入最恰当的单词。
