Louis Braille was born in the nineteenth century. When he was three years old, an accident at his father’s workshop left him blind. As a young boy, Louis was hard-working and clever. His teachers suggested that he should go to the National Institute for Blind Youths. ①At that time, this was the only school for the blind in France.At the institute, Louis was eager to learn to read and write. To his great disappointment, the few books he found at the institute used raised (凸起的) letters. This method of reading was difficult for the blind, because they had to feel slowly each letter. ②到他们摸到句子末尾时，他们已经忘记开头是关于什么了。

Louis wanted to develop an easier reading system for the blind. His idea of such a system came from Charles Barbier, a French army officer. Barbier had invented a system called “Night Writing”, which was made up of dots and dashes. Soldiers used this system to communicate with one another during the night. Louis adapted (改编) this system for his own use. He produced a simpler system based on dots. For example, “A” is represented by a single dot. Many blind students found this system much easier to use.This came to be known as the “Braille” system. Today, millions of blind people are able to read, thanks to the work of a young blind man.任务一：将文中划线的句子①翻译成汉语。

专题十八任务型阅读1.(2019河北)阅读短文，并按要求完成66~70题Critical thinking(批判性思维) is trying to improve the way you think. People use critical thinking in every area of life to solve problems and evaluate claims(评估主张).Like every other skill, critical thinking takes practice. When a problem comes our way, we need to think critically to decide how to solve it. When we see an advertisement, for example, we should stop and think. Advertisements are made to make people feel certain that they are true, and then people can buy the products. But is what the advertisement says true? Is it making a claim? Or does it only interest us? Critical thinking is important and stops us from making poor choices. In fact, we are using it if we ask questions naturally about what we see.Practice makes perfect. While you are growing in critical thinking, you’ll become a wiser and more thoughtful person. There are many ways of doing practice. Here are a few.★Read about a topic people disagree on. Look at articles or books on all sides of the subject. For each side of the subject, think carefully and evaluate it.★When you see or hear a claim, ask questions about it. Who is making the claim and why?★Evaluate your own thi nking. Where and why do you think uncritically? How can you improve?Critical thinking should be part of everything we do. It may help you to succeed at work or school. Make yourself into a habit of critical thinking. Change your thoughts and change your world.66、67题完成句子；68题简略回答问题；69题找出并写下第二段的主题句；70题将文中画线句子译成汉语。

专题34：任务型阅读一、填空Last Saturday, our school organized a talent show to raise money for charity. It was a great success. Students took an active part in it and we raised 20,000 yuan in all.After the show I interviewed three students. First, I talked with Liu Li. In the talent show, she danced the ballet（芭蕾舞）. “How long have you been dancing the ballet?” I asked. “For about six years.” she answered. “Why do you learn it?” “I think it’s beautiful and I want to be a professional dancer when I grow up.”Next I had a talk with Zhao Qiang. He played a piece of Mozart’s music. He played wonderfully. I asked, “When did you start playing the piano?” “Um, I’m twelve now and I have been doing it since I was five.” he said. “Are you going to play the piano after you finish high school?” “Sure. My dream is to be a pianist.”Finally, I asked Chen Yun, an 11-year-old girl. She sang us some folk songs（民歌）. Her voice is very sweet. “Why are you interested in folk music?” I asked. “I admire Song Zuying and I want to be a singer like her. I have been singing folk songs since five years ago. I hope I can hold a singing concert in the future.” she said.We all have days when we are down, tired and unhappy. That’s OK. You need days like this, or how can you know you are happy? You’ll enjoy your good days even more when you have a few bad days. Even if sadness is part of life, let’s try to make it small. Here are a few simple ways to help you feel better when you are feeling sad.First, stand up straight and this helps your energy flow (流动). When your energy is flowing freely, you can flow too. Second, smile! A smile takes little effort but produces good results. It can bring not only you but also people around you a good mood. Third, listen to music. It can be the music that you like best. Some kinds of music work better than others, so try and find out what kind of music works the best for you. Fourth, take some “me” time. You can find pleasure in reading a book, watching a sunrise or having a hot bath, or something like that. Last but not least, exercise. Even something as simple as taking a walk will get your blood flowing. It is a great way to clear your mind of anything that makes you sad.These ways will cheer you up when you are down, but don’t just use them when you are sad. Try and practise them every day to make them a habit. You will be surprised to learn that these simple ways will keep your sadness away. But if you are in a deep depression (沮丧), go to seeEvery year people celebrate Chinese New Year in China. (1)Usually it is in January or February. It is the most important festival in China. So before it comes, everyone buys things, and they often make a special kind of food called dumplings. The dumpling means “coming together”.

2020年中考英语任务型阅读专项训练一、多任务混合问题Many of us don't pay attention to the importance of eye care. It's said that if you take care of your body, then you can be healthy. That is why our eyes should be given a lot of care. Natural eye care should be put in a number one place.There are several causes leading to poor eyesight like not enough food, gene (基因) and aging (年龄增长). Televisions, computers and reading are also the causes of having poor eyesight.If you happen to work in front of the computer, it is best to take a rest every once in a while.Something dirty can cause redness and they will make you feel uncomfortable. It is bad for your eyes, too.If this happens, the best way is to clean your eyes by using cold water. You must also try your best to protect your eyes from harmful thing. For example, sunglasses are not just fashion but they can also serve as a great way to protect your eyesight from UV rays.Eating healthy foods will do good to your eyesight. Remember that vitamins (维生素) A, C and E are good for eyes. Try to eat food groups that have these vitamins. And you should do eye exercises because exercise protects your eyesight, too. If a person exercises regularly (规律地) and eats the right kind of food, his eyes will stay in good condition for a long time.All above are natural ways of eye care that help us keep healthy eyes. Being happy all the time can be helpful to a person's eyesight, too. In a word, eye care is very important, no matter how old a person is.1．完成句子: Sunglasses can serve as a great way to protect ________ from UV rays.2．简略回答问题: How many causes can lead to bad eyesight?____________________________3．简略回答问题: What should you do if you have to work in front of the computer?____________________________4．给本文拟定一个题目（不超过6个词）____________________________5．将文中画线句子译成汉语:____________________________Many people know that rubbish is a big problem on planet Earth. What many people don't know is that junk has become a problem in outer space too.According to BBC News, there are more than 22, 000 pieces of space junk floating around the earth. And these are just the things that we can see from the surface of the earth by telescopes (望远镜). There are also millions of smaller pieces of junk that we can't see.Objects, like bits of old space rockets or satellites, move around the planet at very high speeds, so fast that even a very small piece can break important satellites or become dangerous to astronauts. If the tiniest piece of junk crashed into a spaceship, it could damage the vehicle (交通工具).To make things worse, when two objects in space crash, they break into many smaller pieces. For example, when a U. S. satellite hit an old Russian rocket in 2009, it broke into more than 2,000 pieces, increasing the amount of space junk.To reduce additional space junk, countries have agreed that all new space tools can only stay in space for 25 years at most. Each tool must be built to fall safely into the earth's atmosphere after that time. In the upper parts of the atmosphere, it will burn up.Many scientists are also suggesting different ways to clean up space junk. In England scientists are testing a metal net that can be fired into space junk. The net catches the junk and then pulls it into the earth's atmosphere to burn up. The Germans are building robots that can collect pieces of space junk and bring them back to Earth to be safely destroyed."The problem is becoming more challenging because we're sending more objects into space to help people use their mobile phones and computers," says Marco Castronuovo, an Italian space researcher."The time to act is now. The longer we leave the problem, the bigger it will become," he says.6．Junk has become a problem in ________ too.7．What would happen if the tiniest piece of junk crashed into a spaceship?___________________________________________________8．Why have countries agreed that all new space tools can only stay in space for 25 years at most?___________________________________________________9．找出并写下第六段的主题句___________________________________________________10．将文中画线句子译成汉语。

专题：任务型阅读一、填空At the moment, it may be difficult to imagine, but many people believe that, by the year 2100, we will live on the planet Mars．Our own planet, Earth, is becoming more and more crowded and polluted．Luckily, we can start again and build a better world on Mars．First of all, transport should be much better．___________________________．However, by 2100, spaceship can travel at half the speed of light．It might take us two or three days to get to Mars! Secondly, humans need food, water and air to live．Scientists should be able to develop plants that can be grown on Mars．These plants will produce the food and air that we need．However, can these plants produce water for us? There is no answer now.There is a problem for us to live on Mars．Mars suck（吸力） us much less than the Earth does．This will be dangerous because we could easily jump too high and fly slowly away into space．To prevent this, humans on Mars have to wear special shoes to make themselves heavier.Life on Mars will be better than that on Earth in many ways．People will have more space．Living in a large building with only 10 bedrooms is highly possible．Many people believe that robots will do most of our work, so we have more time for our hobbies.There will probably be no school on Mars．Every student will have a computer at home which is connected to the internet．They can study, do their homework and take exams in online schools．Each student will also have their own online teacher called “e-teacher”.However, in some ways, life on Mars may not be better than that on the earth today．Food will not be the same—meals will probably be in the form of pills and will not be as delicious as they are today．Also, space travel will make many people feel ill．The spaceship will travel fast, so the journey to Mars will probably be very uncomfortable.1．根据短文内容完成句子填空（每空限填一个单词）。

(listen)to musicians and meeting interesting locals.Ⅱ. 阅读理解Passage 1 [2020·原创]Today we see writing all around us. There is writing in books, on signs, and on puter screens. Most children learn to read and write at an early age and use these skills to get and share information in books, magazines, letters, and messages. Businesses depend on written words to municate and to sell products. Governments depend on written documents as the basis for their laws. We would be lost without writing.The earliest people had no system of writing. Writing developed over thousands of years in different cultures around the world,like ancient Egypt, Mesopotamia, Crete, China, and so on.Long before, drawings were used as a form of munication. Rock drawings are found in many places. One rock drawing in the mountainous part of New Mexico shows a mountain goat standing up and a man riding a horse upside down. Archaeologists(考古学家) believe that the drawing was a warning to riders that the road was too dangerous to walk.Modern forms of writing began when people learned to use symbols, such as letters and words to stand for ideas. At first, they used pictures that stood for words. For example, a picture might show a hunter, the weapons(武器) the hunter used, and a pair of deer the hunter killed. Then, Sumerians in Mesopotamia learned to use the same symbols to stand for different words. Ancient Egyptians used symbols known as hieroglyphs(象形字). It was similar to the writing of the Sumerians.Even greater advances were made in China about 3,500 years ago. The Chinese used thousands of signs and they could write proper names and new words. However, this was a knotty system. To make writing easier, things had to be made in easy way. The answer was the development of alphabets. The Phoenicians are often credited with developing one of the first useful alphabets. The Phoenician alphabet used about 20 or 30 signs. They were well on their way to at least one type of modern writing because the modern English alphabet uses 26 letters.1.What's the purpose of Paragraph 1? ( )A.To show how important the writing is in our daily lives.B.To tell that writing is used mostly in business and government.C.To pare the writing of young people with the writing of adults.D.To explain where writing to be seen.2.Modern forms of writing started when people used . ( )A.symbols like letters and wordsB.proper names and new wordsC.the Phoenician alphabetD.the modern English alphabet3.What does the underlined word “knotty” in t he last paragraph probably mean? ( )A.Acceptable.B.Difficult.C.Meaningless.D.mon.4.The text mainly talks about . ( )A.who invented writingB.when writing appearedC.how writing developedD.what writing wasPassage 2 [2020·原创]How do you celebrate your birthday? Do you have a birthday party or get many best wishes from your friends or family? People celebrate birthdays almost in the same way—birthday cakes, birthday candles, birthday songs are very often seen. However, there are also some special ways to celebrate birthdays.In Nigeria (a country in Africa), the 1st, 5th, 10th, and 15th birthdays are very important to them. On these birthdays, they often have very big parties with more than 100 guests. They often eat a roasted cow or goat. There is also a very special food called “Joll of Rice”. It's the rice with tomatoes, red pepper, onions and sweet potatoes.In Korea, the most important birthday is “paegil”. It's on the 100th day after a child's birth. The family and friends get together to have a big dinner with rice cakes, wine and other delicious food like red and black bean cakes. It's said if 100 people share with the rice cakes, the child will have a long life. So parents often send the rice cakes to as many people as possible to share happiness. Parents also put the red and black bean cakes in the house because they believe the bean cakes can lead to good luck and happiness.In China, the 1st birthday is very important to a baby. The parents often put the baby in the center of a group of things, such as coins, a doll, a book, etc. And wait to see which thing the baby picks up. If the baby picks up a coin, he or she may be rich. If the baby chooses the book, he or she may bee a teacher. If the baby reaches for the doll, he or she may have many children. The sixth birthday is also a special birthday for the Chinese child. Parents often cook a bowl of very long noodles to wish the birthday child a long life.All of these ways to celebrate birthdays may be different, but the wishes of good luck and happiness are the same.5.Which of the following is linked(有联系) to a long life? ( )A.Putting the red and black bean cakes in the house in Korea.B.Picking up the things on the first birthday in China.C.Having a very big birthday party in Nigeria.D.Sharing the rice cakes with 100 people in Korea.6.How do people usually celebrate their birthdays in the world? ( )A.They have cakes with candles and sing birthday songs.B.They eat delicious “Joll of Rice”.C.They have a bowl of very long noodles.D.They have a big dinner with rice cakes.7.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? ( )A.People in Nigeria have four birthdays to celebrate.B.People in Korea eat “Joll of Rice” to celebrate birthdays.C.Paegil is the most important birthday for people in Korea.D.Coins mean a long life in Chinese pick-up games on the 1st birthday.8.Which of the following shows the structure(结构) of the passage?

JS2020 年中考英语阅读理解 B 篇专练从每题所给的四个选项中, 选出能回答所发问题或达成所给句子的最正确答案。

（一）English has become a language that is most widely used in the world. So which country, not including English-speaking countries, speaks English best? And where does China rank ( 排名 )?Swedish language education company EF published their 2017 English Proficiency Index ( 娴熟度指标). The Netherlands ranked first, followed by Sweden and Denmark. The rankings are based on English reading and listening test results.According to the index, the English proficiency in China is still low, ranking 36th. Out of the whole country, people in Shanghai are the best English speakers. They speak better English than Italians and French. Hong Kong and Beijing follow Shanghai as China ’s next best English-speaking cities.“ Shanghai and Beijing rank high because they are international cities, ” EF senior manager Christopher McCormick said. “However, across China, proficiency in English is different from east to west. ”China has 400 million English learners, reported China Daily. However, the teaching ofEnglish in some areas is not very good. According to People’s Daily Online, there are seven primary schools in She Tianqiao town in Hunan, but only one English teacher. Many students still learn English by rote memorization .Sebastian Magnusson, an officer at the Swedish embassy ( 大使馆 )in Beijing, gave some advice. Swedish people speak English well and Magnusson himself is also fluent in Chinese. He said TV programs, movies and even computer games could be learning tools. “ Do not limit it to textbooks. What matters most is to use what you ’ve learned, ” Magnusson said.()1._____ ranked first in the 2017 English Proficiency Index.A. SwedenB. The NetherlandsC. DenmarkD. The United Kingdom()2. The underlined words“ rote memorization” probably mean _____ in the passage.A. 照本宣科B. 查漏补缺C. 联想记忆D. 分类记忆A. Half of the Chinese population is learning English now.B.

From Magnusson ’ s words, we can learn that _____.A. English is difficult for younger students to learnB. learning English from textbooks is not a good methodC. learners should put what they have learned into practiceD. learners should get help from their teachers and parents()5.The passage is mainly about _____.A. which country speaks English bestB. the English proficiency in ChinaC. the English teachers in ChinaD. the best English speakers in China（二）Body language is the quiet, secret and most powerful language of all! It is said that our body movements communicate about 50 percent of what we really mean while words only express 7 percent. So, while your mouth is closed, your body is just saying⋯Arms. How you hold your arms shows how open you are to the people you meet. If you keep your arms to the sides of your body or behind your back, this suggests you are not afraid of taking on whatever comes your way. Outgoing people generally use their arms with big movements, while quieter people keep them close to their bodies. If someone upsets you, just cross your arms to show you’ re unhappy!Head. When you want to appear confident, keep your head level. If you are a monitor in class, you can also take on this position when you want your words to be taken seriously. However, to be friendly in listening or speaking, you must move your head a little.Legs. Your legs tend to move around a lot more than normal when you are nervous ortelling lies. If you are at interviews, try to keep them still!Posture (姿势 ). A good posture makes you feel better about yourself. If you are feeling down, you normally don ’ t sit straight. This makes breathing more difficult, which can make you feel nervous or uncomfortable.Mouth. When you are thinking, position to hold back an angry comment( still be noticed, and people will know you you often shut your mouth. You might also use this 议论 )you don ’t wish to show.

Body Language and WordsB. Arms Tell More Than LegsC. Facial Expressions Tell the TruthD. Simple Movements Show Your ThoughtsJS（三）Many Chinese people will wonder what presents to get for their moms on Mother’ s Day, but not many know Mother’ s Day is actually a festival from overseas.Mother ’s Day originated( 发源 )in America during the early 20th century. The festivalspread to China as early as the 1980s and was widely accepted.Why did a foreign festival become popular in China? In fact, Chinese traditional culture has always encouraged filial devotion to parents. There are many stories which show filial respect in ancient China.For example, the story of “ Taste Liquid(液体的 )Medicine for Mother ” tells us the filial virtue( 美德 )of Emperor Wen of the Western Han Dynasty. His mother had been sick for three years. He often stayed up by her bedside and cared for her day and night. He tasted the liquid medicine first before she drank it. Also, mother ’ s love is a repeated subject in Chinese ancient poems, like Song of the Parting Son by Meng Jiao, a poet of the Tang Dynasty. Now this poem is still a must in the school textbooks. Children in China are brought up with the education of filial devotion.On special days, people often use roses or forget -me-nots to express love. Carnations are considered as the perfect flowers for mothers around the world, but few know that China has itsown for mothers — the tiger lily.Love for mothers can have different ways of expression. What matters most is love, not the festival itself. What mothers truly want is perhaps just a simple expression of love from their children.You may find it difficult to make the plan now. Don ’t worry. All you need is just a rough( 大略的)one. Once you enter the senior high school, you ’ ll get a chance to make it better with the help of your teachers. And your personal growth plan may change with your age, your interests and the social development. So take your time and I believe you will grow into an excellent young man.Best wishes!精选文档欢迎下载 4Yours,Li Fang ( )1.

However, strictly speaking, Boxing Day is the first weekday after Christmas. Like Christmas Day, Boxing Day is a public holiday. That means it -working day in ’thes wholeanon of Britain. When Boxing Day falls on a Saturday or Sunday, the following Monday is the public holiday.The exact origin (发源 )of the holiday is unclear. One of the thoughts is that during the Middle Ages, when great sailing ships were setting off to discover new land, a Christmas box was placed by a priest ( 神父 )on each ship. Those sailors who wanted to ensure a safe return would drop money into the box. It was sealed and kept on board until the ship came home safely. Then the box was handed over to the priest in exchange for the saying of thanks for the success of thesailing.

The railway would carry coal(煤炭 )for James Clifford from his mines, and would push others like Huntington Beaumont to create his own railway, which was able to pull 280 — 330 pounds of coal with a single horse. These rails continued through the 18th century, and would become more common as the years went on.Steam power created the first train, and thus the modern railroad was born in 1784. James Watt, who was a Scottish inventor, made improvements to Thomas Newcomen ’ s steam engine, which was used to move water out of mine. With these improvements, he could createsmaller and smaller engines, finally patenting(申请专利)the design for the steam locomotive(机车)in 1784. The first working railway steam locomotive was made in the United Kingdom by Richard Trevithick in 1804. The world ’s first railway journey took place on February 21st, 1804.In 1812 Matthew Murray created the first rack(齿轨) railway which was able to hold a train, and was followed in 1813 by Puffing Billy, made by Christopher Blackett and William Hedley and these were the first financially( 经济上 )successful trains.

Are you different because you are the first, second, or third child in your family—or maybe the last of nine?A study showed that first -borns have an average( 均匀的 )IQ that is three points higher than people who fall into a different place in the birth order, perhaps because first-borns often help younger brothers and sisters, which improves their own skills. In 2007, an international organization of CEOs found that 43% of them are first-borns, 33% are middle children, and 23% are last-borns. First-borns are more likely( 可能的 )to be doctors and engineers and get higher pay.If first -borns are more successful, last -borns are generally more friendly. They are also more likely to be funny, possibly to get attention from all the bigger people at the dinner table. Mark Twain and Stephen Colbert were both the youngest in large families, and Jim Carrey was the youngest of four. According to a 2007 Time magazine article,“ The Power of Birth Order” , last-borns are more likely to be artists and successful businessmen.Then there are the middle children. Many middle children experience less one-on-one( 一对一 )time with their parents. They often feel short-changed：The oldest gets more rights, and the youngest is “ spoiled( 宠坏的 )”. Though they may be ignored( 忽略 ), middle children are more likely to grow into outgoing adults.Many factors( 要素 )make us who we are, but if the research is correct, birth order may( )1. _____ is most likely to be a CEO.A.
