一、高中英语任务型阅读1．任务型阅读Aside from the health benefits of laughter (which are numerous and significant), having a sense of humor about life's difficulties can provide a way to bond with others, look at things in a different way, normalize your experience, and keep things from appearing too overwhelming or scary. Properly developed, a good sense of humor can keep people and relationships strong.Studies show that having a smile on your face can make you feel better, and can lead you to actually feeling happier (rather than just looking happier). Even if the smile is fake, the benefits you will experience are real! Also, a fake smile leads readily to a genuine one. If you are able to put a smile on your face, the laughter will come more easily, and the stress will melt more easily. If your situation seems ridiculously frustrating, recognize what can develop into humor in just how ridiculously frustrating and annoying it is. In your imagination, take the situation to an extreme that becomes even more ridiculous until you find yourself amused. For example, when you're waiting in a long line at the store, you can imagine that hours pass, then days, visualizing yourself accepting visits from loved ones from your new home in this ultra-long line, holding your children's birthday parties in aisle seven so you can be there to enjoy them...you get the picture. Besides, find a friend with whom you can laugh also works! You can each share your frustrations, and laugh about them in the process. Even when your friend isn't there, you can feel less stressed by thinking about the retelling that will come later.You can have a “most annoying boss” game with your friends, or try to count how many times the same potentially frustrating event happens in a day.(“I was cut off in traffic 7 times today—I'm almost up to 10!”) This works well for predictable or repetitive annoying situations that you can't control; you can begin to value them in their own special way instead of letting them upset you.One of the factors that drive the popularity of shows like Modern Family or movies like the classic Ferris Bueller's Day Off, is that they take somewhat universal situations that many people find frustrating and push them a little further, pointing out the silliness of it all.What's more, you can try joining Funny Clubs.Years ago, when Oprah had a show rather than a network, she did a part on Laughter Yoga that interested me, and I researched a club on my own, finding it to be a terrific place to enjoy a good laugh. Whether you mean business or laugh at the silliness of it all, taking part in the exercises of laughter yoga with other humor-participants can be a very effective way to get back in the practice of getting some more laughter into your day.potential / possible / underlying；imagine；game；movies / films；universally；seriously【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，讲述了幽默感的重要性及一些培养幽默感的方式。

选项中有两项为多余选项。

They Just Can't Help ItMy theory is that the female brain is mainly built for empathy —the ability to understand other people —and that the male brain is mainly built for building systems. ________ For example, women are more likely to read magazines on fashion and parenting, while men will choose magazines that feature computers and sport.You may think that these preferences are influenced by the way people are taught to behave when they are growing up. However, this is not the case. A new study carried out at Cambridge University shows that newborn girls look longer at a face, and newborn boys look longer at a mobile. ________ It has also been observed that girls are better at noticing signs of changes in other people's feelings. Boys, however, seem to enjoy building toy towers and playing with toys which have clear functions. ________ People whose jobs are in the construction industries are almost male. Math and engineering, which require high levels of systems-thinking, are also male-chosen disciplines. Why do men and women have the difference? Actually women have four times as many brain neurons (神经) that connect the right and left part of their brains. Because of it, women have a better ability to multitask than men. ________ Men tend to focus on a limited number of problems at a time. They will separate themselves from problems and view tasks as independent from one another.Some people may worry that I am suggesting one gender (性别) is better than the other, but this is not the case. My theory says that males and females differ in the kinds of things that they find easy, but that both genders have their strengths and weaknesses. ________ It is not true. The study simply looks at males and females as two groups, and asks what differences exist, and why they are there.A. Generally speaking, there are clear differences.B. Their preference for building systems may change over time.C. You can see the same kind of pattern in the adult workplace.D. They will consider many sources of information at the same time.E. It is important to stress that the female brain may be built more for empathy.F. That suggests certain differences between male and female brains are biological.G. Others may think the theory creates a belief of what a particular type of person is like.【答案】 A；F；C；D；G【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，阐述男性与女性差异各有优缺点。

2020-2021学年湖北江汉油田广华中学高二下期中考试英语卷学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________一、阅读选择An elderly couple lived far away from their children. They noticed that they were beginning to forget many little things around the house. They were afraid that this could be perilous, as one of them might forget to turn off the stove（火炉）and thus cause a fire. They were so worried that they decided to see their doctor to get some help. Their doctor told them that it was unnecessary to take medicine and that many people of their age found it useful to write themselves little notes as reminders. The elderly couple thought this wonderful, and left the doctor’s office very pleased with the advice.When they got home, the wife said, “Dear, will you please go to the kitchen and get me a dish of ice cream? And why don’t you write that down so you won’t forget?”“Don’t be silly,” said the husband. “I can remember a dish of ice cream!”“Well,” said the wife, “I’d also like some strawberries on it. You should write that down, because I know you’ll forget.”“Come on, my memory’s not that bad,” replied the husband. “A dish of ice cream and some strawberries. I can remember that!”And with that, the husband shut the kitchen door behind him. The wife could hear him getting out pots and pans, and making some noise, preparing the dish. He came out of the kitchen about 15 minutes later.Walking over to his wife, he presented her with a plate of fried eggs. The wife took a look at the plate, glanced up at her husband and said, “Hey, where’s the toast？”1．The underlined word “perilous” in the first paragraph can be replaced by “_________”. A．infectious B．dangerous C．exciting D．amazing 2．The couple was worried about___________.A．their bad healthB．their lonely lifeC．their dangerous stoveD．their poor memory3．What was the doctor’s advice to the couple?A．Writing things down.B．Taking some medicine.C．Reminding each other.D．Asking other elderly people for help.4．What do we know from the wife’s words in the last paragraph?A．The husband did a good job in fact.B．The husband forgot to prepare the toast.C．The wife forgot what she wanted to eat.D．The wife had a better memory than the husband.Several hundred strangers received “love letters” from a young man on the street. The let ter was written and given out by Yang Yang，a student majoring in human resources at Chongqing University of Science and Technology, who hoped to show his disappointment with job hunting.Yang's story has caught media attention perhaps because it is similar to those of millions of recent graduates seeking jobs and struggling for survival in the country's wealthiest cities. They have diplomas, rather than professional skills, and come to big cities in hopes of better lives, only to find low-paying jobs and poor living conditions.They are China's “ant tribe (蚁族)”，a term coined by sociologist Lian Si from Peking University in his 2009 book, Ant Tribe.“They're so similar to ants. They share small and narrow living areas. They're intelligent and hard-working, yet nameless and underpaid.”The term also speaks to their helplessness in a world governed by the law of the jungle－only the strongest survive.A survey in Lian's another book published this year, Ant Tribe Ⅱ，found nearly 30 percent of “ants” are graduates o f famous universities－almost three times last year's percentage. Most had degrees in popular majors. In addition, 7.2 percent of “ants” have at least a master's degree compared to 1.6 percent in 2009.An “ant's” average monthly salary is 1,904 yuan, with a bout 64 percent of them earning less than 2,000 yuan a month.Another survey in the 2010 Annual Report on the Development of Chinese Talent found more than 1 million “ants” live in big cities.“Most ants are from rural families or small towns, and their ex periences in universities didn'tarm them well enough to fight with competitors in big cities' employment markets.”Professor Zhang Ming at Renmin University of China said.The “ant tribe's” embarrassing living situations have become a serious social proble m, and the government should develop smaller cities to attract more graduates from big cities, Zhang believed.However, “ants” expect more study and training opportunities in big cities, which keeps them positive despite their situations.5．Yang's story is introduced in order to ________.A．analyze graduates' difficulties in finding jobsB．lead to the topic of the article－“ant tribe”C．tell readers a story about those big citiesD．show a clever way of dealing with pressure6．“Ant tribe” members are similar to ants in the following aspects EXCEPT that ________. A．they live in narrow and small places in groupsB．they work hard but earn little for survivalC．they are in a world judged by the jungle lawD．they are pleased with being nameless and underpaid7．By writing this article, the author mainly intends to show________.A．despite better education，“ants” are still strugglingB．despite difficulties，“ants” have a promising futureC．better education, better job opportunitiesD．Ant Tribe is a good book to help understand today's ChinaScientists have proved that sleeping and learning go hand in hand. Even a short nap can boost our memory and sharpen our thinking. But the relationship goes deeper than that.“The brain is not passive while you sleep,” scientist Anat Arzi said. “It’s quite active. You can do many things while you are asleep.”Arzi and her coworkers didn’t try to teach the sleeping volunteers any complex information, like new words or facts. Instead, the scientists taught volunteers to make new connections between smells and sounds.When we smell something good, like a flower, we take deep breaths. When we smell something bad, we take short breaths. Arzi and her co-workers based their experiment onthese reactions.Once the volunteers fell asleep in the lab, the scientists went to work. They gave them a whiff of something pleasant and meanwhile played a particular musical note. They didn’t wake up, but they heard—and sniffed(吸气) deeply. Then the scientists gave the volunteers a whiff of something terrible and played a different musical note. Again, the volunteers heard and smelled—a short snort this time—but didn’t wake up. The researchers repeated the experiment.After just four repetitions, volunteers made a connection between the musical notes and their paired smells. When the scientists played the musical tone that went with good smells, the sleepers breathed deeply. And when the scientists played the musical tone that went with bad smells, the sleepers breathed briefly—despite there being no bad smell.The next day, the volunteers woke up with the sound-smell connection. They breathed deeply when hearing one tone and cut their breaths short when hearing the other, which must have been unusual for them. Imagine walking down the street and taking a deep breath upon hearing a particular sound!8．In the study, the volunteers were taught _______.A．to become active during sleepB．to tell the difference between smellsC．to learn new words and scientific factsD．to make sound-smell connections9．How did the volunteers react when smelling something nice and hearing musical notes? A．They took a deep breath.B．They had a wonderful dream.C．They woke up at once.D．They took a short breath.10．When the volunteers woke up the next day, they_______.A．learned how to play to musical tonesB．forgot what happened during their sleepC．continued with the sound-smell connectionD．changed their reaction when hearing the sound11．The passage mainly tells us _______.A．special smells and sounds can improve our memoryB．our brain can actually learn something new during sleepC．the volunteers will always hear similar sounds on the streetD．our brain can tell the difference between smells during sleepGoogle Works MiraclesGoogle() is a daily miracle to millions of people. If the Internet had only this very fast search engine, it would have justified its existence many times over. It is the most popular search engine on the web with a 54% market share, ahead of Yahoo! You type almost anything, however unclear, into the space provided and in a second it has come up with hundreds of references. If knowledge is power, then Google commands the gateway. Yahoo Becomes GiantYahoo() was the first wonder of the web, and in many respects, it still is. It started in January 1994 when two California graduate students, Jerry Yang and David Filo, started compiling a database of links, mainly for their personal use. But well before the end of the year, it had become recognizable as Yahoo we know today. In the past seven years, Yahoo had grown rapidly, partly through a long string of buys. Yahoo now offers almost everything you could want: emails, instant messages, chats, clubs, photo albums and a lot more.eBay Enables Everyone to Buy and SelleBay(),which deals with online trading and shopping services, is the most impressive large Internet company where people buy and sell goods and services worldwide. It has, for instance, opened up a global marketplace in which people from Beijing, San Francisco, or Moscow can bid against each other for products put up for sale by someone in London. The company’s online service permits sellers to list items for sale, buyers to bid on items of interest, and eBay users to browse through listed items that is available online seven days a week.Amazon Makes Buying a New ExperienceAmazon()started out as an online bookstore, constantly putting up new book titles it offered for sale. In the late 1990s, Amazon had more than four million titles after adding CDs, videos, DVDs and games, It continued to add new lines of business including toys, computer software, electronics, like MP3 players, power tools, home improvement products and online sales.
