2020-2021高考英语任务型阅读试题(附答案)
一、高中英语任务型阅读
1．根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

选项中有两项为多余选项。

They Just Can't Help It
My 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。

A. Generally speaking, there are clear differences.一般来说，有明显的差异。

B. Their preference for building systems may change over time.他们对建筑系统的偏好可能随着时间的推移而改变
C. You can see the same kind of pattern in the adult workplace.你可以在成年人的工作场所看到
同样的模式。

D. They will consider many sources of information at the same time.他们会同时考虑许多信息来源。

E. It is important to stress that the female brain may be built more for empathy.很重要的一点是，女性的大脑可能更多地建立在共情的基础上。

F. That suggests certain differences between male and female brains are biological.这表明男性和女性大脑的某些差异是生物学上的。

G. Others may think the theory creates a belief of what a particular type of person is like.其他人可能认为这一理论产生了一种特定类型的人的信念。

（1）前文叙述男女大脑用途不同，且根据后文提示，For example 的提示，举例说男性与女性在选择杂志上的区别，故此处应为一个总起性质的句子，强调区别。

故选A。

（2）第二段总起的观点为男性与女性在选择上的差异是后天培养的，However 话锋一转，说新生儿在选择上的差异，因此提出新的观点“暗示男性与女性选择上的差异是天生的，即为生理差异决定的。

”故选F。

（3）前文提及男孩对搭建玩具塔楼以及功能性较强的玩具有强烈的倾向，后文说建筑类工作多为男性，故前后文都是描述男性相同的选择倾向，只是发生的年龄和场所不同，故选C。

（4）前文提及女性更具有同时从事多个任务的能力，与 D 选项many sources 及at the same time 呼应，故选D。

（5）前文提到my theory “男性与女性各有优缺点”，后文说“it is not true”，故此处引出一个容易误解的观点。

G 选项提及的theory，且这里的观点认为“我的观点会让男性女性模式化，故选G。

【点评】七选五的答案选项较少并且给出的都是句子，因此，我们可以通过句子的完整性或句子但后面的标点符号来判断该句在我在中的位置。

另外通过阅读选项，有可能找出跟其他选项表达不同意思的句子，就可以直接将该选项排除。

2．任务型阅读
A peer is a person who is about the same age as you. Peers affect your life, whether you know it or not, just by spending time with you.
________ Maybe another student in your science class taught you an easy way to remember the planets in solar system. Maybe you got others excited about your new favorite book and now everyone's reading it. However, sometimes peers affect one another in another way________ Maybe a kid in the neighborhood wanted you to steal with him.
Some kids give in to peer pressure because they want to be liked, to fit in, or because they worry that other kids may make fun of them if they don't go along with the group.________ The idea that “everyone's doing it” may influence some kids to leave their better judgments or their common senses behind.
Peer pressure can be extremely strong and hard to get rid of. Experiments have shown how peer pressure can influence someone to change her/his mind from what she/he knows for sure is
a correct answer to the incorrect answer-just because everyone else gives the incorrect answer!________

【点评】阅读理解七选五解题技巧：词语复现
词语复现包括原词复现和同反义词复现，及正确选项和空格前后句子有相同的词或同反
义词相互呼应。

抓住这些复现线索，题目自然迎刃而解。

需要指出的是，词语复现法解题十分管用，但这并不意味着凡与上下文有复现词的选项就一定是正确选项，只是正确的可能性更大，在解题过程中需重点考虑或优选考虑而已。

是否为正确答案，还得将选项代入原文，检验选项与上下文能否自然衔接，只有上下衔接紧密的才是正确选项。

4．任务型阅读
It is now mandatory(强制) for drivers or passengers to wear seatbelts while in a car in all states. In addition, it is also mandatory for kids of be in some kind of specialized car seat. Given the strict requirements in other vehicles, why don't buses have seatbelts?
The main answer, at least for school buses, is that seatbelts do not make school buses safer. Overall, traveling on school buses is the safest way to travel—40 times safer than riding in a car—with only a handful of deaths occurring to passengers on school buses every year. The seats on the school bus are placed very close to each other and have high backs that are thickly padded. As a result, in an accident the students would be propelled forward a very short distance into a padded seatback that in a way is like an airbag. In addition, the fact that people sit high off the ground on school buses also makes it safer to travel on them.
While school buses feature high backed seats and elevated seating locations, the same cannot be said of city buses. However, from a practical angle, there's little need to require seatbelts on city buses. Although the design of the modern low—floor city bus is less safe than the design of school buses, the fact that city buses rarely travel at speeds greater than 35 miles per hour means that any collision is likely to be small, Also, given that most trips on city buses are short and that many trips have standing passengers, the presence of seatbelts will make even less of a difference.
Another answer why buses do not have seatbelts is cost. It is estimated that adding seatbelts to buses would add between $8,000 and $15,000 to the cost of each bus. In addition, seatbelts would take up room currently used as seats, meaning that each bus would have fewer seating places. The additional room in the bus taken up by seatbelts would mean that bus fleets would have to increase by as much as 15% just to carry the same number of people. Such an increase would be especially difficult in cities that experience overcrowding on their vehicles.
Regardless of whether their passengers have seatbelts, all buses provide seatbelts for drivers and most bus companies make their drivers wear seatbelts in order not to be influenced by a collision.

6．阅读下列短文并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入最恰当的单词，每空格1词。

A 2014 study found that readers of a short mystery story on a Kindle were significantly worse at remembering the order of events than those who read the same story in paperback.
The brain reads by constructing a mental representation of the text based on the placement of the page in the book and the word on the page. The tactile (触觉的) experience of a book aids this process, from the thickness of the pages in your hands as you progress through the story to the placement of a word on the page.
Surveys about the use of e-readers suggests that this affects a reader's sense of control. The inability to turn back to previous pages or control the text physically, either through making
written notes or bending pages, limits one's sensory experience and thus reduces long-term memory of the text.
Before the Internet, the brain read in a linear (线状的) fashion, taking advantage of sensory details to remember where key information was in the book by layout.
As we increasingly read on screens, our reading habits have adapted to skim a text rather than really absorb its meaning. A 2006 study found that people read on screens in a "F" pattern, reading the entire top line but then only scanning through the text along the left side of the page. This sort of nonlinear reading reduces comprehension and actually makes it more difficult to focus the next time you sit down with a longer piece of text.
Tufts University neuroscientist Maryanne Wolf worries that "the superficial way we read during the day is affecting us when we have to read with more in-depth processing." Individuals are increasingly finding it difficult to sit down and involve themselves deeply in a novel. As a result, some researchers and literature-lovers have started a "slow reading" movement, as a way to counteract their difficulty making it through a book.
Slow-reading advocates recommend at least 30 to 45 minutes of daily reading away from the distractions of modern technology. By doing so, the brain can reengage with linear reading. The benefits of making slow reading a regular habit are numerous, reducing stress and improving your ability to concentrate.
Reading an old-fashioned novel is also linked to improving sleep. When many of us spend our days in front of screens, it can be hard to signal to our body that it's time to sleep. By reading a paper book about an hour before bed, your brain enters a new zone, distinct from that enacted by reading on an e-reader.
miss；easy /easier；stressed /anxious /worried；sleep
【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了阅读纸质书籍有助于对书内容的理解，对比了阅读纸质书籍和电子书籍这两种阅读习惯，说明了慢读和阅读纸质书籍的好处。

（1）考查信息归纳。

根据第一段"A 2014 study found that readers of a short mystery story on a Kindle were significantly worse at remembering the order of events than those who read the same story in paperback.”；以及第二段“ The brain rea ds by constructing a mental representation of the text based on the placement of the page in the book and the word on the page. The tactile (触觉的) experience of a book aids this process, from the thickness of the pages in your hands as you progress through the story to the placement of a word on the page"可知，2014年的一项研究发现，在Kindle上阅读一篇短篇侦探小说的读者，相比读平装书上同一篇小说的读者，在记忆情节顺序方面明显逊色很多。

大脑在阅读时会根据书页在书中的位置以及单词在书页上的位置构建文本的心理表征。

在阅读过程中，你手中逐渐变厚的书页，还是一个单词在页面上所处的位置，纸质书的这类触觉体验都促进了大脑的上述运作过程。

所以前两段在主要说明阅读纸质书籍有助于对书内容的理解。

故填print。

（2）考查同义转换。

根据第二段中的“The tactile (触觉的) experience of a book aids this process”可知，纸质书的这类触觉体验都促进了大脑的上述运作过程。

aid可以用contribute to替换，都表示“有助于”。

故填contributes。

（3）考查信息归纳。

根据第三段中的"Surveys about the use of e-readers suggests that this affects a reader's sense of control。

The inability to turn back to previous pages or control the text physically."可知，关于电子阅读器使用情况的调查显示，这影响了读者的控制感。

读者不能翻回到之前的页面，也不能用有形的方式控制文本。

所以电子阅读器的使用会影响读者用有形的方式控制文本的能力。

故填ability。

（4）考查同义转换。

根据第三段中的"…thus reduces long-term memory of the text."可知，因此降低了对文本的长期记忆。

所以通过"reduce"可以判断出，unable /fail to do“未能做某事”符合句意。

故填unable /fail。

（5）考查归纳概括。

根据第四段"Before the Internet, the brain read in a linear (线状的) fashion, taking advantage of sensory details to remember where key information was in the book by layout. ”；以及第五段中的“As we inc reasingly read on screens, our reading habits have adapted to skim a text rather than really absorb its meaning."可知，没有互联网的时候，大脑以线状的方式阅读，利用感官细节按版面编排记住书中的关键信息。

随着我们越来越多地在屏幕上阅读，我们的阅读习惯已经适应了略读文本而不是真正吸收其含义。

所以第四段，第五段在对比两种阅读习惯。

故填Explanations /Comparisons。

（6）考查同义转换。

根据第四段"Before the Internet, the brain read in a linear (线状的) fashion, taking advantage of sensory details to remember where key information was in the book by layout."可知，没有互联网的时候，大脑以线状的方式阅读，利用感官细节按版面编排记住书中的关键信息。

"layout"可用location替换，都表示“位置”。

故填location。

（7）考查归纳概括。

根据第五段中的"As we increasingly read on screens, our reading habits
have adapted to skim a text rather than really absorb its meaning."可知，随着我们越来越多地在屏幕上阅读，我们的阅读习惯已经适应了略读文本而不是真正吸收其含义。

所以通过"rather than really absorb its meaning"可知，用miss“错过”概括。

故填miss。

（8）考查同义转换。

根据第六段中的"As a result, some researchers and literature-lovers have started a "slow reading" movement, as a way to counteract their difficulty making it through a book."可知，因此，一些研究人员和文学爱好者开始了一场“慢读”运动，以抵消他们阅读时的困难。

所以通过"counteract their difficulty"可知，用easy /easier“容易的”替换。

故填easy /easier。

（9）考查同义转换。

根据第七段中的"The benefits of making slow reading a regular habit are numerous, reducing stress and improving your ability to concentrate."可知，养成慢速阅读的习惯有很多好处，可以减轻压力，提高注意力。

所以通过"stress"可以判断出，stressed /anxious /worried“焦虑的”可以替换。

故填stressed /anxious /worried。

（10）考查信息归纳。

根据第八段中的"Reading an old-fashioned novel is also linked to improving sleep"可知，读一本老式小说也有助于改善睡眠。

故填sleep。

【点评】本题考点涉及信息归纳，同义转换和归纳概括三个题型的考查，是一篇文化类阅读，要求考生准确掌握所给材料，根据上下文的逻辑关系，结合相关的语法知识和词汇知识，做出正确答案。

7．根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

选项中有两项为多余选项。

After a long day at work, coming home is a breath of fresh air. Home is a comfortable place to sit back and relax. ________ Below are a number of things we can do to create a healthy home environment that will help to ease the workday stress and promote our physical and mental health.
Cleaning the house regularly is the first thing we should do. It may seem like a tiring thing to clean but there is a reason for doing so. We can remove dust by cleaning the house. Leaving layers of dust everywhere means that there is a build-up of dust. And where do these layers of dust go?________
Making sure the rooms are full of sunlight is also important. We may not realize it but sunlight is an important part of our growth. We all know that sunlight promotes better working conditions. ________ Think about using a Parans system where sunlight does not reach. This technology gathers the sunlight by using solar panels. It can send out sunlight wherever we are.
________ Going green will help to remove toxins(毒素)in the air. They also give off oxygen, which can lower stress and improve our moods.
Along the lines of being green, it can also be vital to think about what things we are bringing into the house. Try to avoid specific plastics that are harmful to health. ________ They may contain poisonous chemicals that can be breathed in, or simple absorbed through the skin.
A. However, is it as healthy as it can be?
B. Is our home as comfortable as it used to be?
C. Into our lungs.。
