重庆市铜梁县第一中学高考英语任务型阅读习题及答案

一、高中英语任务型阅读
1．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.

【解析】【分析】本文是一篇议论文，讨论了为什么公共汽车不配带安全带的问题，列出了两种原因：一个原因是公共汽车上的座椅具有安全气囊的作用；另一个原因是公共汽车安装安全带费用太高。

(1)考查细节理解。

根据第一段中的”It is now mandatory(强制)for drivers or passengers to wear seatbelts while in a car in all states.“可知，每个人在汽车上都需要带安全带，require与主语Everyone之间是动宾关系。

故填required。

(2)考查逻辑推理。

根据第一段中的”why don't buses have seatbelts?“可知，下文讲述为什么公共汽车上没有安全带的原因。

由Topic与The rules可推断，首字母大写，故填Reasons。

(3)考查细节理解。

根据第二段中的”The main answer, at least for school buses, is that seatbelts do not make school buses safer.“可知，在公共汽车上，至少在校车上，佩戴安全带并不是更安全的，也就是戴不戴安全带没有影响。

make no difference固定短语“没有影响；不起作用”。

故填difference。

(4)考查细节理解。

根据第二段中的”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.“可知，公共汽车的座位靠得很近，座椅有高高的厚厚的椅背，发生在事故时，学生向前撞到椅背上，就像是撞到安全气囊上，可以保护学生避免危险。

can后接动词原形。

故填protect。

(5)考查细节理解。

根据第二段中的”In addition, the fact that people sit high off the ground on school buses also makes it safer to travel on them.“可知，在校车上坐得很高也增添了安全性。

动名词作主语谓语动词用单数，add to固定短语“增添”和contribute to固定短语“有助于”都符合语境。

故填adds/contributes。

(6)考查细节理解。

根据第三段中的”Also, given that most trips on city buses are short…”可知，城市公交运行的距离短。

a short distance“短距离”。

故填distance。

(7)考查细节理解。

根据第三段中的“…that many trips have standing passengers, the presence of seatbelts will make even less of a difference.”可推断，城市公交有许多乘客站着，让安全带没有必要。

故填unnecessary。

(8)考查细节理解。

根据第四段中的“It is estimated that adding seatbelts to buses would add between $8,000 and $15,000 to the cost of each bus.”可知，安装安全带导致费用提高。

result
in固定短语“导致”，故填result。

(9)考查细节理解。

根据第四段中的“In addition, seatbelts would take up room cu rrently used as seats, meaning that each bus would have fewer seating places.”可知，安全带占用公共汽车上的空间，限制了座位的数量。

介词后接动名词，故填occupying。

(10)考查细节理解。

根据最后一段内容可知，所有的公共汽车都为司机提供安全带，用来避免碰撞的影响。

故填avoid。

【点评】本题要求考生在理解细节信息的基础上，进一步通过上下文的联系，通过逻辑推理，填上合适的单词。

2．阅读下面材料，按照题目要求用英语回答问题。

The autumn wind woke me up from my dream. I took a deep breath and looked around. Suddenly I saw two people approaching me. As there was no one else in the park, they caught my attention immediately.
The two people were getting closer and I heard them laughing. At first, this laugh made me annoyed as if they had broken my unity with this park and disturbed my thoughts. But all of a sudden, I noticed the age of them — they were old. I could not clearly identify their age, but the woman looked as old as my grandmother. She had grey hair, blue eyes, and a smile on her face. And all the time she was looking at HIM...
"Jim, I think we should change the park. It's the same every Saturday. You know..." "Sus! Hug me."— that was all he said. He looked at her, smiled and gave her a hug.
At this very moment, I saw an old but strong man who knew his wife, and no matter how often she could be complaining, he loved her! I imagined the many things they might go through together — so many hardships that might make them cry, all the problems that they might be experiencing right now and the probability that one of them would outlive the other. And the one that outlives will think the life they spent together was the most beautiful period of their life.
They left, and I was sitting on my bench, shocked, and I had a special feeling in my heart. This feeling was hope! The old couple with all the complaints and tons of mistakes behind their backs made me realize that it was happiness that mattered in life. Eventually, all people would get old and die, and what made a difference was the person you had dedicated your life to. I made a wish — waking up one day, being old and feeling proud of being together with the person I loved to overcome all the obstacles ( 障碍) and fight for happiness.
（1）Why did the author become angry at the old couple's laugh? (no more than 15 words) （2）Why did the old couple look at each other all the time? (no more than 10 words)
（3）What was the author doing at that moment in Paragraph 4? (no more than 20 words) （4）What does the underlined word "dedicated" mean in the last paragraph? (1 word)
（5）How do you like the old couple? What can you learn from the passage? Please express it in your own words. (no more than 20 words)
【答案】（1）Because it had broken his unity with the park and disturbed his thoughts.
（2）Because they loved each other deeply.
（3）The author was wondering what made the old couple love each other so much/The author
was imagining what the old couple might have gone through in life and made them love each other deeply.
（4）Devoted/ Give entirely.
（5）I think they are admirable/ encouraging/ a good example for us!We should cherish people who love us and fight for happiness with them together.
【解析】【分析】本文是一篇议论文，作者通过记叙公园的一对彼此深爱的老夫妻而引发了自己对于追求幸福，克服所有障碍和自己爱的人在一起的感悟。

（1）考查细节理解。

根据第二段中的“At first, this laugh made me annoyed as if they had broken my unity with this park and disturbed my thoughts.”可知作者对那对老夫妇的笑声感到生气，因为它们破坏了作者与这个公园的统一，扰乱了他的思绪。

（3）考查细节理解。

根据第四段中的“I imagined the many things they might go through together — so many hardships that might make them cry, all the problems that they might be experiencing right now and the probability that one of them would outlive the other.”可知作者想象着他们可能一起经历的许多事情——那么多的困难可能会让他们哭泣，他们现在可能正在经历的所有问题，以及他们其中一个活得比另一个更长的可能性。

即作者是在思考是什么使这对老夫妇如此相爱。

故填The author was wondering what made the old couple love each other so much.或The author was imagining what the old couple might have gone through in life and made them love each other deeply.
（4）考查词义猜测。

根据上文“Eventually, all people would get old and die, and what made a difference was the person you had”可知最终，所有的人都会变老并死去，而真正起作用的是和你相伴一生的人，你为之奉献一生的人。

故可推测划线部分单词意思为"奉献"。

故填Devoted/ Give entirely.。

（5）本题为开放性题目，言之有理即可。

故填I think they are admirable/ encouraging/ a good example for us!（我认为他们是值得钦佩的/鼓舞的/为我们树立了一个好榜样!）或We should cherish people who love us and fight for happiness with them together.（我们应该珍惜爱我们的人，和他们一起为幸福而奋斗。

Ready for final year
Even though they're anxiously awaiting their gaokao, Senior 3 students feel relieved after having survived their busiest year of high school.
Your milestone year begins in just two months, so how can you make the most of it? Here, three graduates offer some practical advice to help you navigate (航行) your final year in the right way.
Sun Hairuo, High School Affiliated to Renmin University of China, Beijing:
Think ahead about your major. Even though some universities allow students to switch to a new major after enrollment, it still involves a lot of effort to do. So while you're preparing for the gaokao, start to consider what field you want to major in at the same time.
When I was aware of my interest in social science, I began to collect information on the internet about what courses I'd like to take in university and what life would be like on campus if I chose this direction. Don't judge a major before you know everything about it, since your entire future depends on it.
Qian Wenjing, Hangzhou Foreign Language School, Zhejiang:
Enjoy a hobby alongside your studies. It's important to get high marks in all subjects, but if you have nothing that can distract you from the piles of homework, you'll have no motivation.
For example, I run a WeChat public account, which you can find by searching for “大嘴小个儿” on WeChat. On it, I share my reflections on life, recommend good books and introduce learning methods to others. I also make videos on how to write an interesting daily journal for the video platform .
So, keep on top of your schoolwork, but make sure you find time to let your hair down sometimes too.
Wang Zixin, Beijing No 4 High School, Beijing:
Create your own system of knowledge using a notebook. In the review stage, find your weak points on every science subject after each exam. Summarize the knowledge behind the errors in your notebook — this will not only identify the problem, but will also save you time when you don't have to spend so long figuring out the answer.
As for liberal arts subjects such as Chinese and English, write down any memorable sentences you come across in your notebook.
And keep it in mind that improvements don't happen right away — it takes time to get better. Ready for final year

5．Directions: Read the passage carefully. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.
The art of academic writing is not easy to master. ________ Academic writing is the skilful exposition and explanation of an argument, which the writer has carefully researched and developed over a sustained period of time. ________ But the joy of reading and sharing with others, one's succinctly composed piece of argument, is incomparable.
Before beginning to write, the writer must ask himself a few questions – Why am I writing? What is it that I intend to share with others? What purpose will my writing serve? Have I read enough about the topic or theme about which I am going to write? ________ Because academic writing is a serious activity – it makes one part of a shared community of readers and writers who wish to disseminate and learn from well-argued pieces of writing.
The structure of an argumentative essay should take the form of – Introduction (which should be around ten percent of the entire essay), Body (it should constitute eighty percent of the piece) and the Conclusion (again, ten per cent of the essay). ________ The body should include cogent and coherently linked paragraphs and the conclusion should re-state the argument and offer a substantial ending to the piece.
A. These questions may well get clearer and clearer during the process of academic writing.
B. The introduction should function as the hook which draws the reader in and holds his attention.
C. It is a formal skill, which requires precision and accuracy, and is perfected by continuous and dedicated practice.
D. If one is hesitant to answer even one of the aforementioned questions, one had better not write at all!
E. It may take one a considerable period of time to know the skills of academic writing, even long after his/her college graduation.
F. It is a time-consuming activity and demands patience and perseverance.
【答案】 C；F；D；B
【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了如何掌握论文写作艺术的几点建议。

（1）考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。

根据空前“The art of academic writing is not easy to master.”可知，论文写作的艺术很难掌握，此处应该介绍论文写作难以掌握的原因，C项中的It指代的就是academic writing，故 C. It is a formal skill, which requires precision and accuracy, and is perfected by continuous and dedicated practice. “它是一种正式的技能，需要精确和准确，并通过持续和专门的时间来完善”符合语境，故选C。

（2）考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。

根据空前“which the writer has carefully researched and developed over a sustained period of time.”可知，论文写作需要作者进行长期的认真研究，此处说的应该还是和花费时间有关的内容，的故 F. It is a time-consuming activity and demands patience and perseverance. “这是一项耗时的活动，需要耐心和毅力”符合语境，故选F。

（3）考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。

本空前提到了一系列的问题，此处承接上文，讲的还是关于那些问题的内容，D项中的the aforementioned questions正好与前面提到的问题相对应，故 D. If one is hesitant to answer even one of the aforementioned questions, one had better not write at all! “如果一个人对回答上述任何一个问题都犹豫不决，他最好不要写”符合语境，故选D。

（4）考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。

根据空前“The structure of an argumentative essay should take the form of – Introduction (which should be around ten percent of the entire essay), Body (it should constitute eighty percent of the piece) and the Conclusion (again, ten per cent of the essay).”可知，论文由引言和正文两部分组成，下文介绍了关于正文的内容，此处讲的应该是关于引言的内容，故B. The introduction should function as the hook which draws the read er in and holds his attention. “引言应该起到吸引读者注意力的作用”符合语境，故选B。

【点评】本题要求在理解细节信息的基础上，着重考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。

6．Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.
Shanghai Hengyuanxiang Drama Development Company and Netherlander Worldwide
Entertainment signed a deal last November that would see Shimmer (《犹太人在上海》) become the first Chinese musical to have an open-ended run on Broadway in 2019. ________
Directed by Xu Jun, Shimmer is a musical in both English and Chinese. Shimmer, which tells a story about Jews who fled to Shanghai to escape Nazi persecution (迫害) during World War II, was first shown at the Shanghai Culture Square in 2015. ________ The musical's scheduled open-ended run in 2019 will be one of the events to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and the United States. With this play being shown on Broadway, the ties between Chinese people and Americans will be firmly strengthened. And through this drama, the audience can feel the charm of Chinese culture.
________ To deal with the problem, many production companies in Shanghai have pointed out that they should keep striving for improvement by creating more Chinese musicals and by creating more audiences. Currently, those who watch Western musicals in China are limited to a small group — people who have received a university education or have had overseas working experiences, white-collar and even gold-collar workers. There are only a handful of people who understand foreign languages and you have to find a way to motivate the public and get them into the theater.
________ There has been a handful of successful musical stories in Shanghai. The Chinese editions of Broadway musicals Cats and Mamma Mia, both of which had hundreds of shows across China, are among the top box office hits.
A. What do you think we can do to prevent Chinese musicals from declining in popularity?
B. At that time, the musical was chosen as the opening show for the 17th China Shanghai International Arts Festival.
C. The box office is expected to be twice higher than that of last year, reaching $1 million in total.
D. The small audience size hasn't discouraged local artists from producing outstanding works.
E. The deal is a milestone for Shimmer in its goal to further spread its influence to the world.
F. Despite the huge success of Shimmer, the team is facing a limited market.
【答案】 E；B；F；D
【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，介绍恒元翔戏剧发展公司将《犹太人在上海》推向国际舞台，尽管获得可巨大的成功，但很多制作公司自身发展,面临着观众少，市场狭窄的问题，与此同当地艺术家仍然在不断创作优秀作品。

（1）考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。

根据空前“Shanghai Hengyuanxiang Drama Development Company and Netherlander Worldwide Entertainment signed a deal last November that would see Shimmer (《犹太人在上海》) become the first Chinese musical to have an open-ended run on Broadway in 2019.”可知，上海恒元翔戏剧发展公司和尼德兰全球娱乐公司去年11月签署了一项协议，将使《犹太人在上海》成为中国第一部在2019年在百老汇公开上映的音乐剧。

所以小题1要说明这项协议给《犹太人在上海》带来的影响和意义。

E. The deal is a milestone for Shimmer in its goal to further spread its influence to the world.“该协议是《犹太人在上海》进一步将其影响力扩大到世界的目标的一个里程碑”符合题意。

故选E。

（2）考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。

根据空后“The musical's scheduled open-ended run in 2019 will be one of the events to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the establishment of
diplomatic relations between China and United States”可知，这部音乐剧定于2019年公开上映，将是庆祝中美建交40周年的活动之一。

《犹太人在上海》不是第一次上映，所以判断出小题2要说明它在2015年因为什么而上映的。

B. At that time, the musical was chosen as the opening show for the 17th China Shanghai International Arts Festival.“当时，这部音乐剧被选为第十七届中国上海国际艺术节的开幕式上表演。

”符合题意。

故选B。

（3）考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。

由第三段的内容可知，第三段主要介绍了上海的许多制作公司通过创作更多的中国音乐剧和吸引更多的观众来不断努力改进自己的作品，以及观众群体的局限性。

这都说明尽管《犹太人在上海》取得了巨大的成功，但团队仍面临着有限的市场。

所以判断出小题3是本段的标题。

F. Despite the huge success of Shimmer, the team is facing a limited market.“尽管《犹太人在上海》取得了巨大的成功，但团队仍面临着有限的市场”为本段的标题。

故选F。

（4）考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。

根据空后“there has been a handful of successful musical stories in Shanghai. The Chinese editions of Broadway musicals Cats and Mamma Mia, both of which had hundreds of shows across China, are among the top box office hits. ”可知上海有一些成功的音乐故事。

百老汇音乐剧《猫》和《妈妈咪呀》的中国版在中国各地都有数百场演出，都是票房冠军。

所以这里具体列举了很多百老汇音乐剧的中国版都取得了不错的票房，意在说明观众人数少并没有妨碍当地艺术家创作优秀作品。

所以此处要起到总说的作用，然后在进行解释说明。

D. The small audience size hasn't discouraged local artists from producing outstanding works.“观众人数少并没有妨碍当地艺术家创作优秀作品”符合句意。

故选D。

【点评】本题要求在理解细节信息的基础上，着重考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。

7．阅读下面短文，回答问题。

I am a member at the Blue Ridge Mountains Writers Conference. This is the conference where I got my start about 15 years ago, so it feels special whenever I go back there.
I usually teach multiple sessions, host a table at meals where I can talk with conferees, and often have about 40-50 private appointments with attendees. I take great pleasure in giving my personal advice on the beginners' writing journey after listening to their puzzlement.
And then I realized something, as I looked across the room and saw AI Gansky and Eva Marie Everson whom I'd had private appointments with many years ago when I was one of the conferees. The only reason I am a member there now is because countless people like them have invested in me. As a new writer, I once expressed my book ideas to Al and Eva, and they encouraged me a lot. Award-winning authors Yvonne Lehman and Steven James welcomed me to their group and shared their knowledge. And Edie, Vonda, Linda, Lynette, Michelle and so many others became my writing friends, offering encouragement and support along the way. I'd never have made it on this journey without them.
Last week, I was invited to experience the life in the countryside with some writer friends. I refused the invitation at first. I was away from home a lot because of the numerous book releases and conferences. I felt so exhausted that I just wanted to stay at home. However, my sweet husband said, "Honey, why don't you go? It will be good for you. It can be a great source of
inspiration for you." I'd never have made it without the support of this precious man who's been my chief encourager. It moves me to tears to think about all the times he's cleaned the kitchen, folded the laundry, taken care of our children and lugged my suitcases to the car so I can chase my dreams.
I wouldn't be where I am today without all the supportive people and I want to give them a much-deserved shout-out today.
（1）What does the author enjoy doing at the Blue Ridge Mountains Writers Conference? (No more than 9 words)
（2）How do you understand the underlined sentence in Paragraph 3? (No more than 10 words) （3）Why did the author refuse the invitation? (No more than 7 words)
（4）What did the author's husband do to support her? (No more than 10 words)
（5）Is there anyone who helps you to follow your dream? What does he/ she do? (No more than 20 words)
【答案】（1）Sharing her writing experience with the beginners.
Or: She enjoys giving advice to the beginners on writing.
Or: Giving her personal advice on the beginners' writing journey.
（2）Many people have encouraged and supported her.
Or: Many people try to make me successful.
Or: Many people have encouraged and supported me to write.
（3）Because the busy work made her exhausted.
Or: She was busy and felt exhausted.
（4）He encouraged her and helped her look after the family.
