一、高中英语任务型阅读
1．任务型阅读
Asthma(哮喘) is a long-lasting breathing disease that affects millions of Americans, many of whom are children. People who get asthma will suffer from lack of breath, difficulty in breathing or coughing--which are caused by the tightening of the muscles in airways. Untreated asthma can lead to poor lung function and death, but asthma can also be effectively controlled with proper treatments.
Research is discovering genes that contribute to the development of asthma. This development has pointed researchers to the role of indoor and outdoor pollution as environmental factors that contribute to the increased occurrence of asthma.
The Indoor Pollution
Indoor pollution has increased with the developments in building materials and in heating and air conditioning systems. In addition to poisonous gases that come from paint, other materials like dust and perfumes used in household products such as washing powder are recycled continuously through the house, winter and summer.
Unlike the days before central heating or before whole-house air conditioning, these materials and chemicals cannot get out of modern homes. Most often, they cause breathing problems in the members of the family with the least-developed autoimmune(自身免疫的) systems. Proper venting (通风) and use of environmentally-friendly building materials and carpeting can help reduce the presence of these chemicals.
The Outdoor pollution
Researchers have also established outdoor pollution's role as a probable cause of asthma. Asthma has been proven to result from some fuel products. Smog and the small matters carried by it have been recognized as a factor which leads to asthma since the 19th century when London saw more and more diseases in the industrial population. Industrial pollutants and other chemicals which are produced in water treatment and open treated water like that found in the swimming pools also contribute to increased cases of asthma as well as other illnesses.
Those most affected by the increase of industrial and environmental pollution are children. Although much has been done to control the levels of pollution in the US, there still remains much to do as it is a worldwide phenomenon. Until an international effort can be made to limit carbon emissions, the occurrence of environmental asthma will probably continue to increase.

【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，分析了哮喘产生的原因，从室内污染和室外污染两个方面来进行阐述。

（1）考查信息归纳的能力。

从题干结合文章内容，本文讨论了哮喘和空气污染的关系，从中文“关系，联系”出发，答案范围广。

故填relationship／relation／connection／association／link。

（2）考查信息归纳的能力。

结合第一段对哮喘发病情况的解释，可选择出总结词“症状”。

故填symptoms。

（3）考查信息归纳的能力。

由文中的“Untreated asthma can le ad to poor lung function and death,”可知，这里是指“结果”。

故填consequences／results／effects。

（4）考查信息归纳的能力。

根据原文第二段“This development has pointed researchers to the role of indoor and outdoor pollution as environmental factors that contribute to the increased occurrence of asthma.，”结合题目后面indoor pollution 和outdoor pollution得知，这里是讲导致哮喘病增加的因素。

故填Factors 。

（5）考查信息归纳的能力。

原文用的是“indoor pollution has increased with”结构，其实就是因果关系，所以这里是被动结构。

故填caused/ increased。

（6）考查信息归纳的能力。

对原文in addition to进行替换，表示“除了，还包括”的意思。

故填Besides。

（7）考查信息归纳的能力。

原文“these materials and chemicals cannot get out of modern homes”指的是这些材料并没有随时间消失，一直存在。

故填remain/ stay。

（8）考查信息归纳的能力。

根据原文倒数第二段中的“saw more and more diseases in the industrial population. Industrial pollutants and other chemicals which are produced in water treatment and open treated water like that found in the swimming pools also contribute to increased cases of asthma as well as other illnesses.，”可知是越来越多的疾病。

故填increased/ increasing。

（9）考查信息归纳的能力。

根据“saw more and more diseases in the industrial populatio n.
Industrial pollutants and other chemicals which are produced in water treatment and open treated water like that found in the swimming pools also contribute to increased cases of asthma as well as other illnesses.”可知，这类污染物对人体有害，会导致疾病。

故填harmful。

（10）考查信息归纳的能力。

根据最后一段中的“Until an international effort can be made to limit carbon emissions, the occurrence of environmental asthma will probably continue to increase.，”可知是需要各个国家的通力合作才能阻止碳排放量，prevent/stop/ keep/be away/ be free/ free… from doing表示“阻止”固定搭配，表示否定含义。

原题中有can be所以后面用过去分词表示被动，故填prevented/stopped/ kept/ away/ free/ freed。

【点评】本题涉及信息归纳能力的考查，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语法知识，从而写出正确答案。

2．请认真阅读下面短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。

There's a contradiction in the way many of us behave online: we know we're being watched all the time, and disapprove of the monitor by Google and the government. But the bounds of what's considered too personal to be uploaded or shared online seems to shrink by the day.
I complain about the lack of privacy, for example, and yet I willingly and routinely trade it for convenience. I no longer run the risk of unforeseen delays on public transport; Google Maps will inform me of the fastest route to my destination; I no longer need to remember my friends' birthdays; Facebook will urge me, and invariably appeal to me to post an update to remind people I exist. All I have to do is make my location, habits and beliefs transparent to their parent companies whenever they choose to check in on me.
So what's going on? “Visibility is a trap,” explained the French philosopher Michel Foucault in Discipline and Punish: the Birth of the Prison(1975). Allowing oneself to be watched, and learning to watch others, is both attractive and dangerous. He took for example “Panopticon”, a pris on where prisoners were observed from a tower manned by an invisible occupant. The prisoners would believe in the presence of the mysterious watchman, whether or not anyone was actually inside, and behave themselves.
According to Foucault, the dynamics of the Panopticon are similar to how generally people self-monitor in society. In the presence of ever-watching witness, people police themselves. They don't know what the observers are looking for, or what the punishments are for disobedience (不顺从). But they willingly accept and follow this invisible discipline.
Foucault claimed that such monitoring is worrisome, not just because of what companies and states might do with our data, but because the act of watching is itself a terrible exercise of power, which may influence behavior without our fully realizing it.
But something's not right here. Why does the self-display continue when we are sure that we are watched from everywhere and nowhere?
Social media provides a public space that often operates more like a private one, where many people hold the belief that there they won't suffer the consequences of what they say online, as if protected by technology.
Plato would be alarmed by the lack of shame online. His point about moral knowledge is this:
we already know the right way to live a just and fulfilling life, but are constantly distracted(转移) from that noble aim. For him, then, shame helps us be true to ourselves and to pay attention to the moral knowledge within. A man without shame, Plato says, is a slave to desire — for material goods, power, fame, respect. Such desire, by its nature, cannot be satisfied.
Phenomenon While people hate being monitored, the ________ of privacy is gradually becoming a more serious problem.
My experience I complain about the lack of privacy but still exchange it for convenience.
convenience* I ________ on Google maps for the fastest route to
avoid delays on public transport.
* Facebook will remind me of my friends' birthdays, and
appeal to me to be updated.
cost I must make my ________ information available to
relevant companies.
Michel Foucault's explanations Idea: Visibility is a trap.
An analogy:
* In the Panopticon, prisoners behave themselves just because they believed they were watched by an ________ watchman.
* In real life, the way people self-monitor ________ the dynamics of the Panopticon. They willingly follow the invisible discipline.
Worries: Our data may be ________ and monitoring may influence us to change our behavior ________.
Reasons for contraction Though being watched, self-display continues because some netizens think that they don't need to take ________ for what they say online.
Conclusion*Shame is essential in leading a just and fulfilling life.
*Shame helps us stay true to ourselves and focus on our ________.
*Shame can ________ us being a slave to desires for fame and fortune.
【答案】 invasion /violation /leak /lack
；depend /rely /count
；private /personal
；invisible
；resembles
；abused/ misused
；unconsciously
；responsibility
；morality /moral(s)
；prevent/stop
【解析】【分析】本文是一篇议论文，我们所有网上的行为都被监视，虽然网络给我们带来了便利，但隐私的泄露却给我带来了很大的影响。

很多人尽管知道自己的行为被监视，却仍然在网上我行我素，认为自己的行为不会带来严重的后果，文章认为这主要是因为缺少羞耻心。

（1）考查同义转换。

根据第一段中的“There's a contradiction in the way many of us behave online: we know we're being watched all the time, and disapprove of the monitor by Google and the government.”可知当我们上网的时候，我们的行为都收到了监视。

我们的隐私被泄露了，而且这已经成为一个有利于严重的问题。

所以本句要填名词invasion /violation /leak /lack。

（2）考查同义转换。

根据第二段中的“Google Maps will inform me of the fastest route to my destination”可知我依靠Google地图可以寻找到最快的路线。

所以句中要填depend /rely /count。

（3）考查同义转换。

根据第二段中的“All I have to d o is make my location, habits and beliefs transparent to their parent companies whenever they choose to check in on me.”可知如果我想得到便利，必须要把我的私人信息上传到相关的网站上。

所以句中要填private /personal。

（4）考查原词再现。

根据第三段中的“He took for example “Panopticon”, a prison where prisoners we re observed from a tower manned by an invisible occupant.”可知这所监狱里的囚犯行为得体主要是因为他们一直认为有他们看不见的人在监视着他们，句中出现了原词“invisible”，所以句中要填invisible。

（5）考查同义转换。

根据第四段中的“According to Foucault, the dynamics of the Panopticon are similar to how generally people self-monitor in society.”可知现实生活里的人和监狱里的人一样，他们都认为有看不见的人在监视着他们，所以他们的举止得体。

句中使用动词resemble与原句中be similar to语义一致，句中主语是单数名词the way，所以要填resembles。

（6）考查句意理解。

根据第五段“…not just because of what companies and states might do with our data…”可知我们的隐私可能会被有关公司滥用，而我们自己却一点也不清楚。

所以句中要填abused/ misused。

（7）考查同义转换。

根据第五段最后“which may influence behavior without our fully realizing it.”可知这是在我们没有完全意识到的情况下对我们的行为会有影响。

句中使用副词unconsciously替换介词短语“without our fully realizing it”，所以要填unconsciously。

（8）考查句意理解。

根据倒数第二段中的“where many people hold the belief tha t there they won't suffer the consequences of what they say online, as if protected by technology.”可知虽然很多人知道网络行为被监视，但他们仍然认为自己不会承担不好的结果。

所以句中要填responsibility。

（9）考查句意理解。

根据倒数第三句“For him, then, shame helps us be true to ourselves and to pay attention to the m oral knowledge within.”可知羞耻感会让人们保持真实性，并关注内心的道德。

句中要填名词承担focus on的宾语，所以要填morality /moral(s)。

（10）考查句意理解。

根据倒数第二句“A man without shame, Plato says, is a slave to desire —for material goods, power, fame, respect.”可知柏拉图认为没有羞耻感的人会成为欲望的奴
隶。

说明羞耻感可以阻止人们被欲望奴役。

所以句中要填prevent/stop。

【点评】本题考点涉及同义转换，原词再现和句意理解等题型的考查，要求考生准确掌握所给材料内容，结合相关的词汇知识和词汇知识，写出正确的答案。

3．（2018•浙江）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。

Moving into a new home in a new neighborhood is an exciting experience. Of course, you want to make sure that you become an accepted and valuable part of your new neighborhood. The easiest way to accomplish this is to make sure you conduct yourself as a good neighbor should.________
Perhaps one of the most important things you can do as a good neighbor is to keep your property(房产) neat, clean, and in good repair. ________By choosing to keep the outside of the home in great shape, you will help to improve the look and feel of the area.
Second, take the overall appearance of the neighborhood seriously. When going for a walk. Take along a small garbage bag. ________This small act will let your neighbors know that you care about the area.
________ If a neighbor is going to be out of town, offer to collect mail and newspapers. If a neighbor suffers an illness, offer to do the grocery shopping. Let them know you are there to help in any way this acceptable, while still respecting the privacy of your neighbor.
________By following the basic rules of respecting others, taking care of what belongs to you, and taking pride in the appearance of the neighborhood in general, you will quickly become a good neighbor that everyone appreciates.
【解析】【分析】这是一篇说明文，介绍了乔迁新居后更好更快地融入新社区的四大策略：如保持清洁卫生、做个热情的有心人等。

⑴G 此处是承上启下的句子，即呼应上一句“确保你做一个好邻居应该做的事”，后概括下文“做一个好邻居应该注意那些技巧”，故答案为G。

⑵F 根据下文强调的outside of the home，联系到上文keep your property(房产) neat, clean, and in good repair，所以此处谈论如从外观上让邻居接受你，故答案为F。

⑶E 前文的small garbage bag是为了“pick up waste paper”准备的，后一句的This small act就是指捡废纸的这一举动，故答案为E。

⑷B 此处是本段的主题句，后一句中的offer to collect mail and newspapers正是帮助邻居做一些小事情的表现，所以答案为B。

⑸C 此处是本段的主题句，后一句中的respecting others, taking care of what belongs to you, and taking pride in the appearance of the neighborhood 均是considerate behaviors，故答案为C。

【点评】这是一篇说明文，重在考查上下文之间的逻辑关系，答题时首先浏览文章主旨，并理解各个选项所表达的含义。

然后再读短文，选出最能使上下文语义通顺的选项，注意段落大意，空格前后的关键词等信息，完成后要通读一篇，看语义是否通顺，是否符合逻辑，必要的话做适当修改。

8．任务型阅读
Why doesn't the conductor face the audience?________As the only person with his back to the audience, the conductor is a figure who is bathed in the spotlight, but his complex work requires a high degree of musical skill, as well as an ability to extract what he desires out of the group of artists he leads--his orchestra.
