常州市中考英语英语任务型阅读理解试题(附答案)(1)
一、英语任务型阅读
1．根据短文内容，回答下列问题。

The population of the world continues to increase, but in some areas the population is falling. This is true in Europe and especially in Eastern Europe. In Russia, the population is going down by about 100 people EVERY HOUR! Russia's population could fall by ONE THIRD by the year 2050! And in Poland (波兰) the population is also going down because people are leaving to work in other countries.
One of the main reasons is a change of lifestyle. All over Europe people, especially educated women, have a different attitude(态度) to children than their parents. "I have one child and she is enough for me," said Galina Tereschkova, a doctor from Moscow. "My husband and I both work full—time. We can't imagine having more than one child." Many women decide to have children later in life or not to have children at all. "I don't want to have any children until I have worked for at least 10 years," said 19-year-old student Hana Markova from Prague. Her opinion is typical of 18~24 year old women everywhere in Europe.
In Poland, the population is going down for a different reason. A lot of people, usually aged between 20 and 30, are leaving the country to work abroad. Poland joined the European Union in 2005 and since then more than half a million people have moved to Britain, Germany, Spain and Italy. Even so, the population of those four countries and many other countries in West Europe is also going down.
Many governments are now encouraging people to have larger families. In France, women now receive nearly $1,000 a month for a year if they have a third child. Austrian women receive $700 a month for three years when they have their first child.
（1）Where in the world is the population getting smaller?
（2）How many children does Galina Tereschkova want to have?
（3）What does Hana Markova want to do before she has children?
（4）Why is the population in Poland going down?
（5）How does the French government encourage people to have larger families now?
【答案】（1）In Europe and especially in Eastern Europe.
（2）One.
（3）She wants to work for at least 10 years.
（4）Because a lot of people, usually aged between 20 and 30, are leaving Poland to work abroad./ The change of lifestyle.
（5）By giving women nearly $1000 a month for a year if they have a third child.
2．阅读下文并回答问题。

In Jinzhong, Shanxi Province, there is a group of people who are busy drawing maps around. They are not workers on geography, but dispatchers(调度员) on Emergency(急救) Center of the city.
Since 2007, the dispatchers in the center have been drawing maps of the local areas.
"A dispatcher's job is counted in seconds," says Liang Ruimei, a dispatcher in the center. She has been working in the center since it started in 2007. "We must answer the phone in 3 seconds, get clear information about the patient in 60 seconds and dispatch(调度) emergency medical workers in 3 minutes at most. If we save one second, the patient may have a better chance to live."
Although nowadays the center has electronic maps, the dispatchers still walk through the streets to draw maps by hand.
After many years' hard work, the dispatchers keep every building and street of the city in mind. They even know whether or not a car can enter the gate of a building. Sometimes the caller can't tell clearly where he is, but it doesn't matter. As long as he describes the buildings around, the dispatcher can dispatch emergency medical workers to him.
"We are trying to be quicker than Death," says Liang.
（1）Is Liang Ruimei a dispatcher in Emergency Center of Jinzhong?
（2）When did Emergency Center of Jinzhong start?
（3）To be quicker than Death, what do the dispatchers in Emergency Center of Jinzhong do? （4）Do you think it necessary for dispatchers to draw maps by hand when they have electronic maps? Why or why not?
【答案】（1）Yes, she is.
（2）In 2007.
（3）They remember every corner of the city through hand-made maps, and dispatch emergency medical workers to the right place as soon as possible.
（4）Yes. Because maps by hand show small facts of the city more correctly and electronic maps may not work sometimes.
No. Because electronic maps are easier to use and can show the latest road situation.

Have you ever asked your relatives or friends if there is Wi-Fi in their houses? Have you ever searched for Wi-Fi when you are at restaurants or hotels? The answers will probably be "Yes". Most of us want Wi-Fi everywhere as if we can't live without it. But we can only use free Wi-Fi in some public places. We still have to spend some money accessing(连接)the Internet at most time. Here comes a piece of good news.
A rich, powerful organization in the USA called the Media Development Investment Fund (MDIF) has decided to change the age of online computing (计算) completely by giving free Wi-Fi to every person on Earth. They will send up hundreds of satellites into low Earth orbit(轨道)in 2015.
This is because they have made a survey and found that only 60% of the world's population have been able to get information on the Internet. And this is also because many countries are unable to offer people the necessary infrastructure(基础设施)to access the web.
We can expect to use free Wi-Fi everywhere in the near future.
