江苏扬州大学附属中学高考英语专题复习任务型阅读(附答案)
一、高中英语任务型阅读
1．任务型阅读
“Urgent action required”, “Do you still want to hear from us?”, “We've updated our privacy policy”, “Should we stop sending you updates? If not, act now!”
Many of us will have received emails like this during the past few weeks. Triggering this flood of emails is something called GDPR that comes into effect in just under two weeks' time. Often the emails warn that if you don't respond, you will be removed from the company's database, which raises a lot of questions. What action, if any, do you need to take? Could it affect you financially? GDPR, which stands for General Data Protection Regulation, has been described as the biggest overhaul（彻底检查）of online privacy since the birth of the internet. It is designed to give all EU citizens the right to know what data is stored on them and to have it deleted, plus protect them from privacy breaches（破坏）. It comes into effect on 25 May.
The new rules encourage the requirement for explicit and informed consent before data is processed. As a result, companies and organizations around the world are contacting users to check they are happy to carry on receiving their emails.
However, many of us seem to be going down with “GDPR fatigue（厌倦）”: one article last week claimed that the “reconfirmation rate” - the proportion of people saying they want to continue receiving a company's emails - at UK micro-businesses was averaging just 10%, which meant “they could lose 90% of their subscribers - the life-blood for their business”. So it's no wonder some firms have adopted policies such as offering to enter people into a prize draw in return for them going in and updating their communication preferences.
The average adult is said to have about 100 “data relationships” —companies and organizations that hold our personal data. Meanwhile, the reason why the company that occasionally emails you newsletters is now asking for your consent is perhaps because you never explicitly gave it permission to send you stuff. Maybe you only get its emails because you went to an event it organized ages ago or you once downloaded something from its website. Under the new regime, that almost certainly wouldn't count as explicit and informed consent, hence it's getting in touch now.
The bottom line is that if it is a company or organization that you want to continue hearing from, you should probably click the button or log in to ensure you keep getting its emails. If it doesn't hear from you, it may decide to take you off its database.
protection/respect；response(s)/reaction(s)；unwilling/reluctant；prize/bonus；consent/permission/approval/agreement；unintentionally/unpurposely/indeliberately/undesignedly/unconsciously
【解析】【分析】本文是一篇新闻报道，介绍了人们对GDPR邮件的反应以及公司会采用的一些对应措施。

(1)考查推理判断。

根据第二段中的“Often the emails warn that if you don't respond, you will be removed from the company's database”，根据该句可知，垃圾邮件威胁要将我们从公司数据库中删除。

故该空填动词“威胁”：threaten。

threaten to do固定短语，“威胁要做某事”，故填threaten。

(2)考查推理判断，根据第二段中的“What action, if any, do you need to take? Could it affect you financially?”可知，垃圾邮件引发了收件人的一些担心。

该空在系动词之后，应填形容词“担心的”作表语，故填concerned/worried/anxious。

(3)考查推理判断。

根据第三段中的“It is designed to…”可知，该段介绍的是GDPR的目的，该空位于定冠词the之后，故该空应填名词“目的”，因此答案为goals/aims/purposes/functions。

(4)考查细节理解。

根据第三段中的“It is designed to give all EU citizens the right to know what data is stored on them and to have it deleted”可知，GDPR的目的之一就是给所有欧盟公民了解哪些数据可以储存，哪些数据可以删除的权利，故该空填right。

(5)考查信息归纳。

根据第三段中的“protect them from privacy breaches”可知，GDPR可以保护欧盟公民不受侵犯隐私的伤害。

该空做require的宾语，故应填名词，答案为protection(保护)/respect(尊重)。

(6)考查信息归纳。

第五段主要介绍了收到此类邮件的人们的反应以及一些公司采取的相应政策。

该空在定冠词the之后，故填名词，答案为response(s)(回应)/reaction(s)(反应)。

(7)考查推理判断。

根据第五段中的“the proportion of people saying they want to continue receiving a company's emails - at UK micro-businesses was averaging just 10%, which meant they
could lose 90% of their subscribers - the life-blood for their business”可知，大部分人都不愿意收到这样的邮件，该空做are的表语，故应填形容词，答案为unwilling/reluctant。

(8)考查细节理解。

根据倒数第三段中的“So it's no wonder some firms have adopted policies such as offering to enter people into a prize draw in return for them going in and updating their communication preferences”可知，有一些公司会采纳一些政策，例如：如果人们进入，公司会给人们提供一个奖品。

故该空应填名词prize/bonus(奖)。

(9)考查信息归纳。

根据倒数第二段中的“the company that occasionally emails you newsletters is now asking for your consent is perhaps because you never explicitly gave it permission to send you stuff ”可知，因为你从未明确的允许某个公司给你寄送东西，所有，这个公司现在给你发电子邮件寻求你的许可。

该空做receive的宾语，故应填名词，因此答案为consent/permission/approval/agreement(许可，同意)。

(10)考查推理判断。

根据倒数第二段中的“…you never explicitly gave it permission to send you stuff. Maybe you only get its emails because you went to an event it organized ages ago or you once downloaded something from its website”可知，或许，你只是数年前参加过某公司组织的活动，或者你曾经从该公司的网站上下载了某些东西，你就收到了它的邮件。

但是，你从未允许它给你寄送东西。

总之，你无意间留下的信息并不意味着你允许某公司给你寄送东西。

该空修饰动词leave，且意为“无意地”，故应填副词，答案为unintentionally / unpurposely / indeliberately / undesignedly / unconsciously。

【点评】本题考点涉及推理判断，细节理解和信息归纳三个题型的考查，是一篇生活类阅读，要求考生准确掌握细节信息，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。

2．任务型阅读
Radar（雷达）is an electronic device that detects planes, ships, coastlines, landmarks, and even storm clouds. The name radar comes from the first letters of the words radio direction and ranging. As the human eye uses light waves to see, radar “sees” with radio waves. Without radar, planes could not land safely in bad weather and ships could not move safely in thick fog________ In the 1800s it was discovered that radio waves could be reflected from objects. But scientists did not make great advances in radar research until the 1930s, when the world was threatened by war________It has been used widely in almost every conflict since then.
Echoes make it possible for radar to work. When a beam of radio waves is sent out, it strikes on an object and returns an echo. This echo is picked up by radar and recorded on a screen similar to television screen. On the screen an observer sees a flash, or a blip, that shows the direction and distance of the object________
Airport control towers use radar to guide planes in for safe landings. Almost all large ships depend on radar to prevent collisions with icebergs or other ships________Weather forecasters “see” the size, direction, and speed of storms o n radar screens. Astronomers can even use radar to measure accurately the distance to the moon. Thus, the device has generated major advancements.
________ Huge radar antennas have been installed all over the United States. They guard us
against possible enemy attacks. We have ballistic—missiles (战略导弹)warning systems that can alert us to attacks when missiles are more than 1,000 miles away. Other radar systems warn us against enemy aircraft and even spying space satellites.
A. Police track speeders in radar-equipped cars.
B. These measurements are now highly accurate.
C. The device can be used in a wide range of fields.
D. During World War II many countries used radar effectively.
E. It is therefore especially valuable to shippers and travelers.
F. Today radar is used by commercial airliners and weather forecasters.
G. Strengthening national defense is one of radar's most important functions.
【答案】E；D；B；A；G
【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文。

本文主要讲了雷达的发展历史以及雷达在各个领域的用途。

(1)根据前一句Without radar, planes could not land safely in bad weather and ships could not move safely in thick fog.可知，雷达在飞机和航海中起着巨大的作用，因此，雷达对运货商和旅行者特别有价值，选E。

(2)在上文内容But scientists did not make great advances in radar research until the 1930s, when the world was threatened by war.中捕捉到关键词war，所以空格处的内容会涉及到war，故D项“在第二次世界大战期间，许多国家有效地使用雷达”符合本段内容，选D。

(3)根据前一句On the screen an observer sees a flash, or a blip, that shows the direction and distance of the object.可知，在屏幕上，观察者看到显示物体的方向和距离的闪光或光点，而现在这些测量值已经高度精确了。

故选B。

(4)根据全段Almost all large ships depend on radar to prevent collisions with icebergs or other ships. ___4___Weather forecasters “see” the size, direction, and speed of storms on radar screens. Astronomers can even use radar to measure accurately the distance to the moon.可知，这一段主要讲了雷达在各个领域的用途，故选A。

(5)根据后文Huge radar antennas have been installed all over the United States. They guard us against possible enemy attacks. We have ballistic—missiles (战略导弹)warning systems that can alert us to attacks when missiles are more than 1,000 miles away. Other radar systems warn us against enemy aircraft and even spying space satellites.可知，这一段主要讲了雷达在国防领域的重要作用，故选G。

【点评】文章介绍了雷达的起源和它的应用领域。

通篇来看，文章首段说明雷达名称的由来并总述它的应用领域；再分别叙述雷达的历史起源，作用原理以及在不同领域的应用。

文章出题考查了一道段首题、两道段中题、两道段尾题。

3．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.
________A person may become a conductor without graduating from the conducting department of a music school or studying in any kind of conductor's training program. However, becoming the conductor of a famous orchestra requires a great deal more than what is needed merely to join an orchestra.
________These naturally examine a conductor's technique and musical interpretation while he conducts an orchestra through a prepared piece of music, but they also involve a sight-reading element________The conductor then has to sit in a room and memorize the piece before coming out and leading the orchestra through the piece by memory. Not only does the conductor have to make his arm and hand motion properly, and signal all the entrances of each instrument, he has to point out intentional mistakes made by the orchestra members on the spot.
The least capabilities a conductor must have are: The ability to memorize an entire score. A good ear for distinguishing correct notes among the music of the entire orchestra.________
Of the conductors that meet these requirements, those with better musical insight and a higher level of charisma(魅力) will succeed.
A. The need for a common musical standard becomes necessary
B. The ability to lead a group of professional musicians
C. There are many conducting competitions
D. For this, the score of music is given to the conductor on site
E. This is how the role of the conductor came to be established
F. The role of the conductor is in fact not well understood
G. There are no examinations for becoming a conductor
【答案】F；G；C；D；B
【解析】【分析】为什么指挥不面向观众？本文就这一话题展开介绍了乐队的指挥总是背对着观众的原因，以及成为一名乐队指挥需要哪些方面的能力等。

故答案为F。

(2)根据本空后面的“A person may become a conductor without graduating from the conducting department of a music school or studying in any kind o f conductor's training program”可知，乐队的指挥不需要毕业于专业的音乐学校或经过相关的训练，与G项的“不用考试”一致。

故答案为G。

(3)根据空格后面的“These naturally examine a conductor's technique and musical interpretation while he conducts an orchestra through a prepared piece of music”，这里的These指的是C项中的competitions。

故答案为C。

(4)根据后面的“The conductor then has to sit in a room and memorize the piece”，即把音乐的总谱现场给乐队指挥，然后指挥需要现场记忆。

故答案为D。

(5)与前面的“The ability to memorize an entire score”中的ability是并列的。

故答案为B。

Life on a Ship
We three children were very excited when we walked up the gangway (舷梯) of the British flagship China Star and saw officers, crew and staff rushing around. A Chinese housekeeper led the way and helped Uncle Jean and Aunt Reine with our luggage. Victor, Claudine and I lagged behind. The housekeeper was tall and thin and towered over everyone. ________ As we followed him down a narrow corridor towards our cabins, Victor whispered to me, "One thing about having no hair at all on your head, you always look neat!"
Though I was still feeling nervous and tongue-tied because it had only been three days since Aunt Reine took me out of St. Joseph's, I laughed out loud. That was the effect Victor had on people. ________ "Boys to the right and girls to the left," said Uncle Jean. Our two cabins were directly opposite each other. Inside, everything was neat, bare and clean. While Aunt Reine, Claudine and I were unpacking, there was a knock on the door.
Victor stood there, wearing a bright-red and orange life-jacket. "Why are you wearing that?" Claudine protested. "Our ship hasn't even sailed yet!" "In case the China Star starts going down. Then you'll really be sorry you're not wearing one yourself. Here! Let me show you something!" ________ Our cabin was below deck. Outside we could see nothing but deep dark water.
Claudine became alarmed. "Mama, how often does a ship sink?" she asked. Before Aunt Reine had time to reply, Victor quipped with a straight face, "Only once!" Aunt Reine and I could not help laughing in spite of ourselves. But then Victor did something my brothers would never have done. He took off his life-jacket, slipped it on his sister and showed her how to adjust the straps. ________ At night, our housekeeper brought in a tiny roll-out bed because there were three of us.
A. Once Victor hid in a lifeboat for half an hour while we searched everywhere.
B. His head was completely hairless, and he was obviously unsteady.
C. He and Claudine made me feel at ease as soon as I met them.
D. There were only two narrow twin beds in our cabin, each covered with dark blue sheets.
E. He parted the curtain and looked out of the round window of the ship.
F. He jumped out as we passed below him, scaring and delighting us at the same time.
【答案】 B；C；E；D
【解析】【分析】本文是一篇记叙文，叙述了作者和另外两个小伙伴登上名为"China Star"的船之后的所见所闻以及个人感受。

（1）考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。

根据空前“ The housekeeper was tall and thin and towered over everyone.”是对管家外表的介绍：又高又瘦；以及空后"One thing about having no hair at all on your head"可知，管家（the housekeeper）没有头发。

故该句承
接前文，依然要介绍管家的外貌，还要提到没头发这一点，故选B。

（2）考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。

根据空前“ Though I was still feeling nervous and tongue-tied because it had only been three days since Aunt Reine took me out of St. Joseph's, I laughed out loud. That was the effect Victor had on people.”尽管作者仍然感到有点紧张，但是听了Victor说的话之后，也情不自禁地哈哈大笑。

这就是Victor对他人的影响力。

该空承接前文，仍然要提到作者的同伴带给他的感受， C. He and Claudine made me feel at ease as soon as I met them.“我一见到Victor和Claudine，他们就使我感到很舒服。

”符合语境，古训啊C。

（3）考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。

根据空前Victor要让Claudine和作者看点东西。

下句提到他们看到外面深而暗的水。

那么该空就应该叙述Victor为了让他的同伴看到外面而做的举动，E. He parted the curtain and looked out of the round window of the ship.“他打开窗帘，向窗外看去。

”承接上文，符合语境，故选E。

（4）考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。

根据空后“ At night, our housekeeper brought in a tiny roll-out bed because there were three of us.”因为我们有三个人，所以管家拿来一张床。

那么，前句应该提到床的问题，D. There were only two narrow twin beds in our cabin, each covered with dark blue sheets.“我们的小屋里只有两张窄的双人床，每一张都覆盖着深蓝色的床单。

”承接下文，符合语境，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。

6．阅读短文，按照题目要求用英语回答问题。

Dear James,
It is a beautiful day here and I am sitting under the big tree at the end of the garden. I have just returned from a long bike ride to an old castle. It seems amazing that at my age I am still fit enough to cycle 20 kilometres in an afternoon. It's my birthday in two weeks' time and I'll be 82 years old! I think my long and active life must be due to the healthy life I live.
This brings me to the real reason for my letter, my dear grandson. Your mother tells me that you started smoking some time ago and now your are finding it difficult to give it up. Believe me, I know how easy it is to begin smoking and how tough it is to stop. You see, during adolescence I also smoked and became addicted to cigarettes.
By the way, did you know that this is because you become addicted in three different ways? First, you can become physically addicted to nicotine（尼古丁）, which is one of the hundreds of chemical in cigarettes. This means that after a while your body becomes accustomed to having nicotine in it. So when the drug leaves your body, you get withdrawal symptoms. Secondly, you become addicted through habit. As you know, if you do the same thing over and over again, you begin to do it automatically. Lastly, you can become mentally addicted. I believed I was happier and more relaxed after having a cigarette, so I began to think that I could only feel good when I smoked. Quitting smoking was really difficult because I was addicted in all three ways. But I did finally manage.
When I was young, I didn't know much about the harmful effects of smoking. I didn't know, for example, that it could do terrible damage to your heart and lungs or that it was more difficult for
smoking couples to become pregnant. Neither did I know that my cigarette smoke could affect the health of non-smokers. However, what I did know was that my girlfriend thought I smelt terrible. She told me that she wouldn't go out with me again unless I stopped! I also noticed that I became breathless quickly, and that I wasn't enjoying sport as much. When I was taken off the school football team because I was unfit, I knew it was time to quit smoking.
I am sending you some advice I found on the internet. It might help you to stop and strengthen your resolve. I do hope so because I want you to live as long and healthy a life as I have.
Love from
Grandpa （1）Why did the writer mention the long bike ride and his age in the letter? (no more than 15 words)
（2）What's the purpose of writing the letter? (no more than 10 words)
（3）What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 3 mean? (no more than 5 words)
（4）Why did the grandpa decide to quit smoking? (no more than 20 words)
（5）Do you think it easy or difficult to quit smoking? Please give James some possible advice to help him. (no more than 15 words)
【答案】（1）To tell he grandson that he has benefited from the healthy life he lives.
（2）He wanted to persuade James to quit smoking.
（3）He succeeded in quitting smoking.
（4）Because his girlfriend left him, he began to have some healthy problems and even was taken off the football team.
（5）Open.
【解析】【分析】本文是一篇应用文，介绍了爷爷给孙子的一些建议，要注意进行适当的锻炼，不要吸烟，文中提到他自己以前的不良的嗜好现在也克服了，经过不断的锻炼现在虽然八十多岁了身体扔然很硬朗，建议孙子放弃吸烟，保持有健康的身体很重要。

（1）考查信息提升能力。

根据第一段中的“It seems amazing that at my age I am still fit enough to cycle 20 kilometres in an afternoon. It's my birthday in two weeks' time and I'll be 82 years old! I think my long and active life must be due to the healthy life I live.”可知，作者爷爷提到年龄和骑自行车的事情，是为了说明身体健康的重要性，故得出答案：T o tell he grandson that he has benefited from the healthy life he lives.。

（2）考查信息提升能力。

根据第二段中的“This brings me to the real reason for my letter, my dear grandson. Your mother tells me that your started smoking some time ago and now your are finding it difficult to give it up.”可知，爷爷写信的目的在于劝说孙子戒烟。

因此答案He wanted to persuade James to quit smoking.
（3）考查信息提升能力。

根据第三段中的“Quitting smoking was really difficult because I was addicted in all three ways.”可知，戒烟很难，但是本句句首but可知，爷爷成功了，故答案为He succeeded in quitting smoking.
（4）考查信息提升能力。

根据倒数第二段中的“She told me that she wouldn't go out with me again unless I stopped! I also noticed that I became breathless quickly, and that I wasn't enjoying sport as much. When I was taken off the school football team because I was unfit, I
knew it was time to quit smoking.”可知，当爷爷的女朋友离开了他，身体不适，被足球队给踢出来了，正是这些原因让他决定戒烟。

因此答案为：Because his girlfriend left him, he began to have some healthy problems and even was taken off the football team.
（5）本题属于开放性问题，包含两个问题，第一个戒烟难不难？第二，给一些建议，建议言之有理即可。

【点评】本题涉及信息提升能力和开放题型的考查，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，做出正确答案。

When big news breaks, it's easy to get caught up in following the story online. The Internet can be a place to find useful information. ________ Helping kids understand the news and how to separate fact from fiction is an important job for parents and educators.
Here's some advice that parents can offer kids to help them be quicker to judge as they consume news online.
________ In the rush to cover stories, reporters make mistakes, officials don't always have correct information and tidbits (八卦新闻) that sound reasonable often get passed around before anyone has checked them for accuracy.
Use social media wisely. Some say Twitter is a great source of news in the first few minutes of a tragedy. ________ On the other hand, Facebook can be a great way to connect with friends affected by events in the news and to spread personal news within a more limited circle.
Be skeptical. ________ After the Boston Marathon bombing, NBC Sports reported that some runners kept running all the way to the hospital to donate blood for the victims. Not true. There are plenty of websites devoted to exposing false news stories. The Washington Post also has a Fact Checker column that delivers claims made by public officials and politicians. Visit them to find out if a story is true.
Keep it age-appropriate. Kids aren't always ready to digest big, tragic news - especially if the news is about kids, such as school shootings or abuses. The constant repetition of information can be confusing for younger kids, and at the beginning of a news event, parents might not be able to offer any correct answers. ________

选项中有两项为多余选项。

Social Phobia
It is natural to feel nervous, or shy in front of others at times. Most people manage to get through these moments when they need to. ________ It's probably more than shyness. It may build up into a powerful fear. As a result, people feel uncomfortable participating in everyday social activities. This is called social phobia (also called social anxiety).
________ It prevents them from chatting with friends in the lunch time, joining an after-school club, or going to a party. Sometimes, they even feel too nervous to ask a question in class or go to a teacher for help. Social phobia not only prevents people from trying new things. It also prevents them from making the normal, everyday mistakes that may help people improve their skills even further
It is really sad, isn't it? But the good news is that people with social phobia can learn to manage fear, develop confidence and communicating skills and stop avoiding things that make them nervous.

【答案】 B；D；F；G；E
【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了如何处理社交恐惧的几点建议。

（1）根据本空后的“It's probably more than shyness.”可知，它可能不仅仅是害羞，此处是说焦虑对有些人有很不好的影响，故B项（但是对某些人来说，焦虑可能是极端的）符合语境。

（2）根据本空后的“It prevents them from chatting with friends in the lunch time, joining an after-school cl ub, or going to a party.”可知，它阻止他们在午餐时间和朋友聊天、参加课外俱乐部或聚会，此处应该提到一种社交障碍，故D项（社交恐惧症让人对错过的机会感到孤独或失望）符合语境。

（3）根据本空前的“Dealing with social phobia takes the willingness patience and courage to face fears.”可知，处理社交恐惧需要有意志力、耐心和勇气去面对恐惧，此处承接上文，故F项（当感到害羞时，也要采取行动往前走而不是后退）符合语境。

（4）上文提到了治疗师、家人和朋友能够帮助你处理社交恐惧，此处承接上文，说的是这些人对你的帮助，故G项（这些关键人物的支持帮助他们鼓起勇气尝试新事物）符合语境。

（5）根据本空前的“Little by little, someone who decides to deal with extreme shyness can learn to be more comfortable.”可知，渐渐地，一个决定克服嫉妒害羞的人会变得更自在，此处是说小进步的意义，故E项（每向前迈出一小步有助于建立足够的信心迈出下一小步）符合语境。
