河北省衡水市衡水中学高考英语压轴专题《任务型阅读》难题汇编doc

一、高中英语任务型阅读
1．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.
College graduation eventually means taking much of your attention in your first job search. This process can be challenging, especially for those students who had thought very carefully about their chosen major and their potential career path—or those who majored in a field not directly connected to a specific career he eventually got. If you are in one of these groups, fear not! ________
Some majors are tied directly to specific career fields. For example, if you wish to become a teacher, you will likely have needed to complete an education program and eventually sit for a licensing exam. The same applies to majors in nursing. If you did not complete an acceptable nursing program, you won't be able to take the nursing licensing exam. ________
Other majors, however, are closely related to career paths but don't necessarily require a degree in the area. For example, students who majored in finance, math, or statistics may also have the necessary skills to be hired as an accountant.
Hopefully, as a college student, you were able to do more than just attend classes and read your course books. Your non-academic experiences can be very influential on your future career as well. Did you work during college, volunteer, or participate in a club or organization?
________ If you volunteered with a non-profit organization such as a homeless or domestic violence shelter, seek out positions in social services related to case management or victim advocacy. You may qualify for a position regardless of your major.
Although it often seems like your college major alone determines your career fate, this just isn't the case. ________ If you don't know what career options to consider based on your major, talk to your faculty or academic advisor. You may be surprised at what opportunities await!
A. If so, and if you enjoyed these activities, seek out related careers.
B. In these cases, successfully completing a specific major is crucial to landing a job in the matching field.
C. Graduating from a university with an excellent major and practical ability will surely make you more competitive.
D. It may influence it, but there are other factors that influence your career options as well.
E. The more you learn about workforce market, the better you'll know the importance of a desired major.
F. Although your major and coursework are relevant to landing a job, they are not the only deciding factors.
【答案】 F；B；A；D
【解析】【分析】本文是一篇以论文，大学生毕业后找工作很具有挑战性。

尤其是那些对所选专业及其可能选择的职业非常在意的学生，或者那些所学专业与他最终获得的具体职业没有直接联系的学生。

尽管你所学的专业和课程与所找的工作有关，但并不是唯一的决定因素，决定你的职业不只是你大学所学的专业，还有其他因素也会影响你的职业选择。

（1）考查对上下文的理解及推理判断能力。

根据空前“ This process can be challenging,
especially for those students who had thought very carefully about their chosen major and their potential career path—or those who majored in a field not directly connected to a specific career he eventually got. If you are in one of these groups, fear not!”找工作是个挑战，尤其对于那些所学的专业与他最终要做的职业没有直接联系的学生。

如果你是这些团体中的一员，不要害怕，可知对于这样的一群人来说不害怕是因为"所学的专业和课程并不是唯一的找工作的决定因素"，F. Although your major and coursework are relevant to landing a job, they are not the only deciding factors.“尽管你的专业和课程与找工作有关，但它们并不是唯一的决定因素”符合题意，故选F。

（2）考查对上下文的理解及推理判断能力。

根据空前"Some majors are tied directly to specific career fields."可知，有些专业直接与特定的职业领域联系在一起。

以及“ If you did not complete an acceptable nursing program, you won't be able to take the nursing licensing exam.”如果没有护理专业的无法参加护理许可考试。

在这种情况下，成功完成某个专业对于找到相匹配领域的工作至关重要"， B. In these cases, successfully completing a specific major is crucial to landing a job in the matching field.“在这些情况下，成功完成某个专业对于在匹配领域找到工作至关重要”与此段的意义也是一致的。

可知B项符合题意，故选B。

（3）考查对上下文的理解及推理判断能力。

前面两段内容"然而，其他专业与选择的职业密切相关，但不一定需要该领域的学位。

你的非学术经历也会对你未来的职业生涯产生很大影响，如志愿者活动等。

如果喜欢这些活动的话，可寻找与之相关的职业。

" A. If so, and if you enjoyed these activities, seek out related careers.“如果是这样，如果你喜欢这些活动，寻找与之相关的职业”符合题意，故选A。

（4）考查对上下文的理解及推理判断能力。

根据空前“ Although it often seems like your college major alone determines your career fate, this just isn't the case.”"虽然看起来你的大学专业似乎决定你的职业命运，但事实并非如此。

"根据转折连词although可知，与你的专业无关的其他因素也会影响你的职业选择的。

D. It may influence it, but there are other factors that influence your career options as well.“它可能会影响你的职业选择，但也有其他因素会影响你的职业选择”符合题意，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。

2．请认真阅读下面的短文，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。

When times are tough, how should governments in poor countries ensure their citizens remain fed? In the past, most of them used subsidies (现金补助) to keep food prices low for all their citizens. But these policies have become ineffective: the cost of maintaining Egypt's food subsidies, for instance, nearly doubled between 2009 and 2013. And much of the money goes to the wrong people. In Egypt and the Philippines less than 20% of spending on food subsidies goes to poor households. In the Middle East and North Africa only 35% of subsidies reach 40% of the poorest, the IMF notes.
Motivated by a desire to control growing budget deficits (赤字) , many countries are replacing broad subsidies with policies aimed more directly at the needy. But what form should the
targeted aid take? Earlier this month Iran introduced free handouts of food to replace its subsidy method. Other countries, such as Indonesia and Malaysia, have chosen instead to provide extra cash benefits to the poor. So far, food vouchers (代金券) have been the least popular option. Proposals to introduce food vouchers in such countries as Malaysia have been rejected on the basis that they were too American and un-Asian.
However, the researchers at the International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI) thought that might have been a mistake and analyzed the results of an experiment conducted by the World Food Programme in Ecuador, a South American country, in 2011, which compared handouts of food, cash and vouchers in the experiment. The study found that direct handouts—Iran's new policy—were the least effective option. They cost three times as much as vouchers to promote calorie intake by 15%, and were four times as costly as a way of increasing dietary diversity and quality. Distribution costs were high, and wastage was also a problem. Only 63% of the food given away was actually eaten, while 83% of the cash was spent on food and 99% of the vouchers were exchanged as intended. Food handouts have also been the costliest option in similar projects in some African countries, according to John Hoddinott at IFPRI.
In Ecuador there was little difference in cost between handing out cash and food vouchers, the other two options. But food vouchers were better at encouraging people to buy healthier foods because of restrictions on what items could be exchanged for them. It was 25% cheaper to promote the quality of household nutrition using food vouchers than it was by handing out cash.
A switch from universal subsidies to vouchers could be the most efficient way of promoting health as well as relieving poverty. This is very necessary in many developing countries, according to Lynn Brown, a consultant for the World Bank.
Compared；necessity/must；relieve
【解析】【分析】本文是一篇议论文，当时局艰难时，贫穷国家的政府应如何确保其公民有饭吃？文章论述了什么食品券是发展中国家值得考虑的政策。

（1）考查细节理解。

根据最后一段中的“A switch from universal subsidies to vouchers could be the most efficient way of promoting health as well as relieving poverty. This is very necessary in many developing countries, according to Lynn Brown, a consultant for the World Bank.”从普遍补贴转向代金券可能是促进健康和消除贫困的最有效方式。

世界银行顾问林恩•布朗表示，这在许多发展中国家非常必要；以及全文的内容可知，food vouchers是最合理最划算的政策，因此它值得发展中国家去考虑。

故填worth/deserving。

（2）考查细节理解。

根据第一段中的“When times are tough, how should governments in poor countries ensure their citizens remain fed?”当时局艰难时，贫穷国家的政府应如何确保其公民有饭吃）可知，universal subsidies（补贴）的目的是ensure their citizens remain fed“确保其公民有饭吃”。

由空后for可知，此处替换成provide for the citizen in poor countries。

故填provide。

（3）考查细节理解。

根据第一段中的“But these policies have become ineffective”但这些政策已经失效。

可知，此处把ineffective替换成not effective。

故填effective。

（4）考查推理判断。

根据第一段中的“And much of the money goes to the wrong people.”大部分钱都花在了错误的人身上；和第二段中的“aimed more directly at the needy”更直接地针对有需要的人。

Needy与此处in need 形成同义替换。

故填need。

（5）考查原词重现，根据第二段中的“Motivated by a desire to control growing budget deficits (赤字) , many countries are replacing broad subsidies with policies aimed more directly at the needy.”出于控制不断增长的预算赤字的愿望，许多国家正在用更直接针对贫困人口的政策取代广泛的补贴。

可知，此处填写directly。

故填directly。

（6）考查推理判断。

根据第三段中的“Distribution costs were high, and wastage was also a problem.”配送成本高，浪费也是一个问题，可知，一大部分食物被浪费导致了巨大的浪费问题。

因此需要一个链接前后句的承接词，由题意我们选择causing"造成"。

故填causing。

（7）考查推理判断。

根据倒数第二段中的“But food vouchers were better at encouraging people to buy healthier foods because of restrictions on what items could be exchanged for them”但食品券在鼓励人们购买更健康的食品方面做得更好，因为可以兑换的食品种类受到了限制。

可知，当鼓励人们去买健康食物的时候food vouchers效果很好。

when it comes to…"当……的时候"。

故填comes。

（8）考查推理判断。

根据倒数第二段中的“It was 25% cheaper to promote the quality of household nutrition using food vouchers than it was by handing out cash.”用食品券来提高家庭营养质量比用现金要便宜25%。

可知，handing out cash和food voucher相比更加贵，两者是对比关系，应使用compare"比较"的过去分词。

故填Compared。

（9）考查原词重现，根据最后一段中的“A switch from universal subsidies to vouchers could be the most efficient way of promoting health as well as relieving poverty. This is very necessary in many developing countries, according to Lynn Brown, a consultant for the World Bank.”从普遍补贴转向代金券可能是促进健康和消除贫困的最有效方式。

世界银行顾问林恩•布朗表示，这在许多发展中国家非常必要。

可知，此处使用necessity/must"必要性/必须"，由空前a 可知，此处使用名词单数。

故填necessity/must。

（10）考查原词重现。

根据最后一段中的“A switch from universal subsidies to vouchers could be the most efficient way of promoting health as well as relieving poverty. This is very necessary in many developing countries, according to Lynn Brown, a consultant for the World Bank.”从普遍补贴转向代金券可能是促进健康和消除贫困的最有效方式。

世界银行顾问林恩•布朗表示，这在许多发展中国家非常必要。

可知，此处使用relieve"解除，减轻"。

故填relieve。

【点评】本题考点涉及细节理解，推理判断和原词重现三个题型的考查，是一篇经济类阅读，要求考生在捕捉细节信息的基础上，进一步根据上下文的逻辑关系，进行分析，推理，概括和归纳，从而写出正确答案。

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

注意：每个空格只填1个单词。

Ants: master cooperators
Millions of ants live together in a colony, but they don't compete, get confused, or become disorganized. They behave in an amazing orderly manner at all times. Some scientists refer to ants as 'super-organisms' because they live in such highly organized societies that work together to survive. The way ants live and work together has made them one of the most important creatures on the planet.
Ants, like bees, belong to a class of eusocial insects. Eusocial insects are broken into groups within their community, and each group has a special job to do depending on the needs of the community. There are three basic groups in an ant colony: queens, soldiers, and workers. Queens are the largest ants, and their only job is to reproduce—they lay all of the eggs that will eventually become soldiers and workers. Soldiers are responsible for protecting the colony and finding new places for nests. Worker ants have many jobs within the community, including caring for the eggs and young ants, hunting for food and maintaining the nest.
Some scientists are studying how ants can lead to a better understanding of labor issues, social class, and the use of nature resources in human communities. Ants have had millions of years of practice in working together to survive and grow. For a colony to function successfully, ants have to cooperate, from which people can learn a lot. Researchers hope that gathering information about how ants live together in communities can help people learn to cooperate and compromise with each other.
However, others argue that there are fundamental differences between ants and humans that mean human societies are unlikely ever to attain ant-like levels of collaboration. For example, ants in a colony don't compete with each other. When they are short of food in the colony, some worker ants automatically become 'feeder' ants and feed others with the food in their stomach,
regardless of their usual job. When the food supply is replenished, they become worker ants again.
In addition, ants are able to work together without a leader giving them directions. Despite their names, queen ants are not leaders. Instead, ants find out what they need to do from their sense of smell. Research on harvester ants pass each other, they pick up a chemical smell which tells them what the other ant is doing. The number of ants they pass doing a particular job determines what they need to do. It is a form of communication, but unlike human communication it has no content; it is just based on numbers.
While ants undoubtedly have a great deal to teach us about organization and the structure of networks, those searching for a greater understanding of human behaviour and morals may need to look somewhere.
They live together in colony without competitions, ________ or being disorganized
The way they work together for ________ living in highly organized societies makes them unique on the planet.
Three groups, including queens, soldiers and workers in an ant colony have a special job, ________ the needs of the community ________ of studying ants.
It helps people understand labor issues, social class, and the use of natural resources better Ants are ________ in working together to survive and grow, helping people run the communities smoothly
It helps people learn to cooperate and ________ with each other
Differences between ants and humans
For ________ of food some worker ants automatically become "feeder ants ________ ants, humans have leaders giving people directions
Suggestion
Researchers should have different ________ in understanding human behaviour and morals.【答案】features/characteristics；confusion；survival；determining；Significance/Importance/Meaning/Benefits；experienced；compromise；shortage/lack；Unlike；angles

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.

5．阅读短文，按照题目要求用英语回答问题。

My dad is a kind, gentle man, and a man of few words. Throughout my life, he offered advice rarely. But the words were always appropriate to the situation I was facing.
As a teen when I struggled with making sense of the world around me, he sai d, “All things are relative.” He taught me the right view of the world. When I was offered the opportunity to be a manager of an organization as an undergraduate student, I asked him for advice because he was a senior manager of a large company. His advice was simple, “Only when you become the manager can you have a vision for how you can make the organization better; management isn't about power and it's about leadership.” I learned what I needed was not only to be responsible for my team but also to have leading ability. When I was feeling down, he explained, “Think that you make the wrong choices in life, sometimes.”
My dad is 86 now, living on his own and enjoying life while struggling with the challenges that aging brings. He keeps a positive attitude despite long pain and the losses that come in life. Although we live quite far away from each other, we talk daily on the phone, and he shares the joys of my young family. As I tell him how we're heading off cycling or on a trip or out to play tennis, n ow his typical response is, “Do it while you can.” This is very important. We can't be sure of the future. My father's advice is like the ancient dictum（格言）of “ carpe diem”— seize the day and enjoy it to the fullest.
My dad rarely “lectured me”. He tru sted me, and helped me when I needed help. His patience and wisdom have been true gifts in my life. As I doubt my ability and my motivation, I recall his most recent gift of wisdom, “Do it while you can”. It's enough to “just get me started”.
（1）Why did th e author's dad tell him “All things are relative.”? (No more than 10 words) （2）What qualities should a manager have according to the author? (No more than 5 words) （3）What is the purpose of the author's father talking with him on the phone every day? (No more than 10 words)
（4）How do you understand the underlined sentence in the last paragraph? (No more than 10 words)
（5）How do you feel about the ancient dictum of “carpe diem”? (No more than 20 words) 【答案】（1）To teach the author the right view of the world.
（2）Both responsibility and leading ability.
（3）Learning (To learn) more about the pleasure of the author's family.
（4）His father's words make him take action.
（5）(One possible version:) I totally agree with it, because I think one should seize the day to enjoy his life without regret.
【解析】【分析】本文是一篇记叙文。

作者介绍了自己的父亲及父亲对自己的教导和启发。

（1）考查信息提升能力。

根据第二段中的“As a teen when I struggled with making sense of the world around me, he said, ‘All things are relative.’ He taught me the right view of the world.”可知，作者的父亲说“所有的事情都是相对的。

”是为了教给作者正确的世界观。

考虑词数限制，故答To teach the author the right view of the world.
（2）考查信息提升能力。

根据第二段中的“I learned what I needed was not only to be responsible for my team but also to have leading ability.”可知，作者明白了作为经理他需要的不仅仅是对团队负责，还要有领导能力。

考虑词数限制，故答Both responsibility and
leading ability.
（3）考查信息提升能力。

根据第三段中的“Although we live quite far away from each other, we talk daily on the phone, and he shares the joys of my young family. ”可知，作者的父亲每天和他通电话的目的实际上是想分享年轻家庭的快乐。

考虑词数限制，故答Learning (To learn) more about the pleasure of the author's family.
（4）考查信息提升能力。

根据最后一段中的“As I doubt my ability and my motivation, I recall his most recent gift of wisdom, “Do it while you can”. It's enough to “just get me started”可知，当作者怀疑自己的能力和动机时，他会想起父亲最近赐予他的智慧——“趁你能做的时候去做”。

这足以让我“开始”了。

由此可知，划线句意为，父亲的话让自己行动起来。

考虑词数限制，故答His father's words make him take action.
（5）考查信息提升能力。

此题答案不统一，答题时要有立场、要有依据，同时注意字数限制。

例如：I totally agree with it, because I think one should seize the day to enjoy his life without regret.（我完全同意，因为我认为一个人应该抓住这一天，享受他的生活没有遗憾）
【点评】本题涉及信息提升能力的考查，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词汇知识，从而做出正确答案。
