初中英语英语任务型阅读练习题及解析

一、英语任务型阅读

1．阅读短文，把A-E五个句子填入文中空缺处，使短文内容完整。

Last week Lu visited England. He stayed with my grandmother. He said it was a strange visit. "I don't understand, but I frightened（害怕） your grandmother a lot. When I arrived, I gave her a purse from Zhengzhou, she looked in it and asked me to take it back.________Do English people like spiders?"

"Later we went shopping. Someone was painting a shop front, so there was a ladder（梯子）.Grandmother stopped me from walking under it and said I must walk around it. I liked the shops and bought some lovely rose soap（肥皂） for my mother, a smart umbrella for my father and some new shoes for myself.________ Your grandmother came in and screamed（尖叫） !" "Then I broke a small mirror in the bathroom.________I felt very sorry. When I left I gave your grandmother some flowers. She counted and there were 13. She didn't like it.________"I explained to Lu, "My grandmother follows the old customs（习俗）. You must not give someone an empty purse or they will have no money. You must not kill a money spider or the same will happen. Also it is very unlucky to walk under a ladder and to put new shoes on the table. An open umbrella in a house means someone will die. Breaking a mirror brings seven years' bad luck, and 13 is also a very unlucky number.________."

E. When we got back, I put the shoes on the table and opened the umbrella to check if it was all right.我们回来后，我把鞋放在桌子上，打开雨伞检查一下是否完好。

（2）根据上文I liked the shops and bought some lovely rose soap for my mother, a smart umbrella for my father and some new shoes for myself，我喜欢这些商店并且给妈妈买了一些可爱的玫瑰香皂，给爸爸买了一把漂亮的雨伞，给自己买了双新鞋，可知下文是他回来

后，把鞋放在桌子上，打开雨伞检查一下是否完好，故选E。

2．根据短文内容，回答下列问题。

You must have heard about jogging（慢跑）as a popular way of keeping fit, but what about plogging? Plogging is a mix of jogging and picking up litter, coming from the Swedish phrase "plocka upp". It started as an organized activity in Sweden around 2016 and then spread to other countries step by step. For exercising, plogging is much better than simply running, because it provides changes in body movements by adding bending（弯曲）, squatting（蹲）and stretching（伸展）.

As 2018's hottest fitness way, plogging has become popular in more than 40 countries, from the US to France and Australia to Thailand. The idea of plogging is to pay attention to environmental protection as well as physical health — to care for Mother Nature as well as your body. "I run a lot and I love to spend time in nature. When I find litter out in the woods, it makes me sad and a bit angry. Plogging is a natural way to do something about that," Tesch said." It's so easy to just pick up the litter and put it in the nearest bin, and it makes you feel that you're making a difference!"

Have you noticed people jogging while carrying trash bags recently? Or running along with hands full of dirty plastic bottles? You might do soon! Because plogging has reached China. Olivier, a Frenchman married to a Chinese girl, began promoting（促进）plogging in Huizhou, Guangdong Province, back in April. He and his wife were the only ones doing it at first, he said, but the craze soon caught on. The couple have set up a WeChat group for people to learn more about plogging. Currently there are more than 100 people from different parts of the country in the group to take an active part in the environmental movement. In honor of World Environment Day this year, the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China（中国工商银行）started plogging campaigns （运动）in 280 cities, attracting 13,000 people to join in.

Plogging can be done almost anytime and anywhere, and costs almost nothing. Will you take it up?

（1）What's the meaning of the word "plogging"?

（2）Where did the activity first start?

（3）Up to 2018, how many countries has the activity spread to?

（4）Why can the idea of plogging become so popular?

（5）How did Olivier and his wife make people learn more about plogging?
