江苏高考英语百日训练之任务型阅读(23)含答案解析

江苏高考英语百日训练之任务型阅读(23)含答案解析【题文】As the concept of emotional intelligence (EI) has gone global, we’ve watched professionals fail as they try to improve their emotional intelligence because they either don’t know where to focus their efforts or they haven’t understood how to improve these skills on a practical level. In our work consulting with companies and coaching leaders, we have found that if you’re looking to develop particular EI strengths, it helps to consider areas for improvement others have identi fied along with the goals you want to achieve----and then to actively build habits in those areas rather than simply relying on understanding them conceptually.The first step is to get a sense of how your self-perception (how you see yourself) differs from your reputation (how others see you).This is especially true for the development of emotional intelligence because we can be blind to how we express and read the emotional components of our interactions. For example, most of us think that we’re good lis teners, but very often that’s really not the case. Without this external reality check, it will be difficult for you to identify the ways that your actions affect your performance. Getting feedback from others can also provide proof of the necessity of shifting our behavior and motivation to do so.To give you the best sense of where the differences lie between your self-perception and reputation, you should use a 360-drgree feedback assessment that takes into account the multiple facets of EI. The key is to find one that guarantees confidentiality to those giving you feedback and that is focused on development and not on performance assessment.Secondly, when you get your feedback from an assessment, let that inform what you want to improve. But also consid er what your goals are. When it comes to cultivating strengths in emotional intelligence, you’re at a huge disadvantage if you’re only interested because others said you should be. Your emotional intelligence is so tied up in hour sense of self that being intrinsically(内在的) motivated to make the effort matters more when changing longstanding habits than it does when simply learning a skill.That means the areas that you choose to actively work on should lie at the intersection of the feedback you’ve gotten and the areas that are most important to your own aspirations(渴望). Understanding the impacts of your current EI habits relative to your goals will keep you going over the long haul as you do the work of strengthening your emotional intelligence.Once you’ve determined which EI skills you want to focus on, identify specific actions that you’ll take. If you’re working on becoming a better listener, for example, you might decide that when you’re conversing with someone you’ll take the time to pause, listen to what they have to say, and check that you understand before you reply. Keep it specific. Youshould also take every naturally occurring opportunity to practice the skill you’re developing, no matter how small.By starting to change your routine reactions, you’ll be well on your way to figuring out the old habits that aren’t serving you well and transforming them into new, improved ones that do.【答案】51. confuses/puzzles52. differences53. capable54. motivated55. assess 56. matters/counts57. recognize/know/identify58.

江苏高考英语百日训练之任务型阅读(20)含答案解析【题文】The 17th-century French tragedian Pierre Corneille wrote: The manner of giving is worth more than the gift”. He had a point, according to Charles Spence, head of Crossmodal Research Laboratory at the University of Oxford.Th e professor’s work focuses on how our brains sense the world around us. His research has shown that high-frequency sounds and curved shapes seem to increase the sweetness wine tastes better if it is accompanied by the popping sound of a cork and drunk from all these created multisensory experiences.So, what’s his advice if you want to impress this holiday season?Bulk it up hide“We’ve just published research on eating a box of chocolates,” Mr Spence said. “If you are 30-gram weight in a box of chocolates, that weight translates to a significant increase perceived(感知)quality of the chocolate.”There are exceptions, but the association between weight and the perception of luxury(奢侈)applies to many items including tableware,perfume(香水)and wine,Mr. Spence said. “That's why in a restaurant,a waiter might artfully give you the bottle to weigh in your hand,” he added.Black is basicBlack is the color most associated with luxury because, Mr. Spence said,“it seems to be the color that we perceive to be the heaviest.”Such luxury indications are learned, rather than inborn, so they can change over time. I’m doing a lot of work on transparency(透明) at the moment; high-quality packaged goods should have a transparent window because it suggests freshness or quality,” he said.But the trend is recent,the professor added, because “traditionally luxury goods used to have nontransparent packaging. I think it has to do with the current desire for originality.”Layer it onUnnecessary wrapping(包裹)can be an ecological concern but, when it comes to luxury goods like wine in a presentation case, it does make an impression.“Tissue layers are really good,” Mr. Spence said,“because the crinkle adds an extra sense to the experience.”Consider a little perfume in the box or wrapping, and, if you want to involve other senses, work out some way for classical music to be playing when the gift is opened because we associate it with quality.Engaging several senses at once is beneficial.“The brain combines the inputs from each sense, both t o determine what something is, but also to determine a reward value,”Mr. Spence said. Also,the more stimuli(刺激)to the senses,the more activity is produced in the orbitofrontal cortex, a small part of brain situated just beside the eyes. And the more activity there,the more rewarding something is perceived to be.You can go too far“Engaging an extra sense is more effective, but you can potentially have a disagreement if that extra sense doesn’t match the others.” the professor said.【答案】71.

三、能力要求此题要求考生在读完一篇短文后,根据文中相关内容,填写表格中相应的工程。

这实际上是对已阅读信息的二次加工。

要求考生归纳概括文中要点,整合零散信息并把加工后系统化的信息以表格的形式有序地表达出来,使零散信息形象化、条理化、明朗化和简单化。

通过阅读表格使读者能够迅速理清文章结构,获取主要信息,抓住段落主题,了解文章大意。

该题属综合能力考查题,强调主观表达能力、语言理解能力和逻辑推断能力。

所选短文一般简洁明了,难度适当,因此,要求考生能够运用根本的语法知识。

1.阅读理解的能力〔1〕对所阅读文章的整体把握。

阅读文章时,首先需要领略文章大意,并通过归纳概括,提炼出全文的主题。

这既是阅读理解的需要,又是做题的需要。

任务型阅读的图表中有时会在标题〔Title〕局部设置试题,但自2021年以来,江苏考卷还没有在标题局部设置过试题。

〔2〕对所阅读文章结构和层次的把握。

把握文章的结构和层次,即了解文章围绕其中心思想以怎样的形式展开〔包括文章的段落可以分成哪几个局部〕,文章各局部的表达分成怎样的层次。

任务型阅读试题的图形往往都是按照文章的结构和层次设置的,因此把握文章结构和层次对做好试题所起的积极作用毋庸多言。

江苏高考英语百日训练之任务型阅读(3)含答案解析

江苏高考英语百日训练之任务型阅读(3)含答案解析【题文】Why We Struggle to Say ‘I Love You’For many Asian-Americans, the phrase belongs to the wonderful world of white people we see in the movies and on television.So many of our Asian parents have struggled, and suffered in ways that are completely beyond the imaginations of their children born or raised in North American comfort. This struggle and sacrifice was how Asian parents say “I love you” without having to say it. And so many of us children are not expected to say it either, but instead are expected to express love through gratitude, which means obeying our parents and following their wishes for how we should live our lives.Our parents, for the most part, told us to get a good education, get a good job and not speak up, things they had to do to survive. They have encouraged, or forced, many of us to become doctors, lawyers and engineers, and to feel ashamed if we do not. What these parents did not do was tell us we could become artists, actors or storytellers, people engaged in seemingly trivial, unsafe and unstable professions.I have met so few who have proudly told me that their children are English majors or have become writers or artists. But I became a writer despite, and perhaps because of, their resistance to the idea, my inarticulate(难以言喻的) desires pushing against their inarticulate sacrifice, all of it taking place before a backdrop of refugee(难民)life and racial reality.I grew up in the relatively diverse city of San Jose, Calif., in the 1980s. My neighbors were older white working-class people, Mexican immigrants and Vietnamese refugees. Then I went to a mostly white high school, with only a handful of students of Asian descent. We knew we were different, but we found our difference a little difficult to put into words. We called ourselves “the Asian invasion.”The irony was that we had not invaded America. America had invaded us, or at the very least had occupied or fought in our countries of origin or heritage. We were here because America was there.Looking back, what I only belatedly realized was that I needed — we all needed — more stories featuring us. More voices belonging to us. More advocates telling our stories in our way with our faces, our inflections, our concerns, our intuitions. We just needed to be at the center of a story, which would include all the aspects of human subjectivity, not just the good but the bad, the three-dimensional fullness that white people took for granted with the privilege of being individuals.When it came to mass media’s repre sentations of us — film and television, morning radio disc jockey jokes— we got only the bad. We were the servants, the enemies, the houseboys, the invaders.As a result, so many of us who watched these distorted(扭曲的) images and heard the stupid jokes learned to be ashamed of ourselves. We learned to be ashamed of our parents. And the shame compounded the inability to say “I loveyou,” a phrase that belonged to the wonderful world of white people we saw in the movies and television.We had to learn better, but the truth is that Asian parents have to learn better, too. You cannot be proud of your artist and storyteller children only when they win Golden Globes. We honor your sacrifice for us, but you have to encourage your children to speak up as well, to claim their voices, to risk failure, to tell their stories and your stories. At the very least, you cannot stand in their way.We are still the Asian invasion in the eyes of many. We cannot accept this as our price of entry into American society. If we must assert ourselves and speak out against racism when it is directed against us, we must also do so when it benefits us. And we do that by challenging and changing the American story. We do it by taking the stage and by telling our own stories, which is really, in the end, our way of saying “I love you” to our parents, our families, our communities and our country.【答案】51. understand / imagine 52. prejudice53. expectations / wishes 54. survival55. resistant / opposed 56. conflict57. distinguishes / tell 58. perfect59. fail 60. place/voice【解析】本文是一篇议论文。

江苏高考英语百日训练之任务型阅读(2)含答案解析

江苏高考英语百日训练之任务型阅读(2)含答案解析【题文】What You Are Is a MultipotentialiteA multipotentialite is someone with many interests and creative pursuits. It’s easy to see your multipotentiality as a limitation or a pain that you need to overcome. But what I’ve learned through speaking with people and writing about these ideas on my website, is that there are some tremendous strengths to being this way. Here are three multipotentialite super powers.One: idea synthesis. That is, combining two or more fields and creating something new at the intersection. Innovation happens at the intersections. That’s where the new ideas come from. And multipotentialites, with all of their backgrounds, are able to access a lot of these points of intersection.The second multipotentialite superpower is rapid learning. When multipotentialites become interested in something, we go hard. We observe everything we can get our hands on. We’re also used to being beginners, because we’ve been beginners so many times in the past, and this means tha t we’re less afraid of trying new things and stepping out of our comfort zones. What’s more, many skills are transferable across disciplines, and we bring everything we’ve learned to every new area we pursue, so we’ve rarely starting from scratch.The third multipotentialite superpower is adaptability; that is, the ability to fit in whatever you need to be in a given situation. Abe Cajudo is sometimes a video director, sometimes a web designer, sometimes a Kickstarter consultant, sometimes a teacher, and sometimes, apparently, James Bond.He’s valuable because he does good work. He’s even more valuable because he can take on various roles, depending on his clients needs. Fast Company magazine identified adaptability as the single most important skill to develop in order to thrive in the 21st century. The economic world is changing so quickly and unpredictably that it is the individuals and organizations that can pivot (灵活变通) in order to meet the needs of the market that are really going to thrive.Idea synthesis, rapid learning and adaptability: three skills that multipotentialites are very good at, and three skills that they might lose if pressured to narrow their focus. As a society, we have a vested interest (既得利益) in encouraging multipotentialites to be themselves. We have a lot of complex, multidimensional problems in the world right now, and we need creative, out-of-the-box thinkers to tackle them.In fact, some of the best team are made up of a specialist and multipotentialite paired together. The specialist can dive in deep and implement ideas, while the multipotentialite brings a breadth of knowledge to the project. It’s a beautiful partnership.Therefore, I say, embrace your many passions. Follow your curiosity down those rabbit holes. Explore yourintersections. Embracing our inner wiring leads to a happier, more authentic life. And perhaps more importantly—multipotentialites, the world needs us.【答案】71. creative 72. mistaken 73. accessible/available 74. pains 75. apply/bring76. adapting 77. predicted 78. conclusion 79. encouraged 80. match【解析】【标题】江苏省2018届高三高考学科基地密卷英语试题(四)【结束】。

高考英语百日训练之阅读理解(22)含答案解析【题文】A few years ago, my husband Charlie and I had marital problems. Growing family responsibilities and financial worries took a toll on us and we began arguing frequently, often late into the night.However, neither of us could take the step that would end our eleven-year marriage and bring heartbreak to our three young children.

Ants: master cooperatorsMillions 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 disorganizedThe 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 smoothlyIt helps people learn to cooperate and ________ with each otherDifferences between ants and humansFor ________ of food some worker ants automatically become "feeder ants ________ ants, humans have leaders giving people directionsSuggestionResearchers 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【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文,通过对蚂蚁的研究了解了它们的特点以及与人类之间的关系。

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 prison 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, andappeal 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。

江苏高考英语百日训练之任务型阅读(17)含答案解析

江苏高考英语百日训练之任务型阅读(17)含答案解析【题文】Time management refers to managing time effectively so that the right time is allocated to the right activity. Time management is essential in every field of life because time is the precious resource one needs to accomplish a task. Every single moment that passes once will never come back again. Time management helps you do your task in time and use your time more productively. It helps you to identify the useless activities which can be avoided and how time can be saved. It helps you allocate proper time for a task and perform the task more efficiently.A student’s daily routine is filled with a lot of activities. Some are related to his studies, some are essential for his lif e and some are for entertainment or physical fitness. Still some activities have no use and just waste time. Similarly if the number of the activities for entertainment exceeds what is reasonable, they waste the time of a student. These activities include using the internet for chatting, playing games, watching movies or listening to music for hours on end. Such activities are called “distracters” which distract one from one’s real purpose.Games and physical exercise are important for a student because they keep him fit in body and mind but game time should be controlled as it may waste his time.No one wastes time intentionally. Time is always wasted in an insensible way. That’s why a student is aware of it until the days of exams come. So it is better to use the present time more effectively than cry o ver what you’ve done in the future.As for a student, time management compromises (包括) various steps. It is not only necessary to allocate time for different subjects but also to identify right time for each such subject. What’s more, to identify the distr acters which become causes of wastage of time is of significance as well.Take a pen and sheet. Write down all the activities you do in your daily routine. Calculate how much time you have for your studies other than other activities. Determine how much time a subject can take out of your total study time. See which subject need more time.Time management【答案】71. purpose72. preciousness/value/importance73. avoid 74. Suggestions/Tips/Advice/Ways75. useless/distracting76. control77. mentally78. past 79.

Hearing loss, that’s an older person’s problem, right? Think again. Noise, not age, is the leading cause of hearing loss. While hearing problems are common among older folks, damage from everyday noise is growing among younger Americans, including those in their teens and 20s.The latest research from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDCP) shows some 40 million Americans ages 20 to 69 suffering hearing damage from everyday loud noise, including heavy traffic, noisy restaurants, rock concerts, sporting events and loud music via earbuds(耳塞). Among 12- to 19-year-olds, researchers estimate some 17 percent show evidence of noise-induced hearing loss in one orboth ears. Worse, many Americans don’t even realize their hearing has been affected.In the CDCP’s analysis of more than 3,500 hearing tests, one out of four adults claimed their hearing was just fine and reported no job-related noise, yet hearing tests indicated they already had noise-induced hearing loss. This type of damage causes a alarming drop in the ability to hear high-pitched sounds, and it was evident in those as young as 20.“We have government standards in the workplace to prote ct workers from noise, but nothing protects you from a society getting noisier every year,” says audiologist Jack Scott, of the Center for Audiology, Speech, Language, and Learning at Northwestern University. Even in protected parks and wildlife areas, a recent study found that noise pollution from traffic, logging and drilling has doubled, drowning out the natural sounds of birds and rushing water.Sarah Sydlowski, the audiology director of the hearing implant program at the Cleveland Clinic, puts the problem this way: “The baby boomer generation is dealing with skin cancer from the tanning they did as teens. This generation will have to deal with the consequences of noise exposure that damaged their hearing.” Many young adults don’t realize that hearing loss is permanent. When loud noise kills the sensitive inner-ear cells that allow us to hear, they don’t regenerate. “The hearing you have when you’reborn is all you get. Those cells can’t be replaced,” says Sydlowski says. “And the damage is cumulative(累积的),” adds Scott. The more often the ears are exposed to damaging noise, the more cells die, leading to damaged hearing day by day.Part of the reason hearing damage is showing up earlier is today’s improved portable devices. The sound level 28 years ago fr om the Walkman, with its weak headphones, was much lower than today’s high-fidelity smartphones with earbuds that deliver louder sound much closer to the eardrum. A study that compared hearing tests of teens found the levelsof mild hearing loss jumped 30 percent. But don’t just blame the earbuds, says Sydlowski. People underestimate what a safe level of sound is, “especially when they’re already in a noisy environment.” Both she and Scott say a common problem among their younger patients is turning up the sound in their earbuds to mask the noise around them.To protect your hearing, follow these tips:Turn down the volume. If you’re listening to music through your earbuds, “any volume level higher than 50 percent is risky,” says Sydlowki.Limit your exposure. Do not attend fitness classes with deafening music (or at least move away from the speakers, advises Sydlowski) and sports stadiums with ear-splitting crowd noise.51. _________________52. _________________53. _________________54. _________________55. _________________56. _________________57. _________________58. _________________59. _________________60. _________________【答案】51. situation52. contributes/leads53. trend 54. unaware/unconscious55. protected/protection56. heard 57. llowing/enabling58. responsible59. causing60.

注意:请将答案写在答题卡上相应题号的横线上。

每个空格只填一个单词。

Population ChangeWhy is the world’s population growing? The answer is not what you might think. The reason for the explosion is not that people have been reproducing like rabbits, but that people have stopped dropping dead like flies. In 1900, people died at the average age of 30. By 2000 the average age was 65. But while increasing health was a typical feature of the 20th century, declining birth rate could be a defining one of the 21st.Statistics show that the average number of births per woman has fallen from 4.9 in the early 1960s to 2.5 nowadays. Furthermore, around 50% of the world’s population live in regions where the figu re is now below the replacement level (i.e. 2.1 births per woman) and almost all developed nations are experiencing sub-replacement birth rate. You might think that developing nations would make up the loss (especially since 80% of the world’s people now live in such nations), but you’d be wrong. Declining birth rate is a major problem in many developing regions too, which might cause catastrophic global shortages of work force within a few decades.A great decline in young work force is likely to occur in China, for instance. What does it imply? First, China needs to undergo rapid economic development before a population zxxk decline hits the country. Second, if other factors such as technology remain constant, economic growth and material expectations will fall well below recent standards and this could invite trouble.Russia is another country with population problems that could break its economic promise. Since 1992 the number of people dying has been bigger than that of those being born by a massive 50%. Indeed official figures suggest the country has shrunk by 5% since 1993 and people in Russia live a shorter life now than those in 1961. Why is this occurring? Nobody is quite sure, but poor diet and above all long-time alcoholism have much to do with it. If current trends don’t bend, Russia’s population will be about the size of Yemen’s by the year 2050.In the north of India, the population is booming due to high birth rates, but in the south, where most economic development is taking place, birth rate is falling rapidly. In a further twist, birth rate is highest inpoorly educated rural areas and lowest in highly educated urban areas. In total, 25% of India’s working-age population has no education. In 2030, a sixth of the country’s potential work forc e could be totally uneducated.One solution is obviously to import foreign workers via immigration. As for the USA, it is almost unique among developed nations in having a population that is expected to grow by 20% from 2010—2030. Moreover, the USA has a t rack record of successfully accepting immigrants. As a result it’s likely to see a rise in the size of its working-age population and to witness strong economic growth over the longer term.71. 【答案】lower【解析】根据"declining birth rate could be a defining one of the 21st"可知,21世纪的出生率比20世纪低,且much/ even/far/a lot/ a little等修饰比较级,故填lower。

【备考高考】高考英语任务型阅读试题(附答案)一、高中英语任务型阅读1.任务型阅读Just as team members today have assigned doing roles, there should also be thinking roles. By knowing how other members of your learn and organization think---and by others knowing how you think—everyone can be more productive. So how should you evaluate how you and your team think? After a lot of trial-and-error, we developed a three-step method that delivers practical and meaningful results.Focus. Do you tend to pay the most attention to ideas, process, action, or relationships? For example, in the morning do you think about the problems you need to solve, the plans you need to make, the actions you need to take, or the people you need to see? This isn't about picking one to the exclusion(排除)of the other. It's about where your focus naturally lands.Orientation(方向). A good way to identify your orientation is thinking about what tends to bother you in meetings. Are you more likely to complain about getting dragged into the weeds or about things being too general and not specific enough? These dimensions are complementary(补充的)to personality, skills, and traditional roles.Combination. By combing these two dimensions you can know about the thinking style at work in whatever context or setting you chose. When you know your thinking style, you know what naturally energizes you, why certain type of problems are challenging or boring, and what you can do to improve in areas that are important to reaching your goals. Once you know your style, it helps to share it with others, and have others share theirs with you. In this way, your thinking style becomes a useful tool---a kind of social currency---for the team. Imaging you put together a team to work on a new initiative(行动). Wouldn't you like to know who is energized by big-picture strategy discussions and who finds them frustrating? Who likes to work on the details of the execution? And who is energized by managing the team dynamics?The landscape of business is changing rapidly, and we have to find new and better ways to connect and communicate. We all want to work better together, the challenge is actually making it happen. Understanding collaboration(合作)through the way of thinking rather than doing is a practical and powerful step forward.【答案】equally;improve/increase;evaluating;thinking;choice;whether;combine;contributes/leads;Conclusion;how【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文,正如今天的团队成员分配的角色一样,也应该有思考的角色,两者同样重要。

江苏高考英语百日训练之任务型阅读(28)含答案解析【题文】You can relax if remembering everything is not your strong suit. Recent research makes the case that being forgetful can be a strength—in fact, selective memory can even be a sign of stronger intelligence.Traditional research on memory has focused on the advantages of remembering everything. But looking through years of recent memory data, researchers Paul Frankland and Blake Richards of the University of Toronto found that the neurobiology(神经生物学)of forgetting can be just as important to our decisionmaking as what our minds choose to remember.“The goal of memory is not the transmission of information through time. Rather, the goal of memory is to help improve decisionmaking. As such, transience(转瞬即逝) is as important as persistence in memory systems,” their study in Neuron states.Making intelligent decisions does not mean you need to have all the information at hand, it just means you need to hold onto the most valuable information. And that means clearing up space in your memory palace for the most uptodate information on situations. Our brains do this by generating new neurons(神经元) in our hippocampus(海马体), which have the power to overwrite existing memories that are influencing our decisionmaking.“If you're trying to deal with the situation and your brain is constantly bringing up multiple conflicting memories, that makes it harder for you to make a wise decision,” Richards told Science Daily.If you want to increase the number of new neurons in your brain's learning region, try exercising. Moderate aerobic exercise like jogging, power walking, and swimming have been found to increase the number of neurons making important connections in our brains.When we forget the names of certain clients and details about old jobs, our brain is making a choice that these details do not matter. Although too much forgetfulness can be a cause for concern, the occasional lost detail can be a sign of a perfectly healthy memory system. The researchers found that our brains facilitate decisionmaking by stopping us from focusing too much on minor past details. Instead, the brain promotes generalization, helping us remember the most important gist of a conversation.“One of the things that distinguishes an environment where you're going to want t o remember stuff versus an environment where you want to forget stuff is this question of how consistent the environment is and how likely things are to come back into your life,” Richards said.If you're an analyst who meets with a client weekly, your brain will recognize that this is a client whose name and story you need to remember. If this is someone you may never meet again, your brain will weigh that information accordingly.These findings show us that total recall can be overrated. Our brains are working smarter when they aim to remember the right stories, not every story.Title:Being Forgetful Might Actually Mean Y ou're ____71____【答案】71. Smarter72. equal 73. transmit74.

江苏高考英语百日训练之任务型阅读(26)含答案解析

江苏高考英语百日训练之任务型阅读(26)含答案解析【题文】Observational Learning: To See Is to KnowA group of psychologists, led by Albert Bandura, developed social learning theory, which emphasizes the fact that much learning occurs in a social context. This kind of learning, which results simply from observing and imitating the behavior of others, is called observational learning. Observational learning helps people acquire proper behavior in their families and cultures. By watching others, we learn how to greet people, eat, laugh and tell jokes. Do you still remember your first few days in senior grade one? By watching others, you learned how people talked to each other, what clothes were “fashionable,” and how to interact with instructors.With modeling, you observe others’ beh avior, and then none, some, or all of the behavior may be learned and repeated, or modified. In one of Bandura’s classic studies, children were divided into three groups: One group watched an adult beating up a Bobo doll, one group watched an adult ignorin g the Bobo doll, and the third didn’t see an adult at all. After being mildly frustrated by being placed in a room with toys, but not being allowed to play with some of them, all of the children were then placed in another room with a variety of toys, including a Bobo doll. Children in the first group tended to imitate what they had seen, mistreating the doll (and inventing new ways to abuse it).Researchers have discovered that several characteristics of models can make learning through observation more effective. Not surprisingly, the more you pay attention to the model, the more you learn. You are more likely to pay attention if the model is an expert, is good looking, has high status, or is socially powerful. Second, by watching others, we learn about what behavior is appropriate for people like ourselves, so models who are seen as similar are more readily imitated. All students need to see successful, capable models who look and sound like them.Then, as teachers, how can you apply observational learning? Here are a few guidelines. Above all, model the behavior and attitudes you desire your students to learn. For example, show enthusiasm for the subject you teach. Be willing to demonstrate both the mental and the physical tasks you expect the students to perform. Second, use peers, especially class leaders, as models. For example, in group work, pair students who do well with those who are having difficulties. Third, you may seek the help of class leaders in modeling behavior. Examples include letting high-status students lead an activity when you need class cooperation or when students are likely to be reluctant at first.【答案】76.

I love indoor plants; I really do—but you would never know it by looking at my track record with them. I am always killing succulents.I decided to consult an expert on the matter .I’ve grown tired of killing plants. It shouldn’t be rocket science, but maybe, to some, it is.As it tums out, succulents are not as low-maintenance as they’re often marketed to seem, but they’re not impossible to care for, either. Here’s what I’ve learned after asking a garden shop staff a thousand and one questions.HOW TO A VOID KILLING YOUR SUCCULENTS1. Use loose “cactus(仙人掌)” soil.Succulents need to drain well. They won’t survive in sand or rock, and some other soils h old too much moisture. You can purchase cactus potting soil from your local garden shop. Stick with that stuff.2. Expose it to reasonable sun, shade, and temperaturesAll plants need sunshine (remember photosynthesis(光合作用), just varying levels of it. Succulents are flexible, but they won’t do well in darkness or in sweltering direct sun. Moving the succulent in and out of reasonable levels of sunlight will help it thrive.3. Don’t over-water.As a rookie like me, a person lacking in experience, this was definitely one of my mistakes-too much TLC (Tender Love Caring). The problem is, no one can really tell you how often to water your succulent; you have to monitor it yourself. Depending on your climate, the soil will dry out at varying speeds. Water only when the soil has completely dried from theprevious watering. Succulents won’t quickly die for lack of water, but they do need it. Allowing the water to drain completely through the soil is the best way to avoid root rot. Otherwise, a misting bottle can be helpful to regulate water quantities.4. “Plant food” is not a joke.I used to think that “plant food” was just a marketing ploy(营销手段). It’s not. Since these plants aren’t growing in their natural habitats, they can’t absorb the nutrients (e. g, calcium) th at they naturally need. Cactus/succulent food is cheap and will last a long time; you only need one drop for every gallon of water.5. Give them air circulation.Contrary to popular belief, succulents won't thrive in a closed container (like a terrarium with a lid). They need air.6. They need room to grow.Little succulents are cute and cheap, but they’ll stay that size unless you occasionally repot them. Some succulents can grow to be over ten feet tall, while others will comfortably grow within a foot or two. Occasionally repotting them might mean re-creating a pretty arrangement, but it will help the plants live longer.Unless the dirt is already damp, give the succulents some water before repotting. The new potting soil will be pretty dry, so the extra water will spread out.Best of lucky, everyone! May you have a beautiful windowsill with succulents that thrive!【答案】70.

江苏高考英语百日训练之任务型阅读(24)含答案解析

江苏高考英语百日训练之任务型阅读(24)含答案解析【题文】Waiting in line is a pest of modern society. According to David Andrews’s book, Why Does the Other Line Always Move Faster?, it wasn’t common until the Industrial Revolution synchronized (同步) workers’ schedules, causing lin es that run out of lunch hours and evenings. Given that Americans are estimated to collectively waste tens of billions of hours a year in lines, it’s no wonder that some people try to cut, and others bitterly resent them. Yet jumping the queue without inviting violence is possible. Below are some tips, courtesy of social science.First, pick the right queue. It’s virtually impossible to cut in line for a once-in-a-lifetime event—the Cubs playing the World Series, say. But in a repeating situation like a security line, people are more likely to let you in, perhaps because they anticipate needing a similar favor someday. Using game theory to determine what conditions would make line-cutting socially permissible, researchers found that people queuing just once display little tolerance for line-cutting. But when the queue repeats, people let in intruders who claim an urgent need or who require minimal service time.An excuse for cutting helps, but it needn’t be bulletproof. In one much-cited study, experimenters tried to jump photocopier queues using one of three explanations. A small, polite request without justification—“Excuse me, I have five pages. May I use the Xerox machine?”— enabled them to cut 60 percent of the time. Adding that they were rushed allowed t hem to cut 94 percent of the time. And “May I use the Xerox machine, because I need to make copies?” was almost as effective, despite its lame offer.Bribing(贿赂) can also work, and it may not even cost you. In one study, queuers were offered cash by an undercover researcher if they’d let the researcher cut. A majority agreed, but oddly, most of them then refused the cash. They appreciated the offer not out of greed, but because it proved the intruder’s desperation.Keep in mind that tolerance for line-cutting varies across cultures. One survey of foreigners living in Spain revealed many differences in queuing rules. An Irish respondent said indignantly, “They say ‘I just want to ask a quick question’ and go right up to the counter … I’m ready to explode.” A German subject angrily described a fellow supermarket shopper: “A woman walked right in front of me and put her things on the counter. She says ‘No [it’s] okay, we’re together, pointing to the other woman who had just finished paying … It seems that in Spain that’s allowed. Incredible.”Back in America, the worst sin of line-cutting is pretending you’re not doing it. Like members of any community, queuers want their customs observed. We’d all escape line-waiting if we could, but that way chaos lies. So if you must cut, just ask—nicely. Doing so strengthens the social contract, and it works.【答案】71. popularity/currency72. understandable/acceptable73. shoes/position/situation74. tolerated75. hurry/rush/emergency76. desperation/despair77.

江苏高考英语百日训练之任务型阅读(22)含答案解析【题文】On the surface, one would be hard-pressed to find many similarities between German chancellor Angela Merkel, Bangladeshi prime minister Sheikh Hasina, and Liberian president Ellen Johnson Sirleaf --- except for the fact that they are all female leaders of nations. Merkel, for example, spent more than a decade as a chemist before going into politics, while Hasina, the daughter of Bangladesh ’s first president, served as her father’s political assistant while at college, and Jo hnson Sirleaf worked at multiple financial institution s before running for vice president. Is there something deeper than they share?The researcher Susan R. Madsen of Utah Valley University interviewed women in some countries about their paths to leadership. She was surprised by the similarities among the women when they spoke about how they became leaders. “Every single one of them talked about finding their voices and their confidence at dinner-table conversations with their families. Their parents talked about politics, about what was happening in the community, and when the women had something to say, their parents didn't stop them,” Madsen said.As part of a series of interviews on women and leadership, I spoke to three women from different countries who have each become leaders in their respective fields: Agnes lgoye of Uganda, who works with her government to counter human trafficking; Ikram Ben Said, the founder of Tunisian women’s rights organization Aswat Nissa; and Sairee Chahal of India, who started a digital platform that helps women get back into the workforce.All three of my interviewees pointed to the family environment they had been raised in --- particularly a father figure who taught and empowered the women in the family to learn, ask questions, and form their own opinions. Also, mothers broke convention by displaying leadership within the family.Igoye, for example, credited her father with having the foresight to send his daughters to school despite opposition from others in their village. Her mother went back to school as an adult to improve her career as a teacher, which lgoye described as being a big influence on her. Similarly Ben Said talked about how her father encouraged political debate among the family when she was growing up, even when her opinions contradicted his. Meanwhile, Chahal said that even in her younger days, her parents went against the general convention of expecting their daughters to aim only for a good husband.Another conclusion from Madsen's work is that women's leadership development doesn't look like men's. “Men tend to follow a more straight path to becoming a leader. Women's paths are much emergent. They tend to not necessarily look ahead and think, ‘I want to be on top.’ Women would point to a number of expe riences--- motherhood, or working with a non-profit, or sitting on a board, as shaping their path to becoming leaders,” she said.Actually, women leaders tend to be held to higher standards than their male counterparts. lgoye has felt this in Uganda.“Women who take up leadership positions in my country have to be tough, it's not easy at all,” she said. “You are always aware that you are representing all women. You have to work extra hard to deliver, to perform, because if you do something wrong, they will say, ‘Ah, you see, women!’ ”Therefore, merely having women leaders can change the opportunities available for generations of women in a country. What leadership looks like in their country, how much of a voice the women leaders are having, influences what leadership is and what it means to its women.What do women leaders have in common?【答案】51. similarity/similarities52. freely/casually53. exposed54. top 55. owed/attributed56. education/schooling57. against58. marrying59. harder 60. means/matters【解析】这是一篇说明文。

研究人员采访了一些国家的女性,询问她们通往领导岗位的道路。

这些女性在谈到她们如何成为领导者时都有一些相似之处。

他们都将成功归功于自己所生长的家庭环境。

同时结合了Igoye、Ben和Chahal三位女性的自身经历得出结论:女性的领袖对于国家和其他女性而言意义重大。

【51题详解】根据第一段第一句On the surface, one would be hard-pressed to find many similarities between German chancellor Angela Merkel, Bangladeshi prime minister Sheikh Hasina, and Liberian president Ellen Johnson Sirleaf可知这些女性领导人来自不同的文化和政治背景,但她们有什么相似点吗?故填similarity/similarities。

【52题详解】第二段第三行…finding their voices and confidence at dinner—table conversations with their families.她们可以在晚饭时间在饭桌上自由的演说。

故填freely/ casually。

【53题详解】根据第二段最后一句话Their parents talked about politics, about what was happening in the community, and when the women had something to say, their parents didn't stop them,可知她们的父母谈论政治,谈论社区里发生的事情,当女性有话要说时,她们的父母没有阻止她们。
