最新中考英语英语任务型阅读理解训练经典题目(附答案)

一、英语任务型阅读

1．根据短文内容，回答下列问题。

Every year, during Chongyang Festival, citizens of China show their respect to the elders in their families and communities. It's a special tradition which is rooted in the deep value that Chinese culture places on honouring their elders.

Sadly, many of our aging population are seniors without sons, daughters or grandchildren to visit. While they may have great friends, they no doubt miss the tender and loving relationships unique to families. To fill this void(空虚),many volunteers turned up at nursing homes around the country in order to spend time with the residents(居民). In some cases, they performed humble(谦逊的) gestures(表示) of kindness, such as combing their hair or washing their feet.

While the kind acts were appreciated, one embarrassing story out of Anhui Province raised a valuable question. Reportedly, one old gentleman had his feet washed seven times during the day by different volunteers. Is this genuinely(真诚地) caring for the elderly? Many of the residents at the nursing home said that those gestures do not make them feel cared for at all. Their family members or community volunteers may drop by for a few hours of token(象征性) time, but soon they disappear back into their busy lives.

There is nothing we can give that is more valuable or appreciated than our time. While you may feel like there is barely enough time to care for your many responsibilities, might it be possible to spare just a moment as you walk home from school to sit with a senior who lives in your community? Just five minutes is not going to prevent you from getting your homework done, but it may totally change a day of loneliness into a day of joy for one old man or woman. Do you live far from your grandparents? Why not pick up the phone and let them know you're thinking of them? Or maybe you could remind them of the "good old days" and mail them a short letter. Imagine their surprise and joy!

We live in a complicated(复杂的) and busy world, but kindness and caring is still a very simple thing.

（1）How many times did one old gentleman have his feet washed during the day? (不超过2个词)

（2）Which gesture can make the elders feel cared for? (不超过8个词)

（3）What may the family members of the residents at the nursing home do? (不超过13个词) 【答案】（1）7 times.

（3）Their family members may drop by for a few hours of token time.

【解析】【分析】主要讲了中国的重阳节是展示对老人尊敬的日子，但是现在空巢老人仅仅在志愿者的陪伴下，自己的家人因为忙碌很少陪伴他们。

（1）根据Reportedly, one old gentleman had his feet washed seven times during the day by different volunteers.可知一个老人的脚由不同的志愿者洗了7次，故填7 times.。

（2）根据might it be possible to spare just a moment as you walk home from school to sit with
