专题08 任务型阅读&阅读回答问题&阅读表达-备考中考英语一模分项讲解和真题练习（江苏专用）


解答阅读表达题, 要注意以下原则:
第一 能简略回答，尽量简略回答。
第二 句子开头首字母要大写；标点符号要规范；单词拼写要正确无误，书写要认真。
第三 对句子的人称，时态，单复数，主谓搭配等方面进行核对。

审题时要注意两个方面:
(1)看清提问方式。要分清是一般疑问句、选择疑问句还是特殊疑问句。
(2)要辨别问题类型。阅读表达主要分为细节理解题、主旨大意题、信息归纳题以及开放性问答题。
①细节理解题
例原文:On the first day of school, our professor introduced a little old lady to us.
问题:Who did the professor introduce on the first day of school?
思路:通过审题后寻读,考生应回答:A little old lady.

②主旨大意题
★有些文章主旨大意清晰明了,考生只需从原文中提取信息即可。
例原文:Each educational system has its own advantages. For example, the Japanese students learn more math and science than American students by the end of high school. The advantage of the educational system in America is that students learn to think by themselves. The teaching method makes them more creative.
问题:What does the writer want to tell us?
思路:通过略读寻找关键句,考生应回答:Each educational system has its own advantages.
★有些文章除了需要把握首尾段或段落首尾关键句之外,考生还要把握全文结构,分清段落层次,从而归纳出主旨大意。
例 原文:首段末句:But what about blue food?
第二段末句:Children still preferred the sweets that were the usual colors of red, green, brown, yellow and orange.
第三段末句:This is perhaps why we don’t usually use blue food coloring for drinks, cakes and other food.
第四段首句:Some people say we eat with our eyes.
尾段:So will we ever see blue foods on our plates? The answer seems to be “no”, at least in countries like the UK and the USA.
问题:What is the passage mainly about?
思路:通过略读寻找首尾段的关键句,并结合人们不喜欢蓝色食物的现象以及原因,考生应总结答案为:People don’t like the blue food and the reasons.

③信息归纳题
例 原文:I never knew her and nor did I know what to do, but I was there, saying some comforting words to a stranger in pain. I asked her to stand still for a few minutes. We then looked for a place for her to sit. From out of nowhere, her friend joined us.
问题:What did the writer do for the girl?
思路:通过寻读并整合信息,考生应回答出两点:The writer said some comforting words to her and looked for a place for her to sit.

④开放性问答题
例 原文:According to an international survey in 2016, young people in emerging(新兴的)countries like China and India have a greater sense of hope for the future, compared with those living in developed areas such as Europe, North America and Australia.
…
It was found that 53% of those questioned in China thought the world was becoming a better place—the highest among the countries surveyed. Some of them also felt hopeful about the future because of the development of technology.
However, young people in France, Italy and Turkey had a pessimistic outlook on the future.
问题:What’s your opinion of the future? And why?
思路:通过阅读获悉在新兴国家,如中国和印度,年轻人由于技术的进步对未来充满希望,而法国、意大利和土耳其的年轻人则持消极态度。此题虽为开放性题目,但考生应结合自身国籍考虑,参考答案为:I feel hopeful about the future, because the technology is developing quickly.

任务型阅读题：
考生首先必须通读全文，在理解全文大意的前提下，再在具体空格处不确定时，定位到具体段落的具体句子，通过句型转换、同义词、反义词等方式灵活转换，得到所需答案。有时候是需要高度概括的词汇作为答案，则考查考生的概括能力。

五、阅读填空（共20小题；每小题1分，满分20分）
阅读下面短文，根据所读内容，在文章后的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。

Dreams are stories or a series of events that take place in a person’s mind while they are asleep. You dream around four to six times a night, even if you can’t remember them in the morning. Scientists don’t really know for sure for why we do it. One theory is that sleep is a chance for the brain to deal with thoughts and feelings—keeping things it thinks are important in memories and getting rid of others. Another theory says dreams can help you see things from different points of view and could even help you solve problems.
There are two main phases (阶段) of sleep. These are rapid eye movement(REM), when the eyes move quickly in lots of directions behind closed eyelids (眼睑), and non-rapid eye movement. You can dream in either phase, but it’s most likely to be during the REM phase, which happens about 90 minutes after you fall asleep. This is when brain activity increases until your mind is almost as busy as it is when you’re awake. Many scientists think that animals including cats and dogs can dream because they experience REM sleep.
It is a good idea to go to sleep at about the same time each night. It is also important to give yourself time to relax. This could be by reading or listening to relaxing music. Try to stay away from bright lights and screens, such as phones, tablets or TVs. If you find you are worrying about something, have a notepad by the bed. You can write down your worry, close the pad and put the thought out of your mind, then deal with it the next day. You could also write down your dreams when you wake up (if you can remember them).

七、阅读与回答问题（本题共5小题;每小题2分，满分10分）
请认真阅读下面短文，并根据短文内容回答问题。
Zhou Jiangtao passed away at only 17 years old. He got bone cancer when he was 13. Four days before the announcement of his death, he asked to donate his organs (器官). “I do know the pain of suffering from disease and the helplessness of having no cure (治愈方法) …I’ve seen so much sadness and regret and want to offer help.”
On the day he ‘‘left’’, two patients who had been waiting for cornea transplants (角膜移植) were told they would get donations. Zhou’s body was moved to Zhejieng University School of Medicine on the same day.
It has been 12 years since China started a national pilot (试点) programme for human organ donation. According to the China Organ Donation Administrative Center, about 300,000 people across China are waiting for life-sustaining (维持生命的) organ transplants, but only 20, 000 receive transplants each year.
In recent years, organ donation and transplantation have gotten more public support in China. As of April 2, more than 4. 62 million people had signed up (登记) for organ donation, said the center. As many as 75 people can benefit from a single donor (捐献者). There’s no age limit to donation, while people under 18 need a guardian’s consent (监护人同意).
In China, there are some deeply rooted traditions about the bodies of dead people. For example, many believe the body is a gift from one’s parents. So, they think dead bodies must be kept complete.
But many others have changed their beliefs. Donating organs is a way to help others and extend (延展) the meaning of one’s life. Increased willingness has been seen among young and
middle-aged people, noted People’s Daily. “Dedication (奉献) makes life more precious (宝贵的) than oneself,” Zhou once said.
76. What did Zhou Jiangtao decide to donate?
___________________________________________________________________________
77. What does the underlined word “left” in Paragragh 2 mean in English?
___________________________________________________________________________

【76题详解】
根据“he asked to donate his organs”可知他决定捐献器官。故填His organs.
【77题详解】
根据“On the day he ‘‘left’’, two patients who had been waiting for cornea transplants”可知病人在等待角膜移植，说明他去世了，故“left”意为“去世”，可表示为passed away/died/lost his life。故填Passed away/Died/Lost his life。
【78题详解】
根据“It has been 12 years since China started a national pilot (试点) programme”可知中国启动人体器官捐献国家试点已有12年，即12年前开始试点。故填12 years ago.

In this way, people can receive books that are chosen just for them.
During the lockdown (疫情封锁), he offered free books to over 70 people who were staying at home and couldn’t go out. Sam wanted to do something that might make these people feel better and happier.

请认真阅读下面短文，用英语回答短文后的问题，并将答案写在答题卡标有题号的横线上。
I always wanted to look like the slim girls on TV even though I knew that it was impossible. I worried about my weight and tried every new diet I read about online. I tried no-fat low fat 5: 2. Only bananas no bananas — I almost went bananas, too.
Then I read an article that said instead of asking “Am I fat?” I should be asking “Am I fit?” I had no idea a letter could make such a difference! Once I started thinking about fitness rather than weight, things began to change. Instead of saying “I want to lose three kilos”, I would say “I want to run two kilometres in eight minutes” or “ I want to be able to do 30 push-up”. Rather than cutting out the foods I enjoyed, I added healthy foods to my meals. I could still have a burger now and then, but I would add a salad or an apple.
Finally, I stopped comparing myself with actresses and models and looking for things that were wrong with my face or body. Instead, I made a list of the things I liked about myself.
58. What was the writer worried about in the past?
_____________________________________________________________________
59. When did the whole things begin to change?
_____________________________________________________________________
60. Do you think the writer will be satisfied with herself? Why or why not?

四、阅读表达（共5小题，每小题2分，计10分）

China’s first Mars rover (火星巡视器), Zhurong, drove down to the Martian surface at 10:40 a.m. (Beijing Time), May 22 and started exploring (探索), leaving the first mark of China on the red planet. It marched 0.522 meters on the surface of Mars to mark the important date.
Zhurong looks like a beautiful blue butterfly (蝴蝶). It is 3.3 meters long, 3.2 meters wide and 1.85 meters high. It has a three-Martian day cycle: first day for environmental perception (感知环境), second day for movement, and the last for scientific exploration.
Because of the bad Martian environment, Zhurong can work only one to two hours each time. It has to face a number of difficulties in order to work on Mars, such as the bad sunlight, low temperature, bad Earth-Mars communication and sand storms. For example, Zhurong cannot be controlled in real time. That makes its communication with the Earth really hard. The temperature on Mars falls below -130℃ a night. It’s also a huge challenge for Zhurong. What’s more, the wind on Mars could reach 180 meters a second, which is more than three times faster than a super typhoon (台风) on Earth. Such winds could start huge sand storms. These sand storms make Zhurong’s work harder. To deal with these difficulties, Zhurong works by itself for most of the time.

_____________________________
46. What does Zhurong look like?

Baby panda says hello to world
Three years ago, Bing Dwen Dwen became the mascot（吉祥物）for the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics.
The design comes from 5,816 works from 38 countries and areas. Cao Xue, the chief designer of Bing Dwen Dwen, said the idea first came from the traditional Chinese snack bingtanghulu. But a simple snack couldn’t stand for（代表）a country by itself. Cao’s team tried many animals and plants and finally decided on a panda.
However, there were already too many cartoon images of pandas. Cao first decided that it should be a baby panda instead of an adult one, so its body is as long as its head.
Cao’s team looked all over the world to collect all the panda designs they could find. They wanted to make sure their panda looked special. They visited the panda nature reserve in Wolong, Sichuan, to get ideas. They found that baby pandas are pigeon-toed（内八字）and often lean in while standing.
Now the panda in an ice shell is made into toys and models, as well as printed on notebooks, badges（徽章）and bags. People of all ages like them very much. “Design is like dancing with chains. I’m glad we performed（表演）a good dance.” Cao said.

If you look around your city, you might find girls wearing hanfu in subways or people wearing T-shirt with Chinese characters on the street. A new trend (潮流) is taking hold in China — guochao, or China-chic.
According to a recent report, searches about guochao on a lifestyle website have risen by 170 percent from the same period last year, and reviews have risen by nearly 40 percent. The guochao trend is happening, but what is it?
The term stands for the rise of China’s own fashion trends. It adds new meaning to the term “Made in China”, which has been considered as the representation of Chinese culture and aesthetics (美学) offered by Chinese brands.
The guochao trend attracted people’s attention in 2018. Before that, big-name foreign companies ruled the world market. To win market share, many Chinese brands followed in the footsteps of those western brands. But that year, Chinese sportswear brand Li-Ning changed things up. During the 2018 New York Fashion Week, Li-Ning introduced its Taoism (道家) -inspired Wu Dao collection (系列时装). The collection not only had a trendy look, but also had something to do with traditional Chinese culture. It immediately drew attention at home and abroad. As a result, the company recorded 20 percent revenue (收益) growth in 2018.
The trend has spread rapidly to other areas and products, from food and drinks to clothing, mobile phones and electric vehicles. For example, White Rabbit, whose candies bring back childhood memories for many people, has brought its new products out.
Now, the guochao trend is moving to the next stage. But no matter how the guochao trend develops, there is one thing that won’t change: Behind the craze (热潮) is people’s confidence in the country’s development and national culture.

Reading is fun! You can also analyze texts（文本）to learn more from the texts and about the texts. One way you can do this with fiction books, passages, or poems is by exploring their themes.
A theme is a central idea running throughout the text, connecting the characters and events. The writer may express his or her thoughts about humanity or a worldview through a theme. Themes can be ideas like friendship, bravery, love, honesty or family. Make sure you know what the writer is saying.
Sometimes, themes are hard to find out. First, the theme may not be able to be included in just one word like the examples above. There may also be more than one theme in the text. What’s more, some themes are not presented in the words directly. You have to use clues in the texts to find them.
To start exploring the theme, first you need to make sure you’ve read the whole text. Since themes develop over time, you can’t fully understand the underlying themes until the end of the text. Then, ask yourself to sum up（概括）the text and try to work out a “big idea”. For example, did many characters resolve problems with their families? If there was only one small problem with a character’s family, then “family” might not be the theme of the text. Finally, after finding out a “big idea”, go through the text to find examples that support this idea. You needn’t repeat every detail of the story-a few key examples will be fine.
Now you are ready to explore the theme of a text!
Exploring the ___75___ of a text
Main points
Detailed information
___76___ is a theme?
● A theme is a ___77___idea that connects the characters and events.

●There may also be more than one theme in the text.
● Some themes are not presented in a ___81___ way.
How can you explore the theme?
●Read the text till the ___82___ to fully understand the themes.
●Work out a “big idea” of the text by summing up the text.
●Find some key examples to ___83___ the “big idea”. It’s not ___84___ to repeat every detail.
【答案】
75. theme 76. What 77. central 78. writer’s 79. hard##difficult 80. include
81. direct 82. end 83. support 84. necessary
【解析】阅读是有趣的，我们可以通过分析文本、探索主题来帮助阅读。本文向我们介绍了探索主题的方法。
【75题详解】
根据“To start exploring the theme”可知，是探索主题，故填theme。
【76题详解】
根据“A theme is a central idea running throughout the text, connecting the characters and events.”可知，本栏主要叙述什么是主题，故填What。
【77题详解】
根据“A theme is a central idea running throughout the text, connecting the characters and events.”可知，主题是贯穿全文的中心思想，故填central。

There was once a boy who was out playing in a field with his friends. As they were playing, the boy came across a stone that looked interesting. It wasn’t as dull (黯淡无光的) as the other stones. It was a little bit shiny. But it was still quite dirty. The boy picked it up and decided to polish (擦亮) it.
His friends laughed at him for this. They said, “Why are you polishing that old dirty stone? You are so stupid.” But every day, when they went out to play, the boy would bring the stone with him, polishing it no matter when they took breaks.
This went on for some time. Then one day, the boy left his home to join his friends as usual. He had quite a surprise for them. When he showed them the stone, they were amazed. It was, in fact, not a common stone at all—it was a beautiful diamond. The boy had stayed up all night, polishing it until it was completely clean.
There will be times in your life where people will try to discourage you. They will tell you that you’re wasting your time on some meaningless task.

Beauty in Common Things
Each different part of China has its own special forms of traditional art. These usually try to show the things that are important in life, such as love, beauty and family. The most common things, from paper to clay to bamboo, are turned into objects of beauty.

According to Chinese history, sky lanterns were first used by Zhuge Kongming. He sent them out to ask for help when in trouble. Today, sky lanterns are used at festivals and other celebrations. They are made of bamboo and covered with paper. When the lanterns are lit, they slowly rise into the air like small hot-air balloons for all to see. They are seen as bright symbols of happiness and good wishes.

Paper cutting has been around for over 1,500 years. Paper cutting sounds very, easy but it can be difficult to do. The paper, usually red, is folded before it is cut with scissors. The most common pictures are flowers, animals, and things about Chinese history. During the Spring Festival, they are put on windows, doors and walls as symbols of wishes for good luck and a happy new year.

Chinese clay (黏土) art is famous because the clay pieces are so small but they look very real. The pieces are usually cute children or lively characters from a Chinese fairy tale or historical story. The pieces are carefully shaped by hand from a very special kind of clay and then allowed to air-dry. After drying, they are fired at a very high heat. They are then polished and painted.

Paying for bus rides with plastic usually makes people think of plastic bus cards. But one Indonesian city has decided to accept plastic recyclable waste in place of money for city buses.
Surabaya, Indonesia’s second largest city, located on the eastern end of the country’s main island Java, made this decision in April 2018. Now, locals can pay for their bus rides by putting plastic cups or bottles directly on the bus. A two-hour bus ride costs 10 plastic cups or 5 bottles.
Indonesia is the second largest ocean plastic polluter, producing up to 2.4 million tons of plastic waste into the oceans every year according to a report. Only in Surabaya nearly 400 tons of plastic waste is produced every day. The head of Surabaya’s transportation department (交通部门) said, “With this decision, we hope to raise public awareness (意识) about environment, especially people’s awareness about plastic waste.”
Each city bus can collect up to 550 pounds of plastic bottles and cups every day. The collected bottles are sold to recycling companies and the money earned from it goes toward running the bus companies and providing money for green spaces in the city. This is certainly turning rubbish into a national treasure.
The decision is part of the city’s purpose to become plastic waste-free by 2020. In order to encourage local people to take buses, the city also added the new Surabaya buses. The new buses are air-conditioned, comfortable and easy for elderly and disabled passengers to get on and off.
The program is well received. People in Surabaya said, “We can reduce waste so it doesn’t pile up at home because we can just bring it in and make good use of it. It is a win-win situation.”

And it does not have the ability to select the news angle from an interview or a speech, either.

Primary and junior high school students now are allowed to stay at school for two hours after school is over. Students can enjoy their hobbies. They can also take part in other after-school activities.
This is one of the key measures (措施) of the “double reduction” policy (“双减”政策) across the country. The policy tries to reduce students’ stress caused by too much homework and off-campus training.
When students leave school, they can see their parents, instead of their grandparents, waiting outside to pick them up. Students are happy about it, and so are their parents.
“It’s good that I can come to pick up my son,” said Mrs Wang, a mother of a second grader. “I’ve bought extra exercise books for him to do since he has no homework now. I still need to know how well he has learned.”
The changes also mean that students can choose to do their homework at school after school is over.
“We have a reading course after classes end at 4 pm,” said Zhang Zirui, a primary school student. “Then we do our homework at school. I don’t have to do homework when I go back home.”
Lan Lan, a student at a junior high school, has less homework now. “The teacher has cut out the repetitive (重复的) contents in the homework, which I welcome a lot,” she said, “and there are lots of afterschool activities for us to take part in. It’s great.”

It “eats” while walking. Wow, it “eats up” all the cotton in the field! The big guy “lays eggs” next. Look, it has left some round and tall cotton “eggs”! Then, farmers can pick up the cotton.

My father loves his garden. He planted some seeds in it. But at that time, I didn’t understand why working in the dirt excited him so much.
Unluckily, in early May, my father was seriously hurt in an accident. He had to stay in bed for a while. I didn’t want my father to worry, so I said that I would take care of his garden until he was well. I thought that the little plants would continue to grow as long as they had water, and luckily it rained very often, so I didn’t think much about the garden.
One Saturday morning, my father said to me, “Christine, the vegetables should be about ready to be picked. Let’s have a salad today!” I went out to the garden and was sad to see that many of the lettuce leaves and carrots had been half eaten by bugs (虫子). There were hundreds of bugs all over them! I had no choice but to go to the nearest store to buy some vegetables.
When I gave the salad to him, he said, “Oh, Christine, what a beautiful salad! I can’t believe the carrots are this big already. You must be taking very good care of my garden.” I felt a bit guilty. After that, I looked after the garden carefully, and weeks later I was finally able to pick some.
I carefully made a salad and took it to my father. He looked at it with a smile. “My good girl, the carrots are smaller in this salad, but they taste better.”
Now, I better understand how putting a lot of effort into caring for something can help you enjoy the results more, however small they may be. Perhaps this was one of the reasons for my father’s love of gardening.

People have been using the wind’s energy for a long, long time. More than 5,000 years ago, ancient Egyptians made boats powered by the wind. In 200 B.C., people used windmills(风车)in China.
Today, we collect the wind’s energy with wind turbines(涡轮). A turbine is similar to a windmill; it is a very tall tower with two or three blades (叶片) at the top. These blades are turned by the wind. The blades turn a generator(发电机) located inside the tower, which creates power.
Groups of wind turbines are known as wind farms. Wind farms can be found near farmland, in narrow mountain passes and even in the ocean, where there are stronger winds. Wind farms create power for nearby homes, schools and other buildings.
In places like the Midwest and along coasts, winds can provide cheap power. Another great advantage of wind power is that it is a clean form of energy. Wind turbines do not burn oil or coal and do not pollute the air.
Wind is not always an ideal source of energy, however. Wind speed changes from time to time, depending on the time of day, weather and location. Wind turbines can be also dangerous for bats and birds. These animals cannot always tell how fast the blades are moving and crash into them.
阅读以上信息，用恰当的单词完成下面的短文，每空一词。
The wind’s energy is important for humans. People in Egypt made wind powered boats ____56____ 5,000 years ago. People in China used windmills in 200 B.C.

【58题详解】
根据“Wind farms create power for nearby homes, schools and other buildings.”风电场为附近的家庭、学校和其他建筑物提供电力。所以电力应该是被提供，被动语态结构：be+done。故填created。
【59题详解】
根据“In places like the Midwest and along coasts, winds can provide cheap power.”可知，在中西部和沿海地区，风可以提供廉价的电力，所以风能可以低成本发电，“low cost”意为“低成本”，故填cost。
【60题详解】
根据“Wind speed changes from time to time, depending on the time of day, weather and location.”可知，风速根据一天中的时间、天气和位置不时变化，所以风速并不是一直相同的，故填speed。

“Don’t judge a book by its cover,” the old saying goes. Unluckily, as a teenager, that is often exactly what you do to yourself. So it is important to guard against the causes behind them.
Standards of beauty in the media can have a big influence on what you think of your physical appearance. Teens find they are unable to copy the looks of their favourite stars. They will only end up feeling worse about themselves.
Your friends also influence the way you view your physical appearance. If you have friends who are good-looking or have a great fashion sense, it can feel like you are living in their shadow. For children of digital age, social media makes his problem even worse. Your friends may post a “never ending” series of photos online to show off their beautiful dresses or strong bodies, and you will compare yourself to them more easily.
These external influences are always present, but there are certainly ways to deal with them. First of all, be careful not to follow popular beauty standards blindly.
Another tip is to remind yourself that you are unique(独一无二的). Keep in mind that your family and friends love you just the way you are.
You may often judge yourself by what is on the outside, not on the inside. However, like a book, your contents are much more important than your cover. If you can learn to see the good things about yourself—your individuality, your value to others, your achievements—you will soon begin to love yourself just the way you are.
阅读以上信息，用恰当的单词完成下面的表格，每空一词。

【61题详解】

【62题详解】
根据“Teens find they are unable to cory the looks of their favourite stars. They will only end up feeling worse about themselves.”可知青少年发现他们无法模仿他们最喜欢的明星。他们最终只会自我感觉更糟。也就是当青少年可能会发现不可能模仿他们最喜欢的明星的长相时，这将使他们感觉更糟。impossible“不可能的”，是形容词作宾语补足语，故填impossible。
【63题详解】
根据“For children of digital age, social media makes his problem even worse. Your friends may post a “never ending” series of photos online to show off their beautiful dresses or strong bodies, and you will compare yourself to them more easily”（对于数字时代的孩子来说，社交媒体让他的问题更加严重。你的朋友可能会在网上发布一系列“永无止境”的照片来炫耀他们漂亮的衣服或强壮的身体，你会更容易地与他们比较）可知数字时代和社交媒体让你比以前更容易与朋友比较。easier“更容易的”，是形容词比较级，故填easier。
【64题详解】
根据“These external influences are always present, but there are certainly ways to deal with them. First of all, be careful not to follow popular beauty standards blindly.”（这些外部影响总是存在的，但肯定有办法应对它们。首先，注意不要盲目地遵循流行的美容标准。）可知要避免盲目遵循流行的审美标准。avoid“避免”，动词，此处是祈使句，动词用原形，故填Avoid。
【65题详解】
根据“If you can learn to see the good things about yourself—your individuality, your value to others, your achievements—you will soon begin to love yourself just the way you are.”（如果你能学会看到自己的优点，你的个性，你对他人的价值，你的成就，你很快就会开始爱你自己。）可知如果你开始知道你是多么的特别和有价值，你取得了怎样的成就，你就会爱自己本来的样子。valuable“有价值的”，是形容词，故填valuable。
