一、高中英语任务型阅读
1．Directions: Read the following passage. 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.

A problem shared can be a problem doubled

People discuss their problems with friends in the hope that they'll gain some idea on how to
solve them. And even if they don't find a way to solve their problems, it feels good to let off some
steam. Indeed, having close friends to trust is a good relief against poor mental health. ________

The term psychologist's use for negative problem sharing is
the mutual encouragement to discuss problems too much, repeatedly going over the same
problems, expecting future problems and focusing on negative feelings. It is more about keeping
talking about problems than solving them. ________ In a study involving children aged seven to
15 years of age, researchers found that co-rumination in both boys and girls is associated with
and close friendships. However, in girls, it was also associated with anxiety and
depression (the same association was not found with the boys).

If we look at the theory behind why individuals ruminate, it may shed some light on why
friends co-ruminate. ________ So if two people believe rumination is beneficial, then working
together to co-ruminate to find answers may seem like a useful thing to do, as two heads may
appear better than one. But focusing on problems and negative emotion together can increase
negative beliefs and moods — and result in a greater need to co-ruminate.

Traditionally, therapy has not prioritised handling rumination or co-rumination directly as
maintaining factors in psychological problems. Instead, approaches such as cognitive behavioral
therapy (CBT) have aimed to challenge only the content of rumination. Humanistic approaches
such as counselling have provided conditions to potentially ruminate on the content of problems.
And psychodynamic (心理动力的) approaches such as psychoanalysis have aimed to analyze the
content of rumination.

________ But if this occurs in therapy, a strong therapeutic relationship may well be a positive
outcome of co-rumination — regardless of whether the client's symptoms improve or not.

And, on the social side, discussing problems with friends doesn't always have to lead to
worsening mental health, as long as the discussion involves finding solutions and the person with
the problem acts on those solutions. Then, relationships can be positive and beneficial to both
parties, and a problem shared can really be a problem halved.

A. According to a leading theory on rumination, people believe that it will help them find answers
and make them feel better.

B. How you co-ruminate matters too.

C. Focusing on the content of rumination runs the risk of fostering co-rumination between client
and therapist.

D. How problems are discussed, though, can be the difference between halving a problem or
doubling it.

E. Co- rumination with work colleagues can increase the risk of stress and tiredness, one study
suggests.

F. Research shows that co- rumination is a double-edged sword.

【答案】 D；F；A；C

Why the youth sense anger in faces

We tend to believe that older people are more positive and younger people are more sensitive
to social cues (暗示).

Recently scientists investigated this idea by testing 10,000 men and women. They wanted to
see if age affected a person's ability to identify facial emotions, such as fear and anger.

The researchers from McLean Hospital in the US used a Web-based platform to collect
happiness data. It showed the participants two headshots (头部特写)of random people. They
were then asked to identify which subject was angrier, happier, or more fearful.

The research found that younger people were able to better identify angry and fearful facial
cues than older people.

studies and anecdotal evidence, we know that the everyday experiences of an
adolescent are different from an older person, but we wanted to understand how these
experiences might be linked with differences in basic emotion understanding,wrote Laura
Germine, the study's senior author.

But what is it that makes young people more sensitive?


such as bullying,Lauren Rutter, the study's lead author, told Science Daily. normal
development of anger sensitivity can contribute to some of the challenges that arise during this
phase of development.

On the contrary across the whole 10,000-person survey, researchers found no decline in the
perception (感知)of happiness among older participants.


but here we did not see such declines in the perception of happiness, Germine told Neuro
Science News.

She added that these findings fit well with other researches, showing that older adults tend to
have more positive emotions and a positive outlook.

Following the paper's release, Rutter told Neuro Science News that gathering their primary
research online allowed the team to research into a

3．阅读短文，并按照题目要求用英语回答问题。

At the age of forty-five, my usually well-ordered life became full of changes. After twenty-two
years of working in a bank, a plan to use less staff led to the unemployment of over one hundred
people. Unluckily, I was one of them.

My once secure future became uncertain. However, I was not a single parent, so the family did
not depend only on my income and my husband can support the family. My motto has always
been,

as bad luck, but as a welcome chance. I refused to become sorry; instead, I actively planned to do
something new and different.

Having a positive attitude made all the difference in the way I pursued the future. First, I
decided to return to college and graduate many years later than I should have. Doing this at my
age took more than a little courage. Not being a graduate had never held me back in my career in
the bank, but now it's a personal goal I longed to achieve. With a lot of determination, I went to
evening classes and became an adult student. In the class, I became more and more confident.
During this time, I realized that no matter what life throws in our way, nothing can hinder our
personal growth.

The second thing I did to improve my inner self was to reevaluate my past life. It used to be
filled with endless, and sometimes meaningless events. But now, my heart and life are completely
around people I care for.

The loss of my job led to some positive changes in my life. Revisiting the past made room for
the future. I realize that I have accepted the change, and am making the most of it.

（1）What made the author lose her job? (no more than 10 words)

（2）What did the author do after the unemployment? (no more than 15 words)

（3）How do you understand the underlined word in Paragraph 3? (no more than 3 words)

（4）How would you describe the author in terms of personalities? (no more than 5 words)

（5）What's your attitude towards the
words)

【答案】 （1）The bank's plan to use less staff. Or: Less staff in the bank.

（2）Return to college and reevaluate her past : Return to college and devote more time
to her beloved people.

（3）stop/ prevent; prohibit /forbid

（4）She is optimistic and determined. Or: She is active and adaptable.

（5）I will accept the changes and try my best to live a positive life. Or: I will make use of every
chance to be successful in my life.

【解析】【分析】本文是一篇 记叙文，生活中充满了变数,作者用自己的经历告诉我们要接
受并善于利用这些改变。

（1）考查细节理解。根据第一段中的plan to use less staff led to the unemployment of
over one hundred people. Unluckily, was one of them.可知,银行的裁员计划让作者失业了,故
填The bank's plan to use less staff. /Less staff in the bank.

（2）考查细节理解。根据第三段中的及第四段中的
second thing I did to improve my inner self was to reevaluate my past life.可知,失业后,作者回
到大学并重新评估自己过去的生活,故填Return to college and reevaluate her past life。
/Return to college and devote more time to her beloved people.

（3）考查句义猜测。根据画线词后的personal growth可 知,无论生活给我们带来了什
么（变化）,没有什么能阻碍我们的个人成长,由此可知画线词词义为阻碍 故填stop/
prevent; prohibit /forbid。

（4）考查概括归纳。根据第二段中的
welcome chance. I refused to become sorry; instead, I actively planned to do something new and
different.可知,作者把失业看作一个好机会而不是 坏运气,拒绝难过,积极地去做一些新的、
不同的事情,下文又说作者回到大学并重新评估过去的生活, 由此可见,作者积极、乐观、有
决心并且适应能力强,故填She is optimistic and determined./She is active and adaptable.

（5）考查观点态度。根据最后一段中的loss of my job led to some positive changes in
my life.及可知,我会接受生活中的
变化并积极地生活,故填I will accept the changes and try my best to live a positive life./I will
make use of every chance to be successful in my life.

4．Directions: Complete the following passage by using the sentences given below. Each
sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.

In business, there is a speed difference: It's the difference between how important firm leaders
say speed is to their competitive strategy and how fast the company actually moves. The
difference is important regardless of industry and company size. ________

In our study of 343 businesses, the companies that choose to go, go, go to try to gain an edge
ended up with lower sales and operating incomes than those that paused at key moments to
make sure they were on the right track. What's more, the firms that “slowed down to speed up
“improved their top and bottom lines, averaging 40% higher sales and 52% higher operating
incomes over a three- year period.

________ They thought differently about what
fail to understand the difference between operation speed (moving quickly )and strategic speed
(reducing the time it takes to deliver value ).Simply increasing the speed of production, for
example ,may be one way to try to reduce the speed difference .But that often leads to reduced
value over time, in the form of lower-quality products and services.

In our study, higher- performing companies with strategic speed always made changes when
necessary. They became more open to ideas and discussion. ________ And they allowed time to
look back and learn. By contrast, performance suffered at firms that moved fast all the time, paid
too much attention to improving efficiency, stuck to tested methods, didn't develop team spirit
among their employees, and had little time thinking about changes.

Strategic speed serves as a kind of leadership. ________ That kind of strategy must come from
the top.

A. How did they disobey the laws of business physics, taking more time than competitors yet
performing better?

B. Teams that regularly take time to get things right, rather than plough ahead full bore, are more
successful in meeting their business goals.

C. More haste, less speed, which in the study proves wrong.

D. Companies fearful of losing their competitive advantage spend much time and money looking
for ways to pick up the speed.

E. They valued efficiency rather than consideration.

F. They encouraged new ways of thinking.

【答案】 D；A；F；B

5．Directions: 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.

The art of academic writing is not easy to master. ________ Academic writing is the skilful
exposition and explanation of an argument, which the writer has carefully researched and
developed over a sustained period of time. ________ But the joy of reading and sharing with
others, one's succinctly composed piece of argument, is incomparable.

Before beginning to write, the writer must ask himself a few questions – Why am I writing?
What is it that I intend to share with others? What purpose will my writing serve? Have I read
enough about the topic or theme about which I am going to write? ________ Because academic
writing is a serious activity – it makes one part of a shared community of readers and writers who
wish to disseminate and learn from well-argued pieces of writing.

The structure of an argumentative essay should take the form of – Introduction (which should
be around ten percent of the entire essay), Body (it should constitute eighty percent of the piece)
and the Conclusion (again, ten per cent of the essay). ________ The body should include cogent
and coherently linked paragraphs and the conclusion should re-state the argument and offer a
substantial ending to the piece.

A. These questions may well get clearer and clearer during the process of academic writing.

B. The introduction should function as the hook which draws the reader in and holds his
attention.

C. It is a formal skill, which requires precision and accuracy, and is perfected by continuous and
dedicated practice.

D. If one is hesitant to answer even one of the aforementioned questions, one had better not
write at all!

E. It may take one a considerable period of time to know the skills of academic writing, even long
after his/her college graduation.

F. It is a time-consuming activity and demands patience and perseverance.


【答案】 C；F；D；B

accuracy, and is perfected by continuous and dedicated practice. “它是一种正式的技能，需要精确和准确，并通过持续和专门的时间来完善”符合语境，故选C。

（2）考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。根据空前“which the writer has carefully
researched and developed over a sustained period of time.”可知，论文写作需要作者进行长期
的认真研究 ，此处说的应该还是和花费时间有关的内容，的故 F. It is a time-consuming
activity and demands patience and perseverance. “这是一项耗时的活动，需要耐心和毅力”符
合语境，故选F。

（3）考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。本空前提到了一系列的问题，此处承接上
文，讲 的还是关于那些问题的内容，D项中的the aforementioned questions正好与前面提
到的问题相对应，故 D. If one is hesitant to answer even one of the aforementioned questions,
one had better not write at all! “如果一个人对回答上述任何一个问题都犹豫不决，他最好不
要写”符合语境，故选D。

（4）考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。根据空前“The structure of an argumentative
essay should take the form of – Introduction (which should be around ten percent of the entire
essay), Body (it should constitute eighty percent of the piece) and the Conclusion (again, ten per
cent of the essay). ”可知，论文由引言和正文两部分组成，下文介绍了关于正文的内容，此
处讲的应该是关于引言的内容， 故 B. The introduction should function as the hook which
draws the reader in and holds his attention. “引言应该起到吸引读者注意力的作用”符合语
境，故选B。

box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you
need.

Traffic Regulation and Accident Prevention

We live in a remarkable time, and many of the once fatal diseases can now be cured with
modern medicine and surgery. It is almost certain that one day a cure will be found for the rest of
the diseases. Expectations of life have greatly increased. But though the possibility of living a long
and happy life is greater than ever before, every day we witness the incredible killing of men,
women and children on the roads. Man fights against the motor-car. It is a never-ending battle
which man is losing. ________

Nothing can seriously increase your risk of potentially fatal car accidents other than speeding and
failing to pay due attention to weather conditions. ________ There is no doubt that the motor-
car often brings out a man's very worst qualities. Usually quiet and pleasant people, when they
are behind the steering wheel, will become unrecognizable. They are impolite, aggressive, self-
willed like two- year-old, completely selfish. All their hidden frustrations, disappointments, and
jealousy seem to be caused by driving.

________ It's all for his own convenience. Due to a serious tragedy, the city is almost
uninhabitable and the huge parking lot makes the town ugly. The destruction of rural areas and
the annual mass killings are just a statistic, easily forgotten. With regard to driving, the laws of
some countries are not strict and even the strictest are not strict enough.

Traffic rules are for everyone to follow under any circumstances, and no one can make an
exception unless you make a joke of your own life. Universally accepted standards can only have a
significant beneficial on the incidence of accidents. Governments should develop safety codes for
manufacturers. ________ These measures may sound cruel. However, if these measures result in
a reduction in the loss of life every year, they should certainly not be considered serious. After all,
the world belongs to humans, not cars.

A. There are five reason for the accident and you are guilty.

B. Every year thousands of people are horribly killed, and we sit still and let it happen.

C. Surprisingly, society should smile at the driver and forgive him.

D. Someone has rightly said that when a person is sitting behind the steering wheel, his car
becomes an extension of his personality.

E. All advertisements that emphasize power and performance should be banned.

F. It is time to develop a universal norm to reduce this senseless waste of human life.


【答案】 B；D；C；E

（4）考查词义猜测。根据第四段中的“…but you can't remove natural noise caused by
thunder and lightning, rainstorms, or snowstorms.”但你却不能去除掉由雷电，暴雨，或暴风
雪 造成的天然的噪声）可推测，前一句“you can electronically eliminate all kinds of noise from
the signal”的意思“你可以通过电子 手段消除信号中的各种噪声”。因此，remove（去除）应
与划线部分的单词是同义词故答案为re move。

（5）考查开放题。本题问的是：你怎样做才能解决失去与他人直接交流的问题？根据文
中第二段I dislike the Internet. The problem is that we're losing primary contact with each other.
No more shaking hands. Everyone is so busy.可知，由于有了互联网 以后，人们都忙着上网
了，才使得人们失去了直接接触的机会。故答案概括为：We should reduce the time we
spend on the Internet and find more time to communicate with others.也可以发表自己的意
见，但注意不要超过20个单词。

8．根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填人空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余< br>选项。

When big news breaks, it's easy to get caught up in following the story online. The Internet can
be a place to find useful information. ________ Helping kids understand the news and how to
separate fact from fiction is an important job for parents and educators.

Here's some advice that parents can offer kids to help them be quicker to judge as they
consume news online.

________ In the rush to cover stories, reporters make mistakes, officials don't always have
correct information and tidbits (八卦新闻) that sound reasonable often get passed around before
anyone has checked them for accuracy.

Use social media wisely. Some say Twitter is a great source of news in the first few minutes of a
tragedy. ________ On the other hand, Facebook can be a great way to connect with friends
affected by events in the news and to spread personal news within a more limited circle.

Be skeptical. ________ After the Boston Marathon bombing, NBC Sports reported that some
runners kept running all the way to the hospital to donate blood for the victims. Not true. There
are plenty of websites devoted to exposing false news stories. The Washington Post also has a
Fact Checker column that delivers claims made by public officials and politicians. Visit them to
find out if a story is true.

Keep it age-appropriate. Kids aren't always ready to digest big, tragic news - especially if the
news is about kids, such as school shootings or abuses. The constant repetition of information
can be confusing for younger kids, and at the beginning of a news event, parents might not be
able to offer any correct answers. ________

A. Remember, breaking news is often wrong.

B. It also can be the source of misinformation.

C. If something sounds too good to be true, it probably is.

D. Make sure you and your kids aren't falling victim to false news.

E. However, after that it just becomes messy and largely inaccurate.

F. With social media at your fingertips, it's convenient to express your opinion.

G. Kids who are eager to learn more about certain events can check kid-guided news sources.
