Louis Braille was born in the nineteenth century. When he was three years old, an accident at his father’s workshop left him blind. As a young boy, Louis was hard-working and clever. His teachers suggested that he should go to the National Institute for Blind Youths. ①At that time, this was the only school for the blind in France.At the institute, Louis was eager to learn to read and write. To his great disappointment, the few books he found at the institute used raised (凸起的) letters. This method of reading was difficult for the blind, because they had to feel slowly each letter. ②到他们摸到句子末尾时，他们已经忘记开头是关于什么了。
Louis wanted to develop an easier reading system for the blind. His idea of such a system came from Charles Barbier, a French army officer. Barbier had invented a system called “Night Writing”, which was made up of dots and dashes. Soldiers used this system to communicate with one another during the night. Louis adapted (改编) this system for his own use. He produced a simpler system based on dots. For example, “A” is represented by a single dot. Many blind students found this system much easier to use.This came to be known as the “Braille” system. Today, millions of blind people are able to read, thanks to the work of a young blind man.任务一：将文中划线的句子①翻译成汉语。

2020年外研版英语中考题型训练——任务型阅读02 回答问题
任务型阅读(二)回答问题A[2020·原创]As a teenager, there are so many stresses in your life and so many things are changing. For example, your body is changing. When you observe yourself changing, you may not always be happy with what you see. Remember that everyone goes through these changes. Be proud of your body because it’s bringing you closer to being an adult.Another difficulty that a teenager faces is how to deal with social groups. You want to fit in but sometimes it’s difficult to break into certain groups. In this case, you can speak to members of the group individually (分别地) and if they accept you, great; if not, leave it alone. If you try too hard to get into a group, they’ll b e more likely to refuse you more, for fun. What’s more, it’s better to stay with those who like the way you are.Teenagers may also have stresses in school. Teachers are going to prepare you for the outside world, which means you’ll have more schoolwork. At this time, you’d better take a step back and relax. After all, they just want you to succeed. In the real world, no one will tell you what to do, so take your time and make good use of it. If you have any problems, you can share them with your teacher.Besides all the requirements at school, you may have more at home. If your parents have high expectations for you, you may feel stresses from different areas. But remember they just want the best for you. If your parents aren’t interested in how your study is or who your friends are, you can find another adult like a teacher to believe in. If you get support from people you trust, your hard times will be over.1.How many kinds of stresses are mentioned in the passage?2.Why should you be proud of your body?3.How to break into certain groups according to the passage?4.What stresses may teenagers have in school?5.Give a proper title to the passage.B[2019·吉林]Four good friends Mouse, Crow, Turtle and Deer lived in the forest. Every day they met at the lake and told each other interesting stories.One day Deer did not come to the lake to drink water. The other three were worried.“I saw a hunter(猎人) in the forest this morning,” said Crow. “I’m afraid Deer might be hurt.”“Fly over the forest, Crow,” said Mouse. “Please see if you can find our friend Deer.”It took him a few minutes before Crow saw Deer caught in a trap(陷阱) made of ropes. He flew back right away to ask the other two for help. When they arrived, Mouse and Crow began to break the ropes. Turtle kept talking to Deer to help her feel better.Just then, the hunter came to check his trap. “Everyone, leave now,” said Turtle.Deer at once ran away with Mouse. Turtle just lifted a foot up when the hunter got close.“My trap is empty,” said the hunter. “But, a turtle is better than nothing. I will eat turtle soup tonight.” The hunter picked Turtle up and started for home.“Now we all must help our friend Turtle,” said Deer.Deer lay down on the way. She seemed dead. Crow flew and landed on Deer’s head. The hunter saw Deer so he put the Turtle down to get Deer. As soon as the hunter left Turtle, Mouse ran up and helped Turtle hide in the forest. Deer jumped up and ran off.The hunter went back to get Turtle, but he found him gone. “How scary! There is magic here,” he said to himself in great fear. Then he rushed out of the forest and never came back again.There was magic in the forest that day. That magic was called friendship.1.Where did the four animals meet every day?2.How did the other three feel when they didn’t see Deer?3.Which animal did the hunter pick up after Deer ran away?4.Did the hunter get any of the animals in the end?5.What was the magic in the forest that day?C[2019·内江]The Seed Vault (种子地窖)A lot of countries need different kinds of seeds so that they can plant them again. There is an important reason for this. Sometimes plants can’t grow in a country because of bad weather or disease, so farmers need new seeds.You can keep seeds in a “seed vault”. It’s a place at a special temperature. The seeds don’t grow, but they can live for a long time. Norway has the biggest seed vault in the world—the Svalbard Global Seed Vault—and it has seeds from a lot of different countries.The vault is on the island of Spitsbergen. The island is about on e thousand kilometers from the North Pole. It’s a very cold place so it’s good for seeds. Above the ground, the doorway is small, but inside, the building is huge. You walk down a long corridor(走廊), which is one hundred and thirty meters inside a mountain. At the end of it, there are three large areas with seeds.There are about half a million kinds of seeds inside the vault. For example, there are kinds of seeds for rice from Asia and Africa, 32 kinds of seeds for potatoes from Ireland and seeds for different tomatoes from the USA.The seed vault has space for a lot more seeds. You can put about 2.2 billion(十亿)seeds inside. The seeds can live here for thousands of years because of the cold temperature of -18°C. So, in the future, humans can grow any seed they want. In other words, the seed vault is the difference between life and death.1.Why can’t plants grow in a country? (within 6 words)2.Where is the biggest seed vault in the world? (within 2 words)3.How far is the Svalbard Global Seed Vault from the North Pole? (within 4 words)4.How many seeds can be put in the seed vault? (within 3 words)5.What place is a seed vault? (within 12 words)D[2019·泰州]Obey the rules of British roadsBritish roads are some of the safest in the world. A study in 2018 compared more than 30 countries and found that 3.8 people per 100,000 died in traffic accidents in the UK. This number was lower than any other country. So, what did British drivers do to achieve this? What are they doing differently? Here are five top tips for drivers who are planning a trip to the UK.People in Britain drive on the left side of the road. In fact, a long time ago people drove on the left in most countries, but now only a few countries have this. Don’t forget that this also means you must drive the other way around roundabouts(环岛).British people feel that waiting should be fair for everybody. If you are in a queue of traffic, then don’t try to push past the cars in front of yours. This is called “jumping the queue”. You must wait for your turn; otherwise people may get angry with you.You must stop at the traffic lights when they are red.In many countries, it is OK to go past the red lights if you are turning a corner or if there isn’t any other traffic around. In the UK you could have a lot of trouble if you do this.If another driver flashes(闪烁) his car’s lights at you, he is probably trying to tell you that he will wait for you to go first. British people don’t like to use their car horn(喇叭)much and they think people who do so are rude.If you get in an accident, don’t try t o pay the police. The police in the UK never take money, and if you try to offer them some, you could end your holiday visiting British prison.回答下面5个问题,每题答案不超过六个词．．．．．．．．．．。

AWhen I was growing up in America, I was ashamed of my mother's Chinese English. Because of her English, she was often treated unfairly. People in department stores, at banks, and at restaurants did not take her seriously, pretended not to Understand her, or even acted as if they did not hear her.My mother has realized the disadvantages of her English as well. When I was fifteen, she used to have me call people on phone to pretend I was she. I was forced to ask for information or even to yell at people who had been rude to her.
