贵阳市中考英语英语任务型阅读理解精选及答案

一、英语任务型阅读

1．根据短文内容，回答下列问题。

The population of the world continues to increase, but in some areas the population is falling. This is true in Europe and especially in Eastern Europe. In Russia, the population is going down by about 100 people EVERY HOUR! Russia's population could fall by ONE THIRD by the year 2050! And in Poland (波兰) the population is also going down because people are leaving to work in other countries.

One of the main reasons is a change of lifestyle. All over Europe people, especially educated women, have a different attitude(态度) to children than their parents. "I have one child and she is enough for me," said Galina Tereschkova, a doctor from Moscow. "My husband and I both work full—time. We can't imagine having more than one child." Many women decide to have children later in life or not to have children at all. "I don't want to have any children until I have worked for at least 10 years," said 19-year-old student Hana Markova from Prague. Her opinion is typical of 18~24 year old women everywhere in Europe.

In Poland, the population is going down for a different reason. A lot of people, usually aged between 20 and 30, are leaving the country to work abroad. Poland joined the European Union in 2005 and since then more than half a million people have moved to Britain, Germany, Spain and Italy. Even so, the population of those four countries and many other countries in West Europe is also going down.

Many governments are now encouraging people to have larger families. In France, women now receive nearly $1,000 a month for a year if they have a third child. Austrian women receive $700 a month for three years when they have their first child.

（1）Where in the world is the population getting smaller?

（2）How many children does Galina Tereschkova want to have?

（3）What does Hana Markova want to do before she has children?

（3）She wants to work for at least 10 years.

（4）Because a lot of people, usually aged between 20 and 30, are leaving Poland to work abroad./ The change of lifestyle.

Once upon a time, there was a king. He only had one leg and one eye, but he was very smart and kind. Everyone lived a happy and healthy life because of the king. One day, the king was walking through the palace hallway and saw the paintings of his ancestors(祖先).He thought that one day his children would also walk in the same hallway and remember all the ancestors through these paintings. He wanted his children to remember him, too. So he invited many famous artists to his palace.

All of the artists began to think about the king's physical disabilities(生理缺陷). How could his painting be made very beautiful? It was not possible. They weren't sure what his painting would be like. So one by one, they all started to politely refuse to make a painting of the king.

But suddenly one artist raised his hand and said he would make a very nice painting of the king. The king became happy hearing that. Then the artist started painting. After a long time, the painting was ready.

When the artist showed the painting, everyone was shocked. In the painting, the king was sitting on a horse, on the one—leg side, holding his bow (弓箭) and aiming (瞄准) something with his one eye closed. The king was very happy and gave him lots of money.

7．阅读下面短文，并用英语回答问题(请注意每小题后面的词数要求)。

Much meaning can be carried clearly with our eyes，so it is often said that eyes can speak. Do you have such kind of experience? On a bus you may look at a stranger, but not too long. And if he finds that he is being looked at, he may feel uncomfortable. It's the same in daily life. If you are looked at for more than necessary, you will look yourself up and down, to see if there is

something wrong with you. If nothing goes wrong, you will feel angry toward the person who is looking at you that way. Eyes do speak, right?

Looking too long at someone may seem to be impolite. But sometimes things are different. If a man looks at a woman for more than 10 seconds, it may mean that he wishes to attract her attention, and to make her understand that he loves her. When two people are in a conversation, the speaker will only look at the listener from time to time, in order to make sure that the listener does pay attention to what he or she is saying. Lovers will enjoy looking at each other or being looked at for a long time, to show something that words cannot express.

Clearly，eye contact(接触)should be done according to the relationship between two people and the place where you stay.

（1）What can your eyes carry clearly according to the passage？(不超过5个词)

（2）Why will the speaker look at the listener from time to time when they are in a conversation？(不超过20个词)

（3）What should you think about when making eye contact？(不超过15个词)

【答案】（1）Much meaning.

（2）To make sure that the listener does pay attention to what he or she is saying.

（3）The relationship between two people and the place where we stay.

【解析】【分析】文章大意：本文叙述了很多意思都能用我们的眼睛清楚地表达出来，所以常说眼睛会说话。眼神是可以交流的。

（1）细节理解题。根据第一段第一行句子Much meaning can be carried clearly with our eyes, so it is often said that eyes can speak. 我们的眼睛能清楚地表达许多意思，所以人们常说眼睛能说话。可知能表达很多意思，故答案为Much meaning。

（2）细节理解题。根据第二段第二行句子When two people are in a conversation，the speaker will only look at the listener from time to time, in order to make sure that the listener does pay attention to what he or she is saying. 当两个人在谈话时，说话者只会不时地看着听者，以确保听者确实注意到他或她在说什么，可知为了确保听者注意他或她所说的话，故答案为To make sure that the listener does pay attention to what he or she is saying.。

（3）细节理解题。根据最后一段句子Clearly, eye contact（接触）should be done according to the relationship between two people and the place where you stay. 很明显，眼神交流应该根据两个人之间的关系和你们所在的位置而定。可知由两个人之间的关系和你们所在的位置而定。故答案为The relationship between two people and the place where you stay.。
