）段落一：①For almost two months Dominic York, a 23-year-old hairdresser, wandered about hospitals all night, wearing a white coat and pretending he was a doctor. ②Yesterda y he proudly claimed in court that despite his complete lack of medical experience or qualifications, he had saved several people’s lives. ③He had even been allowed to assist a surgeon during an emergency operation on a patient who was about to die on something she had swallowed.◆ 本段交代了几件事情？答：本段交代了两件事情。
首句介绍了一个叫Dominic York的青年几乎两个月以来在医院周边走动。
后两句话讲述这名青年干过的“伟业”。
◆ 句②和句③是什么关系？答：句③是对句②的递进说明。
该青年不但救了好几人的命，还能被准许在挽救一濒死女子（she）的手术中帮个忙。
◆ 句②交代了什么重要内容？答：该句的in court表明该人上了法庭。
句②和句③的内容都是Dominic York在法庭上的陈述。
段落二：①“I watched one of those TV dramas about a hospital and suddenly I felt like playing one of the roles myself. ②So I put on a white jacket and a stethoscope(听诊器)and walked around one of the biggest hospital in London. ③At first I just watched.④Once you learn how doctors talk to patients, nurses and others doctors, it’s easy to take people in,” he said.◆ 本段交代了几件事情？答：本段交代了两件事情。
针对上段第一句讲述Dominic York的青年几乎两个月以来在医院周边走动，本段句①句②说明了他这么做的原因。
句③和句④讲述这名青年到医院后的举动以及如此举动的原因。
◆ 句③和句④是什么关系？答：句④是对句③的解释说明。
青年Dominic York为什么在一开始仅仅在那儿观察（just watch）？因为他知道，一旦（once）学会了医生是如何讲话的，那么自己就能顺利地冒充，而不被人识破。
段落三：①One of the patients he treated was Laura Kennan. ②She had been knocked down by a car and fainted. ③When she came to in hospital, York was standing over her.◆ 本段交代了几件事情？答：本段交代了三件事情。
第一件事情是介绍一名被Dominic York治疗过的叫作Laura Kennan病人；再就是介绍这个病人因何事被送往医院；最后交代该人一进医院，Dominic York 就站在她旁边。
◆ 句②交代了什么重要内容？答：该句介绍了Laura Kennan因何被送往医院：是因为被汽车撞倒后不省人事。
段落四：①“He looked very professional. ②He told me his name was Doctor Simon. ③Then he gave me some sort of injection,” she said. ④And then he suddenly cleared off when a nurse asked who he was. ⑤She didn’t think there was anything wrong. ⑥“I would never have realized he was a fake if a policewoman hadn’t showed me his photograph a week later. ⑦When the policewoman told me who he really was, I could hardly believe my ears.”◆ 本段交代了几件事情？答：本段是女病人Laura Kennan对当时情景的讲述。
可以推断，Laura Kennan是在法庭（in court）的证人席上讲此番话的。
◆ 句①句②和句③交代了什么重要内容？答：该句交代了Laura Kennan见到假医生Dominic York后的第一印象。
他虽然是个冒牌医生，但是看上去很是专业（very professional），还起了个假称呼（Doctor Simon）。
这个假医生还给Laura Kennan注射了什么。
◆ 句④和句⑤以及句⑥是什么关系？答：句⑤是对句④的交代说明。
句④讲Dominic York被护士询问后突然（suddenly）消失（clear off），按说这一情况很是令人生疑，可也许是因为他装得太专业了（looked very professional），以至于Laura Kennan不认为这有什么不对劲（didn’t think there was anything wrong）。
◆ 句⑥和句⑤是什么关系？答：句⑥是对句⑤的进一步说明。
不但她（Laura Kennan）当时没看出异常，就是事后也觉察不出异常。
要不是警察提醒，她将永远被瞒在鼓里。
句⑥的语气是对过去事情的一种虚拟假设：“要不是警察在一周后向他出示该假医生的照片，她将永远不能意识到（would never have realized）该人是冒牌医生。
”而事实上呢，警察既出示了照片，她也意识到了该人是冒牌大夫。
◆ 句⑦交代了什么重要内容？答：句⑦侧面强化了句①。
他装得太象了（looked very professional），以至于当Laura Kennan被告之真相后，竟然几乎不敢（could hardly）相信自己的耳朵（believe my ears）。
段落五：①Judge Raymond Adams told York that he was “shocked and horrified” that he got away with his deceiving for so long. ②And then sentenced him to eighteen months in a special prison for criminal with mental disorders.◆ 本段交代了几件事情？答：由于文章首段句②里的in court交代了假医生Dominic York在法庭上做着陈述，因此本段笔锋一转，讲起了法庭里的另一主角：法官。
本段描述法官的审判感受以及断案结果。
◆ 句①句②交代了什么重要内容？答：句①交代了法官的审判感受，假医生屡屡得手后的逃离令他（he）又惊又怕（shocked and horrified）。
是呀，这假大夫治病，那后果可难说啊。
句②交代了法官的审判结果，他把这假大夫Dominic York关到一个为精神异常的犯人准备的特殊监狱里，刑期18个月。
段落六：①“I can only hope that this will not lead to further problems. ②After all, you will have considerable opportunity to study the behaviour of the psychiatrists(精神科医生)who will look after you while you are there. ③If you try to persuade peoplethat you yourself are a psychiatrist after you are set free, I shall make sure that you are given a much longer sentence.” Judge Adams warned York.◆ 本段交代了什么事情？答：本段交代了法官在审判后对被告人Dominic York的警告（warning）。
◆ 句①和句②是什么关系？答：句②是对句①的解释说明。
为什么法官讲自己仅能希望（can only hope）这将不会导致更多麻烦（further problems）？是因为Dominic York被关进了一个常接触医生的监狱，在那里其有足够的机会去观察学习（have considerable opportunity to study）精神科医生的举止，万一他出狱后改成冒充精神科医生，干起了精神病治精神病的事儿，岂不更遭？◆ 句③交代了什么重要内容？答：为了防止出现句①所述的更多麻烦，法官只能威胁被告：“要是你敢在释放后（after you are set free）冒充精神科医生，我定将加重判决”。

每个空格只填1个单词。
Most people have some regret that they just can't seem to get rid of. But holding on to regret about the past that can't be changed can have a bad impact on the possibility of a happy future. Regret is a waste of time, emotion and energy. To make sure that your life is a successful one, you need to take action to live in a way that you have no regret holding you back.Some people make very big decisions with very little consideration at all, and as a result they often regret their decisions. Before choosing a college major, getting married or accepting a job, you must think about all conditions carefully and make a conscious decision rather than a careless one. Big decisions aren't the only ones that require forethought, though. Before you become angry and say something you will regret later, think about what you're going to say.Some of things will be easy to do and some will be hard, but keep your eyes on the prize of living a successful life without regret, and you'll find that achieving your goals might be easier than you think. But don't just daydream about those goals—make an actual list, written down in black and white, and refer to it now and then to see what you have left to do.When you're feeling happy and full of energy, taking care of yourself isn't a problem. But in those days when you feel like crawling beneath the bed and never coming out again, you still must take care of yourself. You can do what you want and don't get angry with yourself about your shortcomings. On the contrary, you just admit them and try to change them and move on. Improving your mental health is just as important as taking care of yourself physically.Keep those who are important to you very close and be sure to let them know how important they are to you. Family, friends, co-workers and people who are as close as your families are your lifelines that you can depend on whenever you need them to help you remember what's important in life. You should make sure of repairing your relationships with your friends if something bad happens.Last but not least, learn to give yourself some relaxation and not to waste your time regretting things you cannot change. Treat those things properly and move on. Life is hard, but it is precious. Don't waste time regretting the past, or your future will get here before you know it.consideration；list；practice；health；unchangeable【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，很多人都有一些永远无法清除的遗憾，总是纠缠无法改变的遗憾可能会对我们的未来产生不好的影响。

一、高中英语任务型阅读1．Complete the following passage by using the sentences given below. Each sentence be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.Today, in most of the theatres in Britain, the stages are situated behind a sort of arch (拱门), called the proscenium (幕布前的舞台部分)arch. The arch runs across the building with the stage on one side of it and the auditorium, housing the audience, on the other. The audience is kept to the area from which it can get a clear view of the stage. This type of theatre has been is use for three hundred years. ________ The actor can ignore them until the end, when they applaud the performance. If an actor wants to speak to the audience he tends to step out of the picture, as it were—down to the edge of the stage.________ Stage furniture or properties—"props", as they are referred to in the business – are now as few as possible. Elaborate scenery is used only when it is going to last throughout the play, or when it is so constructed that it can be changed quickly. Modern theatres are built with the stage extending far in front of the proscenium arch, if indeed they have a proscenium arch at all, electricity, already long in use, has recently had a revolutionary effect. A change of lighting is as good as a change of scenery, and simpler and quicker; it can light one part of the stage in place of another. Footlights have been found unnecessary. Curtains also are hardly necessary, since the stage can be darkened to signify the end of a scene.The modern idea of having the stage in front of the proscenium arch is not really modern, of course. It makes our stages much like Shakespeare's. ________ The famous speeches of Hamlet, for instance, can be delivered more quietly and naturally than they were in the las century. The actors no longer have to worry much about not being heard, or about turning their backs to the auditorium. They can get closer to the audience, while a larger audience can see them at work.Moreover, nowadays, people are finding that modern theatres are built to sit in comfortably for two or three hours at a stretch. ________ The result of these improvements is that, in spite of the high price of seats, perhaps more people than ever before are keen on theatre-going.A. Over the last few decades, since the Second World War, theatrical customs have altered.B. It makes people feel, as they watch a play or a show, that they are seeing a living and moving picture.C. All these innovations have quickened up the pace of the drama.D. This is an advantage both for actors and audience.E. Today the theatres are much more comfortable because of the many improvements.F. Often they can meet and eat in the restaurants attached to the theatres.【答案】 B；D；A；E【解析】【分析】本文介绍了英国戏剧的发展以及剧院的布局特点。

高考英语专题复习任务型阅读(附答案)50一、高中英语任务型阅读1．任务型阅读How to not be a slave to technologySchwartz, CEO of The Energy Project, shared four of his most important tools for applying technology more productively, and building a work life that supports—rather than wastes—your energy.Build daily rituals (习惯).________ Build highly specific behaviors that you do at precise times over and over again until it becomes as automatic as brushing your teeth at night. The best way to prioritize (优先考虑) what's important to us and make sure we actually do the things we care about is to create highly specific habits.Take a “first things first” approach to your mornings.________ Ninety-five percent of people have more energy early in the morning than they do as the day wears on, and they also have fewer distractions(干扰). So if that's the case, why wouldn't you do the most important thing when you have the most energy?Use technologies selectively. If you expose yourself to different forms of technology continuously, they will pull you in the way a drug would, even when you know it is not serving you well. Keep technological temptations (诱惑) away when you find yourself getting too distracted—or as Schwartz puts it: “________”________ Many of us live our lives in a gray zone—were not fully focused on work when were working, and during our leisure time, we're not fully relaxed. This leaves us feeling distracted. Schwartzs advice? ________ Applying less than your full focus doesn't just make you less productive; distraction keeps you from being fulfilled by and connected to your work. Distraction is the enemy to meaning.A. Be intentional with your energy.B. Do the most important thing first every day.C. Taking breaks throughout the workday is a nice thought.D. If you're trying to lose weight, don't have cup--cakes in the fridge.E. We've crossed the line of being able to effectively manage all of the information coming at us.F. When you're working, you're really working; and when you're relaxing, you're really relaxing.G.

高考英语任务型阅读训练经典题目(及答案)一、高中英语任务型阅读1．根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
选项中有两项为多余选项。
They Just Can't Help ItMy theory is that the female brain is mainly built for empathy —the ability to understand other people —and that the male brain is mainly built for building systems. ________ For example, women are more likely to read magazines on fashion and parenting, while men will choose magazines that feature computers and sport.You may think that these preferences are influenced by the way people are taught to behave when they are growing up. However, this is not the case. A new study carried out at Cambridge University shows that newborn girls look longer at a face, and newborn boys look longer at a mobile. ________ It has also been observed that girls are better at noticing signs of changes in other people's feelings. Boys, however, seem to enjoy building toy towers and playing with toys which have clear functions. ________ People whose jobs are in the construction industries are almost male. Math and engineering, which require high levels of systems-thinking, are also male-chosen disciplines. Why do men and women have the difference? Actually women have four times as many brain neurons (神经) that connect the right and left part of their brains. Because of it, women have a better ability to multitask than men. ________ Men tend to focus on a limited number of problems at a time. They will separate themselves from problems and view tasks as independent from one another.Some people may worry that I am suggesting one gender (性别) is better than the other, but this is not the case. My theory says that males and females differ in the kinds of things that they find easy, but that both genders have their strengths and weaknesses. ________ It is not true. The study simply looks at males and females as two groups, and asks what differences exist, and why they are there.A. Generally speaking, there are clear differences.B. Their preference for building systems may change over time.C. You can see the same kind of pattern in the adult workplace.D. They will consider many sources of information at the same time.E. It is important to stress that the female brain may be built more for empathy.F. That suggests certain differences between male and female brains are biological.G. Others may think the theory creates a belief of what a particular type of person is like.【答案】 A；F；C；D；G【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，阐述男性与女性差异各有优缺点。

任务型阅读专练4篇Passage 1(2018江苏)How Arts Promote Our EconomyWhen most people think of the arts, they imagine the end product, the beautiful painting, a wonderful piece of music, or an award-winning performance in the theater. But arts groups bring broader value to our communities. The economic impact of the arts is often overlooked and badly judged.The arts create jobs that help develop the economy. Any given performance takes a tour bus full of artists, technical experts, managers, musicians, or writers to create an appealing piece of art. These people earn a living wage for their professional knowledge and skills.Another group of folks is needed to help market the event.“If you build it they will come”is a misleading belief. Painters, digital media experts, photographers, booking agents and promoters are hired to sell tickets and promote the event. According to the Dallas Area Cultural Advocacy Coalition, arts agencies employ more than 10,000 people as full-or part-time employees or independent contractors.A successful arts neighborhood creates a ripple effect(连锁反应) throughout a community.In 2005, when the Bishop Arts Theatre was donated to our town, the location was considered a poor area of town. After investing more than $1 million in reconstructing the building, we began producing a full season of theater performances, jazz concerts, and year-round arts education programs in 2008. Nearly 40 percent of jazz lovers live outside of the Dallas city limits and drive or fly in to enjoy an evening in the Bishop Arts District.No doubt the theater has contributed to the area’s development and economic growth. Today, there are galleries, studios, restaurants and newly built work spaces where neighbors share experiences, where there is renewed life and energy. In this way, arts and culture also serve as a public good.TeCo Theatrical Productions Inc. made use of Bloomberg’s investment of $35,000 to get nearly $400,000 in public and private sector support during the two-year period. Further, Dallas arts and arts-based businesses produce$298 for every dollar the city spends on arts programming and facilities. In Philadelphia, a metro area smaller than Dallas, the arts have an economic impactof almost $3 billion and support 44,000 jobs, 80 percent of which actually lie outside the arts industry, including accountants, marketers, construction workers, hotel managers, printers, and other kinds of art workers.The arts are efficient economic drivers and when they are supported, the entiresmall-business community benefits.It is wrong to assume arts groups cannot make a profit. But in order to stay in business, arts groups must produce returns. If you are a student studying the arts, chances are you have beenill-advised to have a plan B. But those who truly understand the economic impact and can work to change the patterns can create a wide range of career possibilities.Arts as an economicdriverOur communities(1)▲from arts in terms of economy.(2)▲of arts’ promoting our economy Arts activity demands a(n) (3)▲effort.

高考英语任务型阅读试题(及答案)100(1)一、高中英语任务型阅读1．任务型阅读Age has its privileges in America, and one of the most important of them is the senior citizen discount. Eligibility(资格) is determined not by one's need but by the date on one's birth certificate. The discounts have become a routine part of many businesses—as common as color televisions in motel rooms and free coffee on airliners.People with gray hair often are given the discounts without even asking for them; yet, millions of Americans above age 60 are healthy and solvent (有支付能力的). Businesses that would never dare offer discounts to college students or anyone under 30 freely offer them to older Americans. The practice is acceptable because of the widespread belief that ＂elderly＂ means ＂needy＂. Perhaps that once was true, but today elderly Americans as a group have a lower poverty rate than the rest of the population. To be sure, there is economic diversity within the elderly, and many older Americans are poor. But most of them aren't.It is impossible to determine the impact of the discounts on individual companies. For many firms, they are a stimulus to revenue. But in other cases, the discounts are given at the expense, directly or indirectly, of younger Americans. Moreover, they are a direct irritant(刺激物) in what some politicians and scholars see as a coming conflict between the generations.Generational tensions are being fueled by continuing debate over Social Security benefits, which mostly involve a transfer of resources from the young to the old. Employment is another sore point. Supported by laws and court decisions, more and more older Americans are declining the retirement dinner in favor of staying on the job—thereby lessening employment and promotion opportunities for younger workers.Far from a kind of charity they once were, senior citizen discounts have become a privilege to a group with millions of members who don't need them.It no longer makes sense to treat the elderly as a single group whose economic needs deserve priority over those of others. Senior citizen discounts only enhance the myth that older people can't take care of themselves and need special treatment; and they threaten the creation of a new myth, that the elderly are ungrateful and taking for themselves at the expense of children and other age groups. Senior citizen discounts are the essence of the very thing older Americans are fighting against—discrimination by age.economically；attend/tend；interest(s)/benefit(s)；discriminate【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，探讨了美国社会老年人享受商品折扣这一特殊待遇的现象。
阅读理解和任务型阅读
2010年高考英语阅读理解和任务型阅读课堂综合练习十一、阅读理解：阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。
AA punctual person is in the habit of doing a thing at the proper time and is never late in keeping an appointment.The unpunctual man, on one hand, never does what he has to do at the proper time. He is always in a hurry and in the end loses both time and his good name. A lost thing may be found again, but lost time can never be regained. Time is more valuable than material things. In fact, time is life itself. The unpunctual man is for ever wasting and mismanaging his most valuable asset (财产) as well as other’s. The unpunctual person is always complaining that he finds no time to answer letters, or return calls or keep appointments promptly. But the man who really has a great deal to do is very careful of his time and seldom complains of want of it. He knows that he can not get through his huge amount of work unless he faithfully keeps every piece of work when it has to be attended to.Failure to be punctual in keeping one’s appointments is the sign of disrespect towards others. If a person is invited to dinner and arrives later than the appointed time, he keeps all the other guests waiting for him. Usually this will be regarded as a great disrespect to the host and all other guests present.Unpunctuality, moreover, is very harmful when it comes to do one’s duty, whether public or private. Imagine how it would be if those who are put in charge of important tasks failed to be at their proper place at the appointed time. A man who is known to be habitually unpunctual is never trusted by his friends or fellow men.1. What does the author think is the main difference between a punctual person and an unpunctual person?A. A punctual person does everything ahead of time while an unpunctual person doeseverything behind schedule.B. A punctual person does everything at the right time while an unpunctual personseldom does anything at the correct time.C. A punctual person has a lot of appointments while an unpunctual person has fewappointments.D. A punctual person has much time to do everything while an unpunctual person haslittle time to do anything.2. According to the passage, the main reason that a person is always unpunctual is that _______.A. he has more work to do than other peopleB. he is always in a hurry when he worksC. he doesn’t care much about timeD. he always mismanages and wastes his time3. According to the third paragraph, when you are invited to dinner, you should arrive there _______.A. after other guests have arrivedB. before all other guestsC. at the appointed timeD. after the host has got things ready4. Which of the following statements best describes the harm of unpunctuality?A. If you are an unpunctual person, you cannot be in charge of any important task.B. If your friends know that you are unpunctual, they may not see you again.C. Unpunctuality may bring about heavy losses for both public and private affairs.D. Unpunctuality may make you miss a lot of appointments and lose friends.BFive years ago, David Smith wore an expensive suit to work every da y. “I was a clothes addict,” he jokes. “I used to carry a fresh suit to work with me so I could change if my clothes got wrinkled.” Today David wears casual clothes-khaki pants and sports shirt-to the office. He hardly ever wears a necktie. “I’m working ha rder than ever,” David says, “and I need to feel comfortable.”More and more companies are allowing their office workers to wear casual clothes to work in the United States. The change from formal to casual office wear has been gradual. In the early 1990s, many companies allowed their employees to wear casual clothes on Friday(but only on Friday). This became known as “dress-down Friday” of “casual Friday”. “What started out as an extra one-day-a-week benefit for employees has really become an everyday thi ng.” said business consultant Maisly Jones.Why have so many companies started allowing their employees to wear casual clothes? One reason is that it’s easier for a company to attract new employees if it has a casual dress code. “A lot of young people don’t want to dress up for work,” says the owner of a software company, “so it’s hard to hire people if you have a conservative dress code.” Another reason is that people seem happier and more productive when they are wearing comfortable clothes. In a study conducted by Levi Strauss and Company, 85 percent of employers said that they believe that casual dress improves employee morale. Only 4 percent of employers said that casual dress has a negative impact on productivity. Supporters of casual office wear also argue that a casual dress code helps them save money. “Suits are expensive, if you have to wear one every day,” one person said. “For the same amount of money, you can buy a lot more casual clothes.”5. David Smith refers to himself as having been “a clothes addict,” because _______.A. he often wore khaki pants and a sports shirtB. he couldn’t stand a clean appearanceC. he wanted his clothes to look neat all the timeD. he didn’t want to spend much money on clothes6. David Smith wears casual clothes now, because _______.A. they make him feel at ease when workingB. he cannot afford to buy expensive clothesC. he looks handsome in casual clothesD. he no longer works for any company7. According to this passage, which of the following statements is false?A. Many employees don’t like a conservative dress code.B. Comfortable clothes make employees more productive.C. A casual clothes code is welcomed by young employees.D. All the employers in the U. S. are for casual office wear.8. According to this passage, which of the following statements is true?A. Company workers started to dress down about twenty years ago.B. Dress-down has become an everyday phenomenon since the early 1990s.C. “Dress-down Friday” was fir st given as a favor from employers.D. Many workers want to wear casual clothes to impress people.9. In this passage, the following advantages of casual office wear are mentioned inthe passage except _______.A. saving employees’ moneyB. making employees more attractiveC. improving employees’ motivationD. making employees happierCSince we are social beings, the quality of our lives depends in large measure on our interpersonal relationships. One strength of the human conditions is our possibility to give and receive support from one another under stressful(有压力的) conditions. Social support makes up of the exchange of resources among people based on their interpersonal ties. Those of us with strong support systems appear better able to deal with major life changes and daily problems. People with strong social ties live longer and have better health than those without such ties. Studies over types of illnesses, from depression to heart disease, show that the presence of social support helps people defend themselves against illness, and the absence of such support makes poor health more likely.Social support cushions stress in a number of ways. First, friends, relatives and co-workers may let us know that they value us. Our self-respect is strengthened when we feel accepted by others in spite of our faults and difficulties. Second, other people often provide us with informational support. They help us to define and understand our problems and find solutions to them.

But Hanger also has to take the two boys to soccer or hockey or basketball while dropping off her daughter at piano lessons or Girl Scout Club.Often, the exhausted family doesn't get home until 7 pm. There is just time for a quick supper before homework. In today's world, middle-class American and British parents treat their children as if they are competitors racing for some finishing line.Parents take their children from activity to activity in order to make their future bright. It seems that raising a genius has become a more important goal than raising a happy and well-balanced child.“Doctors across the country are reporting a growing number of children suffering from stomachaches and headaches due to exhaustion and stress,” says child expert William Doherty of the University of Minnesota.Teachers are dealing with exhausted kids in the classroom. It's a very serious problem. Many children attend after-school clubs by necessity. But competitive pressures also create an explosion of activities. They include sports, language, music and math classes for children as young as four.“There is a new parenting trend(趋势) under way which says that you have to tap all your child’s potential(潜能) at a young age; otherwise you will let him down,” says Terry Apter, a Cambridge-based child and adolescent psychiatrist(青少年精神病专家).“It isn't entirely new: there have always been pushy parents.

高考英语任务型阅读习题及答案doc
一、高中英语任务型阅读1．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.College graduation eventually means taking much of your attention in your first job search. This process can be challenging, especially for those students who had thought very carefully about their chosen major and their potential career path—or those who majored in a field not directly connected to a specific career he eventually got. If you are in one of these groups, fear not! ________Some majors are tied directly to specific career fields. For example, if you wish to become a teacher, you will likely have needed to complete an education program and eventually sit for a licensing exam. The same applies to majors in nursing. If you did not complete an acceptable nursing program, you won't be able to take the nursing licensing exam. ________Other majors, however, are closely related to career paths but don't necessarily require a degree in the area. For example, students who majored in finance, math, or statistics may also have the necessary skills to be hired as an accountant.Hopefully, as a college student, you were able to do more than just attend classes and read your course books. Your non-academic experiences can be very influential on your future career as well. Did you work during college, volunteer, or participate in a club or organization?________ If you volunteered with a non-profit organization such as a homeless or domestic violence shelter, seek out positions in social services related to case management or victim advocacy. You may qualify for a position regardless of your major.Although it often seems like your college major alone determines your career fate, this just isn't the case. ________ If you don't know what career options to consider based on your major, talk to your faculty or academic advisor. You may be surprised at what opportunities await!A. If so, and if you enjoyed these activities, seek out related careers.B. In these cases, successfully completing a specific major is crucial to landing a job in the matching field.C. Graduating from a university with an excellent major and practical ability will surely make you more competitive.D. It may influence it, but there are other factors that influence your career options as well.E. The more you learn about workforce market, the better you'll know the importance of a desired major.F. Although your major and coursework are relevant to landing a job, they are not the only deciding factors.【答案】 F；B；A；D【解析】【分析】本文是一篇以论文，大学生毕业后找工作很具有挑战性。
高考英语-语法填空+阅读理解+任务型阅读-专题练习(二十三)有答案
高考英语专题练习（二十三）语法填空＋阅读理解＋任务型阅读Ⅱ．阅读理解（2014·黑龙江鹤岗一中模拟）People tend to have one of three beliefs about the meaning of work and which category you fall into largely depends on your parents, according to the new research from the University of Michigan.Workers who are job-oriented are those just trying to make a living who much prefer the activities they pursue outside of the office. Career-oriented adults — your typical “workaholic” — value the social status and reputation that comes with professional achievement, and gain much of their identity from their jobs. Calling-oriented people do work that they are passionate about because they want to have a positive impact on the world.In the first empirical study into how these orientations originate, researchers found that how teenagers view their parents' work ethic is central to the development of their own work attitudes.It's not a straightforward transfer of values. People who perceive their father to have a strong career-orientation are more likely to be career-oriented themselves, but career-determined mothers have no effect on their kids' work orientation. The researchers attributed this to generational gender norms. When the study's participants were teenagers, mostly in the 1980s, men were more commonly employed outside of the home and were more likely than women to hold “career” jobs with opportunity for advancement.Mothers do have a notable effect on whether children have a job-orientation mentality. Teenagers who are close to their mothers are less likely to view work as just a job when they grow up, probably because they've been raised to value social, rather than instrumental, life experiences.Having both parents display the same work ethic has an amplified influence, but only in the case of calling-oriented children. As our society favors money and professional achievement, a child with two calling-oriented parents is more likely to have the confidence to ignore these social pressures and pursue his dreams.Children can affect their parents' work ethic, too. Allowing people to bring their children into the office has been shown to improve efficiency and productivity—and could help raise that next generation of career-oriented workers. 1．If you are proud of being a teacher, and you are enthusiastic about your job, you belong to ________.A．the job-oriented groupB．the career-oriented groupC．the workaholic groupD．the calling-oriented group2．Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A．Children valuing their parents' career-orientation will be career-oriented.B．Fathers have a greater influence than mothers on teenagers' attitude towards jobs.C．Calling-oriented mothers have little effect on their children's work orientation.D．Children's attitudes towards jobs aren't related to parents'.3．What does the underlined word “amplified” in Paragraph 6mean?A．Enough.B．Increased.C．Decreased.D．Strong.4．What is the attitude of the child with two calling-oriented parents towards the social pressure?A．He takes no notice of it.B．He thinks too highly of it.C．He looks on it as a difficulty.D．He considers it confusing.Ⅲ．任务型阅读（2014·银川质检） 1 It makes people suffer a lot from it. Why can't they find a cure for the common cold? The answer is easy. There are actually hundreds of kinds of cold viruses out there. You never know which one you will get. 2When a virus attacks your body, your body works hard to get rid of it. 3 You feel terrible because you can't breathe well, but your body is actually eating the virus. Your temperature goes up and you get a fever, but the heat of your body is killing the virus. You also have a runny nose to stop the virus from getting into your cells. You may feel very uncomfortable, but actually your wonderful body is doing everything it can to kill the cold.4 In China and some other countries, for example, some people might eat chicken soup to make themselves feel better. Some people take hot baths and drink warm liquids. Other people take medicine to stop various symptoms of colds.There is one interesting thing to note—some scientists say taking medicine when you have a cold is actually bad for you. The virus stays in your body longer because your body doesn't have a way to fight it and kill it. 5 There is a joke, however, on taking medicine when you have a cold. It goes like this: it takes about one week to get over a cold if you don't take medicine, but it takes only seven days to get over a cold if you take medicine. So you should trust the function of your body.A．Therefore, there isn't a cure for each one.B．Bodies can indeed do an amazing job on their own.C．How much do you know about the various viruses in the world?D．Blood rushes to your nose and causes a block in it.E．Different people do different things to deal with colds.F．The first thing you need to come up with is an idea for your cold.G．It is easy for many people to catch a cold in spring or fall.语法填空＋阅读理解＋任务型阅读答案Ⅰ．A1．for2．to buy3．was waiting4．how5．amazement 6．her7．when/as8．the9．best10．whichB1．if/whether2．to3．collecting/to collect4．Out5．Interested 6．they7．have been collecting8．roughly / appropriately 9．which10．countriesⅡ．1~4．DBBAⅢ．1～5．GADEB语法填空＋阅读理解＋任务型阅读解析Ⅰ．A1．解析:for考查介词.由语境可知,此处应用for表示目的.我在购买我做志愿者工作所需的物品.2．解析:to buy考查非谓语动词.此处为不定式作目的状语.3．解析:was waiting考查时态.由语境可知,此处描述的是当时正在发生的事,所以用过去进行时.4．解析:how考查宾语从句的引导词.由语境判断应用how.此处表示“挨着我的那位女士接近我,想知道我将如何吃掉我买的这一大盒豆腐”.5．解析:amazement考查词性转换.此处是“to one's＋名词”结构,故空格处应用amaze的名词形式,to my amazement“使我大为惊奇的是”.6．解析:her考查代词.由设空特点看,此处需要限定词,再结合语境“she responded that she felt good. . . ”可推知应用her.7．解析:when/as考查从属连词.此处表示“当她的父母作为难民来到这个国家时”.8．解析:the考查冠词.由语境可知,此处特指当前这个付款的机会,因此用定冠词.9．解析:best考查形容词的最高级.由后面表示范围的定语从句“I had ever received for my voluntary work”可知此处应用最高级形式.10．解析:which考查定语从句的关系词.此处which指代“my voluntary work”,并在定语从句中作主语.B1．解析:if/whether考查宾语从句的引导词.此处表示我想知道你是否可以告诉我一些关于你集邮的事情,故应填if/whether“是否”.2．解析:to考查动词不定式的省略.此处完整的句子应是“I'd be pleased to tell you something about my stamp-collecting. ”,动词不定式所表示的内容与上面相同,动词不定式省略到to.3．解析:collecting/to collect考查非谓语动词.start后接动词时要用动名词或者不定式.4．解析:out考查副词.work out表“计算,统计”之意,为固定短语,符合语境.5．解析:interested考查词性转换.be interested in表“对……感兴趣”之意,为固定搭配,符合语境.6．解析:they考查代词.此处指代“my first packet of stamps”,因此用they来代替.7．解析:have been collecting考查时态.依据时间状语可知,Gibbon这些年一直都在集邮,因此用现在完成进行时,表示动作的持续性.8．解析:roughly/appropriately考查语境.此处表示邮票的大约数目,因此用roughly/appropriately.9．解析:which考查定语从句的关系词.这里是引导非限制性定语从句,关系词代指the Penny Black,且在从句中作主语,因此用which.10．解析:countries考查名词单复数.此处country是可数名词,被these修饰,要用复数形式.Ⅰ．1．解析:选D推理判断题.从第二段最后一句“Calling-oriented people do work that they are passionate aboutbecause they want to have a positive impact on the world. ”特别是“passionate”一词可知答案.2．解析:选B推理判断题.从第四段中的“People who perceive their father to have a strong career-orientation are more likely to be career-oriented themselves, but. . . work orientation. ”可知答案.3．解析:选B词义猜测题.从画线词后面的“a child with two calling-oriented parents is more likely to. . . ”可知,amplified意为“增加的”.4．解析:选A细节理解题.从第六段中的“a child with two calling-oriented parents is more likely to have the confidence to ignore these social pressures and pursue his dreams. ”可知答案.。
