福建省长汀一中、连城一中等六校任务型阅读测试题 百度文库
一、高中英语任务型阅读1．任务型阅读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.Most parents know that they need life insurance. But many would rather have a root canal than shop for the best life insurance policy.“People don't think about, What will my family do if I am gone and not earning a living?'” says Peter Katt, a fee-only life insurance adviser.“ The who le point of this kind of planning is to provide the family with maximum flexibility so they're not stuck.”Planning for your death is not a cheerful topic. Too often, parents make a quick decision, ignoring important considerations. Among their mistakes one is that they do not buy enough life insurance. ________“They don't think that the person who is not bringing in an income needs life insurance,” says Greg Daugherty, executive editor of Consumers Union. But if that person dies, the other parent can't stop working and usually has to pay someone to help care for the family.________ Katt recommended that one young couple should buy $3 million for the husband who earns $100,000 a year and $1 million for the stay-at-home wife.At the same time, many families rely on employer-provided life insurance, but employer-provided coverage is rarely sufficient to support your family. Many employer-provided policies provide a death benefit of $10,000 to $25,000—barely enough to cover your funeral expense. Some employers provide a year's salary, but that may also fall well short of the amount your family would need to maintain its standard of living.Some employers let workers buy group life insurance through payroll deductions. They may be a good deal for workers who have health problems that would disqualify them for an individual policy. But if you're young and healthy, you may be able to get a better rate on your own.Another drawback is that if you leave your job, you may not be able to take your in surance.“ Given the job market, most of us are not absolutely certain that our jobs are secure,” Daugherty says.“________”On the other hand, some families buy too much insurance. Not everyone needs life insurance. Some people buy life insurance for babies, which is unnecessary, unless the baby is a child model who is supporting the family, Daugherty says: The purpose of insurance is to replace the income that a family has been relying on. Single people and those who have no children to care for usually don't need life insurance.Katt says a man with substantial savings in stocks and bonds and other sources of income recently asked him how much life insurance he needs.“ I said none,” Katt says. “________”A. There are people who don't need life insurance but have it and many more people who need it but are woefully uninsured.B. Families don't always insure a parent who is staying home to care for the children.C. Most people put off buying life insurance for any number of reasons if they even understand it.D. Even if you have a lot of insurance at work, it makes sense to have some more insurance onyour own.E. If you fall seriously ill of suffer significant injury later, it will make it tougher to get that kind of policy, if any at all.F. To make insurance more affordable, you may not need to buy the same amount of insurance for both parents.【答案】 B；F；D；A【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，大多数父母都知道他们需要生命保险，但不愿购买最优质的人寿保险。

Often, however, it is presented to us as being so abstract that it seems impossibly distant. For those of you looking for something a little more concrete, a new report suggests that the effects of climate change may significantly affect coffee.The report, put out by The Climate Institute, describes the effects of climate change on various coffee-growing nations and the resultant effects on the plants and those who grow them.Coffee Arabica plants, which produce 70% of all commercial coffee, can be adversely affected by even a half-degree change in typical weather conditions. This sensitivity to temperature puts the plant at increased risk of the effects ofclimate change.In Central America the average temperature has risen by a full degree Celsius since 1960. In Ethiopia the average temperature has increased by l. 3 degrees. This increase is enough to have notable effects on the plants. In Tanzania the productivity per hectare of coffee has fallen by half since the 1960s due to changes in temperature.Indeed, studies claim that by 2050 the area of the world suitable for growing coffee will be cut by half. Coffee production is likely to then be pushed to higher elevations(海拔) to take advantage of lower temperatures, but this will not be enough to make up for lost lowland areas.Coffee is the second most traded goods by developing nations, and the inability of producer nations to export it could cause dramatic chain reactions in their lions of people make a living in the production, processing, transport, and sale of coffee;their livelihoods would stand to take a blow as growing areas decrease and prices rise.As the temperature keeps rising, your cup of coffee will become much more expensive,and it may also carry an aftertaste bitterer than usual, for all those workers in the coffee belt left without the means to make a living as conditions worsen. Not only that, but the economic effects will cost the West millions in increased foreign aid.1、What does the underlined word "adversely " in Paragraph 3 most probably mean?A．slightly. B．temporarily. C．harmfully. D．gradually.2、Why will people have to grow coffee in highland areas?A．To adapt to the change of temperature.B．To increase the quality of the products.C．To reduce the cost of coffee productionD．To get access to water supply more easily.3、What conclusion can we draw from the last two paragraphs?A．The rich will get richer and the poor poorerB．Small changes may have large effects in generalC．Developed countries ought to aid poor countries.D．Coffee trade will eventually disappear in the world.4、How does the author feel about the future of coffee production?A．Cautious. B．Worried. C．Unconcerned. D．Hopeful.23．（8分）Want an ideal home in magical Lucas Valley?

It is being trialed in Poland and is set to go on sale in UK within a few years.The bin, designed by start-up company Bin.E, recognizes different type of waste via a system positioned inside the bin which uses sensors, image recognition and artificial intelligence. Once waste is placed inside, the camera and sensor identify its type and place it in one of the smaller bins. Then it compresses the waste so it occupies less space.It is thought that the bin could be stocked by department stores such as John Lewis, which said it is introducing more new hi-tech recycling bins. Matt Thomas, a buyer at John Lewis, gave us the reason, “We’ve recently seen a jump in specialist bins sales, with a 25 percent increase in the last few months alone. We have noticed our customers are becoming more and more focused on sustainability. In response to this demand, we are really excited to introduce a smart bin this autumn/winter season-designed to make recycling more efficient and functional for the everyday home."Bin.E's official release on the market will take place in 2018. However, at first only a larger version designed for offices will be available.The office bin will sell at £ 430 while customers will need to pay a £ 107 subscription fee for an accompanying smartphone app, which hooks them up with collection services. A spokesman at Bin.E said that home version of the bin will be cheaper and will not include a monthly payment.They added: “After the o ffice version, we plan to create an outdoor version and later the home version. We decided to go for the outdoor version for public areas first because it is more difficult to organize an efficient waste segregating system than in our homes.”1、What do we know about about a new “smart bin” from the first paragraph?A．It works automatically.B．It has been used widely.C．It is easy to operate.D．It is very expensive.2、What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2 refer to?A．The waste.B．The camera.C．The bin.D．The sensor.3、Why is John Lewis introducing more new hi-tech recycling bins?A．To change people’s behaviour,B．To satisfy increasing demands.C．To popularize new technology.D．To make them more famous.4、Where will the first version of new “smart bin” be used according to Bin.

I searched so long and so eagerly that I lost all feeling in the legs. Ignoring the pain, I went on with my search, because finding the picture was worth it.My beloved grandma on my dad’s side, who passed away almost four years ago, would decorate the Chri stmas trees like it was her job. Each year she would decorate an ornate, 12-foot-tall, shining tree in her living room, and most years she would have an additional pink tree, palm tree, colored- light tree, white-light tree, bedroom tree, etc. The ideas varied year after year, but the theme was always the same: Let There Be Light.For the outside of the house, my grandma hired people to come and string thousands of lights through the trees in her yard. It wasn’t easy, and it wasn’t cheap, but it was a labor of love. People in the small town came and parked their kid-packed cars on the street, gazing at the thousands upon thousands of shining lights year after year. They brought us magic, which was grandma’s legacy. That is the family act I am supposed to follow for the rest of my life. It’s what I’m dying to recreate and pass on to my own kids. I feel so much pressure because no one is capable of doing it—and of doing it correctly—but me.So, it’s me and only me, each year unfastening countless strings of lig hts, winding them round a 10-foot, prickly tree, and sending the lights to the highest branches. Though I’m only ever just scratching the surface of grandma’s magic, I uncover a little more each year. I still haven’t found that picture of my grandma’s Chri stmas lights, but I know it exists, and I will find it, even if it means losing all feeling in my legs.1、Why did the author suffer from pain?A．Because she was missing her beloved grandma.B．Because she had trouble finding grandma’s lights.C．Because she kept an uncomfortable gesture for long.D．Because she broke her legs while searching for something.2、What does Paragraph 2 mainly talk about?A．Grandma’s Christmas trees. B．The atmosphere of Christmas.C．The beauty of Christmas trees. D．Christmas memories in childhood.3、Which of the following best describes grandma’s yard on Christmas?A．Colourful and messy. B．Interesting and dizzy.C．Noisy and crowded. D．Shiny and attractive.4、What’s the authors attitude towards her grandma’s way to spend Ch ristmas?A．It is the best way people like. B．It is her duty to pass it on.C．It needs to be improved. D．It is too costly to do it.第三部分语言知识运用（共两节）第一节（每小题1.5分，满分30分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项．26．（30分）完型填空,阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后从1-20各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。
