专题七：第二次月考考试任务型阅读理解专练 Passage 1 There is a special “line” in China—the Qinling-Huaihe Line (秦淮线). It runs from the Qinling Mountains in the west to the Huai River in the east. It divides (划分) China into two parts: the northern part, known as northern China, and the southern part, known as southern China. There are great differences in weather between the two parts. Let’s have a look! In general, northern China has a cold and dry winter, while southern China is known for its cold, humid weather in winter. In northern China, the coldest month often comes in January. Temperatures in some provinces can drop to as low as -30℃, while the southernmost (最南端的) cities enjoy temperatures of around 20℃—even in January. Many northern Chinese like spending winter holidays in the southern cities, mostly around Sanya. During the winter months, the northern provinces experience cold weather for a long time. The ground freezes (冰冻). Some places are covered in snow. It’s like a fairy tale world from movies. People often build snowmen and have snowball fights (打雪仗) to enjoy the happiness of winter. But in southern China, temperature seldom falls below 0℃. Snow seldom falls, and the rivers do not freeze. Heating (供暖) is important for northern Chinese. People often wear hats, scarves, down jackets (羽绒服) and gloves outside. But when they return home, they only need a T-shirt. In southern China, however, people don’t enjoy heating. They often use air conditioners or electric heaters to keep themselves warm during winter. What a big difference! 1． divides China into two parts: the northern part and the southern part. 2．Many northern Chinese like in southern cities, mostly around Sanya. 3．People in the northern provinces often to enjoy the happiness of winter. 4．People in southern China often use air conditioners or electric heaters to during winter. 5．The weather between the northern part and the southern part is very . 【答案】1．The Qinling-Huaihe Line 2．spending winter holidays 3．build snowmen and have snowball fights 4．keep themselves warm 5．different 【导语】本文主要讲述了南北方冬天的差异。 1．根据“There is a special “line” in China—the Qinling-Huaihe Line (秦淮线). It divides China into two parts: the northern part, known as northern China, and the southern part, known as southern China.”可知，是秦岭淮河线将中国分成南方和北方两部分。故填The Qinling-Huaihe Line。 2．根据“Many northern Chinese like spending winter holidays in the southern cities, mostly around Sanya.”可知，很多北方人喜欢到南方的城市，主要是在三亚附近，度过冬季假期。故填spending winter holidays。 3．根据“People often build snowmen and have snowball fights (打雪仗) to enjoy the happiness of winter.”可知，北方人通过堆雪人和打雪仗享受冬季的快乐。故填build snowmen and have snowball fights。 4．根据“They often use air conditioners or electric heaters to keep themselves warm during winter.”可知，南方人冬季通常使用空调或电暖器来保暖。故填keep themselves warm。 5．根据“There are great differences in weather between the two parts.”及“What a big difference!”可知，南方和北方的天气非常不同。故填different。 Passage 2 “Jing Ye Si” is one of the most famous poems by Li Bai. Almost all the Chinese children know the poem. Now many students of an Australian school know it too. This is thanks to a Chinese teacher — Abao. Abao is from Guangxi. He got interested in music after he saw his brother play the guitar (吉他). He then learned to play the guitar. Music brought him a lot of fun. When he grew up, Abao became an English teacher in Guangxi. He connected his love for music with his job. He sang and played English songs with his guitar to teach his students English. His way of teaching worked well. In 2010, Abao went to Boston, to teach Chinese. He used his experience in China to help his American students learn Chinese poems. However, because some words sound (听起来好像) different when they are in a song, Abao had to listen to a great many songs to find the right ones for his class. It took too much time. So he started to turn Chinese poems into songs. Years later, Abao went to Australia to teach Chinese. Again, he used music to help his Australian students learn Chinese poems. Abao’s songs for Chinese poems are very popular. He will write more and try his best to make language learning easier and get his students to love Chinese culture (文化). 1．“Jing Ye Si” is one of by Li Bai. 2．Abao after he saw his brother play the guitar. 3．Abao with his guitar to teach his students English while in Guangxi. 4．When Abao went to Australia to teach Chinese, he used music to . 5．Abao will try his best to make and get his students to love Chinese culture. 【答案】1．the most famous poems 2．got interested in music 3．sang and played English songs 4．help his Australian students learn Chinese poems 5．language learning easier 【导语】本文讲述了来自广西的阿宝把对音乐的热爱与工作联系起来。他用吉他弹唱英语歌曲, 教学生英语。几年后，阿宝去了澳大利亚教中文。他再次用音乐帮助他的澳大利亚学生学习中国诗歌。 1．根据第一段““Jing Ye Si” is one of the most famous poems by Li Bai.”可知，《静夜思》是李白最著名的诗之一。故填the most famous poems。 2．根据第二段“He got interested in music after he saw his brother play the guitar (吉他).”可知，在看到哥哥弹吉他后，他对音乐产生了兴趣。故填got interested in music。 3．根据第三段“He sang and played English songs with his guitar to teach his students English.”可知，阿宝用吉他弹唱英语歌曲。故填sang and played English songs。 4．根据第三段“Again, he used music to help his Australian students learn Chinese poems.”可知，他再次用音乐帮助他的澳大利亚学生学习中国诗歌。故填help his Australian students learn Chinese poems。 5．根据第四段“He will write more and try his best to make language learning easier and get his students to love Chinese culture (文化).”可知，阿宝将尽最大努力使语言学习更容易。故填language learning easier。 Passage 3 A lot of people around the world enjoy jogging. Jogging means running slowly, but it is still faster than walking. In the mornings and evenings, you can see people jogging in parks or along city streets. Jogging is cheaper than many sports — to start, just get some comfortable sports clothes and good running shoes. I enjoy jogging with my friends Tommy and Anna. In the early mornings, we often go jogging in the countryside. It is more fun than jogging in the city and we feel good in the fresh air. The more you go jogging, the healthier you will feel. Just try it! 1．Jogging means . 2．Walking is than jogging. 3．To start jogging, you only need comfortable sports clothes and . 4．Jogging in the countryside is than jogging in the city. 5．The more you go jogging, you will be. 【答案】1.running slowly 2．slower 3．good running shoes 4．more fun 5．the healthier 【导语】本文介绍了慢跑的好处。 1．根据“Jogging means running slowly”可知，意味着慢跑，故填running slowly。 2．根据“Jogging means running slowly, but it is still faster than walking.”可知，慢跑比散步更快，也就是散步比慢跑更慢，故填slower。 3．根据“just get some comfortable sports clothes and good running shoes”可知，只需要一些舒服的运动服和好的跑步鞋，故填good running shoes。 4．根据“In the early mornings, we often go jogging in the countryside. It is more fun than jogging in the city”可知，去乡下慢跑比在城市里慢跑更有趣，故填more fun。 5．根据“The more you go jogging, the healthier you will feel”可知，你慢跑得越多，你就会越健康，故填the healthier。 Passage 4 How do you feel when you have to make a speech in front of class? How do you feel when you go to a birthday party? Do you get really shy? Shyness means feeling nervous or frightened when you’re around other people. Experts (专家) have found that more than 80 percent of middle school students feel afraid to be the center of attention. Some kids are born shy. Some become shy later because of their life experiences. It’s OK if it takes you a while to feel yourself again when you go to a new place or meet new people. In fact, everybody gets a little shy sometimes. It’s just a case of how much. Most people have red faces and talk in broken sentences when they get shy. But some become so shy that they won’t go to a restaurant because they are too nervous to order and pay the bill (账单). Some are afraid of meeting new people, so they seldom go outside. This kind of shyness can be bad for a person. If shyness doesn’t stop you from doing something you want to do,being shy isn’t a very big problem. Some experts say shy people are quieter and cleverer because they think more and talk less. Shy people are also good at working with others because they think more for other people. Some great people in history were shy, too. You see, being shy isn’t all bad. But remember not to let good chances pass by just because of it! If you have to sing a song at a birthday party or practice your spoken English in front of others, just do it! There’s nothing to be afraid of.

Luckily, in 2015 the local government organised (组织) the first group of teachers to give door-to-door teaching services to disabled children. More than 300 teachers in Longxi County have given free visiting services to over 170 children with special needs. Yang Huijun is Xiaozhou’s teacher. He said, “When I went to Xiaozhou’s home for the first time about six years ago and saw him lying helplessly (无助地) in bed, I felt terrible. Because of fear (恐惧), Xiaozhou didn’t accept me at first, but I didn’t give up.” He visited Xiaozhou five to six times a month. With his help, Xiaozhou learned the numbers from 1 to 100 in May 2016. In April 2017, Xiaozhou wrote his name for the first time. In June 2018, Xiaozhou could draw simple (简单的) pictures. In August 2019, Xiaozhou learned 26 English letters.
