专题11 任务型阅读 （一） （25-26八上·山东滨州经济技术开发·期中）阅读下面短文，并根据短文内容回答问题。 My School Life and Future Plans I’m Tom, a Grade Eight student from No.1 Middle School. Our school has three grades and over 1,000 students. Among all the subjects, I like English best because our English teacher, Ms. Wang, is the friendliest teacher in our school. She always makes her classes interesting. I usually study English for two hours every day—sometimes I read English stories, and sometimes I practice speaking with my classmates. My best friend is Jack. He is taller than me, but I run faster than him. We often play basketball after school. Jack plays basketball better than most students in our class, so he wants to be a basketball player in the future. As for me, I am going to be a doctor. I think doctors can help lots of people. To make my dream come true, I plan to study harder next year. I’m going to read more medical books and get good grades in all subjects. Our school will have a sports meeting next month. Jack and I are going to take part in the 400-meter race. We practice running every afternoon. I hope we can win prizes. I believe that the more we practice, the better we will do. 1.

But when he grew up, he was better off than his childhood friends and lived a happier and healthier life. It took 40 years to study the lives of 456 children in London. The study, led by Daniel Brown, a psychologist (心理学家) in the UK, aimed to find out the connection between childhood labor work (劳动) and later life success. The study followed these children’s lives closely from a very young age. The researchers interviewed them about their lives at the ages of 25, 31, and 47. And they compared two things: how much labor work the children did during their childhood and how successful their later lives were. The study showed that children who did more childhood labor work had a better future. They were more likely to get good pay, overcome difficulties bravely and have good relationships with different people. That’s because childhood labor work can not only help children develop abilities, independence, and a sense of responsibility but also help them understand that people must work together towards common goals. It’s never too late to start doing labor work today. Get ready and take on every task, no matter how small it is. Always remember, your labor work will bring you closer to a better and happier future. 1. Why did other kids feel sorry for Justin Tong when he was a child? 2. How long did the study last (持续)? 3.

Different families have different ways of handling chores and pocket money. Some parents believe paying children for doing chores teaches important lessons, while others think chores should be done without rewards because they believe helping around the house is just what kids should do as part of the family. Let’s see how these different ideas work in real life. One common way is to pay kids for each chore, like $1 for washing the dishes. Parents who use this method say it teaches kids the value of working for money, but some notice that children may only help when paid. Another way is (A) ________ (give) pocket money weekly or monthly if children finish all chores. This makes chores feel less like work. But kids might still do chores just for money, not because they want to. Some parents don’t pay kids for chores (B) ________ they believe it might make kids focus more on rewards (奖励) than on their sense of duty. To them, chores are something kids need to do as part of the family. But these parents might still give kids pocket money—just not for chores. They want kids to learn how to handle (处理) money wisely without connecting money to housework. However, if they do this, children might not see the connection between work and money. The middle ground is paying only for bigger, more challenging chores, like washing the car, but not for small daily chores, like making the bed. This way, children can not only learn that helping the family is important, but also realize that extra (额外的) work can bring extra rewards. In a word, no single chore-money rule is perfect. If one way doesn’t work, try another until you find what works. Task 1 根据文章内容，完成图表中的所缺信息（每空不超过3个词） 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Task 2 在 (A) (B) 处填上恰当的词： 6. (A) 7. (B) Task 3 8.

But kids might still do chores just for money, not because they want to.”可知，完成所有家务再付酬的弊端是钱仍然是孩子做家务的主要动力，故填motivation。 (3)题解析： 根据“They want kids to learn how to handle (处理) money wisely”可知，不付报酬的家庭给零花钱是为了教孩子明智地用钱，故填wise。 (4)题解析： 根据“This way, children can not only learn that helping the family is important”可知，仅为大型家务付酬能让孩子明白帮助家人是他们应该做的事，故填helping the family。 (5)题解析： 根据“If one way doesn’t work, try another until you find what works.”可知，没有完美的方法，要不断尝试，故填trying。 (6)题解析： 根据“Another way is…(give) pocket money weekly or monthly if children finish all chores.”可知，此处应用动词不定式或动名词作表语，故填to give/giving。 (7)题解析： 根据“Some parents don’t pay kids for chores…they believe it might make kids focus more on rewards (奖励) than on their sense of duty.”可知，有些父母不给孩子做家务的钱，因为他们认为这样会让孩子更注重奖励，而不是责任感。前后句是因果关系，后句是前句的原因，故填because。 (8)题解析： 根据“The middle ground is paying only for bigger, more challenging chores, like washing the car, but not for small daily chores, like making the bed.”可知，小型日常家务不付酬。选项中A“刷墙”、C“修洗衣机”、D“洗车”均属于大型或有挑战性的家务，B“倒垃圾”是小型日常家务，故选B。 (9)题解析： 本句为复合句，包含if引导的条件状语从句。“however”意为“然而”，条件状语从句中，主语“they”意为“他们”，谓语“do”意为“做”，宾语“this”意为“这”；主句主语“children”意为“孩子们”，情态动词“might”表“可能”，“not see”意为“无法看到”，宾语“the connection between work and money”意为“工作与金钱之间的联系”，故填：然而，如果他们这样做，孩子们可能看不到工作和金钱之间的联系。 （四） （25-26八上·山东青岛第二十六中学·期中） Still remember the “fish astronauts” that went on a “business trip” to space? They laid eggs in space! In a space study on zebrafish (斑马鱼), Chinese scientists have set a new record. They successfully got four zebrafish to live and grow in a closed water world. The zebrafish went to the China Space Station on the Shenzhou-18 spaceship on April 25, 2024. Since then, they have been living in a closed fish tank with some plants. The fish grew up and laid eggs in 43 days. In their special closed environment, the plants provided air for the fish and the fish’s waste provided food for the plants. The scientists gave the fish food through a special needle (注射针). Such a closed-loop ecosystem (闭环生态系统) is important for future studies in space. It means that plants and animals can live in space (A) ________ (easy) and more simply. The scientists also found that the zebrafish acted differently from how they did on Earth. For example, they often swam on their backs. The low gravity (重力) in space is a big reason. On Earth, gravity pulls everything toward Earth’s center, and animals can find their way easily. Gravity also makes their bodies work harder and become stronger. (B) ________ (human) and zebrafish share (C) over 80 percent of the same genes (基因). So the ________ will help scientists better understand human health. Task1 阅读短文内容，用恰当词填空 (每空一词) 1. The zebrafish traveled to space on the spaceship. 2.

Unlike traditional travel, it aims to avoid famous tourist spots and large crowds to get a better experience. Many young people enjoy gathering several good friends and hanging out in the streets when they visit a new city. They can follow a typical city route (路线), exploring old buildings, going window-shopping, drinking a cup of coffee, or enjoying local snacks. In order to show their Citywalk, more and more people prefer to share their experiences and thoughts through social media (媒体).

In the past, there were some ideas that plants had feelings and could act like people. But now, new studies show that plants are unusual in their own ways. Protecting (保护) themselves One way is how plants protect themselves. For example, when worms eat them, tomato plants can make their leaves taste bad with a special juice. This can even make the worms eat each other! Corn (玉米) plants can check what worms leave behind and then use that information to call a bee to hunt the worms. Plant communication Plants can also talk to each other. They mainly use special air. There are small openings on plants that look like little fish mouths under a microscope. These openings let out air with information. When a plant has problems, like being eaten or hurt by wind, it sends a “call”. Other plants close to it can get this “call” and get ready to stay safe. Plant memory Do plants have memory? One example is the “memory of winter”. Many fruit trees need to “remember” the number of cold days in winter to blossom in spring. They remember the cold and warm days to stop flowering too early during a warm time in winter. Now, when we look at plants in a park, we can think of them as little “strangers” (陌生人) with their own “stories” going on all around. We don’t know if they feel pain (疼痛), but they sense touch or respond to being eaten, even though they don’t feel pain like we do. 1. What can tomato plants do when worms eat them? 2. What do plants mainly use to talk to each other? 3. Why do plants remember the cold and warm days in winter? 4. What’s the main idea of the passage? 5. How do you usually look after the amazing plants around us? 【答案】1. Tomato plants can make their leaves taste bad with a special juice. 2. Plants mainly use special air to talk to each other. 3. To stop flowering too early during a warm time in winter. 4. The passage mainly talks about the amazing abilities of plants, including protecting themselves, communicating with each other, and having memory. 5. We should water them regularly, give them enough sunlight, and protect them from strong wind and cold weather. 【解析】【导语】 本文主要描述了植物在不同方面的奇妙特性，比如自我保护、沟通和记忆，说明植物的多样性和独特性。 (1)题解析： 根据“when worms eat them, tomato plants can make their leaves taste bad with a special juice.”可知，番茄植物在被虫咬时会释放特殊汁液使叶子变苦，甚至让虫子互相残杀。故填Tomato plants can make their leaves taste bad with a special juice. (2)题解析： 根据“They mainly use special air. There are small openings on plants that look like little fish mouths under a microscope.”可知，植物通过小孔释放带有信息的特殊空气进行交流，故填Plants mainly use special air to talk to each other. (3)题解析： 根据“Many fruit trees need to ‘remember’ the number of cold days in winter to blossom in spring.

The team of researchers have studied in the top universities in China and have no oversea (海外的) educational background, and most of whom are under 34 years old. They are also very good at math, physics and coding (编程). The company works on AI, especially big models (模型).

On its first day online, over 19,000 programmers around the world started projects to study it. Even Meta (a famous U. S. tech company) top scientist said, “This kind of free AI could change the world.” As a DeepSeek engineer said, “We want AI to be a friend, not something only rich people can use.” With R1, China tells the world that great things come from new ideas and hard work, not just money. 1.

Surprisingly, these words not only help others, but they also help me. Helping others helps to build my own strength (力量). When I see someone who is sad or in trouble, I tell them, “Don’t give up,” “Be strong,” or “Things will get better.” These are the words I need to hear when I feel unhappy. By cheering others up, I feel stronger myself. Helping others also makes me forget my worries. When I listen to others and try to understand their feelings, I start to see my own problems differently. It helps me believe that I am not alone, and I can solve my difficulties, too. Sometimes I wonder why it is easier to give advice than to follow it myself? Maybe it’s because we are often too strict with ourselves. We believe in others, but we don’t always believe in ourselves. What I’ve learned is when we help others, we are also helping ourselves. We build connections (联系) and find strength together. So I will keep sharing the words I wish to hear—words that can heal (治愈) and encourage both others and me. A. 根据短文内容简要回答问题。 1. How does the writer feel when he cheers others up? 2. What two good things does the writer get from helping others? B. 将短文中画线的句子译成汉语。 3. 4. C. 请给短文拟一个适当的英文标题。 5. 【答案】1. He feels stronger himself. 2.

But when he grew up, he was better off than his childhood friends and lived a happier and healthier life. It took 40 years to study the lives of 456 children in London. The study, led by Daniel Brown, a psychologist (心理学家) in the UK, aimed to find out the connection between childhood labor work (劳动) and later life success. The study followed these children’s lives closely from a very young age. The researchers interviewed them about their lives at the ages of 25, 31, and 47. And they compared two things: how much labor work the children did during their childhood and how successful their later lives were. The study showed that children who did more childhood labor work had a better future. They were more likely to get good pay, overcome difficulties bravely and have good relationships with different people. That’s because childhood labor work can not only help children develop abilities, independence, and a sense of responsibility but also help them understand that people must work together towards common goals. It’s never too late to start doing labor work today. Get ready and take on every task, no matter how small it is. Always remember, your labor work will bring you closer to a better and happier future. 1. Why did other kids feel sorry for Justin Tong when he was a child? 2. How long did the study last (持续)? 3. Who led the study? 4. What did the study show? 5.

My cycling journey was very safe in China. I never felt in danger at any moment. Wherever I went, there was always phone signal (信号), and even WeChat pay. The beauty of nature was also fantastic. I was amazed when I cycled on the way. With thick forests, blue lakes and green hills, there was so much to see. The food was another highlight of my journey. I tasted local food in every place I went. My favourite was the spicy food in Sichuan. What’s more, cycling in China cost less than I thought. I could even save some money to support a local charity. I like friendly Chinese people so much. One time some Tibetan girls invited me to attend a wedding (婚礼). The wedding was full of dancing, laughter and fun. Another time I met a group of Chinese men who were also travelling, but by motorcycle (摩托车). They invited me to stay with them in the mountains. We cooked delicious fish together by the river. I once met a group of cyclists over the age of 60, and they cycled better than me. It really encouraged me to push myself and go farther every day. As this journey neared its end, I didn’t want to say goodbye. It is truly an experience I will never forget. 1. How does the writer travel in China? A. B. C. D. 2.

On that day, the teacher asked everyone to make three gifts for three best friends. Fiona was happy to pick three classmates to give gifts to. However, after all gifts were given out, she was the only one who didn’t get any gift! She felt really sad and cried for a long time. After this activity, she realized that she was a good classmate, but not a true friend to anyone. Although she tried to be close to everyone, that wasn’t enough to have real friendships. That night, Fiona told her mother about everything. Her mother said, “My dear, you cannot buy friends just with a few gifts. If you want true friends, you must give them time and real care.” After hearing this, Fiona decided to change herself to become such a true friend.

However, doubts and fears often hold us back. How can we face them and succeed? The runner Su Bingtian gives an excellent answer to this question. The young man began his sporting life in 2006. At that time no one from Asia ever ran the 100 m race in less than 10 seconds. Su trained hard and quickly became one of the fastest runners in Asia. In 2011, he ran the race in 10.16 seconds. However, Su wasn’t satisfied. To run in under 10 seconds in 2014, he changed his starting leg. This was a very risky decision. In 2015, he clocked 9.99 seconds and made history. In 2021, he finished in 9.83 seconds at the Tokyo Olympics. He also became the first Chinese athlete to run in the Olympic 100 m final.

Some parents believe paying children for doing chores teaches important lessons, while others think chores should be done without rewards because they believe helping around the house is just what kids should do as part of the family. Let’s see how these different ideas work in real life. One common way is to pay kids for each chore, like $1 for washing the dishes. Parents who use this method say it teaches kids the value of working for money, but some notice that children may only help when paid. Another way is (A) ________ (give) pocket money weekly or monthly if children finish all chores. This makes chores feel less like work. But kids might still do chores just for money, not because they want to. Some parents don’t pay kids for chores (B) ________ they believe it might make kids focus more on rewards (奖励) than on their sense of duty. To them, chores are something kids need to do as part of the family. But these parents might still give kids pocket money—just not for chores. They want kids to learn how to handle (处理) money wisely without connecting money to housework. However, if they do this, children might not see the connection between work and money. The middle ground is paying only for bigger, more challenging chores, like washing the car, but not for small daily chores, like making the bed. This way, children can not only learn that helping the family is important, but also realize that extra (额外的) work can bring extra rewards. In a word, no single chore-money rule is perfect. If one way doesn’t work, try another until you find what works. Task 1 根据文章内容，完成图表中的所缺信息（每空不超过3个词） 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Task 2 在 (A) (B) 处填上恰当的词： 6. (A) 7. (B) Task 3 8.

In a space study on zebrafish (斑马鱼), Chinese scientists have set a new record. They successfully got four zebrafish to live and grow in a closed water world. The zebrafish went to the China Space Station on the Shenzhou-18 spaceship on April 25, 2024. Since then, they have been living in a closed fish tank with some plants. The fish grew up and laid eggs in 43 days. In their special closed environment, the plants provided air for the fish and the fish’s waste provided food for the plants. The scientists gave the fish food through a special needle (注射针). Such a closed-loop ecosystem (闭环生态系统) is important for future studies in space. It means that plants and animals can live in space (A) ________ (easy) and more simply. The scientists also found that the zebrafish acted differently from how they did on Earth. For example, they often swam on their backs. The low gravity (重力) in space is a big reason. On Earth, gravity pulls everything toward Earth’s center, and animals can find their way easily. Gravity also makes their bodies work harder and become stronger. (B) ________ (human) and zebrafish share (C) over 80 percent of the same genes (基因). So the ________ will help scientists better understand human health. Task1 阅读短文内容，用恰当词填空 (每空一词) 1. The zebrafish traveled to space on the spaceship. 2.

Unlike traditional travel, it aims to avoid famous tourist spots and large crowds to get a better experience. Many young people enjoy gathering several good friends and hanging out in the streets when they visit a new city. They can follow a typical city route (路线), exploring old buildings, going window-shopping, drinking a cup of coffee, or enjoying local snacks. In order to show their Citywalk, more and more people prefer to share their experiences and thoughts through social media (媒体). Xiao Yiyi, a young guide in Changsha, recently shared six Citywalk routes of different cities on the Internet, providing experiences for visitors to “walk in open-air museums”. Her Changsha travel route includes more unusual sights such as historical buildings, old streets, and even some snack bars. Citywalk is spreading from the largest cities to smaller ones, encouraging more travelers and event organizers to join. Some places, such as Beijing and Shandong, have included Citywalk in their plans to develop cultural tourism and relaxing tours. Shanghai has set up Citywalk bus routes to help day-trippers reach more faraway areas first, and then continue on foot. Citywalk not only offers a way for young people to explore a city but also provides them with a new social situation, where they can share their interests and ideas and make friends easily. What’s more, Citywalk provides an opportunity for tour guides and travel companies to offer a more professional service to meet the ever-changing market requirements. 1. How is Citywalk different from traditional travel? 2. What things can young people do during a Citywalk? (Please list at least 2 things) 3. Why did Xiao Yiyi share some Citywalk routes online? 4.

They dreamed of a Christmas party but could not afford it. An old fairy visited them. She looked like their neighbor, but she was a real fairy. She asked for their help to find the Blue Bird, which could bring true happiness to her sick granddaughter. She gave Tyltyl a magic hat with a diamond.

Their first stop was the Land of Memory, where they met their dead grandparents. To their surprise, they found a blue bird there, but it turned black when they left. Then, they went to the Palace of Night. Night tried to stop them, but they opened many doors. Behind one door, they found many beautiful blue birds in a garden!

In the past, there were some ideas that plants had feelings and could act like people. But now, new studies show that plants are unusual in their own ways. Protecting (保护) themselves One way is how plants protect themselves. For example, when worms eat them, tomato plants can make their leaves taste bad with a special juice. This can even make the worms eat each other! Corn (玉米) plants can check what worms leave behind and then use that information to call a bee to hunt the worms. Plant communication Plants can also talk to each other. They mainly use special air. There are small openings on plants that look like little fish mouths under a microscope. These openings let out air with information. When a plant has problems, like being eaten or hurt by wind, it sends a “call”. Other plants close to it can get this “call” and get ready to stay safe. Plant memory Do plants have memory? One example is the “memory of winter”. Many fruit trees need to “remember” the number of cold days in winter to blossom in spring. They remember the cold and warm days to stop flowering too early during a warm time in winter. Now, when we look at plants in a park, we can think of them as little “strangers” (陌生人) with their own “stories” going on all around. We don’t know if they feel pain (疼痛), but they sense touch or respond to being eaten, even though they don’t feel pain like we do. 1. What can tomato plants do when worms eat them? 2. What do plants mainly use to talk to each other? 3. Why do plants remember the cold and warm days in winter? 4. What’s the main idea of the passage? 5. How do you usually look after the amazing plants around us? （十一） （25-26八上·山东枣庄·期中）阅读下面短文，按照要求回答短文后的问题。注意用完整的句子作答。 China’s flower culture has lasted thousands of years. The word “hua” in Chinese meant “flower” at first. With rich kinds of flowers, China is called “Mother of the World’s Gardens” by British plant expert Wilson. Flowers are not only beautiful, but also useful. Chinese people have cooked with flowers for a long time. Records show Shang Dynasty cooks used flowers in meals. Poet Qu Yuan ate chrysanthemums (菊花) during the Warring States Period. In the Song Dynasty, people enjoyed plum flowers (梅花) with rice porridge. Today, many places keep this tradition. The Dai people cook banana flowers, while Shaanxi locals love fried locust flowers (刺槐花). Eating flowers isn’t just about taste-it connects people with nature’s seasons. Flowers also carried deep feelings. Ancient Chinese grew flowers in gardens and pots to lift their moods. During the Tang Dynasty, the flower markets were lively. Poets wrote about flowers to express emotions. Tao Yuanming dreamed of a “Peach Blossom Spring”, and Zhou Dunyi praised the lotus. Flowers even got poetic names-peony meant “Jiang Li” (soon to part), lotus meant “pure friend”. People also used flowers wisely in the past. They marked months by flower seasons, made medicines from flowers, and used them in beautiful products. From food to art, flowers colour every part of Chinese culture beautifully. 1. Why is China called “Mother of the World’s Gardens”? (不超过10词) 2. When did Chinese people begin to cook with flowers? (不超过10词) 3. What’s the meaning of eating flowers besides taste? (不超过10词) 4.

Surprisingly, these words not only help others, but they also help me. Helping others helps to build my own strength (力量). When I see someone who is sad or in trouble, I tell them, “Don’t give up,” “Be strong,” or “Things will get better.” These are the words I need to hear when I feel unhappy. By cheering others up, I feel stronger myself. Helping others also makes me forget my worries. When I listen to others and try to understand their feelings, I start to see my own problems differently. It helps me believe that I am not alone, and I can solve my difficulties, too. Sometimes I wonder why it is easier to give advice than to follow it myself? Maybe it’s because we are often too strict with ourselves. We believe in others, but we don’t always believe in ourselves. What I’ve learned is when we help others, we are also helping ourselves. We build connections (联系) and find strength together. So I will keep sharing the words I wish to hear—words that can heal (治愈) and encourage both others and me. A. 根据短文内容简要回答问题。 1. How does the writer feel when he cheers others up? 2.
