中考专项——任务型阅读十篇附答案
Passage 1
Anna comes from Uganda, an African country. From a very early age, Anna had a close relationship with animals. And in primary school, she started a wildlife club. Later, she set up the Conservation Through Public Health (CTPH) in 2003 on the basis of her love for animals.
“Actually, they were my first friends.” said the 51-year-old Anna. To protect these animals, Anna became a member of wildlife club in her early 20s. She knew that the protection of wildlife heavily depended on its nearby communities and people. So she came up with a new way to work for wildlife—paying more attention to improving lives in the faraway villages that had wildlife animals nearby.
“That allows humans to enjoy a better protection of wildlife. When you have shown people that you care about them, you have to help them better live with wildlife.” said Anna. For example, because of the COVID-19, the tourism industry in her town met with a big problem. To make money, some people took the risk of hunting wildlife animals. When Anna discovered this, her club provided fast-growing crops(农作物) for families in the area and asked them to continue protecting wildlife.
With her hard work, more and more communities have taken part in the protection of wildlife. She always believes that through her efforts, there will be more people like her protecting animals. She also believes that animals as our best friends can live in harmony(和谐) with human beings.

Passage 2
Can anyone be an astronaut Of course not. Most astronauts have a science degree and most of them are pilots too. Life in a spaceship is hard so you must have a healthy body and mind. You need to be easy-going, patient, and helpful to spend so much time in a small space with others.
What’s the training like
A The astronauts have to train for a year. They have to learn space walking and living in zero gravity(重力). They train in difficult conditions to learn how to solve problems successfully. B There is no running water so you have to wash with wet tissues(纸巾). C It’s hard to enjoy the dry food. And to sleep well, you must cover your eyes because the sun rises every 90 minutes. You also have to tie yourself to something so you won’t fly away! D
What health problems do astronauts have
Life in zero gravity causes changes to our bodies. Bones and muscles(骨骼和肌肉) become thin and weak so you must do a lot of exercise in space. Astronauts often get backaches because you grow in space up to 8 centimeters! It’s also common to have headaches and to feel sick especially at the beginning. You must have vitamins instead of fresh fruits and vegetables. But you don’t have to put on sun cream(防晒霜) because space suits protect your skin.
Are you still interested
So now you know. If you want to live _________, study hard, learn to fly and take care of your body and mind.

Passage 3
There are two main kinds of writing systems(系统). One is the alphabet; the other is picture or symbol. The first alphabet started in the Middle East 3,000 years ago. 5,000 years ago, people in the Middle East began to use pictures to show the meaning of words. Chinese uses the system. To read Chinese, you need to learn a number of symbols.
Sometimes languages can change the writing system. Today many people use symbols to show how they write in text messages or emails. These symbols are called emotions(表情), because they show our emotions.
A calligrapher(书法家) suggests practicing Chinese characters(汉字) on apps. With the development of the society, he is connecting modern technology with the ancient writing art.
Students prefer to spend much more time on e-products than writing on paper, and even less time on calligraphy. So the calligrapher started to think about how young people could be interested in calligraphy through technology. Six years later, he and his team developed a system called “epen”. Anyone with it can learn Chinese characters.
When practicing Chinese calligraphy, traditionally, people had to carefully spend time getting prepared for the ink, brush and paper. With this convenient digital tool, people who were not willing to learn will be able to take the first step into the world of calligraphy.
The calligrapher decided to be an educator for Chinese calligraphy very early. When he was a child, he had very poor handwriting, and his teacher encouraged him and that made him become good at calligraphy. To keep the tradition alive, he hopes more young people will learn about calligraphy with the help of new technology, and maybe even fall in love with it.

Passage 4
“Shake it in hand and a cool wind comes to you,” this is one description of the cooling power of the wonderful Chinese fans. Widely used for thousands of years, Chinese fans not only are a perfect connection between use and beauty, but also show Chinese people’s high respect(尊敬) for their wonderful history and culture. With the development of history, there are many forms of fans.
Early Fans
The earliest Chinese fans, Zhang fans, which were very big, appeared over 3,000 years ago, around the Shang Dynasty. The main use of them is to shut out the strong sun and protect people from the rain.
Feather Fans(羽毛扇)
They appeared in Zhou Dynasty, but feather fans didn’t become popular until the Three Kingdoms period. As is known to all, Zhuge Liang who was a smart and great man of Shu Han, was always holding a white feather fan. The feather fan is also a symbol of the wisdom. And it appears in paintings nowadays.
Cattail-leaf Fans (香蒲扇)
During the Han Dynasty, the cattail-leaf fans were invented. The cattail-leaf grows in the south and is a good material because it’s not as expensive as feather fans. Even though it isn’t beautiful, the cattail-leaf fans are popular among common people soon.
Round Fans
A In the Song Dynasty, fans in the shape of the moon, called “round fan”, became the favorite of young ladies. B Beautiful pictures were also embroidered(刺绣) in the fine silk. Its popularity even helped the development of painting itself. C From the Song Dynasty on, fan painting became an independent art form. D

How much do you know about weiqi Weiqi, known as “Go” in English and called yi in ancient times, has a history of over 4,000 years in China. It is the start of all ancient chess games. Weiqi was invented by Chinese, but no one knows the exact time. According to a story, the leader Yao invented weiqi to help teach his son Dan Zhu. The game is played by two people with a set of black and white pieces, and the purpose is to own more areas than the other person on the board.

Passage 7
In recent years, our government has taken a step towards providing a better education for China’s students. Public schools require students to learn some basic life skills in addition to getting knowledge from books.
In the purpose of letting students take part in labor, a new educational program on labor skills began at all primary and middle schools across the country in September, 2022. Different groups of labor activities are included. Schools can prepare the lessons based on the students’ own interests. Students who have pets can join raising pets activities. There are also other activities, such as cleaning, fixing machines and growing vegetables.
The lessons are designed according to the students’ age. Take the “Cooking and Nutrition(营养)” class as an example. Primary school students will learn basic skills, such as how to peel vegetables and cut them up. Once they enter middle school, they will be taught how to properly prepare different dishes. The program is a great change in China’s educational system. The old system has been doubted at times for having paid little attention to the development of children’s basic life skills. Many parents are excited to see these changes on their children’s education.
A primary school in Chengdu was among the first ones to offer such courses to students. “These classes are really good,” said Chen Xiaomei, whose child studies at that school. “My child has learned how to help me with housework since this term. I think putting skills into practice is necessary for every child.”

Passage 8
Imagine having everything you need—hospitals, stores, parks—just a few steps from home. This is the idea behind the 15-minute city. Here, people can get all the services they need within 15 minutes from home. This social model is being developed in cities around the world, from Paris to Moscow. It could make people healthier and build a stronger relationship with neighbors.
Carlos Moreno is a strong supporter of 15-minute cities. Carlos Moreno supports 15-minute cities because it can reduce environment pollution. In a 15-minute city, car travel is not the best choice. People should build more foot roads and bike roads. Walking or biking across the city is of great use in cutting down CO2 emissions(排放).
Anne Hidalgo plans to develop 15-minute communities throughout France. That means the number of parking spaces will be reduced to 60,000 by 2024 and more bike ways will be created on every one of the city’s streets.
This type of design does more than good to the planet. Joe Zehnder is the planner for the city of Moscow. He is developing “15-minute neighborhoods”. According to Joe Zehnder, 15-minute cities not only is good to the planet but also _________ people’s health.
But not everyone likes the idea. Some people say it would further concentrate wealth in the most popular areas, leading to high house prices.
So, with such risk, should people stop considering this idea Maybe not. As Bobulescu said, “The seeds are there, and they’ll grow little by little.”

Communication is a simple word, but most people often forget the interpersonal(人际的) skills. Therefore, we need to be taught how to communicate with others well. The followings include some good skills about it.
Put your phone away.
What’s the most important thing for people to do when talking with others That is putting the phones away. It means you are giving your full attention to others.

Little by little, your relationship will get better and better.
Keep eye contact.
It can be difficult to truly look at someone in the eyes, but it is a necessary part of having meaningful conversations. It makes people know that you are listening to their words and you are interested in them. By holding proper eye contact, you will also avoid becoming distracted(分心的).
Let the person speak.
And do not 4 others while they are talking. It’s your time to be quiet. Don’t rush to express your opinions. Just focus on what the person is saying, and try to truly understand the messages they’re trying to express.
Be truthful.
If you want to be trusted, you should be honest. Sometimes, even telling a small lie can put you at the risk of being regarded as a liar. What’s more, you won’t know the result of telling a lie, even if it is small. You are what you like, and others will accept it.
