任务型阅读-完成任务篇
(一)
Have you ever wondered why sometimes the same word and sometimes two different words are used for animals and their meat in English For example, fish meat is fish, while cow meat is beef and pig meat is pork. The truth lies in the fact that many English words come from other languages, such as French.
In 1066, some French-speakers called Normans took over most of modern-day England. These Normans influenced the local language of Old English by adding their own French words to it. At that time, the poor English farmers called the animals they raised cows, pigs and sheep. The wealthy Normans only met these animals during meals, so they naturally used their own words for the meat they were eating. These included the words boeuf, pork and mouton, which produced the words beef, pork and mutton that we use today.
Some other words like fish and chicken did not experience this change. The French word for fish sounds almost the same as the English word poison (毒药). As for chicken, there is no clear explanation. Next time you eat at a restaurant, pay attention to the menu and you may notice some words with unique origins (独特的起源).

【难句解读】 (第二段最后一句) These included the words boeuf, pork and mouton, which produced the words beef, pork and mutton that we use today. 这其中包括单词boeuf、 pork和mouton, 它们产生了我们今天使用的单词beef、pork和mutton. 本句是一个包含定语从句的复合句。which 在句中引导非限制性定语从句, 其中又包含一个that引导的定语从句。
【答案解析】
1. French 由第一段最后一句“The truth lies in the fact that many English words come from other languages, such as French. ”可知, 有些英语单词来自法语。
2. pork 通读第二段的内容可知, 那些来自法国的诺曼人用pork这个单词表示“猪肉”, 故可推知法国的农民也用 pork表示猪肉。
3. 法语中表示鱼的单词听起来和英语中表示毒药的单词几乎一样。
4. By adding their own French words to it. 由第二段第二句“These Normans influenced the local language of Old English by adding their own French words to it. ”可知, 诺曼人通过加入他们自己的法语单词影响了古英语。
5. Because they only met these animals during meals. 由第二段中的“The wealthy Normans only met these animals during meals, so they naturally used their own words for the meat they were eating. ”可知, 诺曼人只有在吃饭时才能看到这些动物, 所以他们还是用自己的语言来称呼它们。

For centuries, Peruvian (秘鲁的) locals have been talking about a river which is so hot that it can burn people or animals.
When Andrés Ruzo was just a small boy, his grandfather told him a story: Some soldiers went to the Amazon jungle and searched for gold there. However, only few men returned. They told stories about poisonous water, man-eating snakes and a boiling river.
Finally, Ruzo took a chance and hiked the Amazon jungle with his aunt. Then he saw the famous river in person.
The mysterious (神秘的) river, called Boiling River, is about 6 kilometers long, 25 meters wide and 6 meters deep. The water is so hot that small animals which fall into it will be burned at once. You must be surprised that some people still swim in the river. However, they only do it after heavy rainfalls when the river is diluted (稀释) with (A) _________ . The river water is also used to make tea and cook by some people. In fact, the river is 700 km away from the closest volcano (火山). Moreover, it’s the only river that boils in the world, so how exactly the water is heated is still a mystery to scientists.

Doctors in the hospital usually wear white coats. Many people especially kids and teens have a question about why these medical professionals (专业人士) prefer white coats. (A) These white coats have become the standard uniform for them. Why is this
The answer is that these white coats make them look more professional. Patients in the hospital can easily identify their doctors when these doctors wear uniforms in the same color. The white coats also seem to send a message: the persons who wear them can give you good treatment. In fact, patients usually feel more comfortable and relieved (放心的) when their doctors wear white coats instead of other clothes. Indeed (的确), whenever we see someone in a white coat, we naturally think that person is a doctor.
The history goes back to at least 100 years ago. White coats were first introduced into the hospital at the beginning of the 20th century. Before that, scientists were the only people who wore them. At that time, doctors wore their own clothes, even in the operating room. Medicine wasn’t quite scientific back then, but that soon changed. With the development of anesthesia (麻醉) and other improvements, medical training started to pay more attention to science. (B) 因此, 医生们开始穿白色的外套. By 1915, these white coats were part of the normal dress for doctors.

Swifts (雨 燕) are among the fastest animals on Earth. These small birds live mostly in the air. In fact, swifts can fly two or three years without touching the ground! To fit into the life in the sky, swifts depend on their speed and, believe it or not, the saliva (唾液) in their mouths.
Swifts can fly at a speed of over 112 km per hour. That’s because their wing is like a boomerang (回飞镖). This shape gives them extra speed. They can also flap one wing faster than the other, which allows them to make quick turns without slowing down. Making quick turns can help swifts catch flying insects to eat. Swifts often fly into clouds of insects such as mosquitoes. They rush in and open their wide mouths to catch as many insects as they can.
The saliva in swifts’ mouths is very powerful. They use it to catch insects to feed their young. Their saliva is like glue. They collect insects in their mouths and shape the insects into balls with saliva. One food ball can include nearly 1 000 insects. Swifts also use their saliva as glue to build their nests. They catch things in the air and stick them together to form their nests on the side of cliffs (悬崖) or on the roof of buildings.
Swifts’ short legs are not good for walking or standing on smooth surfaces. However, their sharp claws (爪子) allow them to stand on rocks and walls so that they can take a short rest before returning to their life in the sky.
根据短文内容, 按要求完成下列任务。
