　　2016高考英语综合能力测试题（6）】读写任务（共l小题，满分25分）

　　阅读下面的短文，然后按照要求写一篇150词左右的英语短文。

　　Last month, the Ministry of Education asked all schools to get their students to take part in an online "Blessing the Motherland" program during the Spring Festival. But, surprisingly, some netizens (网民) have questioned, even criticized the proposal.

　　Economic globalization has brought about cultural diversity in China. As a result, many young people prefer to celebrate Christmas, Valentine's Day and other Western festivals rather than celebrate traditional Chinese festivals such as the Dragon Boat Festival. It is important to teach the importance of Chinese culture to such people if we don't want the traditional festivals to become history.

　　By chance, the lunar New Year starts on Feb 14, which was celebrated as Valentine's Day only in the West a few years ago, but now is a sort of craze among youths in China's cities. That's why the "Blessing the Motherland" is important; it is aimed at making students attach more importance to Spring Festival and traditional Chinese culture. So it is necessary for China to strengthen the influence of its traditional culture and enhance Chinese people's sense of identit3r and national pride.

　　【写作内容】

　　1．以约30个词概括短文要点；

　　2．以约120个词谈谈你对“重视传统节日”的看法，内容包括：

　　(1)你的读后感想；

　　(2)阐述忽视传统节日引发的后果；

　　(3)对待中国和西方节日你的建议。

　　【写作要求】

　　1．在作文中可以使用实例或其它论述方法支持你的论点，也可以参照阅读材料的内容，但不得直接引用原文中的句子；

　　2．作文中不能出现真实姓名和学校名称。

　　【评分标准】

　　概括准确，语言规范，内容合适，篇章连贯。

　　【参考范文】读写任务(One possible version)

　　Proposed by the government, the “Blessing the Motherland” program has come under question and criticism. Many youths prefer Western festivals to traditional Chinese ones, so it’s time for us to improve Chinese people’s sense of identity and national pride.

　　　I was greatly touched by the passage. We, being Chinese, should regard it as an honor to promote traditional Chinese culture and values by celebrating the traditional festivals, I think.

　　　As we know, festivals are a vital part of a nation’s cultural heritage. If we ignore our traditional festivals, there is no doubt that we think little of our traditional Chinese culture. If so, we are sure to be looked down on by foreigners, because they will never respect the people who are short of traditional culture and national pride!

　　　To summarize, when celebrating different festivals, we should not forget our country’s traditional festivals, and we cannot completely refuse the Western festivals either. Meanwhile, we should absorb what is good and reject what is bad for mutual cultural exchange.

　　Attention deficit(不足)hyperactivity(活动过度)disorder is known by the letters A．D.H.D.Children with A．D.H.D.might have trouble paying attention.They might not seem to listen and might forget things.They might not be able to stay seated or play quietly.They might talk too much，act and speak without thinking about the results of their behavior.These are among the signs named on the website of America’s Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

　　Doctors usually identify the disorder in children.But experts say the behaviors often last into adulthood.Researchers have been looking for the cause or causes of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder.Now, a brain­imaging study offers more evidence that could lead to new ways to treat it.Researchers say they observed shortages in the brain’s reward system in patients with A．D.H.D..The study found that levels of some proteins were lower than normal.Nora Volkow, director of the National Institute on Drug Abuse, says the lack of attention and self­control that mark A．D.H.D.could be caused by problem in the flow of dopamine (多巴胺). She says people might have difficulty completing an activity if they cannot expect some kind of reward in return. Researchers studied the pathways on which dopamine travels and A．D.H.D. Doctor Volkow says the researchers then compared the pathways to those of 44 adults without the disorder. “There is a lower concentration of dopamine markers in the brain of individuals with A．D.H.D., specifically in the areas of the brain that are involved with reward and motivation. And the dopamine levels are directly linked to the severity of the patient’s inattention，”she says.

　　The study used brain images taken at Brookhaven National Laboratory in New York State. Jack Wang is chairman of the Brookhaven medical department. He says the finding might also help explain why people with A．D.H.D.are more likely to abuse drugs or overeat. He says they might be attempting to increase their dopamine levels to make up for the deficits in their reward system.

　　内容解读

　　文章通过讲述Alex在成为一名作家的过程中所经历的艰辛和苦难来向人们说明：凡是有梦想的人，在通往成功的道路上都需要有必胜的勇气和坚韧不拔的毅力。

　　1．D　[结合文章中的“cold storage room”等细节可知，他当时的打印机应该是旧的，即used“旧的，用过的”。priceless无价的，极贵重的；excellent卓越的，极好的。]

　　2．A　[通过下文内容可知他的写作生涯不是一帆风顺的，因此此处是他开始怀疑自己了，故用doubt。]

　　3．B　[文章一开始提到他想成为一名作家，作家要赚钱当然要通过卖自己的作品，故此处应该用selling。]

　　4．C　[根据上下句内容可知，尽管这意味着不确定的、担心失败的生活，但他还是决定将梦想付诸实施。此处是让步关系，因此应该用even though。]

　　5．A　[由上文的怀疑自己和uncertainty可知选A。success成功；loss损失；perspiration汗水，都不符合语境。]

　　6．C　[根据语境这里是指每个有梦想的人都必须经历的。anyone任何人，符合语境。文章最后一句中“anyone with a dream...in the shadowland”做了提示。]

　　7．D　[根据下文的内容可知此处是招聘，下文提到在业余时间才有机会写作，因此可以排除A项；B、C两项不符合逻辑。]

　　8．B　[在1960年6 000美元可是一大笔钱。]

　　9．B　[根据上下文可知前文讲的是工作的待遇，此处是对前面叙述的补充，故用besides“而且”。on the side作为兼职。]

　　10．C　[as表示“当……时”。此处意为“当美元在Alex的脑海中反复出现的时候”。]

　　11．A　[通过下文可知Alex想到了金钱以外的事情，因此此处指的是“有件事使他理清了思绪”，clear(使)变清晰。]

　　12．A　[根据首句Alex的梦想可知，此处应该是他想成为一个全职的作家，故选A项。]

　　13．C　[根据下面Alex说话的内容可知，此处应该用firmly“坚定地”。其他选项不合语境。]

　　14．B　[由下文可知Alex将自己所有的东西都拿了出来。pull out拔出，拿出，符合语境。pull apart拉开，分开；pull down拉倒，摧毁；pull back撤退，向后拉。]

　　15．B　[该题可以根据下文的提示来选择。由最后一段第二句中的paper bag可知此处Alex是将东西放到了一个纸袋里。]

　　16．A　[下文提到Alex功成名就，作家的成功应该是作品被出版了，因此此处选A项。]

　　17．B　[Alex功成名就了，而这是极少数作家能体验到的。]

　　18．D　[此处意为“Alex找到了一个满是自己旧物品的盒子”。此处不是有意地搜索，因此不用search。]

　　19．C　[inside在……里面。此处意为“盒子里面有一个装着两罐罐头和18美分的纸袋”。]

　　20．D　[Alex现在是一位成功的作家，当他看到自己当年的东西时，脑海中浮现出当时艰苦的情景。故D项符合语境。]

　　1．D　[推理判断题。根据第二段的内容可知，50岁的Helen Thayer独自到北极探险，她遭到北极熊的袭击，险些丧命，而她带的狗Charlie救了她的性命。]

　　2．B　[细节理解题。第三段的第一句“Helen goes to challenging places not only for adventure，but also for education.”是解题的依据。]

　　3．D　[细节理解题。根据第四段可知，Helen的父母是运动员和登山者，他们对她产生了很大的影响，因此少年的她也开始了爬山活动。]

　　4．D　[细节理解题。根据文章第五段的最后一句“They hope to travel in Chinese mainland into Sichuan and Tibet to study pandas this year.”可知，Helen和她的丈夫打算到中国的四川和西藏旅游，因此目前她还没有去过四川和西藏。]

　　5．A　[标题概括题。Helen Thayer是探险家，全文围绕她的探险活动展开，因此“The Woman Who Loves Adventure”符合文章内容，故选A项。]
