閱讀短文，根據(jù)要求完成文后的題目。

There was a man who had four sons. He wanted his sons to learn not to judge things too quickly. So he sent them to go and look at a pear tree far away in turns.

The first son went in the winter, the second in the spring, the third in summer, and the youngest son in the fall.

When they had all gone and come back, he called them together to describe what they had seen. The first son said that the tree was ugly. The second son said no; it was covered with green leaves, and full of hope. The third so n disagreed. He said there were many flowers that smelled so sweet and looked so beautiful, it was the most wonderful thing he had ever seen. The last son disagreed with all of them, he said there was lots of fruit in the tree, full of life and harvest（收獲）.

The man then explained to his sons that they were all right, but they had each seen only one season in the tree’ s life. He told them ＂You cannot judge a tree, or a person by only one season and its true nature — the pleasure, joy, and love that come from that life can only be judged at the end, when all the seasons are up.

If you give up when it’s winter, you will miss the promise of your spring, the beauty of your summer, harvest of your fall. Don’t let the pain of one season kill the joy of all the rest.

科目：初中英語 來源：考點53 任務型閱讀之綜合任務-備戰(zhàn)2018年中考英語考點一遍過 題型：多任務混合問題

Many people run for exercise. But what will you do if you are not a ＂born＂ runner or jogger (慢跑者)? You may still want a kind of exercise that’s inexpensive and easy to do. Why not try walking?

Walking requires no special equipment(裝備). It is a kind of exercise that almost any normal, healthy person can do. Walking is good for your health like jogging or running; it will just take longer. Jogging and running make your heart work harder than walking. They also put more stress on your legs and feet than walking does.

The problem with walking is that most people don’t take it seriously. But there’s a big difference between serious walking and the walking that most of us do. Walking, like jogging, should have a steady and continuous motion(穩(wěn)健而持續(xù)的動作).

If you want to get your exercise by walking, you need to have your own walking plan. After all, runners and joggers set goals for themselves. Walkers need goals, too. You also need to set a course to walk. Start by walking about 15—30 minutes a day. Increase your time and distance(距離) slowly. And try increasing your walking speed little by little.

If you prefer to jog or run, follow the same advice. Start off slowly. Spend most of the first few days just walking. Then, start walking and running on the same day. Run or jog a short distance, then walk for a while, then, run, then walk. Follow that pattern for 15—30 minutes a day. Slowly make each run longer and each walk shorter. Later on, you can increase your distance, speed and exercise time.

任務一 將劃線短語 a ＂born＂ runner 譯為漢語。

1.

任務二 列舉兩條Jogging和running對身體部位的影響。

(1) make 2.

科目：初中英語 來源：考點52 任務型閱讀之完成句子或表格-備戰(zhàn)2018年中考英語考點一遍過 題型：填空

Do you have the following experiences?

★When you talk through a park, a noise from the background is becoming louder and clearer. Then you can find that a group of women who are gathering at the side of path. In the cold breeze(微風) of winter, they’ re moving their arms and legs to rhythm(節(jié)奏).

★You want to sleep late into noon on weekend mornings, but find it impossible because the seniors(年長者) have been dancing since the early hours, make a lot of noise.

★Sometimes, you want to have a rest or take a walk with friends in a quiet park, only to be interrupted (被阻止/打斷的) by music associated(聯(lián)系/聯(lián)盟/陪伴) with a group dancing. It is really an annoying problem.

This kind of dancing is called Square Dancing. It seems that if you go around China, you can see these dancing everywhere in the public space. Also in foreign countries, Chinese Square Dancing is very famous. On January 14, 2015, Chinese seniors danced on the square out of the stadium(體育館) where a soccer game between China and Uzbekistan(烏茲別克斯坦) was being held during the Asian Cup in Brisbane(布里斯班).

But in Britain dancing in public is not a cultural habit. You won’ t see any age group swinging their arms and tapping their feet in a park. Usually, they just take a walk for exercise.

Most people think that Square Dancing should be stopped. It disturbs people and makes people feel annoyed. But do you know why these women choose Square Dancing?

For seniors in China, to dance together is a way to keep healthy and be social. With most of them old-aged, they have lots of free time to do whatever they like. There is no more work and their kids have left. They will feel lonely and bored after retiring(退休). So the people who want to keep healthy and stay away from loneliness dance together. I like seeing these women enjoy themselves. They remind us of the importance of exercise as we get older. Besides, most of them have raised whole families. Now it is their time to have fun and enjoy some peace.
