2020-2021高考英语试卷任务型阅读题分类汇编(附答案) 一、高中英语任务型阅读 1．根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 ??? Every animal sleeps, but the reason for this has remained foggy. When lab rats are not allowed to sleep, they die within a month.________ ??? One idea is that sleep helps us strengthen new memories. ________ We know that, while awake, fresh memories are recorded by reinforcing (加强) connections between brain cells, but the memory processes that take place while we sleep have been unclear. ??? Support is growing for a theory that sleep evolved so that connections between neurons (神经元) in the brain can be weakened overnight, making room for fresh memories to form the next day.________ ??? Now we have the most direct evidence yet that he is right.________ The synapses in the mice taken at the end of a period of sleep were 18 per cent smaller than those taken before sleep, showing that the connections between neurons weaken while sleeping. ??? If Tononis theory is right, it would explain why, when we miss a nights, we find it harder the next day to concentrate and learn new information — our brains may have smaller room for new experiences. ??? Their research also suggests how we may build lasting memories over time even though the synapses become thinner. The team discovered that some synapses seem to be protected and stayed the same size. ________ You keep what matters, Tononi says. A. We should also try to sleep well the night before. B. Its as if the brain is preserving its most important memories. C. Thats why students do better in tests if they get a chance to sleep after learning. D. Similarly, when people go for a few days without sleeping, they get sick. E. The processes take place to stop our brains becoming loaded with memories. F. Tononis team measured the size of these connections, or synapses, in the brains of 12 mice. G. Sleep is the price we pay for learning, says Giulio Tononi, who developed the idea. 【答案】D；C；G；F；B 【解析】文章大意：这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了睡觉对神经元的影响。 （1）考查细节理解。根
