9、中，选出最佳选项 AWhen I was nine years old, I loved to go fishing with my dad. But the only thing that wasnt very fun about it was that he could catch many fish while I couldnt catch anything. I usually got pretty upset and kept asking him why. He always answered, “Son, if you want to catch a fish, you hav

10、e to think like a fish”, I remember being even more upset then because, “Im not a fish!” I didnt know how to think like a fish. Besides, I reasoned, how could what I think influence what a fish does As I got a little older I began to understand what my dad really meant. So, I read some books on fish

11、. And I even joined the local fishing club and started attending the monthly meetings. I learned that a fish is a cold-blooded animal and therefore is very sensitive to water temperature. That is why fish prefer shallow water to deep water because the former is warmer. Besides, water is usually warm

12、er in direct sunlight than in the shade. Yet, fish dont have any eyelids(眼皮) and the sun huts their eyes The more I understood fish, the more I became effective at finding and catching them. When I grew up and entered the business world, I remember hearing my first boss say, “We all need to think li

13、ke sales people.” But it didnt completely make sense. My dad never once said, “If you want to catch a fish you need to think like a fisherman.” What he said was, “You need to think like a fish.” Years later, with great efforts to promote long-term services to people much older and richer than me, I

14、gradually learned what we all need is to think more like customers. It is not an easy job. I will show you how in the following chapters.21. What did the authors father really mean?_A. To read about fish. B. To learn fishing by oneself.C. To understand what fish think. D. To study fishing in many wa

15、ys.22. According to the author, fish are most likely to be found _.A. in deep water on sunny days B. in deep water on cloudy daysC. in shallow water under sunlight D. in shallow water under waterside trees.23. After entering the business world, the author found _.A. it easy to think like a customer

16、B. his fathers fishing advice inspiringC. his first bosss sales ideas reasonableD. it difficult to sell services to poor people24. This passage most likely comes from _.A. a fishing guide B. a popular sales bookC. a novel on childhood D. a millionaires biography B From the very beginning of school w

17、e make books and reading a constant source of possible failure and public humiliation. When children are little we make them read aloud, before the teacher and other children, so that we can be sure they know all the words they are reading. This means that when they dont know a word, they are going

18、to make a mistake, right in front of everyone. After having taught fifth-grade classes for four years, I decided to try at all costs to rid them of their fear and dislike of books, and to get them to read oftener and more adventurously. One day soon after school had started, I said to them, Now Im g

19、oing to say something about reading that you have probably never heard a teacher say before. I would like you to read a lot of books this year, but I want you to read them only for pleasure. I am not going to ask you questions to find out whether you understand the books or not. If you understand en

20、ough of a book to enjoy it and want to go on reading it, thats enough for me. Also Im not going to ask you what words mean. The children sat stunned and silent. Was this a teacher talking? One girl, who had just come to us from a school where she had had a very hard time, looked at me steadily for a

21、 long time after I had finished. Then, still looking at me, she said slowly and seriously, Mr Holt, do you really mean that? I said just as seriously, I mean every word of it. During the spring she really astonished me. One day, she was reading at her desk, From a glimpse of the illustrations I thou

22、ght I knew what the book was. I said to myself, It cant be, and went to take a closer look. Sure enough, she was reading Moby Dick , in the edition with woodcuts. I said, Dont you find parts of it rather heavy going? She answered, Oh, sure, but I just skip over those parts and go on to the next good

23、 part. This is exactly what reading should be and in school so seldom is,an exciting, joyous adventure. Find something, dive into it, take the good parts, skip the bad parts, get what you can out of it, go on to something else. How different is our mean-spirited, picky insistence that every child ge

24、t every last little scrap of understanding that can be dug out of a book.25. According to the passage, childrens fear and dislike of books may result from_ .A. reading little and thinking little B. reading often and adventurouslyC. being made to read too muchD. being made to read aloud before others

25、26. Upon hearing the teachers talk, the children probably felt that_ .A. it sounded stupid B. it was not surprising at allC. it sounded too good to be true D. it was no different from other teachers talk27. Which of the following statements about the girl is TRUE according to the passage?_A. She ski

26、pped over those easy parts while reading.B. She had a hard time finishing the required reading tasks.C. She learned to appreciate some parts of the difficult books.D. She turned out to be a top student after coming to this school.28. From the teachers point of view, _.A. children cannot tell good pa

27、rts from bad parts while readingB. children should be left to decide what to read and how to readC. reading is never a pleasant and inspiring experience in schoolD. reading involves understanding every little piece of information C Choose Your One-Day Tours!Tour A - Bath & Stonehenge: including entr

D Most Americans get what money they have from their work; that is, they earn an income from wages or salaries. The richest Americans, however, get most of their money from what they own th

35、eir stocks, bonds, real estate, and other forms of property, or wealth. Although there are few accurate statistics to go by, wealth in American society appears to be concentrated in very few hands. More than 20 percent of everything that can be privately owned is held by less than one percent of the

36、 adult population and more than 75 percent of all wealth is owned by 20 percent of American adults. The plain fact is that most Americans have no wealth at all aside from their homes, automobiles, and a small amount of savings. Income in the United States is not as highly concentrated as wealth. In

37、1917 the richest 10 percent of American families received 26.1 percent of all income, while the poorest 10 percent received 17 percent, mainly from Social Security and other government payments. The most striking aspect of income distribution is that it has not changed significantly since the end of

38、 World War II. Although economic growth has roughly doubled real disposable (可自由使用的) family income (the money left after taxes and adjusted for inflation) over the last generation, the size of the shares given to the rich and the poor is about the same. By any measure economic inequality is great in

39、 the United States. The reality behind these statistics is that a large number of Americans are poor. In 1918, 14 percent of the population was living below the federal governments poverty line, which at that time was an annual income of $ 9 287 for a nonfarm family of two adults and two children. I

40、n other words, about one out of seven Americans over 31 million people was officially considered unable to buy the basic necessities of food, clothes, and shelter. The suggested poverty line in 1981 would have been an income of about $11, 200 for a family of four. By this relative definition, about

41、20 percent of the population or more than 45 million Americans are poor.32.What does the majority of the Americans have in terms of wealth?ATheir income and savings.BTheir house, cars and small amounts of savings.CEverything they own in their homes.DActually, they have no wealth at all.33.What is th

42、e percentage of wealth that is in the hands of most Americans?ALess than 25%. BMore than 25%. CMore than 75%. DLess than 20%.34.Why is economic inequality still great in the US in spite of the economic growth?ABecause the economic growth has widened the gap of the family income between the rich and

43、the poor.BBecause income in the US is still concentrated in the hands of the richest 10% of American families.CBecause the proportion of income received by the rich and the poor remains almost the same as in 1917.DBecause some Americans made great fortunes during the Second World War.35.What can we

44、learn from comparison of the two poverty lines in the last paragraph?A. The poverty line of 1918 is more favorable to the poor than that of 1981.B. The 1981 line was helpful to the poor.C. There were more Americans who were officially poor by the 1918 line.D. There were more Americans who were offic

45、ially poor by the 1981 line. 第二节：（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据的短文内容，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。 This Way to Dreamland Daydreaming means people think about something pleasant, especially when this makes them forget what they should be doing.

46、happening around them. They can seem forgetful and clumsy. 36 They annoy us because they seem to be ignoring us and missing the important things. But daydreamers are also responsible for some of the greatest ideas and achievements in human history. 37 Can you imagine what kind of world we would have

47、 without such ideas and inventions? So how can you come up with brilliant daydreams and avoid falling over tree roots or otherwise looking like a fool? First, understand that some opportunities for daydreaming are better than others. Feeling safe and relaxed will help you to slip into daydreams. 38

48、And if you want to improve your chances of having a creative idea while youre daydreaming, try to do it while you are involved in another taskpreferably something simple, like taking a shower or walking, or even making meaningless drawings.Its also important to know how to avoid daydreams for those

49、times when you really need to concerntrate. “Mindfulness”, being focused, is a tool that some people use to avoid falling asleep. 39 Finally, you never know what wonderful idea might strike while your mind has moved slowly away. 40 Always remember that your best ideas might come when your head is ac

50、tually in the clouds.A. Having interesting things to think about also helps.B. They stare off into space and wander by themselves.C. Without wandering minds, we wouldnt have relatively, Coke or Post-it notes.D. At one time, daydreaming was thought to be a cause of some mental illnesses.E. It involve

51、s slow, steady breathing for self-control that helps people stay calm and attentive.F. Daydreams are often very simple and direct, quite unlike sleep dreams, which may be hard to understand.G.
