He was 11 years old and went fishing every chance he got from the dock at his family’s   cabin on an island in the middle of a New Hampshire lake.
   On the day before the bass season opened, he and his father were fishing early in the evening, catching sunfish and perch (鱸魚)  with worms. Then he tied on a small silver lure(魚餌) and practiced casting. The lure struck the water and caused colored ripples in the sunset, then silver ripples as the moon rose over the lake.
  When his peapole doubled over, he knew something huge was on the other end. His father watched with admiration as the boy skillfully worked the fish alongside the dock.
  Finally, he very gingerly lifted the exhausted fish from the water. It was the largest one he had ever seen, but it was a bass. The boy and his father looked at the handsome fish, gills playing back and forth in the moonlight. The father lit a match and looked at his watch. It was 10 P.M.-- two hours before the season opened. He looked at the fish, then at the boy.
  “You’ll have to put it back, son,” he said.
  “Dad!” cried the boy.
  “There will be other fish,” said his father.
  “Not as big as this one,” cried the boy.
  He looked around the lake. No other fishermen or boats were anywhere around in the moonlight. He looked again at his father. Even though no one had seen them, nor could anyone ever know what time he caught the fish, the boy could tell by the clarity of his father’s voice that the decision was not negotiable(可協(xié)商的). He slowly worked the hook out of the lip of the huge bass and lowered it into the black water.
  The creature swished its powerful body and disappeared. The boy suspected that he would never again see such a great fish.
  That was 34 years ago. Today, the boy is a successful architect in New York City. His father’s cabin is still there on the island in the middle of the lake. He takes his own son and daughters fishing from the same dock.
  And he was right. He has never again caught such a magnificent fish as the one he landed that night long ago. But he does see that same fish-again and again-every time he comes up against a question of ethics (道德規(guī)范).
小題1: Why did the father ask his son to put the perch back?
A.Because the father disliked the perch.
B.Because the father was afraid of being fined
C.Because the ethics must be obeyed.
D.Because the son was more experienced in fishing than his father.
小題2:When does the architect (the father’s son) think of that perch put back?
A.When he takes his own and son and daughters fishing from the same dock.
B.When he builds many famous buildings.
C.When he pays a visit to his old father.
D.When he faces some problems about ethics.
小題3:Which word can not be used to describe the boy’s father?
A.honestB.noble-mindedC.caringD.generous

小題1:C
小題2:D
小題3:D

試題分析:小題1:C 推理題。根據(jù)第四段倒數(shù)2,3行The father lit a match and looked at his watch. It was 10 P.M.-- two hours before the season opened.說明那個(gè)時(shí)候離開漁的時(shí)間還有兩個(gè)小時(shí),所以要把魚放回去,這樣才是遵守規(guī)則,故C正確。
小題2:D 細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù)文章最后一句he does see that same fish-again and again-every time he comes up against a question of ethics (道德規(guī)范).說明當(dāng)他遇見道德問題的時(shí)候,都會想起父親讓他把魚放回去的事情,故D正確。
小題3:D 推理題。文章這個(gè)故事描述了在無人知曉的情況下,離開漁只有2個(gè)小時(shí)的時(shí)候,還讓兒子把一條大魚放回去,說明父親很誠實(shí),思想很尊貴。從他看開漁的時(shí)間可知也很細(xì)心。D項(xiàng)的慷慨體現(xiàn)不出,故D符合文章要求。
點(diǎn)評:在離開漁2小時(shí)的時(shí)候,兒子抓到了一條很大的魚,但父親讓他把魚放回去。以此來教育孩子做人要誠實(shí)。文章集中考查了推理題,要求考生準(zhǔn)確理解文章大意,合理推測,細(xì)致閱讀判斷。

Sometimes you'll hear people say that you can't love others until you love yourself. Sometimes you’ll hear people say that you can't expect someone else to love you until you love yourself. Either way, you've got to love yourself first and this can be tricky. Sure we all know that we’re the apple of our parents’eyes,and that our Grandmas think we’re great talents and our Uncle Roberts think that we will go to the Olympics. But sometimes it's a lot harder to think such nice thoughts about ourselves. If you find that believing in yourself is a challenge,it is time you build a positive self-image and learn to love yourself.
Self-image is your own mind’s picture of yourself. This image includes the way you look,the way you act,the way you talk and the way you think. Interestingly, our self-images are often quite different from the images others hold about us. Unfortunately, most of these images are more negative than they should be. Thus changing the way you think about yourself is the key to changing your self-image and your whole world
The best way to defeat a passive self-image is to step back and decide to stress your successes. That is,make a list if you need to,but write down all of the great things you do every day. Don’t allow doubts to occur in it.
It very well might be that you are experiencing a negative self-image because you can’t move past one flaw or weakness that you see about yourself. Well, roll up your sleeves and make a change of it as your primary task. If you think you’re silly because you aren’t good at math, find a tutor. If you think you’re weak because you can’t run a mile,get to the track and practice. If you think you’re dull because you don’t wear the latest trends,buy a few new clothes. But remember, just because you think it doesn’t mean it’s true.
The best way to get rid of a negative self-image is to realize that your image is far from objective,and to actively convince yourself of your positive qualities. Changing the way you think and working on those you need to improve will go a long way towards promoting a positive self-image. When you can pat yourself on the back,you’ll know you're well on your way. Good luck!
小題1:You need to build a positive self-image when you___________.
A.dare to challenge yourselfB.feel it hard to change yourself
C.a(chǎn)re unconfident about yourselfD.have a high opinion of yourself
小題2:According to the passage,our self-images___________.
A.have positive effectsB.a(chǎn)re hot true

A.To keep a different image of others.B.To make your life successful.
C.To understand your own world.D.To change the way you think.
小題4: What is the passage mainly about?
A.How to prepare for your success.B.How to face challenges in your life.

Dear Editor,
I’m a Senior I study in a middle school. This term, my favorite teacher, Miss Mao, no longer teaches us. I want to see her, but I’m afraid that she no longer likes me and I don’t want to trouble her. I really miss her. What should I do?
Tian Yan
Dear Tian Yan,
It’s bad luck that you have lost your favorite teacher, But if she is still in your school , nothing can stop you going to see her. When she isn’t busy, ask her if she minds having a quick chat. You can then tell her she was your favorite teacher------ everyone is happy to know that they are liked!
If she has left the school, it will be more difficult to meet her. It will be hard, but remember people always come and go in their lives. We can’t rely on them to be with us all the time.
You may be sad to say goodbye to her, but we can remember and learn from her. Think of her best qualities.
You could also try looking for similar qualities in your other teachers. Study hard and give your new teacher a chance. In time, you might start to see that he or she has different qualities to learn from.
Finally, you can not completely rely on other people to get you through your studies , or even your life.

Everyone needs friends. We all like to feel close to someone. It is nice to have a friend to talk, laugh and do things with. Surely, there are times when we need to be alone. We don't always want people around. But we would feel lonely if we never had a friend.
No two people are the same. Sometimes friends don't get along well, which doesn't mean that they no longer like each other. Most of the time they will go on being friends. Sometimes friends move away, then we feel very sad. We miss them much, but we can call them and write to them. Maybe we would never see them again, and we can make new friends. It is surprising to find out how much we like new people when we get to know them. Families sometimes name their children after a close friend. Many places are named after men and women, if they are friendly to people in a town. Some libraries are named this way. So are some schools. We think of these people when we go to these places.
There's more good news for people, if they have friends. These people live longer than those people if those don't have friends. Why? It could be that they are happier. Being happy helps you stay well. Or it could be just knowing that someone cares, if someone cares about you, you take better care of yourself.
小題1:The first paragraph tells us __________.
A.none needs friends
B.we always need friends around us
C.making friends is the need in people's life

A few years ago, I took a sightseeing trip to Washington, D.C.Standing outside the Ronald Reagan Center, I heard a voice say, “Can you help me?” When I turned around, I saw an elderly blind woman with her hand extended.In a natural reflex, I reached into my pocket, pulled out all of my loose change and placed it on her hand without even looking at her.I was annoyed at being bothered by a beggar.But the blind woman smiled and said, “I don’t want your money.I just need help finding the post office.”
In an instant, I realized what I had done.I judged another person simply for what I assumed she had to be.I hated what I saw in myself.This incident re-awakened my belief in humility(謙恭), even though I’d lost it for a moment.
The thing I had forgotten about myself is that I am an immigrant.I left Honduras and arrived in the U.S.a(chǎn)t the age of 15.I started my new life with two suitcases, my brother and sister, and a strong, serious-minded mother.Through the years, I have been a dishwasher, mechanic and pizza delivery driver among many other humble jobs, and eventually I became a network engineer.
In my own life, I have experienced many open acts of prejudice (偏見).I remember a time, at age 17 —— I worked as a waiter, and I heard a father tell his little boy that if he did not do well in school, he would end up like me.I have also witnessed the same treatment of my family and friends, so I know what it’s like, and I should have known better.
But now, living in my American middle-class lifestyle, it is too easy to forget my past, to forget who I am and where I have been, and to lose sight of where I want to be going.That blind woman on the streets of Washington, D.C., cured me of my blindness.She reminded me of my belief in humility and to always keep my eyes and heart open.By the way, I helped that lady to the post office.And in writing this essay, I hope to thank her for the priceless lesson.
小題1:We can learn from the first two paragraphs that _______.
A.the author regretted his act of prejudice
B.the blind woman needed the money badly
C.the author was as poor as the blind woman
D.the author was a native American
小題2:According to Paragraph 4, hearing the father’s words, the author was probably _______.
A.rather hurtB.very excited
C.deeply movedD.greatly inspired
小題3:According to the passage, the author probably agrees that one should _______.
A.be nice to the elderly and the disabled
B.try to experience different kinds of life
C.treat others equally with love and respect
D.think about one’s past as often as possible
小題4:Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?

B.How my dream comes true
C.A Belief that will never change
D.A priceless lesson in the street

We all have weaknesses and strengths, no matter who we are. Sometimes the weaknesses seem to outweigh the strengths and sometimes it’s the other way around. Some people get sick easily. Some struggle to manage their money properly. Some people are hopeless communicators and struggle with relationships.
Many people accept it as just bad luck, but not everyone. Some people facing huge limitations still manage to achieve surprising things. They rise above their weaknesses and do not allow them to limit their possibilities.
I attended a school prize-giving ceremony not so long ago and the guest speaker was Andrew Becroft, who had a severe stutter(口吃) as a child. Instead of allowing this to limit him, he chose to work hard to overcome it. He is now the Principal Youth Court Judge for New Zealand. Not only did he become successful, but he did so in a profession where he had to speak in front of others regularly.
Lots of people face far more significant limitaions than you do. They may be missing limbs or are born into extreme poverty. But no matter what the limitation you will always find people who have overcome it. Brett Eastburn has no arms or legs and yet is an inspirational speaker and also a very good wrestler. Ringo Starr, drummer for the Beatles, came from a very poor background. He was constantly plagued with illness as a child and spent large amounts of time in hospital. Mark Inglis lost both of
his legs below the knees in a mountaineering accident, but has since climbed Mt Everest.
Most of us will never have to face the challenges these people faced. Yet most of us will never achieve to the degree that these people have either, unless we choose to. If Mark Inglis can climb the highest mountain in the world without legs, _________ ?
小題1:What is the main idea of Paragraph 1? (Within 8 words.)
_______________________________________________________
小題2:Which sentence in the text is the cloest in meaning to the following one?
All of the people don’t think it unlucky to have weaknesses, although many may think so.
