fishing with my dadBut the only thing that wasnt very fun about it was that he could catch many fish while I couldnt catch anythingI usually got pretty upset and kept asking him whyHe always answered，Son，if you want to catch a fish，you have 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 fishBesides，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 meantSo，I read some books on fishAnd I even joined the local fishing club and started attending the monthly meetingsI learned that a fish is a coldblooded animal and therefore is very sensitive to water temperatureThat is why fish prefer shallow water to deep water because the former is warmerBesides，water is usually warmer in direct sunlight than in the shadeYet，fish dont have any eyelids（眼皮） and the sun huts their eyesThe more I understood fish，the more I became effective at finding and catching themWhen I grew up and entered the business world，I remember hearing my first boss say，We all need to think like sales peopleBut it didnt completely make senseMy dad never once said，If you want to catch a fish you need to think like a fishermanWhat he said was，You need to think like a fishYears later，with great efforts to promote longterm services to people much older and richer than me，I gradually learned what we all need is to think more like customersIt is not an easy jobI will show you how in the following chapters31Why was the author upset in fishing trips when he was nine？AHe could not catch a fishBHis father was not patient with himCHis father did not teach him fishingDHe could not influence a fish as his father did32What did the authors father really mean？ATo read about fishBTo learn fishing by oneselfCTo understand what fish thinkDTo study fishing in many ways33According to the author，fish are most likely to be foundAin deep water on sunny daysBin deep water on cloudy daysCin shallow water under sunlightDin shallow water under waterside trees34After entering the business world，the author foundAit easy to think like a customerBhis fathers fishing advice inspiringChis first bosss sales ideas reasonableDit difficult to sell services to poor people35This passage most likely comes fromAa fishing guideBa popular sales bookCa novel on childhoodDa millionaires biography36（10分）Daniel Anderson，a famous psychologist，believes its important to distinguish televisions influences on children from those of the familyWe tend to blame TV，he says，for problems it doesnt really cause，overlooking our own roles in shaping childrens mindsOne traditional belief about television is that it reduces a childs ability to think and to understand the worldWhile watching TV，children do not merely absorb words and images （影像）Instead，they learn both explicit and hidden meanings from what they seeActually，children learn early the psychology of characters in TV showsFurthermore，as many teachers agree，children understand far more when parents watch TV with them，explaining new words and ideasYet，most parents use an educational program as a chance to park their kids in front of the set and do something in another roomAnother argument against television is that it replaces reading as a form of entertainmentBut according to Anderson，the amount of time spent watching television is not related to reading abilityTV doesnt take the place of reading for most children； it takes the place of similar sorts of recreation，such as listening to the radio and playing sportsThings like parentseducational background have a stronger influence on a childs readingA childs reading ability is best predicted by how much a parent readsAnderson saysTraditional wisdom also has it that heavy televisionwatching lowers IQ （智商） scores and affects school performanceBut here，too，Anderson notes that no studies have proved itIn fact，research suggests that its the other way aroundIf youre smart young，youll watch less TV when youre older，Anderson saysYet，people of lower IQ tend to be lifelong television viewersFor years researchers have attempted to show that television is dangerous to childrenHowever，by showing that television promotes none of the dangerous effects as conventionally believed，Anderson suggests that television cannot be condemned without considering other influences36By watching TV，children learnAimages through wordsBmore than explicit meaningsCmore about images than wordsDlittle about peoples psychology37An educational program is best watched by a childAon his ownBwith other kidsCwith his parentsDwith his teachers38Which of the following is most related to childrens reading ability？ARadiolisteningBTelevisionwatchingCParentsreading listDParentseducational background39Anderson believed thatAthe more a child watches TV，the smarter he isBthe younger a child is，the more he watches TVCthe smarter a child is，the less likely he gets addicted to TVDthe less a child watches TV，the better he performs at school40What is the main purpose of the passage？ATo advise on the educational use of TVBTo describe TVs harmful effects on childrenCTo explain traditional views on TV influencesDTo present Andersons unconventional ideas41（10分）It was once common to regard Britain as a society with class distinctionEach class had unique characteristicsIn recent years，many writers have begun to speak thedecline of classandclassless societyin BritainAnd in modern day consumer society everyone is considered to be middle classBut pronouncing the death of class is too earlyA recent wideranging society of public opinion found 90percent of people still placing themselves in particular class； 73percent agreed that class was still a vital part of British society； and 52percent thought there were still sharp class differencesThus，class may not be culturally and politically obvious，yet it remains an important part of British societyBritain seems to have a love ofstratificationOne unchanging aspect of a British persons class position is accentThe words a person speaks tell her or his classA study of British accents during 1970s found that a voice sounding like a BBC newsreader was viewed as the most attractive voice，Most people said this accent soundededucatedandsoftThe accents placed at the bottom in this study，on the other hand，were regional（地区的）city accentsThese accents were seen ascommonanduglyHowever，a similar study of British accents in the US turned these results upside down and placed some regional accents as the most attractive and BBC English as the leastThis suggests that British attitudes towards accent have deep roots and are based on class prejudiceIn recent years，however，young upper middleclass people in London，have begun to adopt some regional accents，in order to hide their class originsThis is an indication of class becoming unnoticedHowever，the 1995pop songCommon Peopleputs forward the view that though a middleclass person maywant to live like common peoplethey can never appreciate the reality of a workingclass life41A recent study of public opinion shows that in modern BritainAit is time to end class distinctionBmost people belong to middle classCit is easy to recognize a persons classDpeople regard themselves socially different42The word stratification in Paragraph 3 is closest in meaning toAvarietyBmost people belong to middle classCauthority Dqualification43The study in the US showed that BBC English was regarded asAregionalBeducatedCprejudiced Dunattractive44British attitudes towards accentAhave a long traditionBare based on regional statusCare shared by the AmericansDhave changed in recent years45What is the main idea of the passage？AThe middle class is expanding BA persons accent reflects his classCClass is a key part of British societyDEach class has unique
