A child came to see him fishing. The old man was really good at fishing and it didnt take long for him to catch a full basket of fish. The old man saw that the child was very cute, and he wanted to give her a whole basket of fish. But the child shook her head. The old man was surprised and asked, “Why dont you want the fish?”The child answered, “I want the fishing rod(竿) in your hands.”The old man asked, “Why do you want the rod?”“It doesnt take long to eat all the fish in a basket. But if I have the fishing rod, I can go fishing by myself and I wont be afraid of not having any more fish to eat.”I think you will certainly say that the child is very smart. Wrong! If she doesnt know how to fish, she can not have fish to eat, even though she has the fishing rod. Its useless to only have a fishing rod. Fishing skills are the most important, not the fishing rod.Too many people think that if they have a “fishing rod” in their life, they will no longer fear(害怕)the wind and rain. They are just like the child, who thought that if she had a fishing rod, she would have fish to eat.（1）The old man was fishing on the bank of _. A . a riverB . a lakeC . a poolD . a stream（2）Why did the child refuse(拒绝) the fish the old man gave her? A . Because she didnt like fishB . Because she wanted his fishing rodC . Because the old man had few fishD . Because she wanted to learn fishing skills（3）The writer thought the child was _ after she explained why she didnt want the fish. A . smartB . hard-workingC . silly(傻的)D . creative(有创造力的)（4）The article mainly tell us _ A . if you have a “fishing rod” in your life, you wont be afraid of anything.B . if you have a fishing rod, youll have a lot of fish to eatC . “fishing skills” are more important than “the fishing rod” in life.D . “the fishing rod” is more important than the fish that people catch（5）What is the best title for the article? A . The Fishing RodB . The Fishing ManC . The Fishing GirlD . The fishing Experience13. （8分） For more than four hundred years, people all over the world have been reading ,watching and listening to the plays and poetry of the British writer William Shakespeare.Most people think of Shakespeare as a writer.

Phone numbers, names, facts we studied only a few days ago life would be so much easier if we could remember them all effortlessly. So how can we improve our memory?Many people think that repeating things is the best way to remember them. While this undoubtedly helps short-term memory (remembering a telephone number for a few seconds, for example), psychologists (心理学家) doubt whether it ca help you to remember things for very long. The British psychologist Ec Stanford seemed to prove this point when he tested himself on five prayers (祈祷文) that he had read aloud every morning for over 25 years. He found that he could remember no more than three words of some of them! More helpful, especially for remembering numbers, is grouping the information. The following numbers would be impossible for most of us to remember: 1492178919931848. But look at them in chunks, and it becomes much easier: 1492 1789 1993 1848.So what about “memory training”? Weve all heard about people who can memorize packs of cards by hearthow is this done and can anyone learn how to do it? According to experts, there are many ways of training your memory. Many of them involve forming a mental picture of the things to be memorized. One method, which may be useful in learning foreign languages, is to create a picture in your mind connected to a word you want to remember.Another method is to invent a story that includes all the things you want to remember. In experiments, people were asked to remember up to 120 words using this skill; when tested afterwards, on average, they were able to recall 90% of them!However, not all of us are interested in learning long lists of names and numbers just for fun. For those studying large number of information, psychologists suggest that the best way to form meaningful connections is to ask yourself lots of questions as you go along. So, for example, if you were reading about a particular disease (疾病), you would ask yourself questions like: “Do people get it from water?”, “What parts of the body does it influence?” and so on. This is said to be far more effective than time spent “passively” reading and re-reading notes.（1）Which of the following is true about repeating things according to the passage? A . It helps short-term memory for sure.B . It makes remembering things interesting.C . It helps to remember things for long.D . It makes remembering prayers effortlessly.（2）The word “chunks” in Paragraph 2 probably means “_”. A . detailsB . turnsC . groupsD . lines（3）What can we infer from the passage? A . Creating a picture is useful in learning math.B . Inventing a prayer trains our memory quickly.C . Remembering long numbers is easy for people.D . Asking yourself questions activates the memory.（4）Whats the writers main purpose in writing this passage? A . To complain that his memory is bad.B . To recognize some memory problems.C . To explain some memory experiments.D . To share some ways of improving memory.四、 词汇运用。 (共2题；共15分)16. （5分）选词填空。far，take，stop，bus，newA：Excuse me! Im_here!B：Hi!
