11．An old man was fishing by a river．A child was watching him．The old man was really good at fishing and it didn't take him much time to catch a 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 don't you want the fish？"
The child replied，"I want the fishing rod（竿）in your hands．"The old man asked，"Why do you want the rod？"
"It won't take long to eat all the fish in the basket．But if I have the fishing rod，I can go fishing by myself and I won't be afraid of not having any fish to eat．"
I think you will certainly say that the girl is very smart．Wrong!If she doesn't know how to fish，she cannot have fish to eat，even though she has the fishing rod．It's 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 the difficulties in life．They are just like the child，who thought that if she had a fishing rod，she would have fish to eat．
56．What was the child doing when the old man was fishing？C
A．She was talking with him．
B．She was playing by the river．
C．She was watching the old man．
D．She was helping the old man．
57．Where did the old man put the fish？A
A．In a basket．
B．In a bag．
C．In a glass．
D．In a box．
58．Why did the child refuse to get the fish？A
A．Because she wanted the old man's fishing rod．
B．Because the fish was not enough．
C．Because she didn't like eating fish．
D．Because the fish was too small．
59．The writer thinks the child isD．
A．hard-workingB．lazyC．cleverD．silly
60．The story mainly tells usD．
A．the"fishing rod"is harder to get than"fishing skills"
B．if we have a fishing rod，we'll have a lot of fish to eat
C．if we have a"fishing rod"，we won't have to fear anything
D．"fishing skills"are more important than the"fishing rod"in life．

分析 一个孩子在看一位老人钓鱼，老人想把钓到的鱼送给那个孩子，但她不要鱼却想要老人的鱼竿．她认为只要有了鱼竿，以后就不用发愁没有鱼吃了．但是如果不会钓鱼，鱼竿只是一种摆设．在现实生活中，想在社会上立足，就必须拥有一技之长．

解答 56．答案 C 细节理解题．根据第一段前两句"An old man was fishing by a river．A child was watching him．"可知，那个孩子在看着那个钓鱼的老人，故选C．
57．答案 A 细节理解题．根据第一段"it didn't take him much time to catch a basket of fish"可知，老人把钓到的鱼放在一个篮子里，故选A．
58．答案 A 细节理解题．根据第三段"The child replied，"I want the fishing rod（竿） in your hands．""可知，那个孩子想要老人的鱼竿，故选A．
59．答案 D 推理判断题．根据第五段"I think you will certainly say that the child is very smart．Wrong!…Fishing skills are the most important，not the fishing rod．"可知，作者不认为那个孩子很聪明，因为如果不会钓鱼，即使有了鱼竿也钓不到鱼，作者认为钓鱼的技能才是最重要的，故选D．
60．答案 D 写作意图题．根据倒数第二段"Fishing skills are the most important，not the fishing rod．"和最后一段的"Too many people think that if they have a"fishing rod"，they will no longer fear the difficulties in life"可知，作者认为最重要的是钓鱼的技能而非鱼竿，这个道理也适用于日常生活，有很多人只是想得到"鱼竿"，他们以为有了"鱼竿"就不用害怕遇到的困难了，但只有掌握一技之长，才能在社会上立足，故选D．

2．It was the first snow of winter-an exciting day for every child but not for most teachers．Up until now，I had been old enough to dress myself，but today I would need some help．Miss Finlayson，my kindergarten teacher，had been through first snow days many times，but I think she may still remember this one．I managed to get into my wool snow trousers．But I struggled with my jacket because it didn't fit well．It was a hand-me-down from my brother，and it made me wonder why I had to wear his ugly clothes．At least my hat and scarf were mine，and they were quite pretty．Finally it was time to have Miss Finlayson help me with my boots（靴子）．In her calm，motherly voice she said，"By the end of winter，you will all be able to put on your own boots．"I didn't realize at the time that this was more a statement of hope than of confidence．I handed her my boots and stuck out my foot．Like most children，I expected grown-ups to do all the work．After much pushing，she managed to get the first one into place and then，with a sigh，worked the second one on too．I announced，"They're on the wrong feet．"She struggled to get the boots off and went through the joyless task of putting them on again．"They're my brother's boots，you know，"I said．"I hate them!"Somehow，from long years of practice，she managed to act as though I wasn't an annoying（烦人的）little girl，She pushed and pushed，less gently this time．With a greater sigh，seeing the end of her struggle with me，she asked，"Now，where are your mittens（连指手套）？"I looked into her eyes and said，"I didn't want to lose them，so I hid them in the toes of my boots．"

19．What should you think about when you try to find your career？You are probably better at some school subjects than others．These may show strengths that you can in your work．A boy who is good at mathematics can use that in engineering career．A girl who spells well and likes English may be good at office work．So it is important to know the subjects you do well in at schools．On the other hand，you may not have any specially strong or weak subjects but your records show a general satisfactory standard．Although not all subjects can be used directly in a job，they may have indirect value．
Your school may have taught you skills，such as typing or technical drawing，which you can use in your work．You may be good at mental work or cookery and look for a job where you can improve these skills．
If you have had a part-time job on Saturday or in the summer，think what you obtained （获得）from it．If nothing else，you may have learned how to get to work on time，to follow instructions and to get on with older workers．You-may have learned to give correct change in a shop，for example．Just as important，you may become interested in a particular industry or career you see from the inside in a par-time job．
Facing your weak points is also part of knowing yourself．You may be all thumbs （笨手笨脚）when you handle tools； Perhaps you are a poor speller or cannot add up a column of figures．It is harder to face any weaknesses than to pretend they do not exist．Your school record，for instance，may not be too good，yet it is an important part of your background．You should not feel sorry about it but，instead，recognize that you will have a chance of a fresh start at work．

C．one of the best ways of earning extra money
D．a waste of time he could have spent on study

3．About 60percent of American students go directly from high school into college．Choosing a college can be difficult．But（25）once/when/after these students are in college，there is one other choice that seems to be even（26）harder （hard）-deciding on a major．
On average，college students in the United States change their major three times．There are several reasons for this，according to academic advisers．About half of all freshmen start college not knowing what to major in．（27）Among/Of those who think they know （28）what they want to study，six out of ten end up changing their major as well．
College is a time of discovery．As students take classes，they find new areas that they are interested in．Unfortunately，some of those students find so many interesting classes （29）that they are not able to decide on a major．Some advisers say that students need better tools，both in colleges and in high schools，（30）to help （help） them figure out what major is best for them．A few universities have started offering special computer programs to help．Students can learn more about different majors，or even about what kinds of jobs people find with each kind of major．They are sometimes surprised to find philosophy majors （31）working/are working/work （work） for a software development company or biology majors in the tourism industry．Even with many tools available to them，choosing a major is difficult for many students．
20．Car crashes are the top killer of American teenagers．Most of the crashes result from distracted driving-not paying attention to the road．
Ryan Didone was a fifteen-year-old passenger in a car that hit a tree．He was one of the nation's more than thirty thousand victims of traffic crashes in 2008．Nearly four thousand deaths，about twelve percent involved drivers age fifteen to twenty．
Ryan's father，Thomas Didone，is a police captain in Maryland．"It was an inexperienced，immature driver driving at night with a carload of kids．He was distracted，he was going too fast，and it ended up causing one death and some seriously injured．"He shares the story of his son's death to help educate teens and their families about distracted driving．
Jim Jennings from the Allstate Insurance Company says the number one cause of distracted-driving accidents is the mobile phone．He says talking on the phone or reaching for it is like drinking four beers and driving．"If you're texting while driving，you are twenty-three times more likely to get into an accident than somebody who isn't．"
Government and private groups are using public service announcements and events to bring more attention to the problem．For example，the insurance industry recently held a safety event for teen drivers．At first，nineteen-year-old Kevin Schumann easily avoided large，inflatable dolls thrown in front of the car to represent children．He also avoided orange cones representing the edge of the road．Then，as part of the test，he started texting．He hit several cones and at least one doll．"That's what really opened up the experience for me to prove how bad it is to really text and drive．"
Debbie Pickford of Allstate Insurance says teens are especially at risk from distracted driving-and not just because they lack experience on the roads．"According to the research，teens don't really have fully developed brains until they're twenty-five years old．You put those two things together and you get a much，much higher risk．"
A new law proposes a graduated driver licensing system．Graduated means teenagers start with restrictions like on night driving and numbers of passengers．They could not get a full driver's license until age eighteen．
45．Of all the following，which is the best title for the passage？C
A．Car Crashes-the Top Killer       B．Drunken Driving
C．Distracted Driving               D．How to Avoid Car Crashes
46．According to Jim Jennings，what might be the main cause of distracted driving accidents？
A．Speed．B．Age．C．Experience．D．Cell-phones．
47．Which of the following statements is true？C
A．Thomas Didone is responsible for his son Ryan's death．
B．The insurance companies benefit a lot from teen driving．
C．Kevin Schumann took the test to learn the risk of texting while driving．
D．Debbie Pickford thinks that people cannot drive until brains are fully developed．
48．According to the new law，A．
A．it will be harder for young people to get a full driver's license
B．people will not be allowed to touch the wheel until they are 18
C．young people are forbidden to take any passengers in their cars
D．people can't drive until they graduate from colleges or universities．
1．One evening，I came across one of my son's papers with a failing grade．I almost started to yell his name（74）whenI suddenly remembered he was in bed asleep．It was his（75）ninth（nine） year of school and his academic career seemed to be in ruins，so I was full of anger．But I put the paper aside and turned to the（76）other/nextone，at the top of which were written"My dad"．It was a poem about me，（77）which included the time I had to leave work to take him to the hospital because he had broken his finger．So careless was I（78）thatI had forgotten all about that．He talked about how I wrestled with him in the evenings and a good many other things．That paper was suddenly not nearly as important as it（79）had been（be） a few minutes before．I don't know if he planned the poem next to the failing grade （80）to soften（soften） the below，but it worked．Instead of（81）asevere lecture，I talked to him about the poem as well as the（82）failed（fail） homework，and it began to make sense to me that I could include praise along（83）withconstructive criticism （批评）．
