Question

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 (鲈鱼)  with worms. Then he tied on a small silver lure（鱼饵） 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（可协商的）. 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 (道德规范).

Answer 1

小题1:C
小题2:D
小题3:D

试题分析：小题1:C 推理题。根据第四段倒数2,3行The father lit a match and looked at his watch. It was 10 P.M.-- two hours before the season opened.说明那个时候离开渔的时间还有两个小时，所以要把鱼放回去，这样才是遵守规则，故C正确。
小题2:D 细节题。根据文章最后一句he does see that same fish-again and again-every time he comes up against a question of ethics (道德规范).说明当他遇见道德问题的时候，都会想起父亲让他把鱼放回去的事情，故D正确。
小题3:D 推理题。文章这个故事描述了在无人知晓的情况下，离开渔只有2个小时的时候，还让儿子把一条大鱼放回去，说明父亲很诚实，思想很尊贵。从他看开渔的时间可知也很细心。D项的慷慨体现不出，故D符合文章要求。
点评：在离开渔2小时的时候，儿子抓到了一条很大的鱼，但父亲让他把鱼放回去。以此来教育孩子做人要诚实。文章集中考查了推理题，要求考生准确理解文章大意，合理推测，细致阅读判断。
