Besides, how could what I think ______ what a fish does?

As I got a little older I began to ______ what my dad really meant. So, I read some books on fishes. And I ______ joined the local fishing club and started attending the monthly meetings.

本文叙述了作者通过父亲教授他钓鱼时，要像鱼一样思考，学会钓鱼的道理，后来在商业工作中，作者也认识到要像消费者一样去思考。

【1】句意：但唯一不好玩的是，他可以抓很多鱼，而我什么都抓不到。

考查不定代词辨析。A. anything任何东西；B. everything一切；C. nothing没有一件东西。根据句中的while可知，此处前后表示转折，即他（作者的父亲）抓了很多鱼，但是作者却什么都没有抓到。故选C。

【2】句意：我通常都很不高兴，不停地问他为什么。

考查副词辨析。A. only仅仅，只有；B. already已经；C. even甚至。根据started attending the monthly meetings可知，此处是作者理解了父亲的意思以后，甚至还加入了钓鱼俱乐部。故选C。

【7】句意：我学到了鱼是冷血动物，对水温很敏感。

考查名词辨析。A. quality质量，品质；B. temperature温度；C. taste品味。根据a fish is a cold-blooded animal可知，鱼是冷血动物，所以对水的温度很敏感。故选B。

【8】句意：更重要的是，水在阳光直射下通常比在阴凉处更温暖。

考查形容词辨析。A. cooler更凉爽；B. warmer更暖和；C. brighter更明亮。根据in direct sunlight可知，此处是处在阳光直射下的水要比阴凉处的水更加暖和。故选B。

【9】句意：当我长大进入商界时，我记得听到我的第一个老板说”我们都需要像销售人员一样思考”。

考查名词辨析。A.business商业；B.teaching教；C.sports体育运动。根据like sales people可知，此处是作者进入商界以后，老板告诉作者要像销售人员一样思考。故选A。
