But the only thing that wasn’t very fun about it was that he could catch many fish while I couldn’t catch anything. I usually got pretty upset and kept asking him why. He 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, “I’m not a fish!” I didn’t know how to think like a fish. Besides, 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 meant. So, I read some books on fish. And I even joined the local fishing club and started attending the monthly meetings. I learned that a fish is a cold-blooded animal and therefore is very sensitive to water temperature. That is why fish prefer shallow water to deep water because the former is warmer. Besides, water is usually warmer in direct sunlight than in the shade. Yet, fish don’t have any eyelids(眼皮) and the sun huts their eyes… The more I understood fish, the more I became effective at finding and catching them..When I grew up and entered the business world, I remember hearing my first boss say, “We all need to think like sales people.” But it didn’t completely make sense. My dad never once said, “If you want to catch a fish you need to think like a fisherman.” What he said was, “You need to think like a fish.” Years later, with great efforts to promote long-term services to people much older and richer than me, I gradually learned what we all need is to think more like customers. It is not an easy job. I will show you how in the following chapters.21. Why was the author upset in fishing trips when he was nine?A. He could not catch a fish.B. His father was not patient with him.C. His father did not teach him fishing.D. He could not influence a fish as his father did.22. What did the author’s father really mean?A. To read about fish.B. To learn fishing by oneself.C. To understand what fish think.D. To study fishing in many ways.23. According to the author, fish are most likely to be found __________.A. in deep water on sunny daysB. in deep water on cloudy daysC. in shallow water under sunlightD. in shallow water under waterside trees.24. After entering the business world, the author found __________.A. it easy to think like a customerB. his father’s fishing advice inspiringC. his first boss’s sales ideas reasonableD. it difficult to sell services to poor people25. This passage most likely comes from _________.A. a fishing guideB. a popular sales bookC. a novel on childhoodD. a millionaire’s biographyBDaniel Anderson, a famous psychologist, believes it’s important to distinguish television’s influences on children from those of the family. We tend to blame TV, he says, for problems it doesn’t really cause, overlooking our own roles in shaping children’s minds.One traditional belief about television is that it reduces a child’s ability to think and to understand the world. While watching TV, children do not merely absorb words and images (影像). Instead, they learn both explicit and hidden meanings from what they see. Actually, children learn early the psychology ofcharacters in TV shows. Furthermore, as many teachers agree, children understand far more when parents watch TV with them, explaining new words and ideas. Yet, most parents use an educational program as a chance to park their kids in front of the set and do something in another room.Another argument against television is that it replaces reading as a form of entertainment. But according to Anderson, the amount of time spent watching television is not related to reading ability. TV doesn’t 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 sports. Things like parents’ educational background have a stronger influence on a child’s reading. “A child’s reading ability is best predicted by how much a parent reads.” Anderson says.Traditional wisdom also has it that heavy television-watching lowers IQ (智商) scores and affects school performance. But here, too, Anderson notes that no studies have proved it. In fact, research suggests that it’s the other way around. “If you’re smart young, you’ll watch less TV when you’re older,” Anderson says. Yet, people of lower IQ tend to be lifelong television viewers.For years researchers have attempted to show that television is dangerous to children. However, by showing that television promotes none of the dangerous effects as conventionally believed, Anderson suggests that television cannot be condemned without considering other influences.26. By watching TV, children learn __________.A. images through wordsB. more than explicit meaningsC. more about images than wordsD. little about people’s psychology27. An educational program is best watched by a child __________.A. on his ownB. with other kidsC. with his parentsD. with his teachers28. Which of the following is most related to children’s reading ability?A. Radio-listeningB. Television-watchingC. Parents’ reading listD. Parents’ educational background29. Anderson believed that __________.A. the more a child watches TV, the smarter he isB. the younger a child is, the more he watches TVC. the smarter a child is, the less likely he gets addicted to TVD. the less a child watches TV, the better he performs at school30. What is the main purpose of the passage?A. To advise on the educational use of TV.B. To describe TV’s harmful effects on children.C. To explain traditional views on TV influences.D. To present Anderson’s unconventional ideas.四.单句填空(每空5分,共30分)31. There are many differences in table _________(manner)in different cultures.32.

第一部分选修八Unit4Ⅰ.阅读理解A(2015·沈阳一模)When Shakespeare was twentyone,he went to London,a very interesting place,to try his fortune.There were the famous London Bridge and St.Paul's Cathedral,and palaces and markets and long streets full of shops.Then,too,there were the daily crowds where could be seen people from all over the world.Knights,scholars and highwaymen(拦路强盗)or thieves who had been infamous for their clever robberies,passed by each other.Here,also,were noblemen dressed in gold,from Italy,Spain and France;slaves from Spanish America,sea captains and ministers,soldiers and servants—all held by chances or interests within the gray walls which circled London,and whose gates gave welcome to as strange a crowd as could be found in the world.Into this curious crowd came Shakespeare,quick to see and eager to learn.And before long all these strange sights were as familiar to him as the faces of his own town's residents.Each one told its story to him so plainly that, as before he had learned the secrets of the fields and woods,so now he learned men and men's interests that make up the great world.And he learned these lessons so well that when he came to write his plays,he made such use of them as no writer ever made before or since;for it is the use of this knowledge of the world,combined with his own genius,that makes Shakespeare the greatest dramatist that has ever lived.文章大意:本文主要讲述了莎士比亚到伦敦后的经历,他很快适应了那里的生活,并把自己所观察到的事情融入自己的创作。

(2016·河南省普通高中毕业班适应性测试)Is geography important? Here's a question for you to answer.What have the following countries got in common: Australia, Japan, the United Kingdom, Iceland and Madagascar? Quite easy if you can picture them on the globe — they are all islands. All of these nations are surrounded by sea. What have these five nations got in common? Hungary, Botswana, Kazakhstan, Paraguay and Liechtenstein. They are all landlocked. In other words, in contrast to the first five countries whose coastline forms their border, the second five have no coastline at all. If you are a Hungarian or a Paraguayan, you have to pass through somebody else's country if you want to go to the beach.Liechtenstein is e ven more of a geographical phenomenon; it is “doubly landlocked” because the countries that surround it — Austria and Switzerland are also landlocked. There is only one other country in the world in a similar position, Uzbekistan, which is surrounded by five other landlocked countries. Go and have a look at the map if you want to know which.So how do countries become landlocked? If you are Swiss or Nepalese, you have probably never thought things could be any other way. Switzerland's mountains, like the Himalayas, have formed a natural boundary for thousands of years. But there are borders. Where one country ends and another begins is not something that is fixed for all time. There are countries like Ethiopia and Bolivia which did have a bit of coast but don't any more. Does it matter? The Ethiopians are not happy that the creation of Eritrea means they now have to use another country's port, when before they had a long coastline on the Red Sea.But why does coastline matter so much? Throughout history people have preferred to live near the sea, and not just for the fish. Sea means trade, which means wealth. Think of the great successful cities like Singapore, New York or Hong Kong today. Russia has fought several wars over the centuries so that its ships could have access to the Baltic, the Black Sea and the Pacific.________________1.What have countries like Hungary, Botswana, Kazakhstan, Paraguay and Liechtenstein got in common?A.They have no borders.B.They have no coastline at all.C.They are all surrounded by sea.D.They had long coastlines before.2.Which group of the following countries are doubly landlocked ones?A.Liechtenstein and Uzbekistan.B.Iceland and Madagascar.C.Australia and the United Kingdom.D.Austria and Switzerland.3.Why does coastline matter so much?A.Because sea means wealth.B.Because people can eat fish.C.Because borders are fixed all time.D.Because people prefer to live near the sea.4.What's the missing sentence at the end of the text?A.Coastline is the main cause of wars.B.Then what's the disadvantage of coastline?C.Geography, it seems, can make a big difference.D.Perhaps other means of transport can be improved.语篇解读:本文是一篇议论文。

第一部分选修八Module3-4Ⅰ.阅读理解AIf you have ever tried a new sport or attempted learning a musical instrument,you are well aware that the hardest part is getting started.Once you figure out the technique,the skills return fairly easily,even if they are not used for long periods of time.Most experts attribute this to“muscle memory”,which means the brain remembers the action and can recall it when needed.Now some researchers from John Hopkins University believe there is another factor that may be as important in recalling previously learned motor skills—the errors made while learning the task.The study led by Reza Shadmehr,Professor of Biomedical Engineering,involved asking volunteers to play a simple video game:hitting a red target dot with a slightly smaller blue dot,similar to playing virtual games.What the gamers did not know was that as soon as they mastered the game,the researchers reprogrammed it by moving the blue dot slightly offcourse,thereby forcing them to restart the learning process.What the scientists observed was that though the volunteers did make mistakes every time the game was changed,they got successively faster at mastering it.Shadmehr believes that this has something to do with the fact that in addition to delivering the task to muscle memory,the brain is also recognizing each wrong move and learning how to correct it.He compares it to having a coach that points out the mistakes and makes suggestions on how to improve.What surprises the scientists most is that making mistakes not only trains the brain to perform better at a specific task,but also helps it learn faster from errors,even when the mistakes are made while learning a completely different task.The researchers believe that the brain keeps a general database of errors and draws_on them whenever a new motor skill is being learned,to ensure that mistakes are not repeated.This helps make successive learning processes much faster.语篇解读:本文介绍了“肌肉记忆”,以及大脑能够从错误中学习。
1.Which example can explain the“muscle memory”?A.One can finish a task better than others.B.One can remember a thing for a long time.C.One can master a game faster than others.D.A skill that one mastered before can return easily.答案:D细节理解题。
由第一段第二句对muscle memory的解释可知,人在掌握了一项技能后,即使长时间不用,也能很容易地重新掌握这项技能,故D项符合。
2.What happened when the scientists changed the game?A.The gamers couldn't hit the target.B.The gamers became very puzzled.C.The gamers found it easy to play.D.The gamers made some mistakes.答案:D细节理解题。
由第二段最后一句可知,游戏被改变之后,游戏者会犯错误。
3.The underlined phrase“draws on”in Paragraph4probably means________.A.gets rid of B.goes on withC.makes use of D.gets ready for答案:C词义猜测题。
上文提到大脑储存(所犯)错误的数据,所以当学习新的技能的时候,它会利用这些数据。
4.What probably made the scientists surprised most?A.Everyone has muscle memory.B.Errors can help us learn faster.C.The brain is magical and powerful.D.Playing video games is beneficial.答案:B细节理解题。
科学家发现错误不仅能够训练大脑把某项具体任务执行得更好,而且有助于大脑更快地从错误中学习。
B(2015·辽宁抚顺六校联考)I was appreciating my family photos on my computer,admiring my two beautiful babies,when I found a disturbing trend:my laptop was open in almost all the pictures.There was my daughter,8months old,playing at my feet while I was typing away on the couch.There was me and my son,with the laptop at my side as I held him in my arms.I'd heard about the Internet addiction before,but always assumed it was something limited to socially challenged guys who played too much World of Warcraft(a computer game).Now it seemed my Internet“habit”is slowly but surely crossing the line.Sometimes I find myself up at midnight,surfing the Web while my family are sleeping.I read news,keep up with friends and write my blog...just for something to do.It turns out that I'm not the only mama who is addicted to the computer.These moms are contributing to a growing global addiction.There's a movement among psychiatrists(doctors who specialize in mental diseases)to recognize the Internet addiction as an official mental disorder.And a recent Stanford University national survey found that14percent of Internet users find it hard to stay away from it for several days at a time;9percent try to hide their“unnecessary Internet use”from their loved ones;8percent admit they use the Web as a way to escape problems.You're likely not the kind of addict who doesn't bathe and abuses drugs to help her stay“up”for more online time.You may have noticed,though,that going online has become a necessary part of your life,which,at least, means a load of clothes go unwashed.It may also mean you're missing much time with your baby—something you probably do care about.语篇解读:本文是一篇议论文。
