A
There was once an 11-year-old boy who went fishing every time he went to an island in the middle of a New Hampshire lake.
On the day before bass (巴斯鱼) season opened, he and his father were fishing early in the evening, catching other fish with worms. Then he tied on a small silver lure(鱼饵) and put it into the lake. Suddenly the boy felt something very big pulling on the lure. His father watched with admiration as the boy skillfully brought the fish beside the bank. Finally he lifted the tired 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 big fish. The father lit a match and looked at his watch. It was 10 pm — 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 could be seen in the moonlight. He looked again at his father.
Even though no one had seen them, nor could anyone ever know what time he had caught the fish, the boy could tell from his father’s voice that the decision couldn’t be changed. He threw the huge bass into the black water.
The big fish disappeared. The boy thought that he would never again see such a big fish.
That was 34 years ago. Today the boy is a successful architect in New York City. He often takes his own son and daughters to fish at the same place.
And he was right. He has never again caught such a large fish as the one he got that night long ago. But he does see that same fish ... again and again ... every time
he has an ethical (道德的) decision to make. For, as his father had taught him, ethics are simple matters of right and wrong. It is only the practice of ethics that is difficult.
1．How did the father feel when he saw his son skillfully pulling a big fish out of the water?
A. Proud. B. Nervous. C. Curious. D. Shocked. 2．From the text we know that ______. A. the father didn’t love his son
B. the father always disagreed with his son C. the father disliked the huge fish D. the father was firm and stubborn
3．The successful architect went fishing with his children at the same place because ______.
A. they might catch a big fish there
B. he remembered the moral lesson from his father C. he wanted to remember his father D. their children enjoyed fishing there
4．What does the author want to show in the story? A. It is easy to say something, but difficult to do. B. An ethical decision is not difficult to make. C. It is hard to tell right from wrong sometimes. D. Fishing helps you to make right ethical decisions. B
Brian arrived at the San Francisco airport two hours before the flight to Paris. He was wearing three shirts, a jacket, two pairs of socks, a pair of shorts, and two pairs of jeans. He was carrying one small backpack, which was very full, but he didn’t have any other luggage. Brian needed to meet a man named Tony before he checked in for his flight. He found Tony near the Air France counter. Tony gave him a round-trip ticket and a small package.
“Give this package to Jean-Paul at the airport in Paris. He will have a sign with
your name on it. I think you can find him easily,” Tony said, ”You don’t have any luggage, right?”
“Only this backpack,” Brian answered. ”You said I could bring one carry-on bag.” “That’s right. One carry-on bag is fine. Have a good trip.” “Thanks.”
Is Brian a criminal(罪犯)? Not at all. He is an air-courier. And he paid only $110 for the round-trip ticket to Paris. Air couriers get cheap airline tickets because they take important packages and papers to foreign countries. Businesses sometimes need to get packages and papers to people in foreign countries by the next day. Often, the only way they can do this is to use an air-courier company. It is not cheap for a business to send a package with an air courier, but it is quick.
Every year about 80,000 people worldwide travel as air couriers. The number of tickets for courier travel is growing by about 10 percent a year. However, air-courier travel isn’t for everyone. But if you have very little money, can be flexible(灵活的) about your travel plans, and don’t mind wearing the same clothes for a week, it can be a great way to take a vacation!
5．Why was Brian wearing so many clothes for his travel? A. Because they were the uniforms for air couriers. B. Because that made him easier to be recognized. C. Because his backpack had no room his clothes. D. Because he did not have any luggage with him 6．An air courier is a person who_________ A .manages a business company in foreign countries B. organizes international flights for tourists C. travels around the world with cheap tickets D delivers papers and packages to foreign countries. 7．Businesses choose the air-courier service because_____.
A. it costs less B. it is flexible C. it saves time D. it grows fast 8．One of the disadvantages of traveling as an air courier is that he_____. A. cannot decide when and where to travel
B. cannot take any luggage with him C. has to wear two pairs of jeans D saves little money from the travel
C
Online shopping has become more and more popular these years. Women have jumped ahead of men for the first time in using the Internet to do their holiday shopping, according to a study published last week in the US.
For years men have been more likely to shop on the Internet than women, but during the 2013 holiday season 58 percent of those shopping online were women.
“It shows how mainstream the Internet is becoming,” said Lee Rainie, director of the Pew Internet and American Life Project group, which carried out the study. Rainie said it was only a matter of time before women shoppers caught up with men. This is because women traditionally make decisions about spending.
Users were more likely to shop online to save time. Internet users between the ages 18 and 29 were responsible for some of the surprising increase in the online gift-buying population this time around.
However, three-quarters of the US Internet users did not buy holiday gifts online in 2013. They worried about credit card security(安全), or just compared online prices with off-line prices, then dashed off to the shops to get the best deals. “But even if shoppers don’t buy online, websites are becoming promotion(促销) tools for stores, ” said Dan Hess, vice president of Com Score Network Inc. Hess said that actually most stores’ websites can make customers fully believe the security of their credit card numbers. And most are able to ensure that gifts arrive on time. “It’s all about making the shopping experience more efficient, more reliable and more comfortable.” Hess said.
9．Which of the following statements is true?
A. There were fewer women online shoppers than men in 2013. B. More women shopped online than men in 2013.
C. Most of the Internet users between the ages of 18 and 29 are women.
D. People in the US were more likely to buy gifts online. 10．What does the underlined part “dashed off” probably mean ? A. shut off B. put off C. rush off D. take off 11．According to Dan Hess, shopping online ______.
A. is unsafe B. is convenient C. is a waste of money D. is cheaper
D
It would be pleasant to believe that all young girls in the past got married for romantic reasons; but the fact is that many of them regarded marriage as their only chance to gain independence from their parents, to have a provider, or to be assured of a good place in society. A couple of generations ago, an old maid of twenty-five did not have much to look forward to, she was more or less fated to remain with her parents or to live in some relative’s home where she would help with the chores and the children. Not so any more. In the first place, women remain young much longer than they used to, and an unmarried woman of twenty-eight or thirty does not feel that her life is over. Besides, since she is probably working and supporting herself, she is free to marry only when and if she chooses. As a result, today’s women tend to marry later in life. They have fewer children-or none at all—if they prefer to devote themselves to their profession. The result is a decline in the birthrate. The new role that women have developed for themselves has changed family life. Children are raised differently; they spend more time with adults who are not their parents: baby sitters, day-care center personnel, relatives, or neighbors. Whether they gain or lose in the process is a hotly debated question. Some child experts believe that young children must spend all their time with their mother if they are to grow sound in body and mind. Others think that children get more from a mother who spends with them “quality time” (a time of fun and relaxation set aside for them) rather than hours of forced and unhappy baby sitting. And many child psychologists point out that children kept in day-care centers every day are brighter than those raised at home. No matter what it is, one thing about child-raising to be certain of is that the longer the child is with the mother, the better.
12.It can be concluded from the passage that______.
A. women today have developed a new role in family life
B. the birthrate is declining as a result of women’s pursuit of careers C. women have always been dependent on their parents even after marriage
D. children must spend all their time with their mother if they are to grow sound 13.The change in women’s attitude towards marriage results in all of the following EXCEPT_______.
A. more and more women quit (leave) jobs to take care of their children at home B. women today tend to marry later than they did C. women have less time to raise children D. more and more families remain childless
14.People have different opinions over the question as to______. A. how children should be raised B. where children should be raised
C. whether children should stay with their parents D. how long children should stay with their parents 15.The author suggests that______. A. working women should not have children
B. children should be kept in day-care centers all the time C. young children should stay with their mother as long as possible D. women should leave their work to look after their children at home 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）
根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 A positive attitude is very important as it will make our life easier. 16 There will be times when we will face problems and obstacles. The most challenging part is not when our life goes smoothly but how we react when we experience problems and difficulties.
Those who have a positive attitude will treat any problem as a challenge. Instead of being discouraged, they will treat each failure as a lesson. 17 As for those who do not have the positive attitude, they will see problems and difficulties in a different way.
The situation can be the same for both the Guy A and Guy B. 18 Every one of us has the same amount of time. Since having a negative attitude will eat up our time, why don’t we just make good use of the same amount of time to have a positive attitude? Life itself is already hard. It will be much better if we have a positive attitude which will make our life happier and easier.
19People will generally prefer to stay with people who have positive attitudes as being happy is very infectious(富有感染力的). Everybody will be affected by the energy of positive attitudes and they too will have a positive attitude.
If you learn to see the bright side of life when you’re surrounded by difficulties, you’ll be building your positive attitude fast. 20
A. And they will be motivated to achieve the goal. B. Having good attitudes provides many health benefits. C. In life, not everything goes as smoothly as we want.
D. But with different attitudes, the results will be quite different. E. They may have no approaches to solving the problems.
F. When you have a positive attitude towards everything, you will be happier. G. The more you practice having a positive attitude, the easier and more natural it will come to you.
