When I was nine years old, I loved to go fishing with my dad. But the only thing that wasn’t very fun about it was that 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 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 hurts 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.
4. Why was the author upset about fishing 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 to fish.
D. He could not influence a fish as his father did.
5. According to the author, fish are most likely to be found ______.
A. in deep water on sunny days B. in deep water on cloudy days
C. in shallow water under sunlight D. in shallow water under waterside trees
6. After entering the business world, the author found ______.
A. it easy to think like a customer B. his father’s fishing advice inspiring
C. his first bosses sales ideas reasonable D. it difficult to sell services to poor people
7. Where does the text probably come from?
A. A fishing guide. B. A popular sales book.
C. A novel on childhood. D. A book about rich people.
【答案】4. A 5. D 6. B 7. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇夹叙夹议文章。主要讲述了作者小时候同父亲钓鱼，父亲给作者一些钓鱼的建议，这些建议给后来从事销售工作的作者一些启示。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“When I was nine years old, I loved to go fishing with my dad. But the only thing that wasn’t very fun about it was that I couldn’t catch anything. I usually got pretty upset and kept asking him why.”（当我九岁的时候，我喜欢和爸爸一起去钓鱼。但唯一不太有趣的是，我什么也抓不到。我通常很生气，不停地问他为什么。）可知，作者沮丧是因为他住不到鱼。故选A项。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中“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 hurts their eyes...”（我了解到鱼是冷血动物，因此对水温非常敏感。这就是为什么鱼喜欢浅水而不是深水，因为前者更温暖。此外，水在阳光直射下通常比在阴凉处更热。然而，鱼没有眼皮，太阳会伤害它们的眼睛……）可推知，根据作者的说法，鱼最有可能在水边树下的浅水区被发现。故选D项。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“I gradually learned what we all need is to think more like customers.”（我逐渐明白，我们都需要的是更多地像客户一样思考。）这与父亲所说的“You need to think like a fish.”（你需要像渔夫一样思考。）相似。由此可推知，这是父亲的话给作者的启发。故选B项。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“It is not an easy job. I will show you how in the following chapters.”（这不是一件容易的工作。我将在接下来的章节中告诉你如何做。）可推知，本文可能来自一本畅销书。故选B项。
C
While still in its early stages, welfare reform has already been judged a great success in many states —at least in getting people off welfare. It’s estimated that more than 2 million people have left the rolls(名单) since 1994.
In the past four years, welfare rolls in Athens County have been cut in half. But 70 percent of the people who left in the past two years took jobs that paid less than $6 an hour. The result: The Athens County poverty rate still remains at more than 30 percent - twice the national average. For advocates for the poor, that’s an indication that much more needs to be done.
“More people are getting jobs, but it’s not making their lives any better,” says Kathy Lairn, a policy analyst at the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities in Washington.
A center analysis of US Census data nationwide found that last year, a greater percentage of single, female-headed households were earning money on their own, but that average income for these households actually went down.
But for many, the fact that poor people are able to support themselves almost as well without government aid as they did with it is in itself a huge victory.
“Welfare was a poison. It was a toxin that was poisoning the family,” says Robert Rector, a welfare-reform policy analyst. “The reform is changing the moral climate in low-income communities. It’s beginning to rebuild the work ethic, which is much more important.”
Mr. Rector and others argued that once “the habit of dependency is cracked,” then the country can make other policy changes aimed at improving living standards.
8. Why don’t people enjoy their lives better when they get jobs?
A. Because they are used to relying on welfare to make livings.
B. Because the cost of living is higher than before.
C. Because many families are not satisfied with their income.
D. Because their wages are very low.
9. From the passage we know that the reconstruction of ______ is the core of the reform.
A. government aids B. work ethic
C. welfare funds D. moral awareness
10. According to the example of the Athens Country, why great efforts should be made for the poor?
A. To improve their living standards. B. To help them be employed.
C. To get them off welfare. D. To increase their wage.
11. What can be inferred about the author based on the passage?
A. He is completely certain about the success of welfare reform.
B. He thinks that welfare reform has done little good for the poor.
C He considers welfare reform successful in general.
D. He insists welfare reform has increased the government’s burden.
【答案】8. D 9. B 10. A 11. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了美国正在进行的社会福利改革。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段中“In the pastfour yearswelfare rolls in Athens County havebeen cut in half.But 70 percent of the people whoeft in the past two years took iobs that paid lessthan $6 an hour.(在过去的四年里，AthensCounty的福利人数减少了一半。但在过去两年里，不再受救济的人中，有70%的人从事的是每小时不到6美元的工作。)”可知，虽然人们找到了工作，但收入太低以至于他们无法更好地享受生活。故选D项。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章倒数第二段中“The reform is changing the moral climate in low-income communities.lt's beginning to rebuild the work ethic.which is much more important.(改革正在改变低收入社区的道德风气。它开始重建工作观念，这是更重要的。)”可知，重塑低收入工作者们的工作观念是改革的核心任务。故选B项。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“The AthensCounty poverty rate still remains at more than 30percent -- twice the national average.For advocates for the poor, that's an indication thatmuch more needs to be done. (Athens County的贫困率仍然保持在30%以上，是全国平均水平的两倍。对于穷人的倡导者来说，这意味着需要做更多的工作。)”可知，Athens County的贫困率很高，说明人们的生活水平很低。以及最后一段中“then thecountry can make other policy changes aimed atimproving living standards.(然后国家可以做出其他旨在提高生活水平的政策改变。)”可知，国家的福利政策就是为了提高人民的生活水平。故选A项。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“While still in itsearly stages，welfare reform has already beenjudged a great success in many states -- at leastin getting people off welfare.lt's estimated thatmore than 2 million people have left the rolls since1994.(虽然福利改革还处于早期阶段，在许多州就已经被认为是一个巨大的成功--至少在使人们摆脱福利方面是这样。据估计，自1994年以来，有超过200万人脱离了救济名册。)”可推断出，福利改革制度虽然还处于早期，但是已经改变了人们的思想观念，使人们不再心安理得的接受救济，这本身就是一个胜利，所以作者认为福利改革总体上是成功。故选C项。
D
A team of engineers at Harvard University has been inspired by nature to create the first robotic fly. The mechanical fly has become a platform for a series of new high-tech systems. Designed to do what a fly does naturally, the tiny machine is the size of a fat housefly. Its mini wings allow it to stay in the air and perform controlled flight tasks.
“It’s extremely important for us to think about this as a whole system and not just a bunch of individual components (零件),” said Robert Wood, the Harvard engineering professor who has been working on the robotic fly project for over a decade. “The added difficulty with such a project is that actually none of those components are off the shelf and so we have to make them all on our own,” he said.
They engineered a series of systems to start and drive the robotic fly. “The seemingly simple system which just moves the wings has a number of individual components, each of which individually has to perform well, and then has to be matched well to everything its connected to,” said Wood. The flight device was built into a set of power, computation, sensing and control systems. Wood says the success of the project proves that the flying robot with these tiny components can be built and manufactured.
Wood says the design offers a new way to study flight mechanics and control at insect-scale. Yet, the power, sensing and computation technologies on board could have much broader applications. “You can start thinking about using them to answer open scientific questions, you know, to study biology in ways that would be difficult with the animals, but using these robots instead,” he said. “So there are a lot of technologies and open interesting scientific questions that are really what drives us on a day-to-day basis.”
12. Which of the followings can replace the underlined phrase “off the shelf” in Para 2?
A. Reliable. B. Put aside. C. Unprepared. D. Ready-made.
13. What does the success of the robotic fly suggest?
A. It will help to kill dangerous insects.
B. The flight device needs a few components.
C. Scientists are able to make tiny flying machines.
D. Humans will seldom use animals in biological tests.
14. What does Wood hope to do with the flying robot?
A. To put it to the market. B. To solve more scientific problems.
C. To fix the system on other animals. D. To encourage people to learn biology.
15. What can be the best title for the text?
A. Father of Robotic Fly B. Robotic Fly Imitates Real Life Insect
C. Inspiration from Engineering Science D. Harvard Breaks Through in Insect Study
【答案】12. D 13. C 14. B 15. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。这篇文章介绍了哈佛大学工程师们研制出的机器蝇，其灵感源自自然界中的昆虫。机器蝇的成功表明了科学家们可以制造微型飞行器，并提供了一种研究昆虫尺度的飞行力学和控制的新方法。文章强调指出，机器蝇的应用不仅仅局限于仿生学领域，也可以广泛地应用于科学研究和技术开发。整篇文章内容简洁明了，主要介绍了机器蝇的研究、制造、应用和潜在价值。
【12题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第二段中““The added difficulty with such a project is that actually none of those components are off the shelf and so we have to make them all on our own,” he said. (“这样一个项目的额外困难在于，实际上这些组件都没有……的，所以我们必须自己制作它们，”他说。)”可知，这个机器蝇不是由市售的零件组成的，而是由自己制造的零件组装而成的。由此推测，划线词组off the shelf的含义为“现成的”。故选D项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段中“Wood says the success of the project proves that the flying robot with these tiny components can be built and manufactured. (伍德说，该项目的成功证明了具有这些微小部件的飞行机器人是可以建造和制造的)”可知，这个机器蝇的成功表明了科学家们可以制造微型飞行器。故选C项。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“Wood says the design offers a new way to study flight mechanics and control at insect-scale. Yet, the power, sensing and computation technologies on board could have much broader applications. “You can start thinking about using them to answer open scientific questions, you know, to study biology in ways that would be difficult with the animals, but using these robots instead,” he said. “So there are a lot of technologies and open interesting scientific questions that are really what drives us on a day-to-day basis.” (伍德教授表示，这种设计提供了一种在昆虫尺度上研究飞行力学和控制的新途径。然而，机器蝇所搭载的动力、感知和计算技术也具有更广泛的应用前景。他说：“你可以开始思考使用这些技术来解答一些开放性科学问题，你知道，使用这些机器人来研究生物学，在某些情况下比使用动物要困难，但却可以使用这些机器人来代替。”“所以还有很多技术和开放性的、有趣的科学问题，这就是我们日复一日的驱动力。”)”可知，伍德教授希望利用这种机器蝇来解决更多的科学问题，推动科学研究的进展。故选B项。
15题详解】
主旨大意题。整篇文章都描述了机器蝇的制造和应用，从它模仿真实昆虫的行为和外貌开始，讨论了制造过程中遇到的各种困难和解决方法，最终强调了这种技术的潜在价值。由此可知，选项 B. Robotic Fly Imitates Real Life Insect(机器人苍蝇模仿真实的昆虫)适合作本文最佳标题。故选B项。

How can teenagers keep themselves from suffering from loneliness? Here are some suggestions for speeding a recovery from loneliness.
Reach out to others but start small. A smile and a friendly greeting for the student behind you in line at the cafeteria (餐厅) won’t make you best friends. ____16____ It also can make it easier to interact the next time.
Find a safe place to make connections. If going to the dancing party makes you feel like you just don’t belong, try joining a special-interest group. Maybe it’s the drama club or the marching band. ____17____
Find other ways of making connections. Lonely people hunger for friendship. Sometimes feeling accepted and liked comes more easily when you do something for others rather than waiting for them to make you feel better. ____18____ Help a child in reading. Take notes for a disabled classmate. You might be surprised at the connections you make.
____19____ Loneliness is an absence of quality friendship, not of a particular quantity of friends. That’s why it’s important to know how to select a friend.
You get what you expect, so expect the best. If you expect others to be friendly, you will behave in proper ways that encourage people to be friendlier to you. ____20____ But starting the first step of positive expectations can make all the difference.

【16题详解】
根据上文“A smile and a friendly greeting for the student behind you in line at the cafeteria (餐厅) won’t make you best friends.(在自助餐厅排队时，对你后面的学生微笑和友好的问候不会使你成为最好的朋友)”及下文“It also can make it easier to interact the next time.(它还可以使下次互动更容易)”可知，D项But it will make you both feel good.(但这会让你们俩都感觉很好)能够承上启下，与上文形成转折关系，同时引起下文，下文与之形成递进关系。故选D项。
【17题详解】
根据上文“If going to the dancing party makes you feel like you just don’t belong, try joining a special-interest group. Maybe it’s the drama club or the marching band.(如果参加舞会让你觉得格格不入，试着加入一个特殊兴趣小组。也许是戏剧社或军乐队)”可知，应该试着加入一个特殊兴趣小组。由此可知，G项Look for a group that allows you to feel comfortable.(找一个能让你感觉舒服的小组)能够衔接上文，符合语境，其中group是关键词。故选G项。
【18题详解】
根据上文“Sometimes feeling accepted and liked comes more easily when you do something for others rather than waiting for them to make you feel better.(有时候，当你为别人做点什么而不是等着他们让你感觉更好的时候，你会更容易感到被接受和喜欢)”及下文“Help a child in reading. Take notes for a disabled classmate.(帮助孩子阅读。为残疾同学做笔记)”可知，我们可以做一些具体的志愿活动。由此可知，C项So consider becoming a volunteer.(所以考虑成为一名志愿者)能够承上启下，符合语境。故选C项。
【19题详解】
该题为段落小标题。根据下文“Loneliness is an absence of quality friendship, not of a particular quantity of friends. That’s why it’s important to know how to select a friend.(孤独是缺乏高质量的友谊，而不是缺乏一定数量的朋友。这就是为什么知道如何选择朋友是很重要的)”可知，本段讲的是选择朋友的重要性。由此可知，A项Choose the right people.(选择合适的人)适合作本段小标题，符合语境。故选A项。
【20题详解】
根据下文“But starting the first step of positive expectations can make all the difference.(但是，从积极的期望开始迈出的第一步会让一切变得不同)”可知，填空处与下文是一种转折关系，积极对待他人可能很难，但是，第一步就开始积极期望就能让事情有所不同。由此可知，E项It can be hard work to be positive toward others.(对别人保持积极的态度是很困难的)能够衔接下文，符合语境。故选E项。

【36题详解】
考查动词。句意：每个人都抱怨堵车。分析句子结构，句子主语everyone为单数名词， complain为谓语动词，应用第三人称单数形式，再结合句意，谓语为一般现在时。故填 complains。
【37题详解】
考查动词时态。句意：这个城市将被提供移动的道路。分析句子结构，句子主语the city , provide为谓语动词，根据句意“城市被提供什么东西”可知，两者存在被动关系，再结合句意“移动的道路”这个设想的未来的交通产物可知，谓语应该用将来时态。故填will be provided 。
【38题详解】
考查介词。句意：道路的一侧朝一个方向行驶。in one direction为固定短语，意为“朝一个方向”。故填 in。
【39题详解】
考查冠词。句意：任何想去城市另一个地方的人都要踏上移动的“路”，坐在其中一个座位上，直到他到达。根据句意以及空后的名词moving “way”可知，此处为特指“这种可移动的路”为特指概念，所以此处为定冠词the的填入。故填 the 。
【40题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：他没有私家车所带来的烦恼:是否有足够的汽油，轮胎是否正常，停在哪里。分析句子可知，此处为关系代词which引导的非限制性定语从句，先行词the troubles在从句中作brings的宾语。故填which。

【44题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：为了连接各个城市，由原子能驱动的车辆将沿着分为两组车道的高速公路行驶。分析句子结构，will pass 为句子谓语，设空处需填非谓语动词作后置定语，highways 和 divide 为动宾关系，需填过去分词形式。故填 divided 。
【45题详解】

“That would be great!”said Mano and Ali together. Both of them got up smiling, thinking of hundreds of ways to celebrate Father’s Day. Mum went to the kitchen, and Mano and Ali started doing their homework. But soon Ali noticed Mano deep in thought so he asked what the matter was. “Ali, I was thinking that our parents do everything for us and in return they want nothing. Isn’t it bad that we never think about them and are always concerned about our needs?”Mano replied. “Sometimes we are so busy with our lives that we don’t pay proper attention to our parents. We should listen to whatever they say properly and answer them. We must also study hard to get good grades. ”Ali nodded. The next day, all three of them, Mano, Ali and their mum, got busy preparing their surprise celebration for Father’s Day.

【答案】One possible version：
Finally, when Father’s day came, both Ali and Mano came home from school and started decorating the house. Ali quickly cleaned the living room and continued with the decoration, putting up the colourful balloons and presenting the birthday cake. At the same time, Mano took out the family picture. They were about to practice singing the poem when the delicious smell came from the kitchen. Surely it was Mom that prepared the big meal. French toast and chicken porridge, both of which were father’s favourite dishes, were ready. Eventually, everything was settled. Ali and Mano stood beside the door, waiting for their father eagerly. Then Dad came in.
Ali and Mano cried out together, “Happy Father’s Day!” Hearing the words, so glad was Dad that his face lit up. “we have a surprise for you!” added Ali, pointing at the decorations. When he saw the dinner, his eyes widened and twinkled with excitement. He couldn’t help tasting a bit of chick soup, explaining that it was the best dish he had ever had. Mom grinned heartily and exchanged a gentle glance with Ali and Mano. What a beautiful and sweet surprise! The room was filled with happiness.
