第一节 阅读下列短文,然后从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中,选出最佳选项,并在答题纸上将该项涂黑。(共15小题;每小题2分,满分30分)
A
An old man was fishing on the bank of a river. A child came to see him fishing. The old man was really good at fishing and it didn’t take long for him to catch a full basket of fish. The old man saw that the child was very cute, and he wanted to give her a whole basket of fish. But the child shook her head. The old man was surprised and asked, “Why don’t you want the fish ”
The child answered, “I want the fishing rod(竿)in your hands.”
The old man asked, “Why do you want the rod ”
“It doesn’t take long to eat all the fish in a basket. But if I have the fishing rod, I can go fishing by myself and I won’t be afraid of not having any more fish to eat.”
I think you will certainly say that the child is very smart. Wrong! If she doesn’t know how to fish, she can not have fish to eat, even though she has the fishing rod. It’s useless to only have a fishing rod. Fishing skills are the most important, not the fishing rod.
Too many people think that if they have a“fishing rod”in their life, they will no longer fear(害怕)the wind and rain. They are just like the child, who thought that if she had a fishing rod, she would have fish to eat.
36. Why did the child refuse(拒绝)the fish the old man gave her
A. Because she didn’t like fish.
B. Because she wanted his fishing rod.
C. Because the old man had few fish.
D. Because she wanted to learn fishing skills.
37. The writer thought the child was __________ after she explained why she didn’t want the fish.
A. smart B. hard-working C. silly(傻的) D. creative(有创造力的)
38. The article mainly tell us __________.
A. if you have a “fishing rod” in your life, you won’t be afraid of anything
B. if you have a fishing rod, you’ll have a lot of fish to eat
C. “fishing skills” are more important than “the fishing rod” in life
D. “the fishing rod” is more important than the fish that people catch
39. What is the best title for the article
A. The Fishing Rod B. The Fishing Man
C. The Fishing Girl D. A Whole Basket of Fish
B

Shared life has become part of the lives of the old people in some communities(社区)in Beijing in recent years.
“The shared kitchen appeared in the community service center for the old in Shunyi several years ago,” said Zhang Mei, a young woman heading a volunteer group.
She set up the kitchen after she and her workmates found that the old people were sometimes hungry when they came to the service center to have a rest or take part in some activities.
Each person can bring his or her own cooking tools, fresh ingredients(原料)and good recipes(食谱)to the kitchen. It is open from 7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.
“I brought my oven and noodle press(压面机)to the kitchen for two reasons. Firstly, I have some more at home, and I don’t want to leave them unused. Secondly, these can make our cooking much easier. At times, we make biscuits and they turn out to be very tasty,” said 64-year-old Guo Qiuling.
Mrs. Wang, a 70-year-old woman, has a special deep feeling for the kitchen. In her eyes, it is more than a place where she can have something to eat. “Last year, my husband died. That made me feel sad and lonely for a long time. I’m glad to have such a place to allow me to communicate with others,” said Wang.
The kitchen is to improve the communication among the old and help them lead a happier life.

C. To show the shared kitchen means a lot to her.
D. To advise us to go to the shared kitchen to talk with her.

In the world full of games, apps and funny videos, people spend less and less time on things. Research has shown that on average(平均来看), people spend less than one minute on one work of art.

In their opinion, when people visit a museum with lots of works of art, they feel like they must see everything in the museum. As one expert said, “You can’t really see a painting as you’re walking by it.”

C. Visitors don’t have much time to enjoy too many works of art.
D. It’s easy for visitors to spend more time on one work of art.
50. What’s the main idea of this passage
A. Fewer and fewer people like to visit museums.
B. People have different opinions about museums.
