解析
这是一篇夹叙夹议的记叙文。通过与父亲一起钓鱼的一次亲身经历，小男孩受到了深刻的道德教育，从而影响了他的一生。道德是简单的对和错的问题，但要付诸行动却很难。尤其是在无人知晓的情况下，我们是否会自觉以道德的标准来衡量我们的言行呢？人应当以“诚实为本，道德至上”。
1．B 由下文可知是鲈鱼季节开放的前。
2．B 他是去钓鱼而非其它。
3．A 当鱼杆向下弯的时候，他知道线的另一端一定钓到了一条大鱼。
4．A 在线的另一端。on the one hand, on the other hand 意为“一方面……；另一方面……” at the either side “在任何一方”。
5．C 小男孩钓鱼技巧纯熟，父亲看了眼神充满赞赏。
6．D 被钓着的鱼当然是筋疲力尽。
7．B 但他钓着的是一条鲈鱼。此处用but 表示转折，因为鲈鱼是禁止垂钓。
8．C “你得把它放回去，孩子，”他说道。此处指放回去。A、B、D项均不相符。
9．A even though 表示让步“即使”；其句意为：即使没有人看到他们，更无从得知他们何时钓到了鱼。
10．A tell“分辨；辨别”常与can, could, be able to 连用。
11．C 从父亲不可动摇的语气中，他知道这个决定没有商量余地。即“固定了的”。
12．C the black water 意为“漆黑的水中”。其句意为“他慢慢地将鱼钩从大鲈鱼的唇上取下，然后蹲下将鱼放回水中”。他在湖上钓鱼，不可能把鱼放回到河流或海里，更不是放入容器里。
13．B 鱼儿摆动着它强健的身躯，消失在水中。fled 逃跑；floated漂浮；swim游。
14．B 他猜得没错。此处肯定上文所说的事“他可能再也看不到这么大的鱼了”
15．A land 意为“将鱼钓上岸”。saw指表示看见；cast洒网；threw投，掷。
16．D the same fish指被他自己钓着的那条鱼。但每次他面临道德难题而举棋不定的时候，他的眼前总是浮现出那条鱼。
17．C 此处是强调句型。意为：要付诸行动却很难。
18．B do right 做得对、得当。do wrong做得不对；do good做好事；do harm危害。此句意为“在没人瞧见的时候，我们是否仍始终如一，一丝不苟”
19．A 由下文“For we would have learned the truth.”可知此处是“被教给”。意为：在我们还小的时候，如果有人要我们把鱼放回去，我们会这样做
20．B 此处是形容词作状语，表示状态。不能用副词。意为：正确的决定在我们的记忆里变得清新。 |

A lot of us lose life’s tough battles by starting a frontal(正面的) attack—when a touch of humor might well enable us to win. Consider the case of a young friend of mine, who hit a traffic jam on his way to work shortly after receiving an ultimatum(最后通牒) about being late on the job. Although there was a good reason for Sam’s a being late—serious illness at home—he decided that this by-now-familiar excuse wouldn’t work any longer. His supervisor was probably already pacing up and down preparing a dismissal speech.
Yes, the boss was, Sam entered the office at 9:35. The place was as quiet as a locker room(更衣室); everyone was hard at work. Sam’s supervisor came up to him. Suddenly, Sam forced a grin and stretched out his hand. “How do you do!” he said. “I’m Sam Maynard. I’m applying for a job. Which, I understand, became available just 35 minutes ago. Does the early bird get the worm?”
The room exploded in laughter. The supervisor clamped off a smile and walked back to his office. Sam Maynard had saved his job—with the only tool that could win, a laugh.
Humor is a most effective, yet frequently neglected(忽略), means of handling the difficult situations in our lives. It can be used for patching up differences, apologizing, saying “no”, criticizing, getting the other fellow to do what you want without his losing face. For some jobs, it’s the only tool that can succeed. It is a way to discuss subjects so sensitive that serious dialog may start a quarrel. For example, many believe that comedians(喜剧演员) on television are doing more today for racial and religious tolerance(忍受力) than people in any other forum.
小题1:Why was Sam late for his job?| A．Because he was ill. | | B．Because he got up late. | | C．Because he was caught in a traffic jam. | | D．He was busy applying for a new job. |
小题2:The main idea of this passage is ________. | A．Sam Maynard saved his job with humor | | B．humor is important in our lives | | C．early bird gets the worm | | D．humor can solve racial discriminations |
小题3:The phrase “clamped off” in Paragraph 3 means ________.| A．tried to hold back | B．tried to set | C．charged | D．gave out |
小题4:Which of the following statements can we infer from the passage?| A．Many lose life’s battles for they are lacking in a sense of humor. | | B．It wasn’t the first time that Sam came late for his work. | | C．Sam was supposed to come to his office at 8:30. | | D．Humor is the most effective way of solving problems. |

Twenty years ago, I drove a taxi for a living. One night I went to pick up a passenger at 2:30 AM. When I arrived to collect, I found the building was dark except for a single light in a ground floor window.
I walked to the door and knocked, “Just a minute,” answered a weak, elderly voice.
After a long pause, the door opened. A small woman in her eighties stood before me. By her side was a small suitcase.
I took the suitcase to the car, and then returned to help the woman. She took my arm and we walked slowly toward the car.
She kept thanking me for my kindness. “It’s nothing,” I told her. “I just try to treat my passengers the way I would want my mother treated.”
“Oh, you’re such a good man.” She said. When we got into the taxi, she gave me an address, and then asked, “Could you drive through downtown?”
“It’s not the shortest way,” I answered quickly.
“Oh, I’m in no hurry,” she said. “I’m on my way to a hospice(临终医院). I don’t have any family left. The doctor says I don’t have very long.”
I quietly reached over and shut off the meter(计价器).
For the next two hours, we drove through the city. She showed me the building where she had once worked, the neighborhood where she had lived, and the furniture shop that had once been a ballroom where she had gone dancing as a girl.
Sometimes she’d ask me to slow down in front of a particular building and would sit staring into the darkness, saying nothing.
At dawn, she suddenly said,” I’m tired. Let’s go now.”
We drove in silence to the address she had given me.
“How much do I owe you?” she asked.
“Nothing.” I said.
“You have to make a living,” she answered. “Oh, there are other passengers,” I answered.
Almost without thinking, I bent and gave her a hug. She held onto e tightly. Our hug ended with her remark, “You gave an old woman a little moment of joy.”
小题1:The old woman chose to ride through the city in order to ______.| A．show she was familiar with the city | B．see some places for the last time | | C．let the driver earn more money | D．reach the destination on time |
小题2:The taxi driver did not charge the old woman because he ______.| A．wanted to do her a favor | B．shut off the meter by mistake | | C．had received her payment in advance | D．was in a hurry to take other passengers |
小题3:What can we learn from the story?| A．Giving is always a pleasure. | B．People should respect each other. | | C．An act of kindness can bring people great joy. | | D．People should learn to appreciate others’ concern. |
