　　Once there was an 11-year-old boy who went fishing with his father in the middle of a New Hampshire lake．On the day before bass(巴斯魚)season opened, they were fishing early in the evening, catching other fish with worms．Then the boy tied on a small silver lure(魚餌)and put it into the lake．Suddenly he felt that 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 p.m.－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 were in sight 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．

閱讀下面短文，從每題所給的四個選項（A，B，C和D）中選出最佳選項。

If you have made an agreement to go out to eat with someone, you should be clear who is paying. If the other suggests you have lunch with him or her, you might simply say something like this:“I'm afraid it'll have to be some place inexpensive as I have very little money.”The other person may say,“OK, I'll meet you at McDonald's.”This means it is agreed that each person pays for his own meal, i. e. that you “go Dutch”. If the person says,“Oh, no. I'll take you to lunch in a little restaurant I like very much,”it means that the person wants to pay the bill for both of you. If you feel friendly towards this person, there's no reason why you should not accept this invitation by simply saying “Thank you. That would be very nice.”If a person invites you to his or her home for a meal, it's understood that person is paying. If you invite someone to your home, it's understood that you are buying the food. If you want to invite someone out for lunch, you must also make yourself clear by saying, perhaps,“I'd like to take you to lunch tomorrow at the Hostess Inn Coffee Shop”(meaning you plan to buy the food) or“l(fā)et's have lunch together tomorrow at Burger King. It's on me.”American women used to expect men to pay for all meals, but today most women will pay for themselves. However, you should always make your position clear. Being clear is the polite thing to do. It is lack of clarity (明了) that causes loss of face in this situation.

1．According to the passage, if someone asks you to go out to eat, ________.

[　　]

A．it shows he wants to pay for you

B．it doesn't necessarily meant that he wants to pay for you

C．you should ask him to go out to eat next time

D．you should refuse him if you don't like him

2．The underlined part“go Dutch”means ________.

[　　]

A．each paying for himself

B．buying the food at a store

C．paying for the two of you

D．going to some inexpensive place

3．Which of the following is true according to the passage?

[　　]

A．Men are expected to pay for women when they are eating out.

B．One should accept another person's invitation if he isn't one's good friend.

C．“It's on me.”means“I'll pay for the meal.”

D．If you are invited to someone's house for a meal, you should bring some gifts.

3．In order not to lose face, ________.

[　　]

A．one should try to pay for others

B．one should not eat out without carrying a lot of money

C．one shouldn't let a woman pay for him

D．one should make oneself clear and understood

閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的四個選項中選出最佳選項。

　　Every animals is a living radiator (散熱器)--heat formed in its cells and given off through its skin. Warm blooded animals keep a normal temperature by continuously replacing lost surface heat: smaller animals, which have more skin for every ounce of body weight, must produce heat faster than bigger ones. Because smaller animals burn fuels faster, scientists say they live faster. The speed at which an animal lives is determined by measuring the rate at which it uses oxygen. A chicken, for example, uses one-half cubic centimeters of oxygen every hour for each gram it weighs. The tiny shrew-mouse used four cubic centimeters of oxygen every hour for each gram it weighs. Because it uses oxygen eight times as fast, it is said that the shrew-mouse is living eight times as fast as the chicken. The smallest of the warm-blooded animals, the humming-bird, lives a hundred times as fast as an elephant. There is a limit to how small a warm-blooded animal can be. A mammal or bird that weighs only two and a half grams would starve to death. It would burn up its food too rapidly and would not he able to eat fast enough to supply itself more fuel.

1．The passage says that every animal is a living radiator because it _____.

[　　]

A．produces heat in its body cells

B．burns fuel to produce heat

C．sends out heat through its skin

D．takes in oxygen for burning fuel

2．Small animals are said to live faster than big ones because they _____.

[　　]

A．have more skin for their weight

B．replace lost heat faster

C．burn fuel faster than big ones

D．keep a higher body temperature

3．The amount of oxygen an animal uses depends on _____.

[　　]

A．the heat the body produces

B．the food it eats

C．its size and shape

D．the length of time it lives

4．According to the passage, which of the following inferences is possibly right?

[　　]

A．There is no limit as to how large a warm-blooded animal can be.

B．The humming-bird lives faster than any other warm-blooded animals.

C．Small animals have less skin for their body weight than large ones.

D．The humming-bird is the smallest of the warm-blooded animals.

III. 閱讀理解
閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的A、B、C、D選項中，選出最佳選項。
I’ve written 14 movies. My characters smoke in many of them, and they look cool and glamorous doing it. Smoking was an integral（必需的） part of many of my screenplays because I was a heavy smoker. It was part of a bad-boy image I’d cultivated for a long time— smoking, drinking, partying, rock ’n’ roll.
Smoking, I once believed, was every person’s right. The second-hand smoke was non-existent problem invented by professional do-gooders. I put all these views into my plays.
Remembering all this, I find it hard to forgive myself. I have been an accomplice (幫兇) to the murders of untold numbers of human beings. I am admitting this only because I have made a deal with God. Spare me, I said, and I will try to stop others from committing the same crimes I did.
Eighteen months ago I was diagnosed with throat cancer, the result of a lifetime of smoking. I am alive but disabled. Much of my larynx (喉) is gone. I have some difficulty speaking; others have some difficulty understanding me.
I haven’t smoked or drunk for 18 months now, though I still take it day by day and pray for help. I believe in prayer and exercise. I have walked five miles a day for a year, without missing even one day. Quitting smoking and drinking has taught me the hardest lesson I’ve ever learned about my own weakness; it has also given me the greatest affection and empathy(同感) for those still addicted.
I don’t think smoking is every person’s right anymore. I think smoking should be as illegal as heroin. I’m no longer such a bad boy. I go to church on Sunday. I’m desperate to see my four boys grow up. I want to do everything I can to undo the damage I have done with my own big-screen words and images.
Screen writers know, too, that some movie stars are more likely to play a part if they can smoke —because they are so addicted to smoking that they have difficulty stopping even during the shooting of a scene.
My hands are bloody; so are Hollywood’s. My cancer has caused me to attempt to cleanse me. I don’t wish my fate upon anyone in Hollywood, but I beg that Hollywood should stop putting it upon millions of others.
1. The main idea of this passage probably is _________.
A. the writer is ashamed of the bad effects his screenplays have had on human beings
B. the writer’s smoking experience nearly killed himself
C. the bad effects that Hollywood screenplay have brought to children
D. the determination of the writer to overcome his illness
2. How do you think the writer has realized his mistake?
A. So many people have found the habit of smoking due to his plays.
B. His plays have brought great harm to teenagers.
C. He himself suffered greatly from smoking.
D. His screenplays have been doing more and more harm to human beings.
3. What is the writer determined to do in future?
A. He has made up his mind to give up smoking forever.
B. He will try his best to prevent others from writing screen plays encouraging smoking.
C. He will try his best to bring up his four children.
D. He has decided to write his screenplays without smoking scenes.
4. It can be inferred from the passage that _______.
A. the writer will soon be recovered from his illness thanks to his exercise
B. the writer will soon die because of his deadly disease
C. smoking will be got rid of in all Hollywood films
D. smoking in Hollywood films is still doing great harm to human beings
