An old man was fishing by a river. A child was watching him. The old man was really good at fishing and it didn’t take him much time to catch a basket of fish. The old man saw that the child was cute, and he wanted to give her the 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 replied,“I want the fishing rod(竿) in your hands.” The old man asked, “Why do you want the rod?”

“It won’t take long to eat up all the fish in the basket. But if I have the fishing rod, I can go fishing by myself and I won’t be afraid of not having any fish to eat.” the girl answered.

I think you will certainly say that the child is very smart. Wrong! If she doesn’t know how to fish, she can’t have fish to eat, even though she has the fishing rod. It’s useless only having a fishing rod. Fishing skills are the most important, not the fishing rod.

Too many people think that if they have a “fishing rod”, they will no longer fear the difficulties in life. They are just like the child, who thought that if she had a fishing rod, she would have the fish to eat.

1.What was the child doing when the old man was fishing?

A. She was talking with him.

B. She was playing by the river.

C. She was watching the old man.

D. She was helping the old man.

2.Where did the old man put the fish?

A. In a basket. B. In a bag.

C. In a glass. D. In a box.

3.Why did the child refuse to get the fish?

A. Because she wanted to get the old man’s fishing rod.

B. Because the fish was not enough.

C. Because she didn’t like eating fish.

D. Because the fish was too small.

4.The writer thinks the child is__________.

A. hard-working B. lazy

C. clever D. silly

5.The story mainly tells us_______.

A. the “fishing rod” is harder to get than “fishing skills”.

B. if we have a “fishing rod”, we’ll have a lot of fish to eat.

C. if we have a “fishing rod”, we won’t have to fear anything

5.D

【解析】

试题分析:一个孩子在看一位老人钓鱼,老人想把钓到的鱼送给那个孩子,但她不要鱼却想要老人的鱼竿。她认为只要有了鱼竿,以后就不用发愁没有鱼吃了。但是如果不会钓鱼,鱼竿只是一种摆设。在现实生活中,想在社会上立足,就必须拥有一技之长。

1.An old man was fishing by a river. A child was watching him.”可知,那个孩子在看着那个钓鱼的老人,故选C。

2.it didn’t take him much time to catch a basket of fish”可知,老人把钓到的鱼放在一个篮子里,故选A。

3.The child replied,“I want the fishing rod(竿) in your hands.””可知,那个孩子想要老人的鱼竿,故选A。

4.I think you will certainly say that the child is very smart. Wrong! ...Fishing skills are the most important, not the fishing rod.”可知,作者不认为那个孩子很聪明,因为如果不会钓鱼,即使有了鱼竿也钓不到鱼,作者认为钓鱼的技能才是最重要的,故选D。

5.Fishing skills are the most important, not the fishing rod.”和最后一段的“Too many people think that if they have a “fishing rod”, they will no longer fear the difficulties in life”可知,作者认为最重要的是钓鱼的技能而非鱼竿,这个道理也适用于日常生活,有很多人只是想得到“鱼竿”,他们以为有了“鱼竿”就不用害怕遇到的困难了,但只有掌握一技之长,才能在社会上立足,故选D。
