　　It is often necessary to release a fish, that is , set it free after catching, because it is too small, or you just don’t want to take it home to eat. In some cases, releasing fish is a good measure that will help keep fish variety and build their population size. The Department of Game and Inland Fisheries (DGIF) encourages fishermen who practice catch-and-release fishing to use a few simple skills when doing so. The advice provided below will help make sure that the fish you release will survive (存活) to bite again another day.—When catching a fish, play it quickly and keep the fish in the water as much as possible. 

　　Don’t use a net in landing the fish and release it quickly to prevent it from dying.—Hold the fish gently. Do not put your fingers in its eyes. Don’t wipe the scales (鱼鳞) off the  fish because it might cause it to develop a disease and reduce its chance of survival.—Remove your hook (鱼钩) quickly. If the hook is too deep or hooked in the stomach, cut the   line and leave the hook in. The hook left inside will cause no serious problem to the fish.—Take good care of the fish by moving it gently in water . Release the fish when it begins to  struggle and is able to swim.—Do not hold fish in a bucket or some other containers and later decide to release it. If you are  going to release a fish, do so right away.With a little care and by following the suggestions given above, you can give the released fish a better chance of survival.

　　阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A.B.C和D项中，选出最佳选项。

　　A child who has once been pleased with a tale likes, as a rule, to have it retold in almost the same words, but this should not lead parents to treat printed fairy stories as formal texts. It is always much better to tell a story than read it out of a book, and, if a parent can produce what, in the actual situation of the time and the child, is an improvement on the printed text, so much the better.

　　A charge made against fairy tales is that they harm the child by frightening him or making him sad thinking. To prove the latter, one would have to show in a controlled experiment that children who have read fairy stories were more often sorry for cruelty than those who had not. As to fears, there are, I think, some cases of children being dangerously terrified by some fairy story. Often, however, this arises (出现) from the child having heard the story once. Familiarity with the story by repetition turns the pain of fear into the pleasure of a fear faced and mastered.

　　There are also people who object to fairy stories on the grounds that they are not objectively true, that giants, witches, two - headed dragons, magic carpets, etc. do not exist; and that, instead of being fond of the strange side in fairy tales, the child should be taught to learn the reality by studying history. I find such people, I must say so peculiar (奇怪的) that I do not know how to argue with them. If their case were sound, the world should be full of mad men attempting to fly from New York to Philadelphia on a stick or covering a telephone with kisses in the belief that it was their beloved girl -friend.

　　No fairy story ever declared to be a description of the real world and no clever child has ever believed that it was.

　　1. The author considers that a fairy story is more effective when it is ______.

　　A. repeated without any change    

　　B. treated as a joke

　　C. made some changes by the parent  

　　D. set in the present

　　答案解析：答案为C。本题为细节推理题。 由第一段的 “It is always much better to tell a story than read it out of a book, and, if a parent can produce what, in the actual situation of the time and the child, is an improvement on the printed text, so much the better.”可知，作者认为如果父母讲神话故事结合小孩所在的真实时间情况，而不仅仅是从故事书上读故事，效果更好。故答案为C，即父母如果对神话故事作一些变化，更有效。解答此题要注意同一意思的不同表达。

　　2. According to the passage, great fear can take place in a child when the story is _______.

　　A. in a realistic setting   

　　B. heard for the first time

　　C. repeated too often   

　　D. told in a different way

　　答案解析：答案为B。本题为细节题。由第二段 “As to fears, there are, I think, some cases of children being dangerously terrified by some fairy story. Often, however, this arises from the child having heard the story once.”可知，作者认为如果故事只讲了一遍，小孩会产生恐惧感。故答案为B。

　　3.The advantage claimed (提出) for repeating fairy stories to young children is that it ____.

　　A. makes them less fearful

　　B. develops their power of memory

　　C. makes them believe there is nothing to be afraid of

　　D. encourages them not to have strange beliefs

　　答案解析：答案为A。本题为细节推理题。由第二段的最后一句话 “Familiarity with the story by repetition turns the pain of fear into the pleasure of a fear faced and mastered.”可知，作者认为不断的重复故事可以让小孩变得熟悉(familiarity)故事, 这样恐惧的痛苦（pain of fear）

　　就会变成恐惧的快乐（pleasure of a fear），故答案为A。B，D在文章中未提及；C选项 “让小孩相信没有什么可害怕的” 意思与此不符，且此答案显得绝对。

　　4. The author’s mention of sticks and telephones is meant to suggest that ______.

　　A. fairy stories are still being made up

　　B. there is some misunderstanding about fairy tales

　　C. people try to modernize old fairy stories

　　D. there is more concern for children's fears nowadays

　　答案解析：答案为B。本题为推断题。从第三段 “…If their case were sound, the world should be full of mad men attempting to fly from New York to Philadelphia on a stick or covering a telephone with kisses in the belief that it was their beloved girl -friend.” 和第四段 “No fairy story ever declared to be a description of the real world and no clever child has ever believed that it was.” 可知，作者的观点是神话故事不是对现实世界的描述，没有哪个聪明的小孩相信它们是真的。故答案为B，作者用sticks and telephones 来证明一些人对神话故事存在误解。

　　5. One of the reasons why some people are not in favor of fairy tales is that _______.

　　A. they are full of imagination

　　B. they just make up the stories which are far from the truth

　　C. they are not interesting

　　D. they make teachers of history difficult to teach

　　答案解析：答案为B。本题为细节题。从第三段的首句 “There are also people who object to fairy stories on the grounds that they are not objectively true, that giants, witches, two - headed

　　dragons, magic carpets, etc. do not exist…”可知，也有人反对神话故事是因为它们不是客观真实的，故答案为B。解答此题同样要注意同义句的转换， “not in favor of”与object to 同义；”not objectively true” 与 “far from the truth”同义。

　　阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A.B.C和D项中，选出最佳选项。

　　“Everybody loves a bargain.” One person's useless, ugly, or broken object can be another person's bargain. That is why so many Americans do not throw things away. They put them outside their houses. They put on a “For Sale” sign. And, as simple as that, they have a yard sale.

　　The sellers put a paid announcement(付费通告)in a local newspaper. It tells when and where the yard sale will take place. morning, all the things to be sold are carried out of the house. Then they sit all day in the sunlight----like tired guests at a party----waiting for someone to take them home.

　　Just about anything can be sold at a yard sale. Sometimes, there are more clothes than anything else. Cooking equipment is also popular. So are old toys, tools, books, tables and chairs. Then there are objects called “white elephants”. A white elephant is something you think is extremely ugly or useless. It may be an electric light shaped like a fish. You feel a sharp pain whenever you look at it. To someone else, however, it might be a thing of beauty and joy.

　　Some people go to yard sales to find a special thing that they collect. It may be old toy trains, for example, or painting of dogs. Experts say more Americans are collecting old things now than ever before. Most people who go to yard sales, however, are not looking for anything special. They might buy an object simply because it costs so little. They enjoy negotiating(谈判) over prices, even if they really do not need the object. Later, they may hold their own yard to sell all the things they have bought.

　　6. What kind of things will go to a yard sale?

　　A. Cheap and ugly things.

　　B. Things people no longer use.

　　A. It may not be held when the weather is very cold.

　　B. It can last for a whole day.

　　C. It is usually held with a party.

　　D. It is held outdoors.

　　A. people may find something of great value on a yard sale

　　B. yard sales only attract those who have a low income

　　C. things on a yard sale can cost people a lot

　　D. most people don’t want to go to yard sales.
