　　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.

　　1. People sometimes set a fish free after catching it because they _________    A. don’t want it to die

　　Taiwan police cannot decide whether to treat it as an extremely clever act of stealing or an even cleverer cheat (诈骗). Either way, it could be the perfect crime (犯罪), because the criminals are birds-horning pigeons!

　　There have been at least four such pigeon pick-ups in Changwa. What at first seemed like the work of a clever stay-at-home car thief, however, may in fact be the work of an even lazier and more inventive criminal mind-one that avoids not only collecting money but going out to steal the car in the first place. Police officer Chen says that the criminal probably has played a double trick: he gets money for things he cannot possibly return. Instead of stealing cars, he lets someone else do it and then waits for the car-owner to place an ad in the newspaper asking for help.

　　The theory is supported by the fact that, so far, none of the stolen cars have been returned. Also, the amount of money demanded-under 3,000 Taiwanese dollars-seems too little for a car worth many times more.

　　Demands for pigeon-delivered money stopped as soon as the press reported the story. And even if they start again, Chen holds little hope of catching the criminal. “We have more important things to do,” he said.

　　. After the car owner received a phone call, he __________.

　　A. went to a certain pigeon and put some money in the bag it carried

　　B. gave the money to the thief and had his car back in a park

　　C. sent some money to the thief by mail

　　D. told the press about it

　　. The “lazier and more inventive” criminal refers to _________.

　　A. the car thief who stays at home

　　B. one of those who put the ads in the paper

　　C. one of the policemen in Changwa

　　D. the owner of the pigeons

　　. The writer mentions the fact that “none of the stolen cars have been returned” to show ________.

　　A. how easily people get fooled by criminals

　　B. what Chen thinks might be correct

　　C. the thief is extremely clever

　　D. the money paid is too little

　　. The underlined word “they” in the last paragraph refers to __________.

　　A. criminals        B. pigeons

　　C. the stolen cars   D. demands for money

　　3. We may infer from the text that the criminal knows how to reach the car owners because .

　　A. he reads the ads in the newspaper 

　　B. he lives in the same neighborhood

　　C. he has seen the car owners in the park

　　D. he has trained the pigeons to follow them

　　【2017广东省深圳高级中学】C

　　Last August, Joe and Mary Mahoney began looking at colleges for their 17-year-old daughter, Maureen. With a checklist of criteria in hand, the Dallas family looked around the country visiting half a dozen schools. They sought a university that offered the teenager’s intended major, one located near a large city, and a campus where their daughter would be safe.

　　“The safety issue is a big one,” says Joe Mahoney, who quickly discovered he wasn’t alone in his worries. On campus tours other parents voiced similar concerns, and the same question was always asked: what about crime? But when college officials always gave the same answer-“That’s not a problem here,” Mahoney began to feel uneasy.

　　“No crime whatsoever?” comments Mahoney today. “I just don’t buy it. ” Nor should he: in 1999 the U. S. Department of Education had reports of nearly 400,000 serious crimes on or around our campuses. “Parents need to understand that times have changed since they went to college,” says David Nichols, author of Creating a Safe Campus. “Campus crime mirrors the rest of the nation. ”

　　But getting accurate information isn’t easy. Colleges must report crime statistics by law, but some hold back for fear of bad publicity, leaving the honest ones looking dangerous. “The truth may not always be obvious,” warns S. Daniel Carter of Security on Campus, Inc, the nation’s leading campus safety watchdog group.

　　To help concerned parents, Carter promised to visit campuses and talk to experts around the country to find out major crime issues and effective solutions.

　　3. The Mahoneys visited quite a few colleges last August _________.

　　A. to express the opinions of many parents

　　B. to choose a right one for their daughter

　　C. to check the cost of college education

　　D. to find a right one near a large city

　　3. It is often difficult to get correct information on campus crime because some colleges __________.

　　A. receive too many visitors

　　B. mirror the rest of the nation

　　C. hide the truth of campus crime

　　D. have too many watchdog groups

　　3. The underlined word “buy” in the third paragraph means __________.

　　A. mind         B. admitC. believe     

　　D. expect

　　3. We learn from the text that “the honest ones” in the fourth paragraph most probably refers to colleges ___________.

　　A. that are protected by campus security

　　B. that report campus crime by law

　　C. that are free from campus crime

　　D. that enjoy very good publicity

　　. What is the text mainly about?

　　A. Exact campus crime statistics.

　　B. Crimes on or around campuses.

　　C. Effective solutions to campus crime.

　　D. Concerns about kids’ campus safety.36—40 BCCBD

　　What does it mean to say that we live in a world of persuasion? It means that we live among competing interests. Your roommate’s need to study for an exam may take priority (优先) over pizza. Your instructor may have good reasons not to change your grade. And the object of your romantic/interest may have other choices.

　　In such a world, persuasion is the art of getting others to give fair and favorable consideration to our points of view. When we persuade, we want to influence how others believe and behave. We may not always prevail — other points of view may be more persuasive, depending on the listener, the situation, and the merit of the case. But when we practice the art of persuasion, we try to ensure that our position receives the attention it deserves.

　　Some people, however, object to the very idea of persuasion. They may regard it as an unwelcome interruption into their lives. Just the opposite, we believe that persuasion is unavoidable — to live is to persuade. Persuasion may be ethical (合乎道义的) or unethical, selfless or selfish, inspiring or degrading. Persuaders may enlighten our mind or prey on our vulnerability. Ethical persuasion, however, calls on sound reasoning and is sensitive to the feelings and needs of listeners. Such persuasion can help us apply the wisdom of the past to the decisions we now must make. Therefore, the most basic part of education is learning to resist the one kind of persuasion and to encourage and practice the other.

　　Beyond its personal importance to us, persuasion is necessary to society. The right to persuade and be persuaded is the bedrock of the American political system, guaranteed by the First Amendment to the Constitution (美国宪法).

　　10. According to the passage, persuasion means ________.

　　A. changing others’ points of view

　　B. exercising power over other people

　　C. getting other people to consider your point of view

　　D. getting people to agree with you and do what you want

　　11. The underlined word in the second paragraph “prevail” means________.

　　A. win

　　B. fail

　　C. speak

　　D. listen

　　12. The passage states that some people object to persuasion because they think it is ________.

　　A. a danger to society

　　B. difficult to do well

　　C. unwelcome behavior

　　D. never successful

　　13. The passage mainly discusses ________.

　　A. how people persuade

　　B. why people persuade

　　C. that persuasion is both good and bad

　　D. that persuasion is important and it is all around us

　　【答案与解析】

　　10. C 细节题。将第二段中persuasion is the art of getting others to give fair and favorable consideration to our points of view与各选项进行比较可知。

　　11. A 词义题。由破折号后面的句子other points of view may be more persuasive可知，我们不一定占上风，故选A。

　　12. C 细节题。由第三段中第一二句Some people…into their lives可知。

　　13. D 主旨题。根据第一段对we live in a world of persuasion的理解，第三段中we believe that persuasion is unavoidable-to live is to persuade 及最后一段中persuasion is necessary to society与各选项进行比较可确定选D。
