• 2．Our bachelor uncle lived with us，who loved hunting and fishing；and it was one of the pleasures of our young life to go fishing with him.
     I remember my first fishing experience as if it happened yesterday.I was very excited when I received that first fishing pole from my uncle's hand，and went fishing with him.It was a still，sweet day of early summer； the leaves seemed greener，the flowers brighter，the birds merrier，than ever before.
     My uncle considerately placed me at the most favorable point.I threw out my line as I had so often seen others，and waited anxiously for a bite，moving the bait（魚(yú)餌）in rapid movement on the surface of the water just like the jumps of a frog.Nothing came of it. "Try again，" said my uncle.Suddenly the bait sank out of sight. "Now for it，" thought I，"here is a fish at last."
     I made a strong pull，and brought up a tangle of weeds.Again and again I cast out my line with aching arms，and drew it back empty. "Try once more，" he said，"we fishermen must have patience to catch a fish." "But remember，boy，" he said，with his big smile，"never say you've caught a fish until it is on dry ground.It's no use showing off anything until it's done."
     How often since I have been reminded of the fish that I did not catch!When hear people boasting of a work as yet undone，I will remember the wise caution of my uncle in that particular instance takes the form of a proverb of universal application："NEVER BOAST（吹噓）OF YOUR FISH BEFORE YOU CATCH HIM."
  
  （1）From the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2，we can infer that

  .
  A．the leaves and the flowers were not so beautiful before.
  B．the birds ate lots of fish and felt far merrier than before.
  C．that day the author was much happier than ever before.
  D．that day the uncle was much happier than ever before.
  （2）What message can we learn from the last two paragraphs？

  
  A．Don't count your chickens before they're hatched（孵化）
  B．Never put off till tomorrow what you can do today.
  C．One false（錯(cuò)誤的）step will make a great difference.
  D．True friends have hearts that beat as one.
  （3）Which of the following can best describe the author's uncle？

  
  A．Strong and brave.
  B．Wise and patient.
  C．Patient and strong.
  D．Lazy and talkative.
  （4）Which of the following can be the best title for the text？

  
  A．A sweet day of summer

• 3．We all love our parents and turn to them when we're in need，but would you like them to hear the conversations you have with your friends in the school playground or lunch queue？Social networking sites have become virtual extensions of the school hallways，so would you add your parents as "friends" and allow them to view your online activities and conversations with friends？
     In the past the generation gap included a technology gap，where children were up to date with the latest technology and parents were left behind，content to continue their day-to-day lives as they always had because they had no need to be tech-savvy.However，more and more parents are beginning to realize just how important social networks are in their lives.This realization has given many parents the motivation to educate themselves about social networking sites.
     These days many people are attracted to social networking sites because they can choose who they have around them；there's also a certain amount of control over privacy that we don't get in real life.Sometimes we feel that privacy is violated（侵犯）when we must accept a "friend" request from a parent or family member.
     It's a difficult choice whether or not to allow a parent to become a part of our online lives.On the one hand we don't want to "reject" their request because that might hurt their feelings or make them feel you have something to hide.On the other hand if you do accept，then you could have a sense of being watched and no longer feel free to comment or communicate the way you did before.
     A recent survey suggested that parents shouldn't take it personally if their child ignores their request："When a teen ignores a parent's friend request，it doesn't necessarily mean that they are hiding something，but it could mean that this is one part of their life where they want to exert their independence."
     Perhaps talking with parents and giving explanations would help soften the blow when you do choose not to add them to your friends list.
  
  （1）Many parents teach themselves social networks because

  .
  A．they are not content with their daily life
  B．they regard social networks important
  C．they are curious to explore new technologies
  D．they want to view their children's online activities
  （2）What might be the reason for teens to reject their parents' request？

  
  A．They can't choose friends around them.
  B．They have nothing to hide.
  C．They don't want to teach their parents.
  D．Their privacy can not be kept if so.
  （3）A recent survey suggested that

  .
  A．teens value their privacy and independence
  B．a(chǎn) teen's rejection means they have something to hide
  C．a(chǎn) teen's rejection means nothing special
  D．independence is everything teens desire
  （4）What is most likely to be talked about next？

  
  A．How to bridge the generation gap （代溝）.
  B．How to make friends on social networks.
  C．How to explain to parents about the rejection.
  D．How to use the social networking sites.

• 4．Building a five-star hotel in the middle of a valuable wilderness（荒野）without damaging the environment might not be easy，but it is far from impossible.The King Pacific Lodge in British Columbia's Great Bear Rainforest shows that if enough care and attention is taken，the task is possible.
     Unlike many other hotel building plans，no trees were cut down and no land was wasted to build it.The Lodge does not have the same location（位置）but sits on a floating boat pulled into the sea bay in May，till September.Those wishing to stay in one of its seventeen rooms must access it by boat or seaplane.Each guest staying at the Lodge is charged 3% tax（稅）on the protection of the natural resources，but is given the chance to see whales and bears.And since these are the main attractions of the area and of the Lodge，the management knows well that in order to stay in business they must make the area untouched.
     In 2000，the Lodge management signed an agreement with the native（本土的）Gitga'at people.Together they work for the benefit of the area.The Lodge knows that the native tribe（部落）is the owners of the land，so it pays the tribe for the use of their land and even supports the native youth and employs the tribe's people.They，in turn，teach the newcomers about the local culture.
     The King Pacific Lodge is one of a growing number of tourism companies that manage to minimize their environmental damage to win the approval（批準(zhǔn)）of the local government where they set up their business.These companies pay more attention to environmental protection and are careful to use natural resources and protect endangered animals.Realizing how destructive tourism can be，they want to avoid the love-it-to-death effect of tourism.
  
  （1）From the passage，we know that the King Pacific Lodge

  .
  A．follows other hotels' building plans.
  B．is less popular among tourists.
  C．is far away from an important wilderness.
  D．has been created after careful consideration.
  （2）Which of the following statements is TRUE？

  
  A．The King Pacific Lodge is in an area without any trees.
  B．The King Pacific Lodge can be moved from place to place.
  C．Guests in the King Pacific Lodge can take part in programs about the protection of nature.
  D．Guests in the King Pacific Lodge have to pay extra money for the boat to get there.
  （3）According to paragraph 3，we learn that some of the native people

  .
  A．want to learn the newcomers' culture.
  B．a(chǎn)re not willing to sell their land.
  C．a(chǎn)re employed by local government to work for the Lodge.
  D．may have the chance to work at the Lodge.
  （4）According to the passage，the tourist industry

  .
  A．will always do harm to the environment.
  B．cares little about the importance of environmentally friendly tourism.
  C．can do less damage to the environment.
  D．a(chǎn)lways has a disagreement with the local government.
