sunlight than in the shade. Yet, fish don39。t have any eyelids (眼皮) and the sun hurts their eyes. The more I understood fish, the more I became effective at finding and catching them. When I grew up and entered the business world, I remember hearing my first boss say, We all need to think like sales people. But it didn39。t pletely make sense. My dad never once said, If you want to catch a fish you need to think like a fisherman. What he said was, You need to think like a fish. Years later, with great efforts to promote longterm services to people much older and richer than me, I gradually learned what we all need is to think more like customers. It is not an easy job.

But the only thing that wasn39。t very fun about it was that he could catch many fish while I couldn39。t catch anything. I usually got pretty upset and kept asking him why.” 當(dāng)我九歲的時(shí)候,我喜歡和我爸爸一起去釣魚(yú)。但唯一不好玩的是,他能釣到很多魚(yú),而我卻什么也抓不到。我通常很沮喪,不停地問(wèn)他為什么??芍揖趩适且?yàn)槲易ゲ坏紧~(yú),故選A。 (2)考查推理判斷。第二段講述的是隨著我慢慢長(zhǎng)大,我理解了父親的話,于是我買(mǎi)了很多關(guān)于魚(yú)的書(shū)和參加關(guān)于魚(yú)的俱樂(lè)部和會(huì)議去了解魚(yú)的特點(diǎn)及習(xí)性,可推斷作者的父親的話的含義就是要想抓到魚(yú)就應(yīng)該多研究魚(yú),了解魚(yú),故選D。 (3)考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第二段中的“That is why fish prefer shallow water to deep water because the former is warmer. Besides, water is usually warmer in direct sunlight than in the shade. Yet, fish don39。t have any eyelids (眼皮) and the sun hurts their eyes.” 這就是為什么魚(yú)喜歡淺水而不是深水,因?yàn)榍罢弑容^溫暖。此外,在陽(yáng)光直射下,水通常比在陰涼處溫暖。然而,魚(yú)沒(méi)有任何眼皮和太陽(yáng)傷害他們的眼睛。根據(jù)作者對(duì)魚(yú)的研究,可知在水邊樹(shù)下的淺水中更容易找到魚(yú),故選D。 (4)考查推理判斷。根據(jù)最后一段中的“ My dad never once said, ‘If you want to catch a fish you need to think like a fisherman.’ What he said was, ‘You need to think like a fish.” Years later, with great efforts to promote longterm services to people much older and richer than me, I gradually learned what we all need is to think more like customers.’” 我爸爸從來(lái)沒(méi)有說(shuō)過(guò),“如果你想釣一條魚(yú),你需要像漁夫一樣思考。”他說(shuō),“你需要像魚(yú)一樣思考?!睅啄旰?,努力為比我年長(zhǎng)和富有得多的人推廣長(zhǎng)期服務(wù),我逐漸了解到我們需要的是像顧客那樣去思考。由此可知,父親的話對(duì)我后來(lái)的銷(xiāo)售工作有著很大的影響,因此推斷作者父親釣魚(yú)的建議對(duì)作者很有啟發(fā),故選B。 (5)考查推理判斷。本文主要講述作者小時(shí)候同父親釣魚(yú),作者父親的關(guān)于釣魚(yú)的建議給了作者在釣魚(yú),尤其是后來(lái)的銷(xiāo)售工作中的一些啟示。作者寫(xiě)釣魚(yú)主要也是想表達(dá)作者父親的建議對(duì)作者后來(lái)銷(xiāo)售工作的啟發(fā),因此可推斷這篇文章可能來(lái)自關(guān)于銷(xiāo)售的書(shū),故選B。 【點(diǎn)評(píng)】本題考點(diǎn)涉及細(xì)節(jié)理解和推理判斷兩個(gè)題型的考查,是一篇人生感悟類(lèi)閱讀,考生需要準(zhǔn)確捕捉細(xì)節(jié)信息,并根據(jù)上下文進(jìn)行邏輯推理,從而選出正確答案。8.閱讀理解 The associates I hired in my bicycle and lawn mower shop like myself were never perfect。 however, they were excellent. Working with them as they improved taught me new ways to show forgiveness, understanding, and patience. One day the placement officer asked me to interview a young man who was having trouble finding a job. He told me that David was a little shy, did not talk much and was afraid to go on with interviews. He requested that I give David an interview just for practice. He plainly told David that I had no positions open at the time and the interview was just for practice. When David came in for the interview, he hardly said a word. I told him what we did at the bicycle shop and showed him around. I told David to keep showing up because the number one thing an employer wanted in an associate was dependability. David was very quiet (he was evaluated as a slow learner in school).Every ten days or so, for weeks after the interview, David walked into the bicycle shop and stood by the front door. He never said a word, just stood by the door. One day, shortly before Christmas, a large truck came to the shop, packed with 250 new bicycles. It had to be unloaded right away or the driver would leave. It was raining. Some of my workers (without physical limitations) chose not to brave the weather to get into work, so I was shorthanded. It seemed everything was going wrong and on top of it, David came in the front door and just stood there. I looked at him and shouted,“Well, all right! Fill out a time card and help me unload this truck!” David worked for my bicycle shop for eighteen years. He came to work every day thirty minutes early. He could talk。 however, he rarely chose to. He drove my truck and made deliveries. The customers would praise David, saying,“He doesn39。t talk, but he really shows you how to operate a lawn mower!”(1)The author gave David an interview to .
