But the only thing that wasn39。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。我通常很沮喪，不停地問他為什么。 （2）考查推理判斷。是隨著我慢慢長大，我理解了父親的話，于是我買了很多關(guān)于魚的書和參加關(guān)于魚的俱樂部和會(huì)議去了解魚的特點(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就應(yīng)該多研究魚，了解魚，故選D。根據(jù)第二段中的“That is why fish prefer shallow water to deep water because the former is warmer.
