5、ferent sizes and game boards in different colors. He also found some lists of game fans looking for various versions of the game. Peter emailed some of them, telling them what he had.Two weeks later, Peter went back to the shop.“Hello. Do you still remember the unopened word game?”The salesgirl look

6、ed at him for a second, then recognized him and said, “Oh, hi!”“Ive got something for you,” Peter said. “I sold the game and made $1,000.

10、oney.BWhen I was nine years old, I loved to go fishing with my dad. But the only thing that wasnt very fun about it was that he could catch many fish while I couldnt catch anything. I usually got pretty upset and kept asking him why. He always answered, “Son, if you want to catch a fish, you have to

11、 think like a fish”, I remember being even more upset then because, “Im not a fish!” I didnt know how to think like a fish. Besides, I reasoned, how could what I think influence what a fish does?As I got a little older I began to understand what my dad really meant. So, I read some books on fish. An

12、d I even joined the local fishing club and started attending the monthly meetings. I learned that a fish is a cold-blooded animal and therefore is very sensitive to water temperature. That is why fish prefer shallow water to deep water because the former is warmer. Besides, water is usually warmer i

13、n direct sunlight than in the shade. Yet, fish dont have any eyelids(眼皮) and the sun huts 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 sa

14、les people.” But it didnt completely 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 long-term services to people much older and richer than me, I gradu

15、ally learned what we all need is to think more like customers. It is not an easy job. I will show you how in the following chapters.31. Why was the author upset in fishing trips when he was nine?A. He could not catch a fish.B. His father was not patient with him.C. His father did not teach him fishi

16、ng.D. He could not influence a fish as his father did.32. What did the authors father really mean?A. To read about fish.B. To learn fishing by oneself.C. To understand what fish think.D.

18、ficult to sell services to poor people35. This passage most likely comes from _.A. a fishing guideB. a popular sales bookC. a novel on childhoodD. a millionaires biographyCDaniel Anderson, a famous psychologist, believes its important to distinguish televisions influences on children from those of t

19、he family. We tend to blame TV, he says, for problems it doesnt really cause, overlooking our own roles in shaping childrens minds.One traditional belief about television is that it reduces a childs ability to think and to understand the world. While watching TV, children do not merely absorb words

20、and images (影像). Instead, they learn both explicit and hidden meanings from what they see. Actually, children learn early the psychology of characters in TV shows. Furthermore, as many teachers agree, children understand far more when parents watch TV with them, explaining new words and ideas. Yet,

21、most parents use an educational program as a chance to park their kids in front of the set and do something in another room.Another argument against television is that it replaces reading as a form of entertainment. But according to Anderson, the amount of time spent watching television is not relat

22、ed to reading ability. TV doesnt take the place of reading for most children; it takes the place of similar sorts of recreation, such as listening to the radio and playing sports. Things like parents educational background have a stronger influence on a childs reading. “A childs reading ability is b

23、est predicted by how much a parent reads.” Anderson says.Traditional wisdom also has it that heavy television-watching lowers IQ (智商) scores and affects school performance. But here, too, Anderson notes that no studies have proved it. In fact, research suggests that its the other way around. “If you

24、re smart young, youll watch less TV when youre older,” Anderson says. Yet, people of lower IQ tend to be lifelong television viewers.For years researchers have attempted to show that television is dangerous to children. However, by showing that television promotes none of the dangerous effects as co

25、nventionally believed, Anderson suggests that television cannot be condemned without considering other influences.36. By watching TV, children learn _.A. images through wordsB. more than explicit meaningsC. more about images than wordsD. little about peoples psychology37. An educational program is b

26、est watched by a child _.A. on his ownB. with other kidsC. with his parentsD. with his teachers38. Which of the following is most related to childrens reading ability?A. Radio-listeningB. Television-watchingC. Parents reading listD. Parents educational background39. Anderson believed that _.A. the m

27、ore a child watches TV, the smarter he isB. the younger a child is, the more he watches TVC. the smarter a child is, the less likely he gets addicted to TVD. the less a child watches TV, the better he performs at school40. What is the main purpose of the passage?A. To advise on the educational use o

28、f TV.B. To describe TVs harmful effects on children.C. To explain traditional views on TV influences.D. To present Andersons unconventional ideas.DIt was once common to regard Britain as a society with class distinction. Each class had unique characteristics.In recent years, many writers have begun

29、to speak the decline of class and classless society in Britain. And in modern day consumer society everyone is considered to be middle class. But pronouncing the death of class is too early. A recent wide-ranging society of public opinion found 90 percent of people still placing themselves in partic

30、ular class; 73 percent agreed that class was still a vital part of British society; and 52 percent thought there were still sharp class differences. Thus, class may not be culturally and politically obvious, yet it remains an important part of British society. Britain seems to have a love of stratif

31、ication.One unchanging aspect of a British persons class position is accent. The words a person speaks tell her or his class. A study of British accents during 1970s found that a voice sounding like a BBC newsreader was viewed as the most attractive voice, Most people said this accent sounded educat

32、ed and soft. The accents placed at the bottom in this study, on the other hand, were regional（地区的）city accents. These accents were seen as common and ugly. However, a similar study of British accents in the US turned these results upside down and placed some regional accents as the most attractive a

33、nd BBC English as the least. This suggests that British attitudes towards accent have deep roots and are based on class prejudice.In recent years, however, young upper middle-class people in London, have begun to adopt some regional accents, in order to hide their class origins. This is an indicatio

34、n of class becoming unnoticed. However, the 1995 pop song Common People puts forward the view that though a middle-class person may want to live like common people they can never appreciate the reality of a working-class life.41. A recent study of public opinion shows that in modern Britain _. A. it

35、 is time to end class distinctionB. most people belong to middle classC. it is easy to recognize a persons classD. people regard themselves socially different42. The word stratification in Paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to _.A. varietyB. authorityC. divisionD. qualification43. The study in the US

British attitudes towards accent _.A. have a long traditionB. are based on regional statusC. are shared by the AmericansD. have changed in recent years45. What is the main idea of the passage?A. The mid

37、dle class is expanding B. A persons accent reflects his classC. Class is a key part of British societyD. Each class has unique characteristics.信息匹配（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）请阅读下列应用文及相关信息，并按照要求匹配信息。请在答题卡上将对应题号的相应选项字母涂黑。首先阅读下列活动介绍：ABA Night of Glamor and Intrigue at Shanghai Bund in 1930To celebrate Asia heri
