III. 阅读理解（共 4 篇文章 19 小题，每小题 2 分，满分 38 分） A
When I was nine years old, I loved to go fishing with my dad. But the only thing that wasn’t very fun about it was that he could catch many fish while I couldn’t 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 think like a fish.” I remember being even more upset then because, “I’m not a fish!” I didn’t 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. And 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 in direct sunlight than in the shade. Yet, fish don’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 salespeople.” But it didn’t 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 gradually 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？ [单选题] * A. He could not catch a fish(正确答案) B. His father was not patient with him C. His father did not teach him fishing D. He could not influence a fish as his father did

Pre - school children who spend time together take on one another's personalities, “new research has found. The study shows that environment plays a key role in shaping people's personalities. While genetics still forms the central part of the human psyche (心理), the research finds that personality traits (特征) are “contagious” (传染的) among children. “Our finding flies in the face of common assumptions that personality can't be changed,” said Dr. Jennifer Neal, co - author of the study.
The researchers studied the personalities and social networks of two pre - school classes for a full school year. One of the classes was a set of three - year - olds, and the other a set of four - year - olds. Children whose friends were hard - working or outgoing gradually took on these personality traits over time. Psychology expert Dr. Emily Dublin said kids are having a far bigger effect on each other than people may realize.
The new study is not the first to explore the contagious effects of personality traits. A 2015 psychology study found that rudeness at work can be contagious as it travels from person to person “like a disease,”. The study. found that seeing a boss being rude to an employee was enough to cause people to be rude to those around them.
The researchers questioned 6, 000 people on the social “climate” in their workplaces, which included offices, hotels and restaurants. They found 75 percent of those who took
part said they had been treated rudely at least once in the past year. And the study also suggests that merely seeing other people being subjected to rudeness made it more likely that a person would treat their colleagues in the same way. Rudeness could include leaving someone off an invite to a company event, sending unkind emails, finding fault with others or failing to give praise.
Dr. Torkelson believes companies need to be more aware of the harm that rudeness in the workplace can do as it can damage the working environment. She said better training could help to fight against the problem.

When you go to a grocery store, you expect to pay for your goods with money. But students at a high school in Texas, US, opened a store that runs on good deeds. In November, students from Linda Tutt High School in the city of Sanger launched a grocery store that enables students to purchase necessities such as toilet paper, meat and basic food items using a point system. The store aims to support families in need. “In our school district, there are roughly 2,750 students enrolled and throughout the district, 43 percent of these students are considered economically disadvantaged,” Anthony Love, principal of Linda Tutt, told CNN. “About 3.6 percent of our students are considered homeless. We thought it was important to support them and their families and make sure they had food on the table.”
Students earn points by contributing positively to the school. For those students from poor families, the point system has provided a way for them to shop for their families, according to Love. “They can earn points for doing chores(杂活)around the building or helping to clean,” he said.
With the help of partners like Texas Health, Albertsons and First Refuge Ministries, the school was able to stock the shelves.
The number of points for each item was actually assigned by the students. “So we walked through here and decided that a can of green beans was one point,” said Paul Juarez, the executive director of First Refuge Ministries.
Juarez hopes the idea can get implemented(实施)in other areas. “It gives us a picture of what can be. So if we can do this inside other schools, it will do a whole lot to help other small towns.”
In addition to the financial benefits, students also learn about supply management and customer service, and such lessons could prepare them for future jobs.
The grocery store's student manager, Hunter Weertman, says he has already learned important life skills from his experience at the store, such as making good spending choices and budgeting(安排开支).
The store practice was also welcomed by Thomas Muir, Sanger's mayor(). “We all had our first jobs and it taught us how to work, and what you got from your work,” he said. “I think this will do that for them too, and also meet an immediate need.”
41. Why did students from Linda Tutt High School open such a special grocery store? [单选题] *
A. To learn to manage money. B. To finish their research project.
C. To support students from poor families.(正确答案) D. To encourage people to serve the community.
42. How could students earn points? [单选题] * A. By volunteering in the community. B. By doing good deeds at school.(正确答案) C. By selling goods to families. D. By doing chores at home.
43. With the help of partners, the school was able to ________. [单选题] * A. provide shelves for students B. buy the shelves to put goods
C. keep supplies of goods to sell(正确答案) D. make good learning management
44. Which of the following would Paul Juarez probably agree with? [单选题] * A. The number of points should not be assigned by students. B. The practice has set a good example for other schools.(正确答案) C. The customer service at the store needs improvement. D. The point system can only be used in schools.
45. What did Thomas Muir think of the store practice? [单选题] * A. It inspired students to study harder. B. It allowed students to choose a career. C. It improved students learning abilities.
D. It helped students gain work experience.(正确答案)
D （选作题）
Terrafugia Inc. said Monday that its new flying car has completed its first flight, bringing the company closer to its goal of selling the flying car within the next year. The vehicle — named the Transition — has two seats, four wheels and wings that fold up so it can be driven like a car. The Transition, which flew at 1,400 feet for eight minutes last month, can reach around 70 miles per hour on the road and 115 in the air. It flies using a 23-gallon tank of gas and burns 5 gallons per hour in the air. On the ground, it gets 35 miles per gallon.
Around 100 people have already put down a $10,000 deposit（定金） to get a
Transition when they go on sale, and those numbers will rise after Terrafugia introduces the Transition to the public later this week at the New York Auto Show. But don’t expect it to show up in too many driveways. It’s expected to cost as much as $279,000. And it won’t help if you’re stuck in traffic. The car needs a runway.
Inventors have been trying to make flying cars since the 1930s, according to Robert Mann, an airline industry expert. But Mann thinks Terrafugia has come closer than anyone to making the flying car a reality. The government has already permitted the company to use special materials to make it easier for the vehicle to fly. The Transition is now going through crash tests to make sure it meets federal safety standards.
Mann said Terrafugia was helped by the Federal Aviation Administration’s (联邦航空管理局) decision five years ago to create a separate set of standards for light sport aircraft, which are lower than those for pilots of larger planes. Terrafugia says an owner would need to pass a test and complete 20 hours of flying time to be able to fly the Transition, a requirement pilots would find relatively easy to meet.
46. What is the first paragraph mainly about? [单选题] * A. The advantages of flying cars.
B. The basic data of the Transition.(正确答案) C. The possible market for flying cars. D. The designers of the Transition.
47. Why is the Transition unlikely to show up on too many roads? [单选题] * A. It causes traffic jams. B. It is difficult to operate. C. It is very expensive.(正确答案) D. It burns too much fuel.
48. What is the government’s attitude to the development of the flying car? [单选题] *
A. The government supports it.(正确答案) B. The government is against it.
C. The government sets higher standards to discourage it D. The government thinks it is on the way out.
49. What is the best title for the text? [单选题] * A. Flying Car at Auto Show B. The Transition’s First Flight C. Pilots’ Dream Coming True
D. Flying Car Closer to Reality(正确答案)
