22、 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 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 sales people.” 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.
【1】What did the author’s father really mean?
A.To read about fish.
B.To learn fishing by oneself.
C.To understand what fish think.
D.To study fishing in many ways.
【2】After entering the business world, the author found ________.
A.it easy to think like a customer
B.his father’s fishing advice inspiring
C.his first boss’s sales ideas reasonable
D.it difficult to sell services to poor people
【3】This passage most likely comes from ________.
A.a fishing guide
B.a popular sales book
C.a novel on childhood
D.a millionaire’s biography

24、 I’d just finished some shopping, and was getting ready to leave the supermarket’s parking lot, when I heard music coming from the area of the shopping carts (手推车). I knew it was someone I knew, well — the beggar, I couldn’t really call him.
He never begged. It was more like he was open to accepting presents. He never had a sign out, never spoke and never looked at you to beg. He would just sit quietly on the side of the entrance, out of the way, have a little box outside, and thank everyone very politely who gave him something.
He didn’t look like the many people I knew in my town who lived on the streets. His clothes always looked quite clean. I often wondered how he’d gotten to live on the streets. And he was playing his guitar, just like the last time I’d seen him in summer. He hadn’t noticed me then, being so deep into his music.
I started to talk to him. He told me that he had been an epileptic(癫痫患者) as a child and as a young man now, he couldn’t even get the job the social services try to offer people like him — everybody seemed afraid of the responsibility, even though he’d had no seizure (发作) for the past 13 years.
I started feeling sorry for him, but then he said, “I’ve made my peace with that. I’m happy I got an apartment.” He said he’d gotten so much help, and he wanted to try to give back, starting with the music.
I was so happy that he remembered his love for music, and shared his music with the people passing by. I was glad he found an apartment, and had the inner strength not to let himself down, and as he said, “found my faith again”.
【1】In the author’s opinion, what made the man different from other homeless men?
A. He only wanted gifts.
B. He could write music.
C. He always begged near a shop.
D. He always wore clean clothes.
【2】Why was the young man unable to find a job?
A. Because he was too weak to work.
B. Because he considered music to be his job.
C. Because others misunderstood his illness.
D. Because bosses were short of responsibility.
【3】What was the young man’s attitude towards his present situation?
A. Doubtful. B. Grateful.
C. Unconcerned. D. Disappointed.

26、Direction: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.
Bicycle Sharing
For years, bike-sharing plans have been common in big cities around the world, including in China. Examples include Paris’s Vélib and London’s Santander Cycles (“Boris bikes”). But these require customers to return the bicycles to docking stations (泊车位).In China, a more user-friendly approach is spreading rapidly. It involves bikes that can be paid for using a smartphone and left anywhere. GPS tracking enables them to be located with a mobile app. A ride typically costs only one yuan (﹩0.15) on a bike in an eye-catching colour.
The first such service was launched in June 2015 by a startup called Ofo. The company now has around 2.5m yellow-framed bikes in more than 50 cities in China. Its main rival, Mobike, which started up only a year ago, says it has “several million” of its orange-wheeled bikes spread across a similar area. Bluegogo has half a million bikes in six Chinese cities. It plans to add a new city every two weeks.
However, the dockless system is easy to abuse. Some riders hide the bikes in or near their homes to prevent others from using them. Another trick involves scratching off a bike’s QR code to stop others from scanning it. A bigger problem for the new firms is persuading people to use bikes instead of cars. Thirty years ago, 63% of Beijingers cycled to work. Now, only 12% do. Many people think that cycling is only for the poor. A dating-show contestant famously said in 2010 that she would “rather cry in a BMW than smile on a bike.” Cycling is also dangerous. About 40% of road accidents involve bicycles, according to a report in 2013. Some city authorities accuse the bike-sharing firms of causing congestion. This month, the southern city of Shenzhen ordered limits on the number of shared bikes. Other cities,including Shanghai and Beijing, are considering similar measures.
Despite some disadvantages, such user-friendly services represent the kind of green innovation that China wants and may even bring “a revolution”.
