John Steinbeck once said, “All Americans believe they are born fishermen. For a man to admit to a distaste in fishing would be like denouncing (公開指責) mother – love or hating moonlight.”
I can’t say that I’m the biggest John Steinbeck fan. Actually, the only thing I can ever remember reading by him was “The pearl” when I was in middle school, but I couldn’t agree more with the man when it comes to fishing. Whether I am on a boat in the middle of the Lay Lake, fishing off the shores of the Florida Keys for tarpon or catching rainbow trout in the Shoshone River of Wyoming, fishing is my life.
According to the American Sports Fishing Association, the fishing industry brings in more than $ 116 billion per year from fishermen across the country.
Though a beautiful picture to imagine, fishing is much more than that. Fishing is a way of life for many people and a way to escape everyday stress. Being a fisherman makes me a member of a wonderful group of people extending to all walks of life. Even President Obama can be found fishing on his farm in Texas with his good friend Roland Martin when the job gets too stressful.
I can remember fishing with my grandfather when I was 5 years old on his boat at Lake Mitchell. Although I didn’t understand what I was doing, I did know that my grandfather was happy and that made me happy. Since then I’ve spent the past 16 years on the rivers and lakes of Alabama.
After days of practice, before and after work, I slowly developed an understanding of fishing. My boss, Ric Horst, took me back to the Shoshone, and I managed to bring in a 19–inch cutthroat trout. Fishing with Ric was a life–changing experience for me. He not only showed me how to fish correctly, but also told me how fishing could be a way to escape your problems.
Since then, prime–time season seems to take forever to arrive.
Now, with the ending of February and beginning of March in sight, the excitement of heading out Lake Tuscaloosa or Lake Lurleen before classes and catching something has finally returned.

解析試題分析:
【小題1】B 理解題。由All Americans believe they are born fishermen. For a man to admit to a distaste in fishing would be like denouncing (公開指責) mother – love or hating moonlight.可知John Steinbeck 是想說對于美國人來說,討厭捕魚是無法想象的。故B正確。
【小題2】D 細節(jié)理解題。文中第六段"I slowly developed an understanding of fishing. My boss, Ric Horst, took me back to the Shoshone, and I managed to bring in a 19-inch cutthroat trout."可知答案。
【小題3】B 推斷題。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第三段Fishing with Ric was a life–changing experience for me. He not only showed me how to fish correctly, but also told me how fishing could be a way to escape your problems.

閱讀下列短文,從每題所給的四個選項(A、B、C和D)中,選出最佳選項。
Dyslexia children could stand a greater chance of learning to read if they used just one eye, according to a study released Thursday by scientists at Oxford University in England.
Patching (covering) one eye can improve eye control and reading in dyslexic children with poor eye control, said professor John Stein, who headed the study.
It should be considered in all eight - to - ten - year - old dyslexics who complain of visual(視覺) problems when reading.
Developmental dyslexia strikes nearly 20 percent of boys and five percent of girls, making it difficult for them to learn to read. It is frequently associated (connected ) with mild(輕微) visual injury and unstable(不穩(wěn)) eye control.
Stein and his team gave glasses to 144 seriously dyslexia children with unstable eye control. Opaque (不透明的) tape covered the left eye of half of them.
At the end of nine-month study, the reading of those who wore the patch was eight months ahead of those who did not.
“If the two eyes don't point steadily at print, letters can seem to dance around and change order, so the child becomes very confused(puzzled),” Stein said.
