Once there was an 11-year-old boy who went fishing with his father in the middle of a New Hampshire lake. On the day before bass(巴斯鱼) season opened, they were fishing early in the evening, catching other fish with worms. Then the boy tied a small silver lure(鱼饵) and put it into the lake. Suddenly he felt that something very big pulling on the lure. His father watched with admiration as the boy skillfully brought the fish beside the bank. Finally he lifted the tired fish from the water. It was the largest one he had ever seen, but it was a bass.
The boy and his father looked at the big fish. The father lit a match and looked at his watch. It was 10 p.m.—two hours before the season opened. He looked at the fish, then at the boy. “You’ll have to put it back, son,” he said.
“Dad!” cried the boy. “There will be other fish,” said his father. “Not as big as this one,” cried the boy. He looked around the lake. No other fishermen or boats were in sight in the moonlight. He looked again at his father.
Even though no one had seen them, nor could anyone ever know what time he had caught the fish, the boy could tell from his father’s voice that the decision couldn’t be changed. He threw the huge bass into the black water. The big fish disappeared. The boy thought that he would never again see such a big fish.
That was 34 years ago. Today the boy is a successful architect in New York City. He often takes his own son and daughters to fish at the same place.
And he was right. He has never again caught such a large fish as the one he got that night long ago. But he does see that same fish ... again and again ... every time he has an ethical (道德的) decision to make. For, as his father had taught him, ethics are simple matters of right and wrong. It is only the practice of ethics that is difficult.
1.What happened when the big fish turned out to be a bass?
| A．The boy and his father didn’t know what to do with the big fish. |
| B．The father lit a match in order to check the time. |
| C．The boy threw the bass back into the water willingly. |
| D．They worried other fishermen might discover what they had done. |
2.From the text we know that the father _________.
| A．didn’t love his son |
| B．always disagreed with his son |
| C．disliked the huge fish |
| D．was firm and stubborn |
3.The successful architect went fishing with his children at the same place because _______.
| A．they might catch a big fish there |
| B．it was a most popular fishing spot |
| C．he was taught a moral lesson there |
| D．their children enjoyed fishing there |
4.What does the story imply (suggest）?

Once upon a time, there was an old man who couldn’t read or write. When he was little, his family was so poor that he couldn’t attend school. But he always dreamed of being able to read.
One day, he took his seven-year-old grandson to school.
Since he didn’t have anything to do that day, he didn’t leave immediately. Instead, he stood outside his grandson’s classroom and looked in through the window.
The kids’ teacher, who was an old man in his fifties, entered the classroom when the class began. The teacher was wearing thick glasses. He started teaching. Through watching him, the old man found something interesting. He noticed that the teacher could read nothing without putting his glasses on. As soon as he put on his glasses, he could read very well.
“How amazing!” said the old man to himself.
He waited outside the classroom until the class was over and stopped the teacher.
“Excuse me, sir,” said the old man to the teacher.
“Yes?” said the teacher.
“I noticed something amazing. You can’t read without the glasses, right?” said the old man.
“Yes, that’s true. I can read nothing without them,” replied the teacher.
“But you can read once you put them on, can’t you?” asked the old man.
“Yes, that’s true, too,” replied the teacher, wondering why the old man was asking such strange questions.
The teacher looked at the old man, who left in a hurry with a big smile on his face.
The old man, who was extremely happy, decided to go to town to find an eyeglasses store. After being unable to read so many years, he finally found an easy way to read, which cheered him up. He realized what he needed to read was just a pair of glasses.
“I can finally read,” said the old man to himself when walking to the town.
Finally, the man arrived at the town. He looked around and soon found a store with glasses in it. The man happily entered the store.

高二英语读后续写中等难度题查看答案及解析
My 7-year-old daughter Leeny always has her nose in a book. She even took to reading in the car on the long drive to summer camp, which was where she lost the book. This is the first lost library book in my life. My family has always been overeducated, but we were poor. I didn’t own books. I borrowed books. However, my daughters have more books now than I owned my whole childhood, and I knowingly contribute to it by adding to the stacks (堆). So it's probably my fault that when Leeny realized she had lost the book, she shrugged (耸肩). “Sorry. I can't find it.” she said. “It’s only $20, right? What’s the big deal?”
I felt the need to make her feel responsible for the book. She agreed to help me clean the chicken coop (笼子) in trade for my paying the library fine. I thought this idea was very clever because cleaning the coop is some work I had been avoiding for months. It was summertime, and dust floated in the dry air.
But my girl, my animal-loving mini-me, thought shoveling chicken poop (铲鸡粪) was the most fun she’d had on a Saturday morning in a long time. She did not feel any of the emotions that punishment is supposed to introduce. In fact, she looked as if she might lose another book on purpose in order to clean the coop again. I stood, somewhat dumbfounded (发愣的), watching her.
It took me a while to realize what had happened, why my punishment had failed so completely and why I didn't care. The fact is that I had Leeny help me clean the chicken coop. I was there, too, shoveling chicken poop, fetching the clean straw and feed. Leeny’s little sister, Vicki, was inside watching a cartoon while my husband paid bills. Only Leeny and I were outside. She had me all to herself for the first time since Vicki was born, and she was enjoying all the attention for once. I don't know what she learned about responsibility, but I found that I didn't care about the book anymore. We bonded over that unpleasant job and spent quality time together: mother, daughter, and chicken poop.
1.How does Leeny find reading?
A.It is very challenging.
B.It is full of enjoyment.
C.It inspires her to be a camper.
D.It teaches her to love her family.
2.The underlined word “it” in Paragraph1 refers to the fact that________.
A.the author could never have enough books to read
B.the author’s daughters often lost library books
C.the author’s daughters own too many books
D.the author didn’t own any books
3.What’s the best title for the text?
A.What I owe to Leeny: more attention
B.My punishment failed, but I didn’t care
C.My daughter drove me crazy, but I felt grateful
D.Surprise: my daughter loves cleaning chicken coops
