24、 editors only job is to help the business editor to set goals.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

25、 answered, “Son, if you want to catch a fish, you have to 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 wh

26、at 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

27、 the former is warmer. Besides, water is usually warmer in 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

28、 hearing my first boss say, “We all need to think like sales 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

29、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.41 Why was the author upset in fishing trips when he was nine?A. He could not catch a fish. B. His father was n

30、ot patient with him.C. His father did not teach him fishing. D. He could not influence a fish as his father did.42. 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. To study fishing in many ways.43. According to the au

31、thor, fish are most likely to be found _.A. in deep water on sunny days B. in deep water on cloudy daysC. in shallow water under sunlight D. in shallow water under waterside trees.44. After entering the business world, the author found _.A. it easy to think like a customer B. his fathers fishing adv

32、ice inspiringC. his first bosss sales ideas reasonable D. it difficult to sell services to poor people45. This passage most likely comes from _.A. a fishing guide B. a popular sales bookC. a novel on childhood D. a millionaires biographyCWhat picture do you have of the future? Will life in the futur

33、e be better, worse of the same as now? What do you hope about the future?Futurologists predict that life will probably be very different in 2050 in all the fields of activity, from entertainment to technology. First of all, it seems that TV channels will have disappeared by 2050. Instead, people wil

34、l choose a programme from a menu and a computer will send the programme directly to the television. Today, we can use the World Wide Web to read newspaper stories and see pictures on a computer thousands of kilometers away. By 2050, music, films, programmes, newspapers and books will come to us by c

35、omputer. In what concerns the environment, water will have become one of our most serious problems. In many places, agriculture is changing and they are growing fruit and vegetables to export. This uses a lot of water. Demand for water will increase ten times between now and 2050 and there could be

36、serious shortages. Some futurologists predict that water could be the cause of war if we dont act now.In transport, cars will run on new, clean fuels and they will go very fast. Cars will have computers to control the speed of the car and there wont be any accidents. Today, many cars have computers

37、that tell the drivers exactly where they are. By 2050, the computer will control the car and drive it to your destination. On the other hand, space planes will take people half way around the world in two hours. Nowadays, the United States Shuttle can go into space and land on Earth again. By 2050,

38、space planes will fly all over the world and people will fly from Los Angels to Tokyo in just two hours.In the field of technology, robots will have replaced people in factories. Many factories already use robots. Big companies prefer robots they do not ask for pay rises or go on strike, and they wo

39、rk 24 hours a day. By 2050, we will see robots everywhere in factories, schools, offices, hospitals, shops and homes.In particular, medicine technology will have conquered many diseases. Today, there are electronic devices that connect directly to the brain to help people hear. By 2050, we will be a

40、ble to help blind and deaf people see again and hear again and scientists will be able to produce clones of people and decide how they look, how they behave and how much intelligence they have. Scientists will be able to do these things but should they?46. Whats the purpose of the first paragraph ?A

41、. To arouse the interest of the readers. B. To tell the background of the passage C. To introduce the topic of the passage. D. To describe the pictures of the future 47.We can know from the passage that_. A. computer will finally take the place of the media nowadays B. robots will completely have re

42、placed people in factories C. computers will tell drivers exactly where they are in future D.it is more convenient to choose programs sent by the computer48. Whats the authors attitude towards the life in the year of 2050? A. Excited but pessimistic. B. Confident but cautious. C. Eager but afraid. D

43、. Optimistic but worried.49. The following statements are wrong EXCEPT_according to the text. ? A. the future world will be controlled by robots B. people wont be blind or deaf in the future C. fewer and fewer workers are needed in the future in factories D. scientists have the right to clone people

44、 of different kinds 50. It can be inferred from the last paragraph that_. A. all diseases will not be conquered by scientists B. scientists have known the way to produce genes C. the clones of humans are understood by scientists D. the clones of animals have a long way to goDIf humans were truly at

45、home under the light of the moon and stars，we would go in darkness happily，the midnight world as visible to us as it is to the vast number of nocturnal(夜間活動的) species on this planet. Instead，we are diurnal creatures, with eyes adapted to living in the suns light. This is a basic evolutionary fact ,

46、even though most of us dont think of ourselves as diurnal beings. Yet its the only way to explain what weve done to the night: Weve engineered it to receive us by filling it with light. The benefits of this kind of engineering come with consequences 一 called light pollution 一 whose effects scientist

47、s are only now beginning to study. Light pollution is largely the result of bad lighting design， which allows artificial light to shine outward and upward into the sky.-designed lighting washes out the darkness of night and completely changes the light levels 一 and light rhythms to which many forms

48、of life, including, ourselves, have adapted. Wherever human light spills into the natural l world , some aspect or life is affected .In most cities the sky looks as though it has been emptied of stars, leaving behind a vacant haze(霾) that mirrors our fear of the dark. Weve grown so used to this oran

49、ge haze that the original gloiy of an unlit nigh, - dark enough for the planet Venus to throw shadow on Earth, is wholly beyond our experience, beyond memory almost.Weve lit up the night as if it were an unoccupied country, when nothing could be further form the truth. Among mammals alone, the numbe

50、r of nocturnal species is astonishing, Light is a powerful biological force, and on many species it acts as a magnet(磁鐵). The effect is so powerful that scientists speak of songbirds and seabirds being“captured”by searchlights on land or by the light from gas flares on marine oil platforms. Migratin

51、g at night, birds tend to collide with brightly lit tall buildings.Frogs living near brightly lit highways suffer nocturnal light levels that are as much as a million times righter than normal, throwing nearly every aspect of their behavior out of joint including most other creatures ,we do need dar

52、kness .Darkness is as essential to our biological welfare, to our internal clockwork, as light itself.Living in a glare of our making ,we have cut ourselves off from our evolutionary and cultural heritagethe light of the stars and the rhythms of day and night .In a very real sense light pollution causes us to lose sight of our true place in the universe, to forget the scale of our being, which is best measured against the dimen
