The Japanese have always loved fresh fish. But the waters close to Japan have not held many fish for decades. So fishing boats went farther than ever.but If the return trip took more than a few days, the fish were not fresh. The Japanese did not like the taste.

Then fishing companies equipped their boats with freezers. They would freeze them at sea. Freezers allowed the boats to go farther and stay longer. However, the Japanese could taste the difference between fresh and frozen and they did not like frozen fish. 

So fishing boats were equipped with fish tanks. They would  stuff  fish in the tanks(水槽),fin( 鱼翅)to fin .After a little thrashing(颠簸) around, the fish stopped moving. They were tired and dull, but alive. Unfortunately, the Japanese could still taste the difference. The Japanese preferred the lively taste of fresh fish, not sluggish fish.

To keep the fish tasting fresh, the Japanese fishing companies still put the fish in the tanks. But now they add a small shark to each tank. The shark eats a few fish, but most of the fish arrive in a very lively state. The fish are challenged.

Have you realized that some of us are also living in a tank but most of the time tired & dull, so we need a Shark in our life to keep us awake and moving.  If your challenges are the correct size, and if you are regularly defeating those challenges, you are Conqueror. You think of your challenges and get energized. You are excited to try new solutions. You are alive! Here is some advice for you :

1. Instead of avoiding challenges, jump into them and enjoy the game. If your challenges are   too large or too numerous, do not give up. Instead, reorganize. Find more determination, more knowledge, more help.

2. God didn't promise days without pain, laughter(笑) without sorrow, sun without rain, but he did promise strength for the day, comfort for the tears and light for the way.

3. Disappointments are like road blocks, they slow you down a bit but you enjoy the smooth road afterwards. Don't stay on the bumps too long. Move on!

小题1:Why did fishing companies equip their boats with freezers?

A.to keep the fish taste fresh

B.to increase the price of the fish

C.to avoid challenges in the market

D.to keep the fish alive小题2:Which of the following is right?

A.The Japanese don’t like sluggish fish, so the Japanese fishing companies won’t put the fish in the tanks

B.Since the waters close to Japan have not held many fish for decades, they have to go farther to catch fish.

C.Road blocks slow you down and stop you going on .

D.If your challenges are too large or too numerous, give it up first.小题3:The topic of the passage may be ___

A.avoid challenges

B.keep your life active

C.ways to keep fish fresh

D.some advice for you小题4:“we need a Shark in our life to keep us awake and moving”means ____

A.we need challenges of too large or too numerous to make us energized.

B.we have to accept being beaten by those challenges in life.

C.You are excited to try new solutions.

D.The society we live in is like the fish tank,we need some challenges to keep us energized.

答案

小题1:A

小题2:B

小题3:B

小题4:D

题目分析:本文以日本渔船用鲨鱼保鲜鱼的方法为例子告诉我们保持生活中精力充沛的方法。日本渔船把鲨鱼和鱼一起养在水槽里,由于鲨鱼的攻击,使鱼生气勃勃。通过这个例子,我们可以明白一个道理,要想生活中精力充沛,需要面对一些挑战和困难。在面对困难时,我们不要放弃,应迎难而上,把克服困难所付出的痛苦当作是一种享受。

小题1:推理判断题。根据第二段的 Freezers allowed the boats to go farther and stay longer.可知冰箱可以使鱼保存的时间长,因此推断日本渔船安装冰箱为了给鱼保鲜。故选A。

小题2:细节理解题。根据第四段的To keep the fish tasting fresh, the Japanese fishing companies still put the fish in the tanks.可知日本渔船仍然用水槽,故排除A. 根据最后一段的Disappointments are like road blocks, they slow you down a bit but you enjoy the smooth road afterwards. Don't stay on the bumps too long. Move on! 可知遇到路上的障碍时,不要停下,要继续前进。因此排除C。根据第六段的If your challenges are   too large or too numerous, do not give up. 可知如果遇到的挑战太多或太大,不要放弃,因此排除D. 根据第一段的 But the waters close to Japan have not held many fish for decades. So fishing boats went farther than ever.故选B。

小题3:标题归纳题。本文以日本渔船保鲜鱼的方法为例子告诉我们保持生活中精力充沛的方法。因此标题是 keep your life active,故选B。

小题4:词义猜测题。根据第四段的The shark eats a few fish, but most of the fish arrive in a very lively state. The fish are challenged. 和第五段的Have you realized that some of us are also living in a tank but most of the time tired & dull,可知水槽里的鱼面对鲨鱼这样的挑战变得活跃了,以此比喻我们的生活像一个水槽,要想精力充沛,需要迎接一些挑战。这里鲨鱼(shark)代表的是挑战。故选D。

问答题

请阅读所提供的材料,回答下列问题.

古人用木材生火取暖,木材是一种生质能源,这类能源与煤、石油、天然气等化石能源都是将植物行光合作用固定的太阳光能储藏起来,转变成人类可利用的形式.化石能源是经长久的地质化学作用形成的,开采出来耗尽后,短时间内无法由原地继续供应.相对的生物质能源则是将生物或生物废料,以原始状态或经加工转化之后,取来作为能源,这种能源只需要经收集或再经过一定的加工,就可供人类使用.生物质能的生产常利用农作物或农业废料作为原料,有些农场收集牲畜的排泄物或有机废料,集中到沼气池中,利用细菌进行发酵作用,产生沼气(主要是甲烷)作为气体燃料.此外,有些植物能产生类似石油的液态碳氢化合物,可以作为石油的代用品.例如一种巴豆属的植物所产生的巴豆油,可直接用于柴油引擎.又如巴西在20世纪70年代因石油短缺造成能源危机,栽种了大量的甘蔗和树薯,利用其中所含的糖分或淀粉生产酒精,再将酒精以10~20%的比例掺入汽油中,作为代用汽油,可直接使用于一般汽车引擎.这类汽油比无铅汽油的抗震性好,且较不易产生有毒的CO气体.但是当石油危机解除,人们又批评生产代用汽油未必能达到节约的目的,且需要广大的土地去种植提供生物质能的作物,所以又开始大量使用化石能源.现在,我国也有地方正在试验使用在汽油中加入一定量酒精的代用汽油.未来当化石能源枯竭时,生物质能将是具有潜力的能源之一.

(1)下列作为燃料的物质中,不是来自于生物质能的有______.

(A)由玉米酿造的酒精                (B)隔绝空气加热煤所得的焦炭

(C)藏族用来燃烧取暖的牛粪饼        (D)细菌分解有机垃圾产生的甲烷

(2)生物质能与化石能源比较,下列叙述中正确的是______.

(A)生物质能的形成速率比化石能源快

(B)生物质能与化石能源的形成都要经过复杂的地质作用

(C)生物质能不须加工就可使用,化石能源则须加工才能使用

(D)生物质能是储存太阳光能而来的,化石能源则是储存地底热能而得的

(3)根据材料所描述的情况,在巴西,人们不再使用掺了酒精的代用汽油.造成这种结果的主要原是______.

(A)代用汽油会产生大量空气污染物      (B)汽车引擎须改装才能使用代用汽油

(C)代用汽油爆震程度大于一般无铅汽油  (D)代用汽油生产成本超过开采石油的成本.
