B
A boy was 11 years old and lived on an island in the middle of a lake. On the day before the bass(鲈鱼) season opened, he and his father were fishing early in the evening. Finally, he lifted a huge fish from the water. It was the largest one and it was a bass.
NOTICE
BASS FISHING SEASON
Open from 23 June to 30 November
Please protect fish and limit the catch.
The father looked at the handsome fish. Then he looked at his watch very carefully. It was 10 p. m. —2 hours before the season opened. " ▲, 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 anywhere around in the moonlight. He looked again at his father. No one saw them, but the boy could tell by his father's eyes that he wouldn't change his mind. The fish gave a wave with its tail before it went away into the black water.
That was 34 years ago. Today, the boy is a great architect(建筑师) in New York. He often takes his own son and daughters to go fishing at the same place. He has never caught such a big fish as the one he caught that night long ago, but he does see the same fish—again and again.

16. D 【解析】推理判断题。根据“On the day before the bass season opened”“Open from 23 June to 30 November”和“It was 10 p. m. —2 hours before the season opened”可知，鲈鱼季始于6月23日，作者是在鲈鱼季开始前一天的晚上10点，即6月22日晚上10点抓到了又大又帅的鱼，故选D。
17. C 【解析】句子还原题。根据“It was 10 p. m. —2 hours before the season opened.”和“The fish gave a wave with its tail before it went away into the black water.”可知，父亲看了手表，发现是鲈鱼季开启前2小时，且后文提到鱼摆尾游走，可推测此处与把鱼放生有关，选项C“你得把鱼放回去”符合语境，故选C。
18. B 【解析】句意理解题。根据原文“He has never caught such a big fish as the one he caught that night long ago, but he does see the same fish—again and again.”并结合故事可知，男孩虽再没钓到那么大的鱼，但那晚“遵守规则放生鱼”的经历和场景，反复在记忆中重现，象征这段经历对他的深刻影响，故选B。
19. A 【解析】推理判断题。根据“No one saw them, but the boy could tell by his father's eyes that he wouldn't change his mind.”可知，在鲈鱼季开始前，即使在没人看到的情况下，作者的父亲坚持让作者把鱼放回去，说明作者的父亲坚持原则，遵守法规，故选A。
20. A 【解析】标题归纳题。通读全文可知，本文主要讲述了作者在鲈鱼季开放前夜钓到一条大鱼，父亲坚持要求他放生以遵守规则的故事。选项A“一生难得的收获”一语双关，既指钓到的大鱼，也指作者从父亲身上学到的精神，最适合作为标题，故选A。

【分析】
本题为英语阅读理解题，包含5道选择题，分别考查时间推理、句子还原、句意理解、人物品质推断及标题归纳。解题时需先通读全文把握主旨（男孩在鲈鱼季开放前夜钓到大鱼，父亲坚持要求其放生的经历），再针对各题定位原文关键线索：16题需结合鲈鱼季开放时间、钓鱼时间及具体时刻推理日期；17题要联系规则背景与后续鱼游走的情节选合适句子；18题需理解划线句的深层含义而非字面意思；19题通过父亲的行为推断其品质；20题需概括全文核心选择贴切标题。
【解析】
16题：根据原文“On the day before the bass season opened”“BASS FISHING SEASON Open from 23 June to 30 November”可知，鲈鱼季6月23日开放，钓鱼在开放前一天；再结合“It was 10 p. m. —2 hours before the season opened”，此时为6月22日晚10点，故选D。
17题：前文提到“2 hours before the season opened”（鲈鱼季未开放），后文提到“The fish gave a wave with its tail before it went away”（鱼游走），可知父亲要求把鱼放回去，C选项符合语境，故选C。
18题：划线句字面意为“他一次又一次看到同一条鱼”，深层含义是那晚遵守规则放生鱼的经历反复在他脑海中重现，是对他的深刻影响，B选项符合，故选B。
19题：父亲在无人看到的情况下，坚持让男孩放生未到开放季的鲈鱼，说明他遵守法规、坚持原则，A选项符合，故选A。
20题：全文既指男孩钓到的大鱼是一生难得的收获，也指从父亲身上学到的遵守规则的精神是一生的收获，A选项“一生难得的收获”最贴切，故选A。
