语篇分析：
一个小孩看一个渔夫捕鱼，他很擅长捕鱼。渔夫看孩子聪明伶俐，想给他一些鱼，但这个孩子想要钓鱼竿，他觉得只要有了钓鱼竿，他就可以自己钓鱼了。你觉得这个孩子聪明吗？有的人可能会说“是”，但作者认为，如果没有钓鱼的技巧，即使有了钓鱼竿也没有什么用。因此钓鱼的技巧比钓鱼竿更重要。
答案解析：
16句意：过了一会儿，这个孩子发现这个渔夫非常擅长捕鱼。考查介词辨析，for为了，因为；in在…里面；at在具体时间点或地点；with和…一起。根据句意可知，这里考查的是固定短语be good at…“擅长某事”，故应选C。
17句意：因为他没有花费太长时间就捕了满满一篮子的鱼。考查非谓语动词，to catch抓住，
动词不定式；in…里面；for catching介词for后加动名词；catching动名词。这句话中使用了spend表示花费的句型，spend 一段时间 （in）doing sth.花费时间做某事。in可以省略，故结合句意可知应选D。
18句意：但是这个孩子摇了摇头。考查动词辨析，lifted举起；nodded点头；shook摇动，是shake的过去式；shaked形式错误，shake的过去式是不规则的变化，应该为shook。根据下句话The fisherman asked in ___4___, “Why not want the fish?”可知，这个孩子不要渔夫给的鱼，所以是“摇头”，故选C。
19句意：渔夫吃惊地问：“为什么不想要鱼？”考查词性转换，surprises吃惊，第三人称单数形式；surprise惊奇，吃惊，可以做动词或名词；surprised吃惊的，形容词，常修饰人；surprising令人吃惊的，修饰物。空前有介词in，故这里填名词，in surprise是固定短语，意为“吃惊地”，修饰句中的谓语动词asked。故选B。
20句意：但是如果我有钓鱼竿，我就可以自己去钓鱼，我就不害怕没有鱼吃了。考查动词辨析，fished钓鱼，过去式；fishing现在分词；fishes第三人称单数形式；fish钓鱼，动词原形。go fishing是固定短语，“去钓鱼”，故应选B。
21句意：我想你当然会说这个孩子非常的聪明伶俐。考查副词辨析，mainly主要地；finally最后；exactly精确地，恰恰；certainly当然。根据上文的文意可知，这个孩子不要渔夫给的鱼，而是要他的钓鱼竿，这样他就可以自己去钓鱼了。所以人们当然会觉得这个孩子很聪明，故应选D。
22句意：我认为如果他不知道怎样钓鱼，即使他有鱼竿，他也没有鱼吃。考查疑问词辨析，how怎样；where在哪里；what什么；when什么时候。根据句意和下文Fishing skills are the ___9___ important, not the fishing rod.可知，作者觉得钓鱼的技巧更加重要，所以应该知道“怎样钓鱼”，故应选A。
23句意：因此只有钓鱼竿是没有用的。考查形容词辨析，harmless无害的；homeless无家可归的；useless没用的；careless粗心的。根据上句话I think if he doesn’t know ___7___ to fish, he can’t have fish to eat, even though he has the fishing rod.“即使有钓鱼竿，也没有鱼吃”，因此这里表示“只有钓鱼竿是没有用的”，故选C。
24句意：钓鱼的技巧是最重要的，而不是钓鱼竿。考查形容词最高级，most最…；最多；least最少，是little的最高级；less更少，是little的比较级；more更多的，更…。根据上句话he can’t have fish to eat, even though he has the fishing rod.“即使有钓鱼竿，也没有鱼吃”以及空前的the可知，在钓鱼的各项影响因素中，“钓鱼的技巧最重要”，这里应用最高级，故选A。
25句意：在现代社会，一些人认为如果他们的生活中有一根“钓鱼竿”，他们就不再害怕风雨。考查短语辨析，not long不长；not longer形式错误；no long形式错误；no longer不再。根据句意可知，这里表示“不再害怕”，故应选D。
