The old man was really 47 at fishing and it didn’t take long for him to catch a full basket of fish. The old man saw that the child was very cute, and he wanted to give 48 a whole basket of fish. But the child shook her head. The old man was 49 and asked, “Why don’t you want the fish?” The child 50 , “I want the fishing rod(竿) i n your hands.” The old man asked, “Why do you want the rod?” “It doesn’t take long to eat all the fish in a basket. But 51 I have the fishing rod, I can go fishing by myself and I won’t be afraid of not having any more fish to eat.” I think you will certainly say that the child is very smart. Wrong! If she doesn’t know 52 to fish, she cannot have fish to eat, even though she gets the fishing rod. It’s useless to only have a fishing rod. Fishing skills are the 53 important, not the fishing rod. Too many people think that if they have a “fishing rod” in their life, they will 54 longer be afraid of the wind and rain. They are just 55 the child. She thought that if she had a fishing rod, she would have fish to eat. 46. 47. 48. 49. 50. 51. 52. 53. 54. 55. 2019 年广东省初中毕业生学业考试英语试题 请用适当的词完成下面的短文,并把所缺单词填写在答题卡指定的位置上。 Last winter holiday,I visited a village with only 11 houses. __71__ the village was very small, I spent a whole day in it.
