Seal(海豹) seizes raft

This seal really rocked the boat when he found himself an unusual place to hang out. After the seal came across a boat in the harbor where he lives, he fell inside and wouldn’t budge for four days.

“One morning the seal just pulled himself aboard,” says Ed Stubbings, who owns the boat-turned-bed. Probably thinking the boat was a rock, the seal made himself at home. The seal didn’t move an inch-----not even to eat or drink.

Stubbings was a little worried that the 500-pound animal might sink it. Luckily on the fifth day, the seal fell back into the water and swam off.

Alligator(短吻鳄)gets new tail

When Mr. Stubbs the alligator swims through his pool at the Phoenix Herpetological Society, he looks like any other gator-----except that his tail is made of rubber. Mr. Stubbs is the first alligator known to wear an artificial tail.

Mr. Stubbs was brought to the society nine years ago. “His tail was missing when he arrived,” says President Russ Johnson. Mr. Stubbs couldn’t walk or swim properly. “We showed him how to swim in the water,” Johnson says. “But that hurt his back.” Later, the scientists used rubber to build an artificial tail attached to Mr. Stubbs’s back legs. “Once we put the tail on him, he walked with ease,” Johnson says.

Dog delivers papers

Morgan started her “paper route” when she was young. One day as Morgan and her owner Bill set out on a walk, she spotted a rolled-up paper. To Bill’s surprise, Morgan grabbed the object in her mouth, walked back to the house, and dropped it on the doorstep. Morgan enjoyed the activity so much that she wanted to deliver every paper she saw on her walks.

Now three-year-old Morgan brings the paper to her owner and neighbors, even in bad weather. “Morgan has a natural instinct(本能) to carry things with her mouth,” dog behaviorist Pat Miller says. “And she feels rewarded by the activity, so she keeps it up.”

【1】The underlined word “budge” can be replaced by________.

A. move B. change C. swim D. sleep

【2】It can be learned that Mr. Stubbs_______.

A. injured his back

B. lost his tail and back legs

C. quickly got used to his new tail

D. was found by Ed Stubbings

【3】What made Morgan deliver papers?

A. Her owner Bill’s praise.

B. Her neighbors’ rewards.

C. Pat Miller’s encouragement.

D. Her natural ability.

【答案】

【1】A

【2】C

【3】D

【解析】sneakers中学课本中未出现过的新词。根据英语语法，A。B、C代入句子中都正确一。作为名词的A、B、C代人句中意思也说得通。但在speakers前加一个修饰语white就成为Tom can’t find his white sneakers．那么 A则可去掉，答案则可能是B和C。而在这句的前面再加一层意思，这就是：Tom can’t play tennis now because he can’t find his white sneakers. 这样一看就知道bowls(碗）与打网球没有什么联系，而shoes与打网球却有密切联系，不穿鞋怎么打网球呢？C就成为唯一正确选项。

【题目】Making a good job choice is almost as good as choosing a good life. So, choosing a job is one of the most important decisions to make in life.

For my job, there are three important things that I will consider:

The first one—that I must work in an area I like—is most important to me. Someone once said if you find a job that you enjoy, then you won't have to work another day. I would like to work in an area where I can be more creative. I would like to be the most valuable member there. All this is possible only if I like what I do.

The second one is that the area of my work must lead me to solve some new and hard problems. I would like to stay in the same area for a long time. In order for this to happen, the work must provide enough problems. More than just working to live, I enjoy making a difference and trying my best for the whole progress. I would also like to be well remunerated for my hard work, so I can lead a comfortable life with this hard-won money. Then I can provide the best for my family.

The third important thing is that I would like to work in an area that would help other people. The work in my mind is in fields such as the army, training or management. In such areas, I can help to develop the abilities of others and bring out their best. It would be a most satisfying job to help young people to become the best that they can be. When I become old, I would like to look back with a great sense of satisfaction that thousands of people have become better persons through my work.

I accept the idea that no one should make a choice of a job suddenly or quickly. He should decide what he wants to be in the long run. Then, he should decide how he works towards it. He should study the proper courses, read the books and speak to knowledgeable persons in that field before making a job choice. A good choice will most probably lead to a better life.

【1】According to the passage, a good job choice probably makes people ________.

A. solve fewer problems

B. choose a good life

C. be good family members

【2】The writer considers an enjoyable job most important because ________.

A. he has to bring out his best

B. it can make him more creative

C. he will have to work another day

【3】The underlined word "remunerated" in the means"________.

A. trained B. praised C. paid

【4】The writer wants to tell us that everyone should ________.

A. become a knowledgeable person

B. join the army to become a better person

C. make preparations to find a satisfying job

【5】What is the best title for the passage?

A. My Job Choice

B. My favorite Job

C. My Comfortable Life

【题目】根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

You may think that English dictionaries have been used for many, many centuries. The spelling of English has always been a problem. 【1】 Then people could spell words in different ways which you might find interesting. But it made reading English much more difficult. So dictionaries were invented to encourage everybody to spell the same. In fact, an English dictionary like the kind you use today wasn’t made until the time of the late Qing Dynasty. 【2】 They are Samuel Johnson, Noah Webster, and James Murray. These men spent nearly all of their lives trying to collect words for their dictionaries. For them, it was not only a job; it was a wonderful journey of discovery. The largest dictionary in the world is the Oxford English Dictionary, or OED for short.

【3】 At the age of fourteen, he left his village school in Scotland and taught himself while working in a bank. Later he became a great teacher. After Oxford gave him the job, Murray had a small house built in the garden behind his house to do his work. Part of it was one meter underground. 【4】 He had to wear a heavy coat and put his feet in a box to keep warm. Every morning, Murray got out of bed at five o’clock and worked several hours before breakfast. 【5】 Murray hoped to finish the new dictionary in ten years. But after five years, he was still adding words for the letter A! Forty-four years in 1928, other editors finished the dictionary.

A. In winter it felt like a barn.

B. Murray had never been to college.

C. He worked on the dictionary until he was very old.

D. Often he would work by candle light into the evening.

E. But it was more of a problem in the days before a dictionary.

F. Three men did most of the important early work on dictionaries.

G. The idea of this dictionary came from an important meeting in Britain in 1857.
