　　The dog, called Prince, was an intelligent animal and a slave to Williams. From morning till night, when Williams was at home, Prince never left his sight, practically (几乎) ignoring all other members of the family. The dog had a number of clearly defined duties, for which Williams had patiently trained him and, like the good pupil he was, Prince lived for the chance to demonstrate (举出实例证明) his abilities. When Williams wanted to put on his boots, he would murmur “Boots” and within seconds the dog would drop them at his feet. At nine every morning ran off to the general store in the village, returning shortly not only with Williams's daily paper but with a half- ounce packet of Williams's favorite tobacco. John Rhiney's Mixed, a gun-dog by breed (牲畜等的种), Prince possessed a large soft mouth specially evolved (进化) for the safe carrying of hunted creatures, so the paper and tobacco came to no harm, never even showing a tooth mark.

　　Williams was a railway man, an engine driver, and he wore a blue uniform smelled of oil and oil fuel. He had to work at odd (临时的) times棥—days” or “nights”. Over the years Prince got to know these periods of work and rest, knew when his master would leave the house and return, and the dog did not waste this knowledge. If Williams overslept, as he often did, Prince barked (狗叫) at the bedroom door until he woke, much to the annoyance (恼怒) of the family. On his return, Willams's slippers were brought to him, the paper and tobacco too if previously undelivered.

　　A curious thing happened to Williams during the snow and ice of last winter. One evening he slipped and fell on the icy pavement (人行道) somewhere between the village and his home. He was so badly shaken that he stayed in bed for three days; and not until he got up and dressed again did he discover that he had lost his wallet containing over fifty pounds. The house was turned upside down in the search, but the wallet was not found. However, two days later-that was five days after the fall Prince dropped the wallet into Williams' hand. Very muddy, stained and wet through, the little case still contained fifty-three pounds, Williams's driving license and a few other papers. Where the dog had found it no one could tell, but he had found it and recognized it probably by the faint oil smell on the worn leather.

1．Which of the following is true about Prince?

[　　]

A．The dog had few chances to do his duties

B．The dog protected Williams from the others in the family.

C．Prince behaved as he did through fear of Williams.

D．The dog would de anything for Williams.

[　　]

4．Williams did not realize his loss for several days because ________.

[　　]

A．he trusted the dog to find the wallet

B．he was unconscious all that time

C．he thought the wallet was in the house

D．he had no occasion to feel in his pockets

A．he found it where Williams had fallen

B．he had seen it before and recognized it

C．of the mud that was on it

D．the scent of it was familiar to him

It’s often true that jobs for students sometimes lead to employment after graduation, so it’s a good idea to think carefully before you begin working during your college years.

During my entire college life I worked as a bartender （酒吧招待）. I have to say that I really enjoyed that job, and was fond of the idea of making money without doing too much work. I also had the opportunity to socialize （交际） while working. I came to be known among the upper class, and gradually became popular on campus because of my job. However, working as a bartender can have the negative side that people tend to think that you enjoy drinking.

All in all, I wish I had thought more carefully before deciding to take that job. I got a Bachelor’s degree （学士学位）in English, qualifying（使···有资格） me to work as a writer, but so far I have only been able to use the skills I learned from that part-time job.

It would be different if I had searched for jobs related to writing or editing（编辑） instead of bartending. It’s commonly accepted that employment for students is only temporary （临时的），but we should never forget that it can connect to the work we get after we graduate. After all, employers not only look at the degree, but also your previous experience.

So before getting a part-time job while you’re at school, consider what you want to do for the rest of your life.

1.Which of the following is a benefit（好处）of working as a bartender for the author?

A．He had a good time after school.

B．He made connect with many people.

C．He satisfied his curiosity about others.

D．He had learned how to make wine.

2.The underline word “negative” in Paragraph 2 can be replaced by “ _______”.

A．bad

B．same

C．wrong

D．bright

3.The author writes the text mainly to _______.

A．describe his part-time job during his college life

B．tell students to be careful with their part-time jobs

C．convince（使确信）students that bartender is the part-time job

D．advise students to look for their future jobs in the college

(安徽省马鞍山二中2009届高三第四次模拟考试B篇)

The teacher was leaving the village, and everybody seemed sorry. The miller at Cresscombe lent him the small cart（运货车）and horse to carry his goods to Christminster, the city of his destination, such a vehicle proving of quite enough size for the teacher's belongings. For his only article, in addition to the packing-case of books, was a piano that he had bought when he thought of learning instrumental music. But the eagerness having faded, he had never acquired any skill in playing, and the purchased article had been a permanent trouble to him.

The headmaster had gone away for the day, being a man who disliked the sight of changes. He did not mean to return till the evening, when the new teacher would have arrived, and everything would be smooth again.

The blacksmith, the farm bailiff and the teacher were standing in confused attitudes in the sitting room before the instrument. The teacher had remarked that even if he got it into the cart he should not know what to do with it on his arrival at Christminster, since he was only going into a temporary(临时的) place just at first.

A little boy of eleven, who had been assisting in the packing, joined the group of men, and said, ‘Aunt has got a fuel-house, and it could be put there, perhaps, till you’ve found a place to settle in, sir.’

‘Good idea,’ said the blacksmith.

The smith and the bailiff started to see about the possibility of the suggested shelter, and the boy and the teacher were left standing alone.

‘Sorry I am going, Jude?’ asked the latter kindly.

Tears rose into the boy’s eyes. He admitted that he was sorry.

‘So am I,’ said Mr. Phillotson.

‘Why do you go, sir?’ asked the boy.

‘Well—don't speak of this everywhere. You know what a university is, and a university degree? It is the necessary hallmark (标志) of a man who wants to do anything in teaching. My scheme, or dream, is to be a university graduate. By going to live at Christminster, I shall be at headquarters, so to speak, and if my scheme is practicable at all, I consider that being on the spot will afford me a better chance.’

The smith and his companion returned. Old Miss Fawley's fuel-house was practicable; and she seemed willing to give the instrument standing-room there. So it was left in the school till the evening, when more hands would be available for removing it; and the teacher gave a final glance round.

At nine o'clock Mr. Phillotson mounted beside his box of books, and waved his friends good-bye.

60. It seemed that the teacher _____.

A. was not getting on well with the headmaster

B. had lived a rather simple life in the village

C. was likely to continue to practice playing the piano

D. would get help in the city on arriving there

61. The motivation of the teacher’s moving lay in his _____.

A. ambition B. devotion C. admiration D. inspiration

62. The boy named Jude may be described as _____.

A. polite, generous and cheerful B. active, modest and friendly

C. kind, bright and helpful D. calm, confident and humorous

63. In the passage the writer describes both the teacher’s _____.

A. love for music and his dislike for musical instruments

B. hard work in the village and his strong interest in city life

C. friendship with some villagers and also conflicts with others

D. eagerness to go to the city and his love for the village

64. Which person does the underlined “his companion” refer to?

A. Mr. Phillotson B. Miss Fawley C. The bailiff D.The headmaster
