New York is one of the last large American cities to have some of its policemen on horseback. The New York police have some horses working in certain parts of the city. It is expensive to feed the horses, but it is even more expensive to take care of them. Because the horses must walk on the streets, they need special horseshoes. In fact, they need many shoes each year. Every police horse in New York gets new shoes every month. Keeping these shoes in good repair is the job of blacksmiths (铁匠). There are not many blacksmiths in the whole United States.
The cost of shoeing a horse is between twenty dollars and thirty-five dollars, and it takes a good blacksmith two to three hours to do the job.
A blacksmith’s job is not an easy one. He must be able to shape a shoe out of a piece of metal (金属) and then fit it to the horse’s foot. The blacksmith must bend (弯腰) over all the time when he is fitting the shoe and must hold the weight of the horse’s leg while he works. Clearly, a blacksmith must be very strong. But even more importantly, before the blacksmith begins his work, he has to get the horse to lift its leg.
One of the blacksmiths in New York is James Corbin. He came to the country from Ireland in 1948. He not only made horseshoes for the police but also worked for a group of horse owners near the city. Corbin became interested in blacksmithing because his father did it, and besides, he did this job because he had to make a living.
41．Which of the following is TRUE
A．Only a few large American cities have some policemen on horseback.
B．New York is the only city in America to have some policemen on horseback.
C．Policemen on horseback enjoy travelling around the United States.
D．Policemen on horseback spend less than those in cars.
42．In the text, the underlined phrase “shape a shoe” means _______.
A．fitting it to a horse`s foot B．using it for two or three hours
C．making the shape of a horseshoe D．drawing a picture of a shoe
43．According to the text, a blacksmith must be a _______ man.
A．clever B．rich C．strong D．lucky
44．James Corbin became a blacksmith because he ________.
A．was interested in horses B．was needed by the policemen
C．drew a picture of the horseshoes D．had to make a living
45．The best title for the text is “________”.
A．Policemen on horseback B．Blacksmiths and horseshoes

第一部分 选择题
一、单项选择
1．C
【详解】句意：朱莉在离开大学后嫁给了加里。
考查时态和连词。for因为；since自从；after在……之后。marry嫁，是短暂性动词，since引导的时间状语从句，主句应用延续性动词，因此排除B选项；be married to sb“嫁给某人”，是固定短语，不与with连用，故排除D选项；for作连词，表示“因为”，在此处不符合语境，因此排除A选项；C选项after表示“在离开大学后”符合句意，且主句是一般过去时，谓语动词用过去式married。故选C。
2．D
【详解】句意：简，你已经看过电影《哪吒》了吗？你什么时候看的？

五、完成句子
46．sent
【详解】句意：科学家已经发射宇宙飞船去火星拍照。send“发送”，动词；此句时态为现在完成时，其结构为“have/has done”，空前为have，空处应用sent。故填sent。
47．has cleaned
【详解】句意：我妈妈已经擦过窗户了，所以房间看起来明亮多了。根据“already”和“the room looks much brighter”可知，动作发生在过去，但对现在有影响，因此使用现在完成时，结构为have/has done。主语为第三人称单数的My mother，助动词用has；clean“清理”，动词，过去分词为cleaned。故填has cleaned。
48．shook
【详解】句意：他们礼貌地握了握手，然后离开了。根据“and went away”可知，句子描述的是过去发生的事情，因此需要使用一般过去时。动词“shake”的过去式是“shook”，在句子中作谓语，表示过去的动作。故填shook。
49．married
【详解】句意：Lucy在2000年与John结婚，从那时起他们一直过着幸福的生活。marry结婚，动词，根据“in 2000 ”可知，时态是一般过去时，动词用过去式。故填married。
50．provided
【详解】句意：中国政府上个月为斯里兰卡提供了帐篷和药品。根据汉语提示和“...tents and medicine for Sri Lanka...”可知，provide sth. for...“为……提供某物”，结合“last month”可知，时态为一般过去时，动词使用过去式。故填provided。
51．have made
【详解】句意：我已经多次表明我不会放弃这个计划。根据“it clear many times that I won’t give up the plan.”可知，此处说的是过去已经完成的事情，应用现在完成时：have/has done，主语I为第一人称，应用have，make的过去分词为made。故填have made。
52．succeeded
【详解】句意：比尔很高兴，因为他在昨天的数学考试中成功了。主句“Bill was very happy”使用了一般过去时，因此原因状语从句的时态需保持一致，也用一般过去时，动词用过去式，故填succeeded。
53．playing
【详解】句意：汤姆不应该每天花很多时间玩电脑游戏。 spend some time doing sth表示“做某事花费时间”。故填playing。
54．took
【详解】句意：杰克两天前乘火车去北京了，他很快就会回来。根据“two days ago”可知，句子时态为一般过去时，描述过去发生的动作。所以此处应填take的过去式。故填took。
55．(c)hose

六、短文首字母填空
56．dreamed/dreamt of/about becoming
【详解】根据中英文对照可知，空处缺少“梦到变成了”。dream of/ about表示“梦到”，根据“last night”可知，句子的时态为一般过去时，所以dream要用过去式dreamed或dreamt；become“变成”，其前有介词，所以become要用动名词形式。故填dreamed/ dreamt；of/ about；becoming。

59．got a chance to
【详解】根据句意可知，此处表示“得到机会去做某事”，可以用“get a chance to do sth”表示；由时间状语“last year”可知，句子时态是一般过去时，动词用过去式。故填got；a；chance；to。
60．hid his tail
【详解】根据中英文对照可知，英文句子缺少“把他的尾巴藏起来”，hide意为“隐藏”，根据became可知，时态是一般过去时，所以hide要变成过去式hid；his tail“他的尾巴”。故填hid his tail。
