四、阅读理解。
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 a person of great strength. 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.
1. Which of the following is TRUE according to Paragraph 1?
A. Policemen on horseback spend less than those in cars.
B. Policemen on horseback enjoy travelling around the United States.
C. Only a few large American cities have some policemen on horseback.
D. New York is the only city in America to have some policemen on horseback.
2. The underlined phrase “shape a shoe” means .
A. find a horse to fit the shoe
B. draw a picture of a shoe
C. make a shoe like a horse’s foot
D. make a horseshoe in the form of a horse’s foot
3. According to the passage, a blacksmith must be a man.
A. clever B. rich C. strong D. lucky
4. Why did James Corbin become a blacksmith?
①He liked horse.
②He was interested in blacksmithing.
③He had to make a living.
④He was influenced by his father.
A. ①②③ B. ①②④
C. ①③④ D. ②③④
5. What is the best title for the passage?
A. Policemen on Horseback
B. James Corbin, a Blacksmith
C. Blacksmiths and Horseshoes
D. A Good Way to Make a Living
