The New York police have 170 horses working in certain parts of the city. The horses are expensive to feed, but it is even more expensive to look after them. Because the horses must walk on the streets, they need special horseshoes. In fact, they need more than 8,000 of them each year. Every police horse in New York gets new shoes every month. Keeping these shoes in good repair is the job of six blacksmiths. There are only about thirty-five of these 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 or three hours to do the job.A blacksmiths job is not an easy one. He must be able to shape a shoe from a piece of metal and then fit it to the horses foot. The blacksmith must bend over all the time when he is fitting the shoe and must hold the weight of the horses leg while he works. Clearly, a blacksmith must be very strong. But even more important, he must be able to deal with horses-for before the blacksmith can begin 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 makes horseshoes for the police but also works for a group of horse owners near the city. Corbin became interested in blacksmithing because his father did it, and, as he puts it, “Its a good way to make a living.”（1）According to the passage, how many blacksmiths are there in the United States? A . 35B . 8,000C . 170D . 25（2）In the reading passage “to shape a shoe” is to_. A . fit it on the horses footB . use a shoe as a shapeC . make the form of a horseshoe from a piece of metalD . draw a picture of the shoe（3）James Corbin became a blacksmith because he_. A . was good at making horseshoes B . was needed by the policemen and horse ownersC . was interested in blacksmithing because his father did it beforeD . had to make a living（4）Which of the following is true? A . Every police horse in New York gets new shoes every month.B . New York is the only city in America to have policemen on horseback.C . A blacksmith must be very strong because he the horse is very heavy. D . Policemen on horseback are less expensive than those in cars.（5）The best title for the passage is “_”. A . Policemen on HorsebackB . Blacksmiths and HorseshoeingC . James Corbin, a BlacksmithD . Horseshoeing，a Good Way to Make a Living14. （8分）阅读下列短文，然后从A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳答案。(B)Thanksgiving Day is on the fourth Thursday of November in the U.S. and on the second Monday in October in Canada.For many Americans it is the most important (重要的) holiday apart from (除了) Christmas.
