Bill Javis took over our village’s news-agency at a time of life when most of us only wanted to relax. He just thought he would like something but not too much to do, and the news-a??gency was ready-made. The business produced little enough for him, but Bill was a man who only wanted the simplicity and order and regularity of the job. He had been a long-serving sailor, and all his life had done everything by the clock.

Every day he opened his shop at 6:00 a. m. to catch the early trade; the papers arrived on his doorstep before that. Many of Bill’s customers were city workers, and the shop was convenient for the station. Business was tailing off by 10 o’clock, so at eleven sharp Bill closed for lunch. It was hard luck on anybody who wanted a paper or magazine in the after??noon, for most likely Bill would be down on the river bank, fishing, and his nearest competitor was five kilometers away. Sometimes in the afternoon, the evening paper landed on the doorway, and at 4 o’clock Bill reopened his shop. The evening rush lasted till seven, and it was worthwhile.

He lived in a flat above the shop, alone. Except in the very bad weather, you always knew where to find him in the af??ternoon, as I have said. Once, on a sunny afternoon, I walked home along the river bank from a shopping trip to the village. By my watch it was three minutes past four, so I was aston??ished to see Bill sitting there on his little chair with a line in the water. He had no luck, I could see, but he was making no effort to move.

“What’s wrong, Bill?” I called out from the path.

For answer, he put a hand in his jacket and took out a big, golden object. For a moment I had no idea what it could be, and then it suddenly went off with a noise like a fire en??gine. Stopping the bell, Bill held the thing up and called back, “Ten to four, you see, and this is dead right.”

I had never known anyone carrying a brass alarm clock round with him before.

Bill Javis became a news-agent when _______.

A. he needed the money      

B. he was quite an old man

C. he decided to take up fishing  

D. he gave up clock-repairing

Bill opened the shop so early in the day because _______.

A. he liked to do as much as possible before he went to work

B. the shop had to be open when the morning papers came

C. he was never sure of time

D. it was then that he did a lot of business

From the information given in the passage, who or what do you think was wrong?

A. The bell was－it must have gone off at the wrong time.

B. Bill was－h(huán)e had dropped off to sleep.

C. The writer’s watch was－it was fast.

D. Bill’s clock was－it was old.

Frank Woolworth was born in Rodman, New York, in 1852. His family were very poor farmers, and there was never enough to eat. Frank did not want to be a farmer. He took a short business course, and went to work as a salesman in a large city.

   Woolworth realized he had a natural skill for showing goods to attract people’s interest, but he soon learned something more important. One day his boss told him to sell some odds and ends（小商品）for as much as he could get. Frank put all these things on one table with a sign which said “FIVE CENTS EACH’. People fought and pushed to buy the things and the table was soon cleared.

    Soon afterwards, Woolworth opened his own store, selling goods at five and ten cents. But he had another lesson to learn before he became successful. That is, if you want to make money by selling low-price goods, you have to buy them in large quantities directly from the factories. Once, for example, Woolworth went to Germany and placed an order for knives. The order was so large that the factory had to keep running 24 hours a day for a whole year. In this way, the price of the knives was cut down by half.

    By 1919, Woolworth had over 1000 stores in the US and Canada, and opened his first store in London. He made many millions and his name became famous throughout the world. He always ran his business according to strict rules, of which the most important was : ‘THE CUSTOMER IS ALWAYS RIGHT.”

1.Frank took a short business course in order to __________.

   A. earn more money for his family   B. learn something from a salesman

   A. he knew how to get people to buy his goods

   B. he cut down the price by half

   C. he had put the goods on a table in a very nice way

   D. the sign he put on the table was well designed

3.The price of the knives was cut down by half because _________.

   A. the factory workers worked 24 hours a day

   B. knives were ordered in large quantities directly from the factory

   C. the knives were made in German, where labour was cheap

   D. the knives were produced in one factory

4.__________  make Woolworth a world-famous man.

   A. His business skills and his wealth  

B. The low price of the goods he sold

   C. His trip to Germany and his huge order of knives

   D. His natural skill for showing things

5.The belief that “The customer is always right” suggests that __________.

   A. whenever there is a quarrel between the customer and shop assistant, the customers are always right.

   B. If you want to succeed, the rule is the only way

   C. stores must always follow the customer’s orders if they want to make more money

   D. stores should do their best to meet the customer’s needs if they want to be successful

科目：高中英語 來源：2010-2011學(xué)年廣東省高三開學(xué)初模擬考試英語試題（十一） 題型：閱讀理解

The use of the word imitation（模仿） reminds me that we ought to make some more comments on the risk of people imitating what they see on the screen in the way of crime（犯罪） or violence. First there was always a risk of children acting out scenes which could be dangerous. For example, I remember a woman who was head of a middle school telling me that she had happened to look out of her window when the children were on the playground and had seen them putting a small boy on a chair with a rope round his neck and the rope over the branch of a tree; fortunately she was in time to get there before the child was hanged. I remember a film in particular in which the hero who was imprisoned had escaped by electrocuting（通電觸死） his guard, the technique of doing this being shown in detail. This was the kind of scene which we could cut for these reasons.

In films for young people and adults we always tried to keep off the screen the details of criminal techniques, such as how to open a locked door with a piece of hard plastic or how to open a safe; if we were consulted（請(qǐng)教） before production, I used to advise that the details should not be shown. When I gave talks in prisons about film checking I had full support for this, since fathers who were in prison for criminal offences did not want their children to get on crime.

Every time I gave a talk in a prison someone used to mention the French film Rififi. made by Jules Dassin in 1954. This remarkable film showed in great detail a robbery of a jeweler’s shop, the robbery lasting about half an hour and being backed by only natural sound...one of the most brilliant film sequences（連續(xù)鏡頭） of all time. I remember our discussion at the time. We thought that the robbery was finished only with the use of advanced and obviously expensive equipment and that only the most experienced and skilled criminals could possibly imitate it; we believed therefore that it was relatively safe. When talking in prisons some years later I learned that there had been several robberies in which the techniques had been copied, so perhaps we were wrong.

31. The writer thinks that____________.

A. the details of the criminal technique should be kept

B. the details of the crime should not be shown on the screen

C. children should not imitate what they see on the screen

D. it is dangerous to imitate what they see on the screen

32. What is the writer’s attitude（態(tài)度） towards the film in which the hero had escaped by electrocuting the guard?

A. The writer likes it very much.

B. The writer is strongly against it.

C. The writer thinks the film has some value.

D. The writer does not show his/her attitude.

33. Parents in prison agreed to film checking because______.

A. they did not want their children to follow them

B. the crime on screen could be imitated without difficulty

C. they had given a talk on it

D. they had made mistakes

34 .All the following statements about“Rififi”are true EXCEPT______.

A. that the robbery shown needs experience and skills

B. that some very good tools were used in the robbery

C. that the film showed the technique in detail

D. that the technique of the robbery was not imitated

35. It can be inferred from the passage that______.

A. it is hard for children to tell the differences between real life and the imaginary

B. only people in prison support film checking

C. only children imitate what they have seen on the screen

D. the writer used to advise the details of crime should be shown
