I can’t say don’t do this and do that, because everything is different and I don’t know what is going to come up. I can’t help much with money either, but I think things will work out. ”‎ ‎ He gave me a new check-book. “If things get pushing, write a small check. But when you write one, send me a letter and let me know how much. There are some things we can always sell.” In four years all the checks I wrote were less than a thousand dollars. My part-time jobs such as reading to the blind student and sitting with the teachers’ kids filled in the financial gaps.‎ ‎ “You know what you want to be, and they’ll tell you what to take,” my father went on. “When you get a job, be sure it’s honest, and work hard.” I knew that soon I would be alone in the big town, and I would be missing the cool winds and a life where your thinking was done for you.‎ ‎ Then my dad reached down beside his seat and brought the old, broken Bible that he had read so often, the one he used when he wanted to look something up in a friendly quarrel with one of the neighbours. I knew he would miss it. I knew, though, that I must take it.‎ ‎ He didn’t tell me to read this every morning. He just said, “This can help you if you will let it.”Did it help?

When I took him my shoes, he at first told me: “I haven't time. Take them to the other fellow on the main  street ; he'll fix them for you right away.” ‎ ‎     But I'd had my eye on his shop for a long time. Just looking at his bench loaded with tools and pieces of leather, I knew he was a skilled craftsman  (手艺人).  “No,” I replied, “the other fellow can't do it well.”‎ ‎      “The other fellow” was one of those shopkeepers who fix shoes and make keys “while-U-wait”— without knowing much about mending shoes or making keys. They work carelessly, andwhen they have finished sewing back a sandal strap (鞋带) you might as well just throw away the pair.‎ ‎      My man saw I wouldn't give in, and he smiled. He wiped his hands on his blue apron ( 围裙), looked at my shoes, had me write my name on one shoe with a piece of chalk and said,“Come back in a week.”‎ ‎      I was about to leave when he took a pair of soft leather boots off a shelf.‎ ‎      “See what I can do?” he said with pride. “Only three of us in Paris can do this kind of work.. ”‎ ‎      When I got back out into the street, the world seemed brand-new to me. He was something out of an ancient legend, this old craftsman with his way of speaking familiarly, his very strange,dusty felt hot, his funny accent from who-knows-where and, above all, his pride in his craft.‎ ‎      These are times when nothing is important but the bottom line, when you can do things any old way as long as it “pays”, when, in short, people look on work as a path to ever-increasing consumption  (消费) rather than a way to realize their own abilities. In such a period it is a rare comfort to find a shoemaker who gets his greatest satisfaction from pride in a job well done.‎ ‎( )66. Which of the following is true about the old shoemaker?‎ ‎    A. He was equipped with the best repairing tools. B. He was the only shoemaker in the Marais.‎ ‎    C. He was proud of his skills. D. He was a native Parisian.‎ ‎( )67.The sentence “He was something out of an ancient legend.” implies that       .‎ ‎     A. nowadays you can hardly find anyone like him ‎     B. it was difficult to communicate with this man ‎     C. the man was very strange D. the man was too old ‎( )68. According to the author, many people work just to            .‎ ‎     A. realize their abilities B. gain happiness C. make money D. gain respect ‎( )69. This story wants to tell us that .‎ ‎     A. craftsmen make a lot of money B. whatever you do, do it well ‎     C. craftsmen need self-respect D. people are born equal ‎( )70.The best title of the story is .‎ ‎ A.My greatest satisfaction B.Mending shoes C.Never give in D.An old craftsman  答案 ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ 第二卷（非选择题，共35分）‎ 五、词与短语填空（本题共10分，每小题2分）‎ ‎ 先阅读短文，然后用下面方框中所给的单词或短语填空，使全文在逻辑上正确。（提示：选项中有一个是多余的。）‎ including / spend / cost / unless / expensive/ the liveliest ‎ For your next vacation, why not consider visiting Paris? Paris is the capital of France and is one of 71 cities in Europe.It doesnt have any beaches or mountains, but there are still many things to do there. For example, it has some fantastic sights, 72 the Eiffel Tower and Nortre Dame Cathedral, one of the most famous churches in the world.‎ ‎ Traveling around Paris by taxi can 73 a lot of money, but its usually quite convenient to take the underground train to most places. In general, though, France is quite an expensive place. One thing that is not 74 in France, however, is the wine!‎ ‎ Most people in France have learned English.
