三、Reading Comprehension(30 points,2 points for each)(总题数：3，分数：30.00)
Passage One Prince was an intelligent dog and a slave to Williams. From morning till night, when Williams was at home, Prince never left his sight. The dog had a number of clearly defined duties, for which Williams had patiently trained him and, like the good pupil he was, Prince lived for the chance to demonstrate his abilities. When Williams wanted to put on his boots, he would murmur“Boots”and within conds the dog would drop them at his feet. At nine every morning Prince ran off to the general store in the village, returning shortly not only with Williams daily paper but also with a halfounce packet of Williams favorite tobacco. A gundog by breed, Prince possd a large soft mouth specially evolved for the safe carrying of hunted creatures, so the paper and the tobacco came to no harm, never even showing a tooth mark. Williams was a railway man, and he wore a blue uniform that smelled of oil fuel. He had to work at odd times,“da
ys,”“late days”or“nights.”Over the years Prince got to know the periods of work and rest, and knew when his master would leave the hou and return. If Williams overslept, Prince barked at the bedroom door until he woke, much to the annoyance of the family. A curious thing happened to Williams during the snow and ice of last winter. One evening he slipped and fell on the icy pavement somewhere between the village and his home. He was so badly shaken that he stayed in bed for three days; and not until he got up and dresd again did he discover that he had lost his wallet. The hou was turned upside down in the arch, but the wallet was not found. Two days later, Prince dropped the wallet into Williams hand. Very muddy, stained and wet through, the little ca still contained fiftythree pounds, his driving licen and a few other papers. No one could tell where the dog had found it. Perhaps he had found it by the faint oily smell on the worn leather. （分数：10.00）

Passage Two In 1945, Reuben, a 12yearold boy, saw something in a shop window that t his heart racing. The price—five dollars—was beyond his means, but he went inside the shop anyway. Standing proud and straight in his floursack(面粉袋)shirt and washedout trours, he asked the shopkeeper to hold it for him for some time. “Ill try,”the shopkeeper smiled. Reuben decided to rai the five dollars. Hearing the sound of hammering from a side street, he suddenly had an idea. People built their own homes in
Bay Roberts, using nails purchad in sacks from a local factory. The sacks were sometimes discarded and Reuben knew he could ll them back to the factory for five cents a piece. Every day after school, Reuben went around the town, collecting nail sacks. When the school clod for the summer, Reuben wandered around the town, arching for his treasures. Often he was tired and hungry, but the thought of the object in the shop window kept him going. Sometimes his mother Dora would ask:“Reuben, where were you? We were waiting for you to have dinner.” “Playing, Mum. Sorry.” Dora would look at his face and shake her head. Boys. One day in spring, he counted the coins and found that he needed 20 cents more. Could there be any sacks left anywhere in town? He had to find four and ll them before the day ended. When Reuben arrived at the factory in the late afternoon, the sack buyer was about to lock up.“Mister! Plea dont clo up yet.”The man turned and saw Reuben, dirty and sweatstained. With four more coins in his pocket, Reuben headed for the shop and got what he wanted. Racing home, he burst through the front door.“Here, Mum! Here!”He exclaimed as he ran to her side. He placed a small box in her workroughened hand. Dora unwrapped it carefully, to save t
he paper. A bluevelvet jewel box appeared. She lifted the lid and saw an almondshaped brooch (胸针) with the word“Mother.” It was Mothers Day, 1946. Dora had no jewels except her wedding ring. Speechless, she smiled radiantly and gathered her son into her arms. （分数：10.00）

Passage Three Basic to any understanding of Canada in the 20 years after the Second World War is the countrys impressive population growth. For every three Canadians in 1945, there were over five in 1966. In September 1966 Canadas population pasd the 20 million mark. Most of this surging growth came from natural increa. The depression of the 1930s and the war had held back marriages, and the catchingup process began after 1945. The baby boom(出生高峰期)continued through the decade of the 1950s, producing a population increa of nearly fifteen percent in the five years from 1951 to 1956. This rate of increa had been exceeded only once before in Canadas history, in the decade before 1911, when the prairies were being ttled. Undoubtedly, the good economic conditions of the 1950s supported a growth in the population, but the expansion was also the result of earlier marriages and an increa in the average size of families. In 1957 the Canadian birth rate stood at 28 per thousand, one of the highest in the world. After the peak year of 1957, the birth rate in Canada began to decline. It continued falling until 1966. Partly this decline reflected changes in Canadian society. You
ng people were staying at school longer; more women were working; young married couples were buying automobiles or hous before starting families; and rising living standards were cutting down the size of families. It appeared that Canada was once more falling into step with the trend toward smaller families that had occurred all through the Western world since the time of the Industrial Revolution. Although the growth in Canadas population had slowed down by 1966, another large population wave was coming over the horizon. It would be compod of the children who were born during the period of the high birth rate prior to 1957. （分数：10.00）
