32、was an intelligent animal and a slave to Williams. From morning till night, when Williams was at home, Prince never left his sight, practically ignoring all other members of the family. The dog had a number of clearly defined duties, for which Williams had patiently trained him an d, like the good p

33、upil he was, Prince lived for the cha nee to dem on strate his abilities.When Williams wan ted to put on his boots, he would murmur “ Boots ” and withi n sec onds the dog would drop them at his feet.

34、ly with Williams' daily paper but with a halfounce packet ofWilliams' favorite tobacco, Joh n Rhi ney's Mixed. A gun dog by breed, Prince possessed a large soft mouth specially evolved for the safe carry ing of hun ted creatures, so the paper and the tobacco came to no harm, n ever eve n

35、 show ing a tooth mark.Williams was a railwayman, an engine driver, and he wore a blue uniform which smelled of oil and oil fuel. He had to work at odd times “days” , "late days” or "nights” . Over the years Prince got to know these periods of work and rest, knew when his master would leav

36、e the house and retur n, and the dog did not waste this kno wledge. If Williams overslept, as he ofte n did, Prince barked at the bedroom door until he woke, much to the annoyance of the family. On his北京學(xué)校Beijing SchoolI JCDF'.CfMIreturnn, Williams' slippers were brought to him, the paper an

37、d tobacco too if previously un delivered.A curious thing happe ned to Williams duri ng the snow and ice of last win ter. One evening he slipped and fell on the icy pavement somewhere between the village and his home. He was so badly shake n that he stayed in bed for three days; and not un til he got

38、 up and dressed aga in did he discover that he had lost his wallet containing over fifty poun ds. The house was tur ned upside dow n in the search, but the wallet was not found. However, two days later that was five days after the fall Prince dropped the wallet into William's hand. Very muddy, s

39、tained and wet through, the little case still contained fifty three pounds, Williams' driving license and a few other papers. Where the dog had found it no one could tell, but found it he had and recog ni zed it probably by the faint oily smell on the worn leather.46. How did the dog perform his

40、 duties?A He was delighted to show them off.B He did his best but was not often successful.C He did them quickly to get them over.D He had few opport un ities to do them.47.

44、affected in this manner. There are differe nt forms of colour bli ndn ess. A man may not be able to see deep red.He may think that red, orange and yellow are all shades of gree n. Sometimes a pers on cannot tell the differe nee betwee n blue and gree n. In rare cases an uni ucky man may see everythi

45、 ng in shades of gree na stra nge world in deed.In certa in occupati ons colour bli ndn ess can be dan gerous and can didates are tested most carefully. For example, when fighting at night, soldiers use lights of flares to signal to each other. A green light may mean “ Adva nee ” and a red light may

46、 mean “ Dan ger! Keep back! ”, You can see what will happe n if somebody thinks that red is gree n! Colour bli ndn ess in huma n beings is a stra nge thing to explain. In a single eye there are millions of very small things called“ cones”, These helpto see in a bright light and to tell the differenc

47、e between colours. There are also millions of “ rods” but these are used for seeing when it is nearly dark. They show us shape but not colour. Wait until it is dark toni ght, the n go outside. Look round you and try to see what colors you can recog ni ze.Birds and ani mals which hunt at ni ght have

48、eyes which contain few or no cones at all, so they cannot see colours. As far as we know, bats and adult owls cannot see colours at all only light and dark shapes. Similarly cats and dogs cannot see colours as well as we can.In sects can see ultraviolet rays which are in visible to us, and some of t

49、hem can even see Xrays. The wings of a moth may seem grey and dull to us, but to in sects they may appear beautiful, show ing colours which we cannot see. Scien tists know that there are other colours around usf XDF'.CfWIwhich in sects can see but which we cannot see. Some in sects have favorite

50、 colours. Mosquitoes like blue, but do no t like yellow. A red light will not attract in sects but a blue lamp will.51. Among people who suffer from colour bli ndn ess,.A :some may see everyth ing in shades of gree nB :few can tell the difference between blue and greenc :few may thi nk that red, ora

51、nge and yellow are all shades of gree nD :very few may think that everything in the world is in green52. When millions of rods in our eyes are at work in darkness we can see.A:colours onlyB :shapes and coloursc :shapes onlyD :dark ness only53. Accord ing to the passage, bats and adult owls cannot se

52、e colours.A:because they hunt at ni ghtB :because they cannot see lightc :because they have no cones and rodsD :because they have no cones54. Accord ing to the passage, dogs and cats.A:as well as huma n beings can not see some coloursB :have fewer cones tha n huma n beingsc :have less rods tha n hum

53、a n beingsD :can see colours as well as huma n beings55.
