  2. B.
    have been dead; since
  3. C.
    have died; for

试题分析:since在引导时间状语时,后面接时间点;for在引导时间状语时,后面接一段时间。根据下文last May即可断定选B。句意:自从去年五月以来,超过20人死于交通事故。结合语境可知本句描述的是现在已经完成的动作,用现在完成时态。
考点:介词辨析及时态
点评:英语介词的一个特点是一词多义,并且介词间语义交叉现象很多,习惯用法也很多,有时很难从词义上区分开来。故学习中要注意不断总结,熟记一些介词和动词的固定搭配用法及习惯用法,是完成此类问题的捷径。

When I was a boy growing up in New Jersey in the 1960s, we had a milkman delivering milk to our doorstep. His name was Mr. Basille. He wore a white cap and drove a white truck.
Of course, he delivered (分发) more than milk. There was cheese, eggs and so on. If we needed to change our order, my mother would write a note — “Please add a bottle of buttermilk next delivery”. Then she put the note and the empty bottles into the milk box. The next day, the buttermilk would magically appear.
There was also a close relationship between families and their milkmen. Mr. Basille even had a key to our house, for those times when it was so cold outside that we put the box in the house, so that the milk wouldn’t freeze. And I remember Mr. Basille from time to time taking a break at our kitchen table, having a cup of tea and telling stories about his delivery.
I am sad that there is no home milk delivery today. Big companies produce cheaper milk, and milk is for sale everywhere. People may not need the milkman anymore.
Recently, I saw an old milk box in the countryside and it brought back my childhood memories. I took it home and put it outside the door. My son’s friends always ask what it is. So I start telling stories of my boyhood, and of the milkman who brought us friendship with his milk.
【小题1】The milkman delivered milk to family _____ in the old days.

A.by carB.by bikeC.on footD.by truck
【小题2】The writer’s mother put the note _____.
A.into the bottlesB.into the milk box
C.in the kitchenD.in front of the door
【小题3】The writer brought back home an old milk box because he _____.
A.missed the good old days
B.wanted to tell funny stories
C.needed it for his milk bottle
D.wanted to give it to the milkman

New York is one of the last large American cities to have some of its policemen on horseback. 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 shoing 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 blacksmith’s 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 horse’s foot. The blacksmith must bend over all the time when he is fitting the shoe and must hold the weight of the horse’s leg while he works. Clearly, a blacksmith must be very storng. 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 the puts it, “It’s a good way to make a living.”

A.cleverB.richC.strongD.lucky
【小题2】James Corbin became a blacksmith because he__________.
A.was interested in horsesB.was needed by the policemen
C.drew a picture of the horseshoeD.had a make a living
【小题3】In the reading passage “to shape a shoe” is to__________.
A.fit it on the horse’s foot
B.use it for two or three hours
C.make the from of a horseshoe from a piece of metal
D.draw a picture of the shoe
【小题4】The best title for the passage is “__________”.
A.Policemen on HorsebackB.Blacksmiths and Horseshoeing
C.James Corbin, a BlacksmithD.Horseshoeing is a Good Way to Make a Living
【小题5】Which of the following is true?
A.Only a few large American cities have some policemen on horseback.
