thought he would like something but not too much to do, and the news-agency 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 bills customers were city workers, and the shop was convenient for the station. business was tailing off by 10 oclock, so at eleven sharp bill closed for lunch. it was hard luck on anybody who wanted a paper or magazine in the afternoon, for most likely bill would be down on the river bank, fishing, and his neatest 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 ship, alone. except in the very bad weather, you always knew where to find him in the afternoon, 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 astonished 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.“whats 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 engine. 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.1. bill javis became a news-agent when _.a. he need the money. b. he decided to take things easyc. he was quite an old man d. he gave up clock-repairing2. bill opened the shop so

to relax和he had been a long-serving sailor这两点说明他已上了年纪。2. d 推断题。第二段开头说他6点开门，报纸在这之前已送到，而且还可以catch the early trade。3. a 推断题。bill通常4点会重新开店，而那天作者的表已过4点，bill还没有离开的意思，所以他非常惊讶。4. c 细节题。a项中go off是爆发，产生很大声音；b项中drop off to sleep是不知不觉入睡；文章中倒数第二段最后一句话this is dead right 中dead是“非常，完全”的意思，可见，bill的clock没错。【由安徽省合肥市2014高考模拟题改编】阅读下列短文, 从给的四个选项 (a、b、c和d) 中, 选出最佳选项。 when i decided to quit my job as a

email after email i sent to publications, trying to get work, went unanswered. when they did get in touch, editors told me that i had no chance of making a career with travel photography. while i
