第二部分阅读理解 （共两节, 满分40分）
第一节 （共15小题;每小题2分, 满分30分）
阅读下列短文 , 从每题所给的四个选项 （A 、B 、C 和 D ）中 , 选出最佳选项 , 并在
题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
The mail carriers of the 17th century used trade and shipping routes to move correspondence. Mail moved, although slowly, around the planet in the 1600s even though the first stamps would not be issued for another 200 years.
What is known today as the post office began as a simple messaging system. Royal pages carried letters of correspondence between the English king and the royal court. In 1626, this service was extended to include the large port of Plymouth. This network soon extended to other cities. In 1635, King Charles Ⅰ officially extended the use of “royal mail” to the general public.
The British Royal mail was reorganized into the Postal Service in 1660. Henry Bishop was the first postmaster general and in 1661 introduced the first postmark, which came to be known as the Bishop’s Mark. This was not just a way to record the date and time of the mail. It was a way of ensuring that letter carriers were on time and letters did not go missing due to laziness.
Colonial trade and merchant ships were also used to move mail. Letters typically took months to reach their destinations. This type of mail was not a public system that anyone could use. Trade ships were privately owned by a commercial company or commissioned(使服役) by a royal order.
Although there was no public post office or mail-carrying service in the United States until 1775, mail carriers were employed to deliver correspondence from the colonials to imperial England in the 1600s. Colonial settlers wanted to try to keep in touch with the Old Country, and it was important that economic, military and political information continue to move across the ocean.
21. We can infer from Para. 1 that the first stamps appeared in ______.
A. the 18th century B. the 1900s C. the 17th century D. the 1800s
22. One of the purposes of the postmark is to______.
A. reorganize the British Royal mail B. remember Henry Bishop
C. hurry mail carriers D. replace stamps
23. Which of the following is TRUE?
A. Royal mail was just for the rich before 1635.
B. Common people couldn’t use the trade mail system.
C. The British Royal mail first opened to the public in 1626.
D. The Postal Service started earlier in the US than in the UK.
24. “The Old Country” in the last paragraph refers to______.
A. the home of native Americans B. the underdeveloped country
C. the earliest colony D. imperial England
B
Passion equals success
My dad once said to me, “Choose a job you love, and you will never work a day in your life.” I believe that if someone has a passion for their job they will be more successful. Although I do well in math, I always have a passion for law-related fields. Law first sparked my interest when I was younger, and I used to watch television shows relating to law. As I get older, my teachers are constantly telling me I need to start thinking about my future. The only thing I can see myself as is a lawyer.
I decided to do some research on the job. Last summer, I had a one-day job as a District Attorney’s assistant. I got to spend a day in the life of a lawyer. I was taken to the office and had to read over some of the cases to familiarize myself with them. I was given an enormous pile of packets to read. I wondered how I could possibly get done reading them in one day. But when I started reading them, I suddenly became more interested in the way the legal system worked. So I flew through the papers in a little amount of time.
After that, I had to go back to the room called central court, where the judge was and get ready for clients(委托人) to come in. The clients started coming into the room. Then I had to call them up to the stand where the judge and I were. I then had to present what they were accused of, and then I had to let the lawyers battle it out until they came to the conclusion on what they were going to sentence the criminal to.
Throughout my long day, I finally came to the conclusion that this is the job I want to pursue. I am sure that I will become a successful lawyer.
25. What does the author want to be in the future?
A. A math teacher. B. A lawyer.
C. A science researcher. D. A TV show host.
26. What made the author finish reading the papers in a short time?
A. His interest in law. B. His curiosity about cases.
C. His hard work. D. His parents’ encouragement.
27. What did the author mainly do in central court?
A. He led clients into the court room.
B. He judged a lot of cases by himself.
C. He told clients about their accusations.
D. He sentenced the criminal to death.
28. What can we infer from the passage?
A. The author’s father is a successful lawyer.
B. The author hated the experience in court.
C. The author is doubtful about his future job.
D. The author hasn’t graduated from school.
C

You are the collector in the gallery of your life. You collect. You might not mean to but you do. One out of three people collects tangible(有形的) things such as cats, photos and noisy toys.
There are among some 40 collections that are being shown at “The Museum Of” — the first of several new museums which, over the next two years, will exhibit the objects accumulated(积累) by unknown collectors. In doing so, they will promote a popular culture of museums, not what museums normally represent.
Some of the collections are fairly common — records, model houses. Others are strangely beautiful — branches that have fallen from trees, for example. But they all reveal(显露) a lot of things: ask someone what they collect and their answers will tell you who they are.
Others on the way include “The museum of Collectors” and “The Museum of Me”. These new ones, it is hoped, will build on the success of “The Museum Of”. The thinkers behind the project want to explore why people collect, and what it means to do so. They hope that visitors who may not have considered themselves collectors will begin to see they, too, collect.
Some collectors say they started or stopped making collections at some important point: the beginning or end of adolescence — “it’s a growing-up thing; you stop when you grow up,” says one. Other painful times are mentioned, such as the end of a relationship. For time and life can seem so uncontrollable that a steady serial(顺序排列的) arrangement is comforting.
33. How will the new museums promote a popular culture of museums?
A. By collecting more tangible things.
B. By showing what ordinary people have collected.
C. By correcting what museums normally represent.
D. By accumulating 40 collections two years from now.
34. What can be learned about collectors from their collections?
A. Who they are. B. How old they are.
C. Where they were born. D. Why they might not mean to collect.
35. According to the last paragraph, people may stop collecting when they
A. become adults B. feel happy with life
C. are ready for a relationship D. feel time to be uncontrollable

Hi worried:
I’m sorry to know that you’re having such a had time at the moment. The truth is everyone will have one of those periods when things seem to be going wrong, so you don’t have to worry so much. The important thing is to learn to control your temper so that you may not do or say anything you’ll regret. Here are three useful tips:
First, talk to someone you trust about how you feel. This is a good way of letting your anger out
without hurting others or yourself. Second, go outdoors and play team games with your friends as physical exercise is an effective way to get rig of anger. And third, remain optimistic about your future. Such a positive attitude towards lift can be helpful in lifting your spirits.
I hope you’ll soon feel calmer and carry on as normal.
Yours,
Jamie
