to receiving mail on saturdays may soon be disappointed. in order to cut costs, postmaster general john potter has suggested reducing mail delivery by one day per week.from 2008 to 2009. the amount of mail in the united states dropped by nearly 26 billon pieces. the main reasons for the decline (下降) have nothing to do with bad weather or barking dogs. in the internet age, many people are choosing e-mail over writing letters. they are paying bills online instead of mailing checks (支票).the weak economy and serious competition from private carriers, such as fedex and ups, have also led to the decline. as a result, the postal service lost $ 3.8 billion last year. on march 2, postal delivered more bad news: without major changes, the postal service may lose $ 238 billion over the next 10 years.not everyone is for the idea.” saturday is an important delivery day,” jason chaffetz told the washington post. instead of cutting saturday service, chaffetz suggests creating postal “holidays” on the slowest delivery days each year. he says that cutting saturday service will delay important deliveries, such as medicines. and people without computers dont have the choice of paying bills online.supporters of the plan say it is a difficult but important step. the postal service projects that cutting one day of deliveries per week could save $ 3.5 billion per year. many americans are behind the new postal plan. in a 2009 gallup poll, 66 percent of people surveyed said they were for reducing delivery from six days to five to help the postal service balance its budget (开支). some supporters say getting used to a new delivery schedule would not be a problem for most people. they also say that people who need saturday delivery could use private carriers.51. the u.s. postal service cancels saturdays delivery to . a. reduce regular mails b. cut down expense c. give carriers enough time to rest d. improve its service52. the amount of mail in the us declined from 2008 to 2009 because of all the following except . a. bad weather b. hot competition c. the poor economy d. the development of the internet53. according to the passage, jason chaffetz . a. has no computers at home b. is complaining about slow delivery of the postal servicec. is disappointed about cutting saturday serviced. insists the postal service deliver mail every day54. we can learn from the last paragraph that . a. reducing delivery from six days to five doesnt make much difference b. few americans are for the new postal plan of the postal service c. few people are willing to use private carriers in the us d. a lot of people are wishing the postal service a good future b a group of european researchers from eindhoven university of technology (tu/e) are working hard to connect robots with homes. the robots will make sure that homes are nice places to stay and that patients do the right things.this recently started research project, which has been named ksera, focuses on copd ( 慢性阻塞性肺病 ) patients. in 2030 this disease will be the third cause of death worldwide. the disease especially affects the elderly.in three yearstime several demonstration ( 示范 ) houses should be finished, where a robot will play the central role. it follows patients through the house, learns their habits, watches them closely, gives sound advice, turns the air conditioning up or down a bit, and warns a doctor when the patient is not feeling well. besides, the robot also provides fun in the form of the internet and videos. “we want to show what is possible in this area,” says project manager dr. lydia meesters.the tu/e researcher says that this new type of intelligent care house will not be a cold environment. it should be as homely as possible. in an ideal situation the only technology you see will be the robot. it will be the contact for all the systems in the homes.ethical issues ( 道德问题 ) will also be given special focus. the robot must give good advice to patients, but it should not be a policeman, meesters explains. what to do, for example, when a copd patient lights a cigarette?the project will cost almost 4 million euros, 2.9 million of which will be provided by the eu. other parties are the italian research center institute superiore mario boella, vienna university of technology , hamburg university, the italian ict company consoft, the central european institute of technology in vienna and the israelicare provider maccabi healthcare services.55. ksera is mainly for . a. the sick at home b. children at home c. the elderly in hospital d. scientists in the lab56. paragraph 3 mainly tells us that robots . a. can do many things b. are stronger than men c. are better than doctors d. can make the best home57. how many parties offered money to ksera? a. five. b. six. c. seven. d. eight.58. according to the passage, the robots will . a. be put into production very soon b. be popular with the copd patients c. make a home feel cold d. act as a policemanc thedoctorscall there was ice on the road, and the doctors car hit a tree and turned over three times. to his surprise, he was not hurt. he got out of the car and walked to the nearest house. he wanted to telephone the garage ( 汽车修理站 ) for help. the door was opened by one of his patients. “oh, doctor.” she said, “i have only just telephoned you, you must have a very fast car. you have got here very quickly indeed. there has been a very bad accident in the road outside. i saw it through the window. i am sure the driver will need your help.”59. where was the doctor going in his

accident. d. she was alarmed (惊慌的) at seeing the doctor in a bad state after the accident. d never go into a supermarket hungry! this is a good piece of advice. if you go shopping for food before lunchtime, youll probably buy more than you plan to. unfortunately, however, just this advice isnt enough for consumers these days. modern shoppers need an education in how and how not to buy things at the store. first, you check the weekly newspaper ads. find out the items that are on sale and decide if you really need these things. in other words, dont buy anything just because its cheaper than usual! “new and improved!” or “all natural” on the front of a package influence you. instead, read the list of ingredients(contents) on the back. third, compare prices: that is, you should examine the prices of both different brands and different sizes of the same brand.another suggestion for consumers is to buy ordinary items instead of famous brands. ordinary items in supermarkets come in plain packages. these products are cheaper because producers dont spend much money on packing or advertising. the quality, however, is usually as good as the quality of well-known name brands. in the same way, in buying clothes, you can often find high quality and low prices in brands that are not famous. shopping in discount clothing stores can help you save a lot of money. although these stores arent very attractive, and they usually do not have individual dressing rooms, not only are the prices low, but you can often find the same famous brands that you find in high-priced department stores.wise consumers read magazine ads and watch tv commercials, but they do this with one advantage: knowledge of the psychology（心理学） behind the ads. in other words, well-informed consumers watch for information and check for misinformation. they ask themselves questions: is the advertiser hiding something in small print at the bottom of the page? is there any real information in the commercial, or is the advertiser simply showing an attractive image? with the answers to these questions, consumers can make a wise choice.63. all the following statements are true about the phrase “ordinary items” in paragraph 2 except _.a. ordinary items never say “new and improved” or “all natural”b. ordinary products are usually cheaper than famous brandsc. producers spend less money on packaging of ordinary itemsd. the quality of ordinary items is usually as good as that of famous brands64. what does the writer think about ads?a. they are believable.b. they are attractive.c. they are full of misinformation.d. they are helpful to consumers.65. one of the authors suggestions to consumers is _.a. to make use of adsb. not to buy items with words like “new and improved” or “all natural”c. to buy high quality items such as famous brands after lunchd. to buy any ordinary items instead of famous brands第二节 （共5小题，满分10分）my mother is a diligent and kind woman. she is very busy from morning till
