Every day, Rowan sets off with his post bags in the tail of his little plane-not much bigger than a large family car, and flies across one of the wildest places on Earth, Australias Cape North, to reach the very faraway inland areas called the Outback.We fly just 300 metres above dangerous crocodiles(鳄鱼) and snakes. This is one of the longest and most expensive postman trips in the world. However, a 50-cent stamp not only gets a letter posted to a neighbouring town, it will get it hand-delivered by flying postman to the furthest areas of the Outback. To help with the costs, the plane takes three or four paying local people or tourists, and I am one of them. In the back of the plane, there is a pile of post-envelopes of all sizes, newspapers, and a few parcels(包裹). Somehow I expected this post to look special, maybe to include some hats or cowboy boots, but this looks no more exciting than the post delivered to me in England. I look at some of the names and addresses, wondering about the people who are waiting for these letters and parcels.Rowans route is 2,000 km long, with 15 stops, and I get a chance to meet Sandy, who has just received an order of clothes from a store. I look forward to this weekly delivery, she says, but I do miss actually going shopping myself. Rowan is checking the time. There are another ten stops to make before dusk(黄昏). Time to leap back on the plane and up into the air.（1）What does the writer say about the cost of delivering to Cape North? A . The sender pays more than the usual mail cost.B . People in the Outback pay 50 cents for a delivery.C . It may be possible to find a less expensive delivery.D . The money passengers pay help to cover some of the cost.（2）What surprises the writer about the items of post on the plane? A . The items seem to be in a mess.B . Some of the items are very unusual.C . The items are similar to his own post.D . He cant see clear names on the items.（3）When talking about the plane post service, Sandy says that . A . she would like the service to be more oftenB . the mail plane does not stop long enough thereC . she would like to be able to do her own shoppingD . there are many items that cannot be delivered to her（4）What is the writers main purpose in writing the text? A . To describe postal delivery services in the Outback.B . To show the wild beauty of the Australian Outback.C . To warn about the dangers to postmen in the Outback.D . To get more support for postal services in the Outback.（5）What might the writer say to a friend when he gets back to England? A . The post plane is too small for the post that has to be delivered.B . Only tourists are allowed to go as passengers on the post plane.C . The postman has to fly the plane himself and deliver everything by hand.D . The delivery could be faster if the postman spent less time talking to local people.25. （6.0分）阅读理解 Everybody was surprised, and Darcy, after looking at her for a moment, turned silently away. Mrs. Benet, who thought she had a complete victory（胜利） over him, continued her talk.I cannot see that London has any great advantages than the countryside, except the shops and public places. The countryside is more comfortable, isnt it, Mr. Bingley?When I am in the country, he replied, I never wish to leave it, and when I am in town it is pretty much the same. They each have their advantages, and I can be equally（同等的） happy in either.Aye-that is because you are easygoing. But that gentleman, looking at Darcy, seemed to think the country was nothing at all. Indeed, Mama, you are mistaken, said Elizabeth, stopped her mother. You quite mistook Mr. Darcy. He only meant that there were not so many different kinds of people to be met with in the country as in town, which you must acknowledge（承认） to be true. Certainly, my dear, nobody said there were; but as to not meeting with many people in this neighborhood, I believe there are few neighborhoods larger than ours. I know we had dinner with twenty-four families. Hearing this, Mr. Bingleys sister couldnt help laughing. Elizabeths face turned red. She stopped her mother and asked, Mum, Did Charlotte have dinner with us tonight? No, she would go home. I guess she was wanted. She was a little pain. For my part, Mr. Bingley, my daughters are brought up differently and politely. She seems to be a very pleasant young woman, said Bingley.Oh! Dear, yes, but you must acknowledge that she is not beautiful. Lady Charlotte herself has often said so, and envied（嫉妒） my eldest daughter, Janes beauty. I do not like to boast（吹捧） of my own child, but to be sure, Janeone does not often see any body better looking. It is what every body says. I do not trust my own partiality. When she was only fifteen, there was a gentleman at my brother, Gardiners home in town, falling in love with her when seeing her for the first eye. (chosen from an English novel Pride and Prejudice)（1）From the first paragraph, we can learn that . A . Darcy and Mrs. Benet ended their talk happilyB . Darcy and Mrs. Benet didnt agree with each otherC . Darcy was pleased with Mrs. BenetD . Mrs. Benet thought Darcy beat her when talking（2）Which of the following is NOT right? A . Elizabeth and Jane are Mrs. Benets daughters.B . Mrs. Benet loved her countryside very much.C . Mrs. Benet knew much about the city.D . Mrs. Benet thought her daughter Jane was pretty.（3）What does the underlined word mistook in Paragraph 4 mean in Chinese? A . 犯错B . 认为C . 相信D . 误解（4）Which word can best describe Mr. Bingley? A . Proud.B . Prejudiced（怀偏见的）.C . Polite and easygoing.D . Rude.26. （6.0分）阅读理解 What are you busy with yourself, Mum? the girl of six years old asked her mother. Making dinner for the neighbour aunt. her mother answered. Why? the little girl asked again. Because the other day the aunt lost her dear daughter in the earthquake(地震)and she is so sad now. We must take good care of her these days. Why does she need our care? asked the girl. Because the aunt doesnt want to do anything without her daughter. Making dinner and doing housework are also becoming difficult for her. I dont know how to help her. My dear, can you come up with an idea to make the aunt feel better?After that, the girl went to the neighbours house and knocked at the door. What can I do for you? asked the poor woman. My mother says youre very sad
