He was a rural mail carrier, and on Saturdays he would ask me to go with him. Driving through the countryside was always an adventure: There were animals to see, people to visit, and chocolate cookies if you knew where to stop, and Dad did.In the spring, Dad delivered boxes full of baby chickens, and when I was a boy it was such fun to stick your fingers through one of the holes of the boxes and let the baby birds peck on your fingers.On Dads final day of work, it took him well into the evening to complete his rounds because at least one member from each family was waiting at their mailboxes to thank him for his friendship and his years of service.“Two hundred and nineteen mailboxes on my route，” he used to say, “and a story at every one.” One lady had no mailbox, so Dad took the mail in to her every day because she was nearly blind. Once inside, he read her mail and helped her pay her bills.Mailboxes were sometimes used for things other than mail. One note left in a mailbox read, “Nat, take these eggs to Marian; shes baking a cake and doesnt have any eggs.” Mailboxes might be buried in the snow, or broken, or lying on the ground, but the mail was always delivered. On cold days Dad might find one of his customers waiting for him with a cup of hot chocolate. A young girl wrote letters but had no stamps, so she left a few buttons on the envelope in the mailbox; Dad paid for the stamps. One businessman used to leave large amounts of cash in his mailbox for Dad to take to the bank. Once, the amount came to $32,000.A dozen years ago, when I traveled back to my hometown on the sad occasion of Dads death, the mailboxes along the way reminded me of some of his stories. I thought I knew them all, but that wasnt the case.As I drove home, I noticed two lamp poles, one on each side of the street. When my dad was around, those poles supported wooden boxes about four feet off the ground. One box was painted green, and the other was red, and each had a long narrow hole at the top with white lettering: SANTA CLAUS, NORTH POLE. For years children had dropped letters to Santa through those holes.I made a turn at the corner and drove past the post office and across the railroad tracks to our house. Mom and I were sitting at the kitchen table when I heard footsteps. There, at the door, stood Frank Townsend, Dads postmaster and great friend for many years. So we all sat down at the table and began to tell stories.At one point Frank looked at me with tears in his eyes. “What are we going to do about the letters this Christmas？”he asked.“The letters？”“I guess you never knew.”“Knew what？”“Remember, when you were a kid and you used to put your letters to Santa in those green and red boxes on Main Street? It was your dad who answered all those letters every year.”I just sat there with tears in my eyes. It wasnt hard for me to imagine Dad sitting at the old oak table in our basement reading those letters and answering each one. I have since spoken with several of the people who received Christmas letters during their childhood, and they told me how amazed they were that Santa had known so much about their homes and families.For me, just knowing that story about my father was the gift of a lifetime.55.

Memorable Travels【要点综述】这是一篇感人的叙述亲情的文章，在这里，父亲是一个乡村送信人，这么多年来他都无私地为219个信箱服务，一直到他退休。但让作者没有料到的是，父亲还在每年圣诞节的时候扮演着圣诞老人的角色，默默地回复着孩子们写给圣诞老人的信。55. C推理判断题。从全文第一段提到的always an adventure: There were animals to see知，作者认为与父亲一起去乡下送信是一件惬意的事情，因为在路上碰到的事情令人激动不已，所以选C项。56. B推理判断题。从文章第四段One businessman used to leavethe amount came to $32,000.知，商人认为父亲是一个诚实且值得信赖的人，所以他才会这么相信他，让他把数目很多的钱送往银行，由此知B项为最佳答案。57. D细节理解题。从文章最后几段可以看出，作者没有想到的是，父亲竟然还曾扮演过圣诞老人的角色，给孩子们回信，这大大出乎他的意料。这也可以从倒数第二段I just sat there with tears in my eyes.可以看出，我对父亲的这种行为感到非常吃惊和感动，由此选D项。58. C文章结构题。从第四段知，作者在这里举到了几个事例，如帮人送鸡蛋，帮小姑娘支付邮票，甚至帮一个商人去存钱等等，这些都是例子，所以该段举了很多事例来说明父亲平凡中的“伟大”，故选C项。59. D推理判断题。从倒数第二段and they told me how amazed they were that推断知，当时小朋友们对于圣诞老人居然这么了解他们的家庭生活感到非常吃惊，所以答案选D项。60. A主旨大意题。从全文知，本文作者主要讲述了自己的父亲，一个平凡中显现伟大的送信人的故事，所以用A项能较好地概括全文中心，这里用The Mail来突出父亲的工作和他的敬业，故A项最佳。*结束BMost people know that Marie Curie was the first woman to win the Nobel Prize, and the first person to win it twiceHowever, few people know that she was also the mother of a Nobel Prize winnerBorn in September, 1897, Irene Curie was the first of the Curies two daughtersAlong with nine other children whose parents were also famous scholars, Irene studied in their own school, and her mother was one of the teachersShe finished her high school education at the College of Svign in ParisIrene entered the University of Paris in 1914 to prepare for a degree in mathematics and physicsWhen World War I began, Irene went to help her mother, who was using X-ray facilities（设备）to help save the lives of wounded soldiersIrene continued the work by developing X-ray facilities in military hospitals in France and BelgiumHer services were recognized in the form of a Militarys Medal by the French government In 1918, Irene became her mothers assistant at the Curie InstituteIn December 1924, Frederic Joliot joined the Institute, and Irene taught him the techniques required for his workThey soon fell in love and were married in 1926Their daughter Helene was born in 1927 and their son Pierre five years laterLike her mother, Irene combined family and careerLike her mother, Irene was awarded a Nobel Prize, along with her husband, in 1935Unfortunately, also like her mother, she developed leukemia because of her work with radioactivity（辐射能）Irene Joliot-Curie died from leukemia on March 17, 19565 Why was Irene Curie awarded a Military Medal?ABecause she received a degree in mathematicsBBecause she contributed to saving the woundedCBecause she won the Nobel Prize with Frederic DBecause she worked as a helper to her mother6Where did Irene Curie meet her husband Frederic Joliot?AAt the Curie Institute BAt the university of ParisCAt a military hospital DAt the College of Sevigne7When was the second child of Irene Curie and Frederic Joliot born?AIn 1932 BIn 1927 CIn 1897 DIn 19268In which of the following aspects was Irene Curie different from her mother?AIrene worked with radioactivity BIrene combined family and careerCIrene won the Nobel Prize once DIrene died from leukemia参考答案-BAAC*结束CFor years my husband, John, and I had dreamed of taking our three kids to Disney WorldWed planned our trip down to the last detail and dollarBut in Georgia, halfway there, our car broke downAt a garage, the mechanic promised our Mercury Sable would be repaired by the next weekMeanwhile, John tried to find us a rental carAfter many phone calls, John finally found a carLuckily, our auto club would pick up the tabWe ended up arriving there three hours behind scheduleWe tried every ride and met MickeyAt the end of the long weekend we called the garage to check on our carIt turned out that the mechanic hadnt even looked at it yet!
