    BERLIN (Reuters)—Germany’s postal service has announced plans to explore improved service and help protect the environment by getting “fetch friends”—ordinary people traveling across cities—to deliver parcels on their way.
    It is hoped that the move, which will be tested in the coming months, might lessen traffic in inner cities and reduce CO2 emissions(排放). This should help DHL, a division of the German postal service, reach its target of improving the company’s carbon efficiency by 30 percent before 2020.
    “As the world’s biggest logistics(物流) provider, we recognize a special responsibility to reduce the impact on the environment as much as possible,” said Frank Appel, Chief Executive Officer of Deutsche Post DHL, in a statement referring to a variety of measures being considered.
    The “fetch friends” find out online about parcels that need delivering to people who live or work along the way that they are planning to travel through the city. They then select the ones that they want to take.
    Codes(编码) sent to their mobile phones tell the volunteers where to pick the packages up. Parcels can be taken part of the way or passed on to another volunteer but all volunteers need to have the right code on their mobile phone so the track and trace system can be updated.
    Logistics companies will be responsible for looking after the operation to make sure that the privacy of post is respected.
    It’s hoped that this could be done using mobile phones but DHL says it recognizes that some security issues remain to be worked out.
    小题1: According to the passage, the “fetch friend” program ________.
    A．has been tested for months
    B．aims to reduce the cost of the service
    C．employs environmentalists to help with deliveries
    D．encourages ordinary people to help cut the carbon footprint
    小题2: Which of the following statements is TRUE of DHL?
    A．It belongs to the Germany’s postal service.
    B．It has the most up-to-date tracking system in Germany.
    C．It has succeeded in improving its carbon efficiency by 30%.
    D．It has designed many measures to improve its service speed.
    小题3:What may be a problem with the new service according to the article?
    A．Volunteers’ not allowing to select parcels.
    B．The wrong codes in the mobile phones.
    C．The possibility that parcels could be opened on the way.
    D．Parcels’ being taken to the destination by a single volunteer.
    小题4:What might be the best Title for the best passage?
    A．New Challenges for the Postal Service
    B．A Greener Way to Deliver Parcels
    C．Solutions for Global Warming
    D．Statements from DHL

    There were a thousand reasons not to stop.I was running late for a very important...well，whatever it was that I was running late for that day.Surely the Highway Patrol would be along soon，and it's their job to help stranded (搁浅) motorists，isn't it?
    That made 1,004 reasons not to stop.And here was 1,005：I was the world's worst auto mechanic.The first time I tried to change my car's oil myself I did fine—until I forgot to put the new oil in.The boys down at the garage had a big laugh over that.
    I'm not sure how much it would have helped that lady who was stranded by the side of the freeway if I had pulled over.So I drove on by，just like hundreds of other drivers on the freeway that day.Then suddenly I turned off at the next exit and made my way back to see if I could at least give her a lift or something.But by the time I got back to her，a Hispanic (西班牙的) gentleman had pulled in behind her，and was tinkering (修补) with her car's engine.
    “Is there anything I can do to help？” I asked.
    “No，thank you，”the lady replied.“This nice man says he can fix it.” After the man repaired it，the woman tried to give him some money，but he declined and waved as she drove off.It wasn't until we started walking toward our cars that I noticed he had five more reasons not to stop than I did；his family was sitting in the station wagon，waiting patiently.“Do you stop and help people like this often？”I asked.
    “Somebody has to，”he said.“What's she going to do if nobody helps？”And for him，that was enough.
    小题1:By telling the story，the author intends to tell us ________.
    A．we must help someone in trouble even if we have every reason not to do so
    B．if we don't have the necessary skills or knowledge，we can't help a person much
    C．what the person in trouble needs most is kindness rather than practical skills
    D．we much thank the person who has helped us when we are in trouble
    小题2:What can we learn from the first two paragraphs?
    A．The author once helped a person who was in trouble but was laughed at by a
    boy.
    B．The author just wanted to find an excuse to stop to help the stranded lady.
    C．The author doubted whether he had the ability to give the lady some necessary
    help.
    D．What the author was running late for made him very angry.
    小题3:Why did the author make his way back at the next exit?
    A．Because he wanted to see if anybody else had helped the lady out.
    B．Because he felt guilty about not helping the lady.
    C．Because he wanted to help the Hispanic gentleman fix the lady's car.
    D．Because he had thought of a way to help the lady.

    When I told my father that I was moving to Des Moines, Iowa, he told me about the only time he had been there. It was in the 1930s, when he was an editor if the literary magazine of Southern Methodist University（SMU）in Dallas, Texas. He also worked as a professor at SMU, and there was a girl student in his class who suffered from a serious back disease. She couldn;t afford the operation because her family was poor.
    Her mother ran a boardinghouse in Galveston, a seaside town near Houston, Texas. She was cleaning out the attic（阁楼）one day when she came across an old dusty manuscript（手稿）. On its top page were the words, “By O. Henry”. It was a nice story, and she sent it to her daughter at SMU, who showed it to my father. My father had never read the story before, but it sounded like O. Henry, and he knew that O. Henry had once lived in Houston. So it was possible that the famous author had gone to the beach and stayed in the Gainestown boardinghouse, and had written the story there and left the manuscript behind by accident. My father visited an O. Henry expert at Columbia University in New York, who authenticated the story as O. Henry’s.
    My father then set out to sell it. Eventfully, he foud himself in Des Moines, meeting with Gardner Cowles, a top editor at the Des Moines Register. Cowles loves the story and bought it on the spot. My father took the money to the girl. It was just enough for her to have the operation she so desperately needed.
    My father never told me what the O. Henry story was about. But i doubt that it could have been better than his own story.
    小题1:Who found the O. Henry’s manuscript?
    A．The girl’s mother.B．The author’s father.
    C．The girl.D．The author.
    小题2:Which of the following might explain the fact that the manuscript was found in the attic?
    A．O. Henry once worked in Houston.
    B．O. Henry once stayed in Galveston.
    C．O. Henry once moved to Des Moines.
    D．O. Henry once taught at SMU.
    小题3:The underlined word “authenticated” in Paragraph 2 probably means __________.
    A．namedB．treatedC．provedD．described
    小题4:According to the text, why did the author’s father go to Des Moines?

    In 1943, when I was 4, my parents moved from Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, to Fairbanks, Alaska, where adventure was never very far away.
    We arrived in the summer, just in time to enjoy the midnight sun. All that sunlight was fantastic for Mom's vegetable garden. Working in the garden at midnight tended to throw her timing off, so she didn't care much about my bedtime.
    Dad was a Railway Express agent and Mom was his clerk. That left me in a mess. I usually managed to find some trouble to get into. Once I had a little Are going in the dirt basement of a hotel. I had tried to light a barrel（桶） of paint but couldn't really get a good fire going. The smoke got pretty bad, though, and when 1 made my exit, a crowd and the police were there to greet me. The policemen took my matches and drove me
    Mom and Dad were occupied in the garden and Dad told the police to keep me, and they did! I had a tour of the prison before Mom rescued me. 1 hadn't turned 5 yet.
    As I entered kindergarten, the serious cold began to set in. Would it surprise you to know that I soon left part of my tongue on a metal handrail at school?
    As for Leonhard Seppala, famous as a dog sledder (驾雪橇者), I think I knew him well because I was taken for a ride with his white dog team one Sunday. At the time I didn't realize what a superstar he was, but I do remember the ride well. I was wrapped (包裹) heavily and well sheltered from the freezing and blowing weather.
    In 1950, we moved back to Coeur d'Alene, but we got one more Alaskan adventure when Leonhard invited us eight years later by paying a visit to Idaho to attend a gathering of former neighbors of Alaska.
    小题1:What can be inferred about the author's family?
    A．His father was a cruel man.
    B．His parents didn't love him.
    C．His parents used to be very busy.
    D．His mother didn't have any jobs.
    小题2:What happened when the author was 4?
    A．He learned to smoke.
    B．He was locked in a basement.
    C．He was arrested by the police.
    D．He nearly caused a fire accident.
    小题3:Which of the following is true?
    A．Leonhard was good at driving dog sleds.
    B．The author spent his whole childhood in Alaska.
    C．Leonhard often visited the author's family after 1950.
    D．The author suffered a lot while taking the dog sled in Alaska.
    小题4:What is the author's purpose of writing the text?
    A．To look back on his childhood with adventures.
    B．To describe the extreme weather of Alaska.
    C．To express how much he misses Leonhard.
    D．To show off his pride in making trouble.

    I was now in my twenty third year of residence in this island and was accustomed to the place and to the manner of living. If it had not been the savages（野人）who had come to the place to disturb me, I could have been content to spent the rest of my time there, even to the last moment, till I had laid me down and died, like the old goat in the cave.
    I had also arrived to some little recreations and amusements, which made the time pass more pleasantly with me a great deal than it did before．
    At first, I had taught my Poll to speak. And he did it so familiarly and talked so clearly and plain that it was very pleasant to me. And he lived with me no less than twenty six years. How long he might live afterwards, I don’t know; though I know they have an idea in Brazil that they live a hundred years. Perhaps poor Poll may be alive there still, calling Poor Robin Crusoe to this day. I wish no other English man had the bad luck to go there and hear him. But if he did, he would certainly believe it was the devil（魔鬼）.
    My dog was a very pleasant and loving companion to me, for no less than sixteen years of my time, and then died of mere old age.
    As for my cats, they multiplied to that degree that I had to shoot several of them at first to keep them from eating up all I had.
    Besides these, I had two more parrots which talked pretty well and would all call Robin Crusoe, but none like my first. Nor indeed did I take the pains with any of them that I had done with him.
    I had also several sea-fowls, whose names I don’t know, that I caught upon the shore and cut their wings. And the little stakes which I had planted before my castle wall being now grown up to a good thick bush, these fowls all lived among these low trees and bred there, which was very agreeable to me; so that as I said above, I began to be well content with the life I led if not worried about the threat from the savages.
    小题1:What does the passage mainly talk about?
    A．Robin Crusoe treated animals kindly.
    B．Robin Crusoe led a hard life on the island.
    C．The animals raised by Robin Crusoe brought him much pleasure.
    D．The savages always spoiled Robin Crusoe’s happy life.
    小题2:How many parrots did Robin Crusoe mention in this passage?
    A．2B．3C．4D．5
    小题3:According to the passage, which of the following statements is true?
    A．Robin’s dog may be still alive on the island.
    B．Robin Crusoe lived in harmony with savages.
    C．Robin Crusoe met an English man while on the island.
    D．Parrots raised by Robin could talk very well.
    小题4:What is the “sea-fowl” mentioned in the last paragraph?
    A．A bird living on the coast.
    B．A fish living in the sea.
    C．A creature without a name
    D．An animal feeding on tree leaves.
