21、The U. S. Postal Service (USPS) is losing billions of dollars a year. The government company that delivers "small mail" is losing out to email and other types of electronic communication. First-class mail amount fell from a high point of 104 million pieces in 2000 to just 64 million pieces by 2014.

Congress permits the 600.000-empIoyee USPS to hold a monopoly (垄断) over first-class and standard mail. The company pays no federal, state or local taxes; pays no vehicle fees; and is free from many regulations on other businesses. Despite these advantages, the USPS has lost $52 billion since 2007, and will continue losing money without major reforms.

The problem is that Congress is preventing the USPS from reducing costs as its sales decline, and is blocking efforts to end Saturday service and close unneeded post office locations. USPS also has a costly union-dominated workforce that slows the introduction of new ideas or methods down. USPS workers earn significantly higher payment than comparable private-sector workers. The answer is to privatize the USPS and open postal markets to competition. With the rise of the Internet, the argument that mail is a natural monopoly that needs government protection is weaker than ever.

Other countries facing declining letter amounts have made reforms Germany and the Netherlands privatized their national postal companies over a decade ago, and other European countries have followed suit. Britain floated shares of the Royal Mail on its stock exchange in 2013. Some countries, such us Sweden and New Zealand, have not privatized their national postal companies, but they have opened them up to competition.

These reforms have driven efficiency improvements in all of these countries. Additional number of workers have been reduced, productivity has risen and consumers have benefited. Also, note that cost-cutting measures—such as closing tone post offices—are good for both the economy and the environment.

Privatization and competition also encourage new changes. When the USPS monopoly over "extremely urgent" mail was stopped in 1979, we saw an explosion in efficient overnight private delivery by firms such as FedEx.

The government needs to wake up to changing technology, study postal reforms abroad and let businessmen reinvent our out-of-date postal system.

【1】What do we know about the USPS?

A. Its great competitor is the delivery firm FedEx.

B. It is an old public service open to competitions.

C. Its employees don't pay federal, state or local taxes.

D. It has complete control of first-class and standard mail.

【2】The author mentions some other countries in Paragraph 4 to __________.

A. explain the procedures of reform to the USPS

B. show the advantages of private postal services

C. set some examples for the government to learn from

D. prove the situation is very common around the world

【3】The author probably that the USPS __________.

A. needs government’s protection as ever

B. can work together with other businesses

C. must be replaced by international companies

D. should be sold out and become a private service

【4】Which of the following shows the development of ideas in this passage?

A. B.

C. D.

22、   Last week, Vodafone started a test of the UK's first full 5G service, available for use by businesses in Salford. It is part of its plan to trial the technology in seven UK cities. But what can we expect from the next generation of mobile technology?

One thing we will see in the preparation for the test is lots of tricks with the new tech. Earlier this year, operators paid almost £ 1.4 billion for the 5G wavelengths, and to compensate for that cash, they will need to catch the eye of consumers. In September, Vodafone used its bit of the range to display the UK's first hologram (全息) call. The Manchester City captain Steph Houghton appeared as a hologram in Newbury. It isn't all holograms, however: 5G will offer faster internet access, with Ofcom (英国通讯管理局) suggesting that video that takes a minute to download on 4G will be available in just a second.

The wider application is to support connected equipment on the "internet of things" -not just the internet-enabled fridge that can reorder your milk for you, but the network that will enable driverless cars and delivery drones (无人机) to communicate with each other.

Prof William Webb has warned that the technology could be a case of the emperor's new clothes. Much of the speed increase, he claims, could have been achieved by putting more money in the 4G network, rather than a new technology.  Other different voices have suggested that a focus on rolling out wider rural broadband access and addressing current network coverage would be more beneficial to the UK as a whole.

Obviously, 5G will also bring a cost to consumers. It requires a handset for both 5G and 4G, and the first 5G-enabled smart phones are expected in the coming year. With the slow pace of network rollout so far, it is likely that consumers will end up upgrading to a new 5 G phone well before 5 G becomes widely available in the next couple of years.

【1】Why does Prof William Webb say "the technology could be a case of the emperor's new clothes" ?

A. He is in favor of the application of the new technology.

B. 5G will bring a cost to consumers in their daily life.

C. 5G helps people communicate better with each other.

D. He prefers more money to be spent on 4G networks.

【2】The underlined word "addressing" in the fourth paragraph has the closest meaning to________

A. making a speech to

B. trying to solve

C. managing to decrease

D. responding to

【3】The last paragraph indicates that

A. it'll take several years .to make 5G accessible to the public in the UK

B. 5G service shows huge development potential and a broad market

C. customers are eager to use 5G smart phones instead of 4G ones

D. it's probable that 5G network rollout is speeding up in Britain

【4】What do we know about the text?

A. Vodafone is successful in spreading the 5G service.

B. Steph Houghton appeared as a hologram by 4G.

C. The application of 5G will make life much easier.

D. 5G phones are available in rural areas of the UK.

24、   The human sense of smell is weak.That is well known, and is suspected by many anthropologists of being the result of a trade-off(协调) in favor of visual processing power. In the specific case of people, however, the relative weakness of smell compared with sight extends to language, too. Humans have no difficulty putting names to colors but are notoriously bad at putting names to smells.

That might also be caused by how the brain is wired. But some doubt this. They suggest it is more likely a consequence of the tendency of languages to contain words useful to their speakers. Since smells matter little to most people, most languages have few abstract words for them. A study just published in Current Biology, by Asian Majid at Radboud University in the Netherlands and Nicole Kruspe at Lund University in Sweden supports this.

Dr. Majid knew from previous work she had done that the Jahai, a group of hunter-gatherers who live in western Malaysia, are remarkably good at naming smells. Dr. Majid suggested that it might, in part, be because the Jahai have a dozen wards dedicated to describing different sorts of smells in the abstract. For example, the Jahai use the word “cŋεs” for stinging(刺激的) sorts of smells associated with petrol, smoke and various insects, and “pleŋ” for bloody, fishy and meaty sorts of smells. According to Dr Majid, only “musty” is able to act in this way in English without drawing on analogy (banana-like, gooseberry-noted, and even earthy and sweet-smelling, are all analogies of some sort).

They also looked at how two other groups of people from the Malay Peninsula(马来半岛)used terms for colors and smells. These were the Semaq Beri who also hunt and gather for a living, and the Semelai, who cultivate rice. They found tat the Semaq Beri used abstract terms for smells 86% of the time-about as often as they did for colours, which was 80％. The Semelai also used abstract colour descriptions at a similar rate, namely 78％ of the time. But when it came to describing odours they relied on abstraction on only 44％ of occasions, while resorting to analogies, such as “banana” and “chocolate”, 56％ of the time. Given these findings, Dr.Majid and Dr.Kruspe argue that it is the hunting-and-gathering way of life, rather than the use of a particular language, that is crucial to the use of abstract names for smells.

​​​

【1】What leads to the difficulty of describing smells according to Majid's study?

A.The imbalance between smell and sight.

B.The poor function of the human nose.

C.The structure of the brain.

D.Lack of relevant vocabulary.

【2】What can be inferred  from the examples in Paragraph 3?

A.English mainly relies on analogy to name smells.

B.Analogy is often used in the Jan a i language to names smells.

C.“Musty”is an English word using analogy to name a smell.

D.English borrows some words for smells from the Jahai language.

【3】What can we learn from the study about two other groups?

A.Language plays a decisive  role in_naming smells.

B.The two groups were equally good at describing colors.

C.The Semaq Beri's lifestyle helped them have an edge in naming smells.

D.Surviving in the forest has greater effect on human language than farming.

25、   My 14- year- old son, John, and I spotted the coat at the same time. The coat had a black velvet(丝绒) collar, delightful tailoring, a Fifth Avenue label and a(an)_______ price of merely $28. We looked at each other, saying nothing, but John's eyes_______. Dark, woolen topcoats were popular just then with teenagers. John put the coat on and

_______ it. He turned from side to side, _________ himself in the mirror with a serious, studied_______ that soon changed into a smile. It’s a perfect_______

John wore the coat to school the next day and came home wearing a big smile. 'How did the kids like your coat? ' I asked. “They love it.” He said, carefully _______ it on the chair and smoothing it flat. Over the next few weeks, the_______came over John. Quiet, reasoned discussion_______ argument. He became more thoughtful and eager to

________. 'Good dinner, Mum, ' he would say every evening. One day when I __________ that he start on homework before dinner, John said, 'You are right, and I guess I will.'

When I __________ this to one of his teachers and remarked that I didn’t know what caused the changes, she said with laughter, 'It must be his coat! '

John and I both know we should never________ a person's clothes for the real person within them. But it is meaningful to __________ a standard of excellence for the world to see, to practice a standard of excellence in thought, speech and behavior, and to ____________ what is on the inside with what is on the outside.
