Question

【題目】

The Post Office in Britain is famous for getting letters and parcels to places to which they should be sent. The problem is that we the public have to observe the rules. For example, we must put a stamp on a letter. If we don’t, the receiver will have to pay double. We often see the sign ALL LETTERS MUST BE CORRECTLY ADDRESSED. These days, this means having to use postcodes. If you didn’t use a postcode, it’s no good complaining that your letter should have arrived sooner. Parcels are a problem because they must be correctly packaged. If Aunt Sophie is going to send you a jar of your favorite jam, she will have to wrap it up well. The most important thing we have to do is to address our letters and parcels legibly(易讀) and correctly. This means clear handwriting and correct spelling. What we should do and what we actually do are often miles apart. Recently, the Post Office had to deliver a letter which showed a name followed by the word Arijaba. What is this, do you think? Arabic? Hiodustani(興都斯坦語)? Wrong both times! Say it out loud and you’ll see it’s just plain English. HARWICH HARBOUR！

【解析】

試題分析：本文主要講述了英國的郵局讓信件和包裹都能到達它們應該到達的地方，并因此而聞名，同時也說明公眾必須遵守規(guī)定，把自己的信件和包裹包好，并把地址寫的正確、清楚。

【1】D 細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文中句子“For example, we must put a stamp on a letter. If we don’t, the receiver will have to pay double.”可知在英國，如果你忘記貼郵票，你仍然能寄出你的信件，不過收信人要付雙倍的錢。故選D。

【2】A 細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文中句子“If you didn’t use a postcode, it’s no good complaining that your letter should have arrived sooner.”可知，如果你不使用郵政編碼，你的信就不能早到。所以A項符合原文之意。故選A。

【3】D 細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文中句子“Parcels are a problem because they must be correctly packaged. 和The most important thing we have to do is to address our letters and parcels legibly(易讀) and correctly. This means clear handwriting and correct spelling.”可知，當我們寄包裹時，我們必須要正確地打包、地址書寫要正確、清晰。A、B、C項三項都包括。故選D。

【4】B 推理判斷題。從文中的句子“Recently, the Post Office had to deliver a letter which showed a name followed by the word Arijaba. What is this, do you think? Arabic? Hiodustani(興都斯坦語)? Wrong both times! Say it out loud and you’ll see it’s just plain English. HARWICH HARBOUR！”中我們能看得出來，郵遞員寄那些被拼錯字母的信很費勁。所以B項符合原文之意。故選B。
