—You ________at me but that’s OK.
A．do shout B．have shouted
C．is shouting D．did shout
解析：选D。本题考查谓语动词的强调形式。根据语境第二个人想表达“你刚才确实冲我喊了，不过没关系”，did shout是shouted的一种强调形式。
3．(2009年高考安徽卷)China has got a good ________ for fighting against the flu with its careful and smooth organization.
A．reputation B．influence
C．impression D．knowledge
解析：选A。reputation意为名誉，名声，符合题意。句意：在与流感抗争的过程中，中国严谨有序的组织赢得了很高的声誉。influence影响，作用；impression印象；knowledge知识。

A．introduces B．introduced
C．had introduced D．was introducing

—It depends. I’m afraid I’ll watch NBA.
A．suitable B．convenient
C．accurate D．available
解析：选D。句意为：——Samuel，你今天下午有没有空？——视情况而定，我恐怕要看NBA。available“可用的；空闲的”；suitable“适合的”；convenient“便利的；不远的”。convenient用来指“事”，不用来修饰“人”，故其主语通常不是表示“人”的名词或代词。如果表达“如果你方便的话，在你方便的时候”时，要用if/when/whenever it is convenient to/for you。
6．The father as well as his three children ________skating on the frozen river every Sunday afternoon in winter.
A．is going B．go
C．goes D．are going
解析：选C。本题考查主谓一致。由时间状语every Sunday afternoon可判断应用一般现在时，所以排除A、D。在A as well as B＋v.结构中谓语动词与A一致。The father是单数，所以选goes。与as well as有相似用法的词还有including，together with，along with，except，besides等。
7．Teachers often use illustrations to ________language points that are________the students.
A．handle；puzzled B．express；puzzling
C．clarify；puzzling D．conclude；puzzled

A．putting out B．taking out
C．bringing out D．leaving out

Ⅳ.阅读理解
The U．S.Postal Service delivers(递送)mail through rain and snow.But people who look forward to receiving mail on Saturdays may soon be disappointed.In order to cut costs，Postmaster General John Potter has suggested reducing mail delivery by one day per week.
From 2008 to 2009，the amount of mail in the United States dropped by nearly 26 billion pieces.The main reasons for the decline(下降)have nothing to do with bad weather or barking dogs.In the Internet age，many people are choosing email over writing letters.They are paying bills online instead of mailing checks(支票)．
The weak economy and serious competition from private carriers，such as FedEx and UPS，have also led to the decline.As a result，the Postal Service lost $3.8 billion last year.On March 2，Potter delivered more bad news：Without major changes，the Postal Service may lose $238 billion over the next 10 years.
Not everyone is for the idea.“Saturday is an important delivery day，”Jason Chaffetz told The Washington Post.Instead of cutting Saturday service，Chaffetz suggests creating postal“holidays”on the slowest delivery days each year.He says that cutting Saturday service will delay(推迟)important deliveries，such as medicines.And people without computers don’t have the choice of paying bills online.
Supporters of the plan say it is a difficult but important step.The Postal Service projects that cutting one day of deliveries per week could save $3.5 billion per year.Many Americans are behind the new postal plan.In a 2009 Gallup Poll,66 percent of people surveyed said they were for reducing delivery from six days to five to help the Postal Service balance its budget(开支)．Some supporters say getting used to a new delivery schedule would not be a problem for most people.They also say that people who need Saturday delivery could use private carriers.
【解题导语】 本文主要讨论人们对美国邮政服务公司取消周六快递派送服务决定的看法。
1．The U．S.Postal Service cancels Saturday’s delivery to ________.
A．reduce regular mails
B．cut down expense
C．give carriers enough time to rest
D．improve its service
解析：选B。细节理解题。第一段第三句即提出“In order to cut costs...”，由此可知，公司取消周六派送服务是为了节省开支，故B选项正确。
2．The amount of mail in the US declined from 2008 to 2009 because of all the following EXCEPT ________.
A．bad weather
B．hot competition
C．the poor economy
D．the development of the Internet
解析：选A。细节理解题。由第二段中的The main reasons for the decline(下降)have nothing to do with bad weather or barking dogs可知，天气因素不是邮件总量下降的原因。
3．According to the passage，Jason Chaffetz ________.
A．has no computers at home
B．is complaining about slow delivery of the Postal Service
C．is disappointed about cutting Saturday service
D．insists the Postal Service deliver mail every day
解析：选C。细节理解题。由第四段中的Saturday is an important delivery day及Instead of cutting Saturday service，Chaffetz suggests creating postal“holidays”on the slowest delivery days each year.可知，Chaffetz认为周六的快递派送非常重要，取消周六的快递派送服务是不合适的。
4．We can learn from the last paragraph that ________.
A．reducing delivery from six days to five doesn’t make much difference
B．few Americans are for the new postal plan of the Postal Service
C．few people are willing to use private carriers in the US
D．a lot of people are wishing the Postal Service a good future
解析：选D。推理判断题。由最后一段中的66 percent of people surveyed said they were for reducing delivery from six days to five to help the Postal Service balance its budget可以推断，大部分美国人是希望美国邮政服务公司能保持收支平衡，希望它以后能有更好的未来。
