In ancient China letters were sent by pigeons and packages(包裹) byhorses. Common peoplecould hardly afford it. In 1896, China opened its very firstpost office. That was the beginning of China's own postal service. With a smallstamp on the cover, people in big cities could send letters and packages. Bikes,ships and trains carried them across mountains and rivers in the country, evenabroad.

After the founding of the People's Republic of China in 1949, the postal servicegrew rapidly.Post offices were set up all around the country. Their servicesstretched to even the quietest, farthest villages. That made communication mucheasier for people in every corner of the country. College students could write totheir parents in faraway hometowns. Friends and relatives could sendpackages onfestivals to greet each other.

Since the 1990s, a new branch(分支) of postal service, the delivery(快递)industry, has also grown rapidly. Take the year 2025 for example. Every second,over 6,000packages were on the move. Every day, more than 500 million packageswere processed and put into trucks. In the whole year, over 180 billion were sentacross the country.And the fastest delivery took only several hours.

Now, “ speed ” is no longer the only keyword in this industry. Many delivery serviceshave started to go green. Each year, more than 800 million boxes are reused orrecycled. Besides, smart packing models are widely used. There's no doubt that deliveryservices are smart in our life and friendly to our environment.

From pigeons and horses to delivery trucks, China's postal history shows how this old greatnation has developed and progressed. Looking forward, willChina's postal service fly to themoon and other planets in outer space?

四、读写结合(共两节，满分25分)

第一节任务型阅读(共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分)

阅读短文，用英文填空或回答问题。(注意每小题的问数要求)

Imagine you have no phone, no map, and no one to ask for help. How would you knowwhere to go? For thousands of years, humans have found clever methods to take directions.

One simple way is to watch the sky. East is where the sun rises, and west is where it sets.That is the simplest sign. At night, ancient Chinese depended on the stars. The most useful one is theNorth Star. It stays almost still in the northern sky. Travelers followed it along their journeys across the desert. Sailors (水手) once used it to guide their ships on the sea.

Nature offers you signs to read. For example, moss (苔藓) grows thicker on the wet darknorth side of trees. That's why in the forests of North America, hunters can easily tell the north is on the mossy side.

Man-made marks are left to help. In the snowy Arctic, local people built stone statues (雕塑)- shaped like a person-as special signs. Travelers who saw one would know the right way.Even today, people still build them as marks or works of art.

Tools give people a hand. About 2,500 years ago, the Chinese made sinan. It was often used to help people build houses facing south. During the Northern Song Dynasty, the compass  (指南针)  was invented. Sailors used it at sea to find their way and return home safely. Later, the compass spread to Europe. It was improved and used to explore unknown oceans and find new lands.

Even long before modern technologies, people all over the world knew where they were going.
