（2026·湖北·中考真题）In ancient China, letters were sent by pigeons and packages (包裹) by horses.
Common people could hardly afford it. In 1896, China opened its very first post office. That was the beginning of
China’s own postal service. With a small stamp 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, even abroad.
After the founding of the People’s Republic of China in 1949, the postal service grew rapidly. Post offices
were set up all around the country. Their services stretched to even the quietest, farthest villages. That made
communication much easier for people in every corner of the country. College students could write to their parents
in faraway hometowns. Friends and relatives could send packages on festivals 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 6,000 packages were on the move. Every day, more than 500
million packages were processed and put into trucks. In the whole year, over 180 billion were sent across the
country. And the fastest delivery took only several hours!
Now, “speed” is no longer the only key word in this industry. Many delivery services have started to go
green. Each year, more than 800 million boxes are reused or recycled. Besides, smart packing models are widely
used. There’s no doubt that delivery services 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 great nation has
developed and progressed. Looking forward, will China’s postal service fly to the moon and other planets in outer
space?
1．What happened in 1896 according to the passage?
A．Stamps were invented in China.
B．China’s first post office was opened.
C．People stopped using pigeons and horses.
D．Ships and trains began to carry passengers.
2．What does the underlined phrase “stretched to” mean in Paragraph 2?
A．Reported. B．Moved. C．Reached. D．Missed.
3．Which can best describe the delivery services according to paragraphs 3&4?
A．Faster Greener Smarter. B．Greener Smarter Cheaper.
C．Smarter Faster Safer. D．Safer Cheaper Greener.
4．What can we learn from the last sentence of the passage?
A．The writer hopes to live on other planets.B．The writer shows interest in space history.
C．The writer wants to check the delivery address.
D．The writer has confidence in China’s postal service.
