While express mail(快递) is a fast way to send your letters, there is another type of mailappearing in China as a new business--future mail.“The letter should be sent next Mother’s Day and not a day earlier!” Lin Xiaofan, a college student in Shanghai, tells one of the companies offering the service.Lin Xiaofan wrote the letter to her mother nearly a year earlier to express her love to her mother for next Mother’s Day.“Offering this service makes people slow down and lets them understand the meaning of ‘time’ in another way,” said Zheng Zhimin, manager at a “future mail” company. Zheng thinks “future mail” letters help remind us of care, friendship and love.While “future love” is becoming more and more popular, some people are wondering what will happen if the postal address changes or if the company goes broken before the letters arrive.Zheng said customers are glad to sign a contract(签订合同) to make sure that they can be compensated if their letters are lost or damaged.Most of the customers are college students and young white-collar(白领) workers. Psychologists(心理学家) said that young Chinese might have a new way to express their feelings through this service. Most people put their hopes and wishes in the letter so that they can experience the connection(联系) between the past and the present when they receive the letter.51.“future mail” is a/an _____ way to send your letter.A.fastB.oldC.cheap52.The underlined word “compensated” means _____ in Chinese.A.赔偿B.完成C.送达53.The “future mail” service is popular among _____.A.junior studentsB.college studentsC.blue-collar workers54.The “future mail” service can help us _____.A.sign a contractB.express our love and careC.forget friendship55.You’d better use “future mail” if you want to _____.A.save money from sending express mailB.send a birthday gift to your friend quicklyC.send your best wishes to yourself on January 1, 2020DGong to college means a lot of change in their lifestyle of most students. Living in a dormitory remains a major challenge as it means learning how to share space with others who are total strangers.While some can live together peacefully, others may face conflicts(矛盾) that need to be worked out. According to a recent survey of students in 12 different universities in Wuhan, only 40 percent of them are satisfied with their dormitory friendships and 35 percent said they keep away from conflicts in the dormitory.For those living in a dormitory for the first time, sharing things, such as a computer or paper towels, can be a source of conflict. Another common conflict is related to different habits. What they are going to do, such as going to bed, watching movies or studying, will also cause a conflict. Sometimes roommates may also have problems when welcoming guests, especially those of the opposite sex.However, there are more effective methods to solve problems than shouting at each other. The best way is to talk about an issue(争论) before it even becomes a problem. You should treat roommates honestly and directly, and try to work out a solution. And you can also set up rulesthat everyone can obey. These rules can be written down in an agreement and be put up in a visible(看得见的) place. Students can also outline which items to share and which are for personal use. They can regulate cleaning duties; agree on a time to sleep, and decide on how to receive guests.In any discussion, it is important to talk with your roommates in a positive way. For example, you should mention your roommates’ good personality. This can help them understand you better and make them move willing to compromise(妥协).56._____ of the students in the survey get on well with roommates in the dormitory.A.12%B.40%C.35%57.For those living in a dormitory for the first time, their conflicts may come from _____ sources.A.twoB.threeC.four58.The Chinese meaning of the underlined word “effective” is _____.A.有效的B.积极的C.合理的59.In order to solve problems, the best order is _____.A.issue→problem→solution→rulesB.problem→issue→solution→rulesC.issue→problem→rules→solution60.According to the passage, which of the following is TURE?A.The author did a survey of the students in 12 different universities in Hunan.B.The rules you make can be put up on the door.C.Talking about others’ bad personality can help them understand you better.第二节阅读简答（5小题，计10分）When thinking of Britain, many images(形象) come to mind: Big Ben, the Ferris wheel, red telephone boxes... and black London taxis.
