They are mouse hunters. The post office has actually employed cats since 1868. They are not employed to sort or deliver mail, of course, but to protect the mail and keep the population of mice under control. They make sure your morning post arrives free from damages caused by rats and mice.London post offices were the first to try out the experiment. Within a few months the population of mice had shrunk sharply. Other post offices all over the country were soon using cats in the war against rats and mice as well. Within ten years the pay of the cats was improved from one and a half old pence a day to six or nine pence a day. Now the average rate of pay is about a few pounds a month.Some of the hard-working cats have become quite famous. In 1980, a cat named Lucky stopped an attempted robbery in a Worcestershire post office on her own. As the two burglars made their way in through the window, Lucky started an attack and they fled empty-handed. Another excellent cat was Jerry, of Earls Court post office in London. He served the building for 16 years and was on duty for 24 hours every day. He drove all the mice away.However, there are fewer cats employed by the post office than at any time in the past. With the faster movement of the mail and better surroundings, post office cats are not always needed. But many post offices still employ them and they become great friends with the postmen. According to the post office, there is no plan for their services to be discontinued in the foreseeable future.24. Cats were introduced to British post offices to ________.A. guard the building against thievesB. keep mails and papers undamagedC. search for certain dangers in mailsD. help sort and deliver mails and papers25. The underlined word “shrunk” in the second paragraph probably means “________”.A. increasedB. narrowedC. expandedD. decreased26. The cat named Lucky became famous because________.A. She alone drove two burglars away from the post office.B. She protected mails from being bitten by mice.C. She was employed to sort and deliver mail.D. She served the post office for 16 years around the clock.27. We may learn from the last paragraph that________.A. all the post offices are now completely mice freeB. cats are now considered of little use in post officesC. cats will still be seen in service for quite a long timeD. the duty of the cats has been replaced by machinesCWhen did you last go outside for sports? Some students might need a while to remember. But for students in Yangzhou University it is easy to remember as they need to run in the morning at least three times a week during their two terms. The university even uses fingerprint punch-in clocks(指纹签到机) to manage students’ records. However, some students still try to skip(不参加) morning running. To them, sports are just not important enough.Now colleges are seeing a change in the student lifestyle from outdoor enthusiasts to indoor couch potatoes and Internet addicts. The Internet and various on-campus services, from food delivery to laundry, are leading to a student culture of staying in dormitories. A student can have every need met without leaving the dormitory.In the past two years Zhang Yi, 20, a junior majoring in law at Yangzhou University, has never been outside for sports except during physical education class. “I don’t think there is anything wrong with sleeping late in the morning and wanting to stay in the dormitory in my spare time. I have more fun doing things on my computer than playing on the sports ground in wet clothes.” said Zhang.“With social networking sites, online games and micro-blogging added to already tight schedules, sports are often the l ast thing to be considered.” said Cheng Jie, 21, a senior majoring in civil engineering at the Southeast University in Nanjing.But Jin Yinghua, a professor at Beijing Sports University, said that sports are not only for keeping fit, but also an irreplace able “education” for students. Sports are not only a way for students to train their body, but also an important way to learn responsibility, teamwork and devotion.28. The first paragraph mainly tells us ________.A. some college students have poor memoriesB. students cannot skip morning running any moreC. the problem of students skipping sports is seriousD. the fingerprint punch-in clocks are widely used29. According to Cheng Jie, college students ________.A. prefer Internet games to sportsB. enjoy sleeping late in the morningC. are too busy with study to do any sportsD. love sports more than anything else30. Professor Jin thinks that _______________.A. the most important goal for students to do sports is to keep healthyB. universities should take tough measures in student managementC. the spirit of responsibility can be developed in more than one wayD. sports play an important role in students’ over-round development31. The best title of the passage would be________.A. A new college lifeB. Sports losing attractionC. P.E. class at collegesD. Morning running at collegesDWhen a consumer finds that an item she or he bought is faulty or in some other way does not live up to the manufacturer's claims, the first step is to present the warranty, or any other records which might help, at the store of purchase. In most cases, this action will produce results. However, if it does not, there are various means the consumer may use to gain satisfaction. A simple and common method used by many consumers is to complain directly to the store manager. In general, the “higher up” his or her complaint, the faster he or she can expect it to be settled. In such a case, it is usually settled in the consumer's favor, assuming he or she has a just claim.Consumers should complain in person whenever possible, but if they cannot get to the place of purchase, it is acceptable to phone or write the complaint in a letter.Complaining is usually most effective when it is done politely but firmly, and especially when the consumer can demonstrate what is wrong with the item in question. If this cannot be done, the consumer will succeed best by presenting specific information as to what is wrong, rather than by making general statements. For example, “The left speaker does not work at all and the sound coming out of the right one is unclear” is better than “This stereo does not work”. The store manager may advice the consumer to write to the manufacturer. If so, the consumer should do this, stating the complaint as politely and firmly as possible. If a polite complaint does not achieve the desired result, the consumer can go to a step further. She or he can threaten to take the seller to court or report the seller to a private or public organization responsible for protecting consumer's rights.32. When a consumer finds that his or her purchase has a fault in it, the first thing he or she should do is to_________.A. threaten to take the matter to courtB. write a firm letter of complaint to the store of purchaseC. show some written proof of the purchase to the storeD. complain personally to the manager33. How can a consumer make his or her complaint more effective, according to the passage?A. Threaten to take the seller to court.B. Make polite and general statements about the problem.C. Avoid having direct contact with the store manager.D. Explain exactly what is wrong with the item.34. According to the passage, which of the following is suggested as the last alternative that consumers may turnto?A. Complain to the manufacturer.B. Write a complaint letter to the manager.C. Turn to the Consumers’ Rights Protection Organization for help.D. Complain to the store manager in person.35. The phrase “live up to” in this context means _____________.A. realize the purpose ofB. fulfill the demands ofC. keep the promise ofD. meet the standard of第二节（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。
