A阅读理解： 2125 BCCCD 2630 AACCB 3135 ABDAA21. B。从文章的第1句我们得知Mr. Harris changed his work，所以他才移居到另一个小镇，也就是B答案。22. C。第2段的Weve been to a lot of other peoples houses告诉了我们他们之所以举办宴会的原因，据此可选C项。23. C。题目问的是Mrs. Harris预计宴会持续多长时间，而不是实际到几点结束。在Mrs. Harris刚开始写请柬时是写Party: 6:30 to 8:30 pm，大概两个小时，即答案C。24. C。宴会结束是midnight，也就是午夜12点，而当警察出现时，宴会还在进行，而我们从文章可以推断出宴会是在警察走后才结束的。25. D。判断题。A、C项不对，因为每周七天从纽约开出的班车是每半小时一趟(早班车7:30，末班车11:30)，B项太早，所以选D。26. A。判断题。因为离开Brennan Station的汽车是每一正点之前或后的20分钟出发，既然是4点到达New York ，那肯定是3:20发车。27. A。判断题。因为假日时，每趟车是正点发往各方向。所以答案非A莫属。28. C。细节题。根据 People formed clubs and collected and exchanged(交换)postcards.可推知此题答案为C。29. C。词义猜测题。give me a ring 和drop me a card一样，是用来传递信息的，而现在传递信息最普通的方式就是打电话，故C比较符合情理。30. B。细节题。根据 It was then that the simple postcard, as we know now, was created.可推知此题答案为B。31. A。主旨题。本文介绍了英国新旧明信片的历史和由来。故A项最佳。32. B。细节题。
