　　短文理解3

　　today we are sure that the mail will be sent every day to our door. But in the early days, no one could be sure about where--or when--the mail would arrive.

　　There is a stump (树桩) of a big tree in the state of Washington. It was once a "post office". Because people needed a place for the mail carrier(信使) to leave their letters, they found a tree at the cross of roads and cut it down ten feet from the ground. Then they hollowed it out and covered it with something. Inside, they put many boxes. Each box had a family's name on it. The mail carrier could leave letters there for everyone.

　　Even earlier, when there was no post services, people gave their letters to any traveler going in the right direction. Often they gave them to a traveling shoe maker. The traveler might stop in a small hotel and he would leave the letters there. But the letters stayed there until the person to re- ceive them happened to come by and stop at the hotel.today an airmail letter can travel across the world in much less time than that. And you know that your letter will go where you want it to go, and when.

　　答案解析：

　　66.B【精析】句意：这篇文章是关于什么的?主旨题。文章除首末段引入和结语外，主体的二、三两段都是关于早期邮递服务的，可以推断出，这篇文章是关于早期信件邮递的，故选B。

　　67.A【精析】句意：为什么人们会砍断那棵树?细节题。从文章第二段第二句“It Was once a‘post office’.”可知，人们砍断这棵树把它做成了一个“邮局”。故选A。

　　68.A【精析】句意：在“Then they hollowed it out…”这句话中“hollowedit out”是什么意思?词汇题。“hollowed it out”是挖空的意思，B项意为将树桩盖起来，C意为把它砍短。故选A。

　　70.C【精析】句意：关于古代的邮政服务，我们了解了哪些?推理题。从文章第一段第二句“But in the early days，no one could be sureabout where—or when一the mail would arrive.”可推出C项符合。而文章第三段虽提到旅行者会将信件存放在旅馆直到收信人碰巧路过取走，但是并没有说旅馆提供邮政服务，故A项不符合文意;B项信件会被送到门口也在文中无法证实。故选c。
