A. READING COMPREHENSION 11 ( Unit 9- - 11 – 15 )
I: In early colonial times, correspondents depended on friends, merchants, and Native Americans 
to carry messages between the colonies. However, most correspondence ran between the colonists 
and England, their mother country, it was a very hard work to handle so many letters like that. In 
1639, the first official notice of a postal service in the colonies appeared. The General Court of 
Massachusetts designated Richard Fairbanks’ tavern in Boston as the official place of mail brought 
from or sent overseas, in line with the practice in England and other nations to use coffee houses 
and taverns as mail drops. Local authorities operated post routes within the colonies. Then, in 1673, 
a monthly post was set up between New York and Boston. The service was of short duration, but 
the post rider's trail became known as the Old Boston Post Road, part of today’s U.S. Route 1. 
William Penn established the first post office in 1683. In the South, private messengers, usually 
slaves, connected the huge plantations. After the Boston revolution in September 1774, the 
colonies began to separate from the mother country. A Continental Congress was organized at 
Philadelphia in May 1775 to establish an independent government. One of the first questions before 
the delegates was how to convey and deliver the mail.
Question 1: In early colonial times, ____________.
A: the English did not know how to write a mail B: merchants were not allowed to send 
letters
C: the US was the mother country of many colonies D: England had colonies
Question 2: The first place which was used as a post office was ____________.
A: a tavern B: a big house
C: an official place D: a coffee house
Question 3: In 1673, letters were sent from New York and Boston, and vice versa 
____________ a month.
A: once B: twice C: three times D: four times
Question 4: The first post office was set up in ____________.
A: 1639 B: 1673 C: 1683 D: 1774
Question 5: According to the passage, ____________ had to work as a mailman between the 
huge plantations.
A: delegates B: governors C: messengers D: slaves
II. The rapid growth of China and India means that a lot more oil will have to come from 
somewhere. World demand has grown faster in the past five years than in the second half of the 
1990s. Today we consume an average of 85 million barrels daily and that figure will rise to 113 
million barrels by 2030. A survey of the four countries with the biggest reported reserves - Saudi 
Arabia, Iran, Iraq and Kuwait - reveals major concerns. Iran became the first major oil producer to 
introduce oil rationing. A report on Saudi Arabia’s oil reserves showed that the figure went from 79 
million barrels a day in 2002 to 84.5 million in 2004. There are still 909 billion tons of coal 
worldwide, enough to last at least 155 years. But coal is a dirty energy source. The natural gas 
fields should last 20 years longer than the world’s oil reserves and is expensive to extract and 
transport. Hydrogen fuel cells can provide us with an energy source but there is not enough 
hydrogen to go round and the few clean ways of producing it are expensive. Oil-dependent nations

IV: It was July 20, 1969 when hundreds of millions of people watched on television as Apollo 
11 astronaut, Neil Armstrong, walked on the surface of the moon for the first time. “That’s one 
small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind,” Armstrong said. Those words remain famous 
to this day. The historic trip was not easy. In 1960s, space travel was very dangerous. 
Armstrong said later, “There were just a thousand things to worry about.” Although Armstrong 
was the first astronaut to step on the surface of the Moon, astronauts Edwin Aldrin and Michael 
Collins, whom many people credit for the successful mission, were also aboard Apollo 11. After 
the successful landing, Aldrin and Armstrong planted the U.S. flag on the moon’s soil. They 
collected rocks and left a plaque that read “Here on From Planet Earth First Set Foot Upon The 
Moon. July 1969 A.D. We Came In Peace For All Mankind.” Although the astronauts were 
successful in reaching the moon, another obstacle was returning to earth safely. After 
successfully leaving the moon, the crew landed about 812 nautical miles off the coast of Hawaii 
in the Pacific Ocean. They were met by members of the U.S. Navy to bring them safely to 
shore. Armstrong called their mission the “beginning of a new age.” Although there were 
flights to the moon after Apollo 11’s journey, the last trip to the moon was in 1972. We hope 
there will be many more moon visits to come.
