It's a name that needs no address.Everyone knows Santa Claus lives at the North Pole.
So letters sent to Santa Claus find their way to the small town of the North Pole deep in Alaska，including those simply sent to Santa. Last year，120,000 letters arrived from 26 countries，not including the thousands with no return addresses.

Those who have return addresses usually get a reply and a North Pole postmark（邮戳） that has delighted children all over the world for many years. They feel happy to receive Santa's reply.
Letters arrive all the year around in the town of 1,600，where streets have names such as Santa Claus Lane and Kris Kringle Drive. Around Thanksgiving，they start getting there by the thousands each day as Christmas comes. Even letters without stamps get through，an exception（例外）for the U．S. Postal Service.
“This is special because it has Santa's name on it，”said Debra Cornelius，an officer at the main post office in nearby Fairbanks，where the letters are kept during the holiday.
Gabby Gaborik is among several dozen volunteers who are busy sending off replies to children who sent return addresses.
In his 10 years as a volunteer，Gaborik has seen every kind of wish. There are children who want the latest toys they see on TV. There are children who ask for miracles（奇迹），some wanting their mother back for Christmas or their father back from Iraq，even though he died there.
Replies get a North Pole postmark，including a half­moon drawing of Santa's face. Even late letters get a reply，Gaborik said，“It says something like ‘Thanks for writing. Santa's been really busy，’anything the children might want to hear，”he said.

(答案→)D 解析：本文叙述了写给圣诞老人的信不用写地址就可以收到并得到回复的故事。在北极阿拉斯加州有一个小镇，这里有一个圣诞老人命名的街道，所以写给圣诞老人的信不用写地址，人们就知道信会到达阿拉斯加州的圣诞老人街，在那里每天都会收到成千上万封信。有志愿者会回信。甚至这些信可以免费的。【小题1】推理判断题。根据第四段的Letters arrive all the year around in the town of 1,600，where streets have names such as Santa Claus Lane and Kris Kringle Drive. 一年四季信件到达1600人的小镇,在那里有街道名如Santa Claus Lane （圣诞老人巷）and Kris Kringle Drive。从中可知有真实的名为圣诞老人的街道，所以信件只写圣诞老人就可以收到，没用写其他的地址。故选D。 【小题2】词义猜测题。根据第三段的They feel happy to receive Santa's reply.他们收到圣诞老人的回复很高兴。故选A。 【小题3】推理判断题。根据第四段的Even letters without stamps get through，an exception（例外）for the U．S. Postal Service. 甚至这些信没有邮票就能通过,这在美国邮政服务是一个例外。可知写给圣诞老人的信可以免费。故选A。【小题4】标题归纳题。根据全文再讲写给圣诞老人的信，可以不用写地址也可以收到，而且会有志愿者服务回信。故选C。
