Before you know how much you’re going to pay, you need to make a few decisions: You have to know what you plan to 31 , where it’s going and how quickly it needs to get there. Standard domestic second-day delivery—from San Francisco to New York, for example—typically runs between $7 to $9 for a letter 32 less than one pound. So-called “first overnight” services, which 33 delivery early the next morning, start at around $40 per item. Most services charge by the pound for large packages, and you’ll pay 34 for unscheduled courier pickups, irregularly shaped items and perishable or 35 products. International express delivery services can be 36 . Second-day 37 to major European and Canadian cities starts at about $22 to $25 in most cases, and goes up based on the weight of the package and its destination. If you want to deliver an express letter to Tirana, Albania, for instance, you’ll pay about $65 to get it there in two days via FedEx or USPS. Can you save money using a particular shipping service? Sometimes, although most of the major services keep their prices comparable in order to 38 with one another, if you really want to save money, consider using a shipper’s second- or third-day service, which is always much less expensive than next-day delivery. Cheaper still is USPS Priority Mail, which usually (but not always) delivers within two or three days and charges as little as $3.95 for 39 weighing less than two pounds. If you’re more concerned about security than speed, you might want to use less expensive USPS services such as delivery 40 or certified mail. 31. A. ship B. take C. send D. go 32. A. weight B. weighing C. size D. weighs 33. A. insure B. prove C. guarantee D. guard 34. A. surcharges B. charge C. fees D. costs 35. A. various B. risky C. hazardous D. spacious 36.

A. boxes B. parcels C. services D. packages 40. A. confirmation B. certification C. information D. concentration Section C Directions：Read the following passage and the statements that follow. Choose the best answer for each statement from the three choices marked A, B, and C, and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center. Somewhere in the world a new McDonald’s opens every 3 hours and Now they have further plans for our community What’s wrong with the McDonald’s planning application? Why the big Mac is a big market for our community? McDonald’s (the $30 billion multinational fast-food chain) has lodged a planning application to build a “Drive-Thru” restaurant in our area. If allowed to go ahead, their proposal will bring significant and unwelcome changes to our community. While there are numerous reasons to object to McDonald’s in general, there are a number of specific issues relevant to this planning application. Traffic and Safety While the government and local authorities are being encouraged to make decisions that reduce traffic levels and the dependence on car use, it is ironic that McDonald’s expansion plans revolve around “Drive-Thrus”. If their application is approved, we will experience a significant rise in traffic levels in our already busy area. The new traffic created will cause nuisance to existing traffic and increase the danger of accidents for pedestrians. Litter, Noise and Smells While our area already suffers from noticeable litter and vandalism (故意破坏), the planned McDonald’s will only make things worse. The proposal includes very long opening hours (7 am-11 pm, 7 days a week), and will result in noise and disturbances at all hours for local residents. During the hot summer months, the smell from the kitchens, from waste storage and from litter discarded by customers may become offensive and attract vermin. Community and Local Business Neon lights, tacky signs and adverts will change the character of the area and may represent the start of an unwelcome trend in our locality. Existing local businesses will lose trade to multinationals that will drain the life-blood from our community. While McDonald’s claims to offer new job opportunities, the majority of the jobs will be low paid, non-skilled, part-time jobs with no guaranteed hours. As local businesses lose trade, people already employed may find themselves made redundant. McDonald’s must not be allowed to spoil our community! 41.
