Passage 1WASHINGTONEarlier today,the United States Postal Service and FedEx Express saidthey have renewed their Global Express Guaranteed (GXG)alliance.Terms of the agreement were not disclosed.USPS officials said that GXG is comprised of its date-certain international deliveryservice to more than 190 countries and territories,adding that GXG shipping labelsand packaging feature both USPS and FedEx logos.USPS and FedEx began offering this joint service in July 2004.Prior to that,USPS hada similar arrangement with DHL.With GXG,customers drop off packages at their localpost offices at which point FedEx picks up those packages,sorts them,and handles thecountry-to-country linehaul and final delivery.USPS and FedEx said that GXG is available at thousands of participating postalretail locations and through Click-N-Ship online at .“This partnership makes sense,because FedEx does a good job on internationalshipments and charges a reasonable price,” said Doug Caldwell,executive vicepresident of ParcelPool,a parcel consultancy.A nice feature of GXG cited by Caldwell is that “the price you pay is the price youpay,” as there are not as many add-on chargesor accessorialwhich can often beextensive with international shipments.And oftentimes,he said shippinginternationally with the USPS can be more costbeneficial than a private carrier dueto negotiated discounts.He added if shippers have a clear understanding of theirdelivery costs between point A and point B,particularly if they are subject to anextended area surcharge,shipping with the USPS can be less expensive.(1). Which of the following statements about USPS is NOT correct?(A). USPS is the abbreviation for the United States Postal Service.(B).

Passage 2Is the freight market still declining,stabilizing or possibly even recovering?Theanswer seems to vary with every analyst and report that is published.Some analystssee the US economy still suffering with almost ten percent unemployment and theChinese economy still rather volatile(反复无常的),which of course impacts importsinto the US.On the other hand,the larger US transportation companies are doing their best totalk their way into a recovery by announcing that freight volumes are somewhatstable and they expect that trend to continue through the third and fourth quartersof 2009.However,is this a result of smaller companies being squeezedout,effectively reducing capacity which in turn increases the bottom line for thelarger carriers?The US freight market is tied to consumer confidence and until spending increasesthe freight companies will have to look to cost cutting to increase profits orreduce losses.A recent report from the US Commerce Department shows that retailsales in May increased by 0.5% over April,but this single indicator does not mean anend to the recession.With the variety of reports showing that there is no overallupward trend,the freight companies are still going to have to wait a bit longer forthat real good news.(1).

Passage 3Inventory is the total amount of goods and/or materials contained in a store orfactory at any given time.Store owners need to know the precise number of items ontheir shelves and storage areas in order to place orders or control losses.Factorymanagers need to know how many units of their products are available for customerorders.Restaurants need to order more food based on their current supplies and menuneeds.All of these businesses rely on an inventory count to provide answers.The word “inventory” can refer to both the total amount of goods and the act ofcounting them.Many companies take an inventory of their supplies on a regular basisin order to avoid running out of popular items.Others take an inventory to ensurethe number of items ordered matches the actual number of items countedphysically.Shortages or overages after an inventory can indicate a problem withtheft(called“shrinkage” in retail circles)or inaccurate accounting practices.Restaurants and other retail businesses which take frequent inventories may use a“par” system based on the results.The inventory itself may reveal 10 apples,12oranges and 8 bananas on the produce shelf,for example.The preferred number of eachitem is listed on a “par sheet”,a master list of all the items in therestaurant.If the par sheet calls for 20 apples,15 oranges and 10 bananas,then themanager knows to place an order for 10 apples,3 oranges and 2 bananas to reach thepar number.This same principle holds true for any other retail business with anumber of different product lines.Companies also take an inventory every quarter in order to generate numbers forfinancial reports and tax records.Ideally,most companies want to have just enoughinventories to meet current orders.Having too many products languishing in awarehouse can make a company look less appealing to investors and potentialcustomers.Quite often a company will offer significant discounts if the inventorynumbers are high and sales are low.This is commonly seen in new car dealerships asthe manufacturers release the next years models before the current vehicles on thelot have been sold.Furniture companies may also offer “inventory reduction sales”in order to clear out their showrooms for newer merchandise.(1). The passage tells us that inventory is important to _.(A). store owners(B). factory managers(C). restaurants(D). all of those businesses答案：D(2). Which of the following statements is TRUE?(A). Inventory refers to the total amount of goods only.(B). Inventory refers to the act of counting goods only.(C). Too few inventories may cause problems to the company.(D).

Restaurants and other retail businesses which take frequent inventoriesmay use a par system based on the results.(B). The inventory itself may reveal 10 apples,12 oranges and 8 bananas on theproduce shelf,for example.(C). The preferred number of each item is listed on a par sheet,a masterlist of all the items in the restaurant.(D). If the par sheet calls for 20 apples,15 oranges and 10 bananas,then themanager knows to place an order for 10 apples,3 oranges and 2 bananas to reachthe par number.答案：A(4). If the inventory numbers within a company are too high,the company may_.(A). offer discounts(B). keep the inventories that way (C). clean the warehouse(D). use a par system答案：A(5).
