Federal Express is a private airline service. It expands the Postal Service in the United States. It is the only U. S. airline specializing in the transportation of small packages--35 kilograms or less.
    Federal Express links 130 major American cities and 10000 surrounding communities. An urgent package picked up in one part of the country this afternoon can be delivered to any other part of the country tomorrow morning. All of the Federal Express jets fly into the International Airport at Memphis, Tennessee, because it is located in the center of the United States.
    The sorting system for Federal Express is called "The Hub". Every night, from about 12 midnight to 3 am, the packages are gathered and sorted into shipments for specific destinations. The main labor force is comprised of students working part-time.
    Since Federal Express started business in 1971, it has flown millions of air kilometers without fail. In the space of one hour, 39 jets will take off to destinations all across the country.

27.How many important U. S. cities does Federal Express link?
28.Why do all Federal Express planes fly into the International Airport at Memphis, Tennessee?
选项 A、Its private airline service.
B、Being an American Post Office.
C、Its transporting small packages.
D、The low cost of its service.
答案C
解析 事实题。本文介绍闻名全球的美国联邦快递公司。听短文之前，浏览选项可知，四个短语选项都是在描述一个“东西”的性质，所以在听录音时，要特别留心短文对这个“东西”说明性质特征的信息。美国私营的航空公司不止Federal Express一家，选项A不正确；联邦快递公司Federal Express经营邮递业务，但原文并未说它是美国的邮政局，选项B不正确；联邦快递Federal Express是美国唯一专门投递重量不超过35公斤的小包裹的航空公司，抓听到“It is the only U. S. airline specializing in the transportation of small packages—35 kilograms or less.”可知，选项c正是联邦快递Federal Express与众不同之处，为正确答案；选项D未曾提及。
