问题
Brian arrived at the San Francisco airport two hours before the flight to Paris. He was wearing three shirts, a jacket, two pairs of socks, a pair of shorts, and two pairs of jeans. He was carrying one small backpack, which was very full, but he didn’t have any other luggage. Brian needed to meet a man named Tony before he checked in for his flight. He found Tony near the Air France counter. Tony gave him a round-trip ticket and a small package.
"Give this package to Jean-Paul at the airport in Paris. He will have a sign with your name on it. I think you can find him easily," Tony said. "You don’t have any luggage, right?"
"Only this backpack," Brian answered. "You said I could bring one carry-on bag."
"That’s right. One carry-on bag is fine. Have a good trip."
"Thanks."
Is Brian a criminal? Not at all. He is an air courier. And he paid only $110 for the round-trip ticket to Paris. Air couriers get cheap airline tickets because they take important packages and papers to foreign countries. Businesses sometimes need to get packages and papers to people in foreign countries by the next day. Often, the only way they can do this is to use an air-courier company. It is not cheap for a business to send a package with an air courier, but it is quick.
Every year about 80,000 people worldwide travel as air couriers. The number of tickets for courier travel is growing by about 10 percent a year. However, air-courier travel isn’t for everyone. But if you have very little money, can be flexible about your travel plans, and don’t mind wearing the same clothes for a week, it can be a great way to take a vacation!
Questions 22 to 25 are based on the passage you have just heard.
22. Why was Brian wearing so many clothes for his travel?
23. What do we learn about an air courier’s job from the passage?
24. Why do businesses choose the air-courier service according to the passage?
25. What is one of the disadvantages of traveling as an air courier?
选项
A、It costs less.
B、It is flexible.
C、It saves time.
D、It grows fast.
答案
C
解析
选项主语均为It以及选项中的costs less,flexible,saves time和grows fast表明,本题考查It的好处。由短文中提到的to use an air—courier company…is not cheap…but it is quick可知,空中信使公司提供的服务并不便宜,但是速度很快。C)中的saves time是对短文中quick的同义转述,故答案为C)。前面提出Businesses的问题,后面给出解决的办法。注意此类“提出问题一给出解决办法”的逻辑关系。
