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 kilo grams or less.
    Federal Express links 130 major American cities and 10, 000 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 with out fail. In the space of one hour, 39 jets will take off to destinations all across the country.

选项 A、Because it is the largest airport in America.
B、Because it has a good sorting system.
C、Because it has a favorable location.
D、Because it is the most important city for business in America.

答案 C

解析 事实题。浏览选项可知,本题考的是“为什么”,问的是“it”有什么特别的地方:它是否是全美国最大的机场?它是否有一个有效的分类系统?它的地理位置是否优越?它是不是美国最重要的商业城市?听短文时要对这些信息特别关注。联邦快递公司的飞机之所以都飞往田纳西州的孟斐斯国际机场,是因为该机场位于美国中心优越的地理位置,“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.”所以正确答案为C。
