Question

5．BERLIN （Reuters）-Germany's postal service has announced plans to explore improved service and help protect the environment by getting"fetch friends"-ordinary people traveling across cities-to deliver parcels on their way．
It is hoped that the move，which will be tested in the coming months，might lessen traffic in inner cities and reduce CO₂ emissions（排放）．This should help DHL，a division of the German postal service，reach its target of improving the company's carbon efficiency by 30 percent before 2020．
"As the world's biggest logistics（物流） provider，we recognize a special responsibility to reduce the impact on the environment as much as possible，"said Frank Appel，Chief Executive Officer of Deutsche Post DHL，in a statement referring to a variety of measures being considered．
The"fetch friends"find out online about parcels that need delivering to people who live or work along the way that they are planning to travel through the city．They then select the ones that they want to take．
Codes（編碼） sent to their mobile phones tell the volunteers where to pick the packages up．Parcels can be taken part of the way or passed on to another volunteer but all volunteers need to have the right code on their mobile phone so the track and trace system can be updated．
Logistics companies will be responsible for looking after the operation to make sure that the privacy of post is respected．
It's hoped that this could be done using mobile phones but DHL says it recognizes that some security issues remain to be worked out．

分析 本文主要講述的德國(guó)將要實(shí)行的"fetch friends"這一計(jì)劃，讓順路的普通人來(lái)幫助投遞郵件，以達(dá)到環(huán)保的目的．

解答 67．D  細(xì)節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)文章第一段"Germany's postal service has announced plans to explore improved service and help protect the environment by getting"fetch friends"-ordinary people traveling across cities-to deliver parcels on their way．"可知"fetch friends"就是讓普通人幫助投遞郵件包裹，以此實(shí)現(xiàn)環(huán)境保護(hù)的目的．故答案D正確．
68．A  推理判斷題．根據(jù)第二段2，3行"This should help DHL，a division of the German postal service，reach its target of improving the company's carbon efficiency by 30 percent before 2020．"可知DHL是德國(guó)郵寄服務(wù)的一個(gè)分支．也就是說(shuō)它是德國(guó)郵遞行業(yè)的一部分．故答案A正確．
69．C 推理判斷題．根據(jù)文章最后一行"It's hoped that this could be done using mobile phones but DHL says it recognizes that some security issues remain to be worked out"可知DHL要確認(rèn)這一行為的安全性，C項(xiàng)"包裹可能會(huì)被打開(kāi)"屬于安全這一方面的內(nèi)容．故答案C正確．
70．B 標(biāo)題判斷題．本文主要講述的德國(guó)將要實(shí)行的"fetch friends"這一計(jì)劃，讓順路的普通人來(lái)幫助投遞郵件，以達(dá)到環(huán)保的目的．故答案B正確．
