36、 or complete the statement. You must choose the one which you think fits best. Blacken the corresponding letter as required on your Machine-scoring ANSWER SHEET.Questions 61-70 are based on the following passage.While some international Ucouriers/U are showing signs of exhaustion, EMS (Express Mail

37、Service), the generic name for the courier services of post offices, seems to be finding its Ustride/U. Known as Datapost in Britain, as Chronopost in France, and as A1-Barid al-Mumtaz in Saudi Arabia, EMS is now second in the international courier business (jointly with TNT Skypack). Last year it d

38、elivered 5.6 million items, weighing less than 20 kilograms each, across borders. That and its annual growth rate of around 5 percent have worried DHL, the market leader, enough for it to counter-attack in the Courts.On October 26, a Dutch judge ruled against DHL on all three counts filed against th

42、icially a monopoly, they pay it a fee. In Switzerland DHL says it pays more than SFr lm ($ 708,000) “to the competition“ each year. In France the couriers have won a battle for exoneration.Although governments are under little pressure to keep prices artificially low, EMS is often cheaper than the p

43、rivate couriers, but not always. A recent test in Britain (on a domestic route) showed Datapost about halfway between the least and the most expensive, but gave it full marks for speed and service.Each national EMS is free to set its rates and follow its own rules on things like bulk discounts. The

44、Universal Postal Union, based in Berne, determines how costs and revenues are split between sending and receiving countries, and standardizes procedures. More than 100 postal administrations have linked into the systemand more are coming, including Russias. That makes the feisty EMS particularly hap
