15. the effect of the introduction of electronic delivery F?? This is even more true of the fast-growing information industries. Films and compact discs cost little to transport, even by aeroplane. Computer software can be exported without ever loading it onto a ship, simply by transmitting it over telephone lines from one country to another, so freight rates and cargo-handling schedules become insignificant factors in deciding where to make the product. Businesses can locate based on other considerations, such as the availability of labour, while worrying less about the cost of delivering their output. 16. the similar cost involved in transporting a product from? abroad or from a local supplier. E?? To see how this influences trade, consider the business of making disk drives for computers. Most of the worlds disk-drive manufacturing is concentrated in South-east Asia. This is possible only because disk drives, while valuable, are small and light and so cost little to ship. Computer manufacturers in Japan or Texas will not face hugely bigger freight bills if they import drives from Singapore rather than purchasing them on the domestic market. Distance therefore poses no obstacle to the globalisation of the disk-drive industry. 17. the weakening relationship between the value of goods and the cost of their delivery D?? Countries still trade disproportionately with their geographic neighbours. Over time, however, world output has shifted into goods whose worth is unrelated to their size and weight. Today, it is finished manufactured products that dominate the flow of trade, and, thanks to technological advances such as lightweight components, manufactured goods themselves have tended to become lighter and less bulky. As a result, less transportation is required for every dollars worth of imports or exports. 五、注意 1.大多数情况下，每个题目只能选一个选项。2.有些选项可能会用两次以上。 3.有的选项可能用不上。4.第一题的答案往往在文章的后部，最后一题的答案往往在文章的前部。 5.注意题目的答案要求 NN Heading 标题配对题 特点：难以捉摸 所占比例一直不低，阅读题中Heading 占了4
