The Atlanta based giant said theservice，which is now in effect，is ideal for customers who want the convenience of a scheduled pickup but who may not need to ship a package every day．The move，which is part of the company’s Decision Green environmental program, is designed to help the carrier reduce the amount of fuel it burns．Company executives said the new initiative will eliminate 8 million miles from the total driven by UPS each year in the United States．UPS said it will save 793，000 gallons of fuel and cut 7，800 metric tons of CO2 emissions as a result．“Before UPS Smart Pickup，UPS would often arrive at a customer’s location only to discover that the customer had no packages for pickup that day，” said David Barnes，UPS’s chief information officer，in a statement．“For the first time，a UPS service integrates the company’s operational and customer facing technology to eliminate unnecessary stops.”Barnes said a customer using existing UPS shipping technology will be able to process a package for shipment each day prior to a predetermined cutoff time．The shipping system then automatically communicates with the carrier’s internal operations systems to notify drivers via their handheld computers that a pickup is required，without the need for the customer to make a phone call or schedule a shipment online．The result is that a pickup is only scheduled when a customer processes a package in a UPS shipping system．Barnes said．Barnes said the service is a good choice for customers“interested in cost-effective ways to make environmentally responsible choices，while at the same time helping UPS reduce miles and lessen our carbon footprint．”UPS will charge a weekly flat fee of $10 for the service.(1). “Prior to”in Paragraph 5 means．(A). before (B). better than (C). worse than (D). later than(2).

This new service helps to save the earth．(C). This new service is a request by a new federal law．(D). This new service saves cost．(5). It can be inferred from the passage that _____．(A). UPS works well with small-sized enterprises(B). cost is the concern of UPS(C). UPS loves innovation(D). big enterprises generally will have packages picked up every dayPassage 3Unless your company only uses one vendor for each item they purchase，there will enviably be occasion when a decision has to be made as to which vendor gets your business. There are many different scenarios when this will occur，for example when the item is purchased for the first time and when an item is no longer singly sourced.Purchasing An Item For The First TimeWhen a decision has to be made between vendors，the purchasing department will use some vendor evaluation method to be their tool in the decision. If the item is to be bought for the first time, the purchasing department may have contacted a number of vendors and sent them a Request for Quotation(RFQ)．Each vendor would then complete the RFQ with the information that was required．The purchasing department would thenuse these completed quotations，in conjunction with other information they have collected on the vendors, to make short list for further evaluation or make a final selection. The purchasing department would evaluate the vendors based on a number of criteria they had decided upon which may include objective criteria such as price and warranty and subjective data which would include past experience with the vendor. Based on the weighting given to these criteria the purchasing department would be able to fairly evaluate each vendor．Choosing Between VendorsIf the sourcing of an item has been from a single vendor but another vendor has been approved to supply the same item，a decision would need to be made on vendor selection when a requisition has been received by the purchasing department．Many companies use a vendor evaluation tool that allows transaction data to be analyzed to give a comparison between vendors．The vendor evaluation uses criteria that have been determined by the purchasing department to compare vendors such as price，delivery reliability，delivery date adherence and quality of the item．There are many numbers of criteria that can be used in a comparison and these are usually weighted so that important criteria are given more credence(信任).ConclusionVendor evaluation is important as it can reduce supply chain costs and improve the quality and timeliness of the delivery of items to your company．The skill in evaluating vendors is to determine which criteria are important and the weighting that these criteria are given．It is important to remember that these criteria may be different for each item you are sourcing and possibly different between regions or countries．Objective data is useful to compare the information that you can obtain from each purchase order and goods receipt, but sometimes the subjective data that your purchasing agents can provide such as customer service and the willingness of the vendor to accommodate your requirements, is as or more important in a vendor evaluation．(1). According to the passage, customer service belongs to _____.(A). subjective criteria(B). objective criteria(C). the most important criterion(D). the last criterion that should be considered(2). Why does the purchasing department send vendors a Request for Quotation (RFQ)?(A). The purchasing department needs to prove that they have contacted more than one vendor.(B). The purchasing department uses RFQ as a tool so that the department staff does not need to go to the vendor for information．(C). The purchasing department will rely on the information from RFQ to decide which vendor is the best choice.(D). The purchasing department has contracts with vendors．(3). Which of the following is the definition of "adherence" in Paragraph 3?(A). To follow the rule decided by both parties．(B). When someone behaves according to a particular rule，belief，principle etc．(C). To finish something before headline．(D). Timeless．(4). Why is vendor evaluation important？(A). It saves cost．(B). It guarantees the quality of the items bought．(C). It guarantees that the delivery time is alright.(D). All of the above．(5). When evaluating vendors，you should know that _____．(A). criteria may vary(B). RFQ is a must(C). comparisons should be quantitative(D). purchasing department need have no direct contact with vendors三、术语翻译根据题目要求，将下列术语分别译成汉语或英语，译文写在答题纸上相应的位置。
