According to the latest data released on Wednesday, the industry has already handled an impressive 20.09 billion parcels this year alone. The industry has set a new record in terms of efficient parcel handling. It took only 39 days for the industry to handle the first 10 billion parcels and another 28 days for it to process the second 10 billion parcels. This speedy performance can be attributed to the modernization and upgrade of the industry's facilities and technology. Moreover, more than 100 million parcels enter and exit rural areas every day, which has helped people living in these areas access urban amenities and markets that have higher profit potential. In turn, this has contributed to the economic development in both rural and urban areas, thus becoming an important factor driving the country's overall economic growth. However, as the market continues to expand, China recognizes the importance of promoting the high-quality development of the parcel delivery industry while expanding its delivery network. One measure includes strengthening regulations and enforcing industry standards to ensure consumer satisfaction and protect their rights and interests. Additionally, companies are encouraged to pursue innovation and adopt environmentally-friendly practices, such as using electric vehicles or drone deliveries to reduce carbon emissions. In conclusion, China's parcel delivery industry plays a significant role in the country's economic landscape, with its rapid growth supporting economic development and providing convenient services to consumers. By promoting the high-quality development of the industry and expanding the delivery network sustainably, China is poised to maintain its position as a world leader in parcel delivery. 【重点词汇&词组】 1. parcel delivery 包裹投递 /ˈpɑːrsəl dɪˈlɪvəri/ 2. rapid growth 快速增长 /ˈræpɪd ɡroʊθ/ 3. efficient 高效的 /ɪˈfɪʃnt/ 4. handling 处理 /ˈhændlɪŋ/ 5. data 数据 /ˈdeɪtə/ 6. modernization 现代化 /ˌmɑːdərnaɪˈzeɪʃn/ 7. upgrade 升级 /ʌpˈɡreɪd/ 8. facilities 设施 /fəˈsɪlətiːz/ 9. technology 技术 /tekˈnɑːlədʒi/ 10. rural areas 农村地区 /ˈrʊrəl ˈeriz/ 11. urban amenities 城市便利设施 /ˈɜːrbən əˈmiːnətiz/ 12. profit potential 利润潜力 /ˈprɑːfɪt pəˈtenʃl/ 13. economic development 经济发展 /ˌiːkəˌnɑːmɪk dɪˈveləpmənt/ 14. driving the country's overall economic growth 推动国家经济总体增长 /draɪvɪŋ ði ˈkʌntri z oʊvərˌɔːl iˈkɑːnəmɪk ɡroʊθ/ 15. market 市场 /ˈmɑːrkɪt/ 16. expanding 不断扩大 /ɪksˈpændɪŋ/ 17. promoting 提高 /prəˈmoʊtɪŋ/ 18. high-quality development 高质量发展 /haɪ ˈkwɑːləti dɪˈveləpmənt/ 19. delivery network 投递网络 /dɪˈlɪvəri ˈnetwɜːrk/ 20. strengthening 加强 /ˈstreŋkθənɪŋ/ 21. regulations 规定 /ˌreɡjəˈleɪʃnz/ 22. enforcing 实施 /ɪnˈfɔːrsɪŋ/ 23. industry standards 行业标准 /ˈɪndəstri ˈstændərdz/ 24. consumer satisfaction 消费者满意度 /kənˈsuːmər sætɪsˈfækʃən/ 25. protect 保护 /prəˈtekt/ 26. rights 权利 /raɪts/ 27. interests 利益 /ˈɪntrəsts/ 28. companies 公司 /ˈkʌmpəniz/ 29. encouraged 鼓励 /ɪnˈkɜːrɪdʒd/ 30. pursue 追求 /pərˈsuː/ 31. innovation 创新 /ˌɪnəˈveɪʃn/ 32. adopt 采用 /əˈdɑːpt/ 33. environmentally-friendly practices 环保做法 /ɪnˌvaɪrənˈmentəli ˈfrendli ˈpræktɪsɪz/ 34. electric vehicles 电动车 /ɪˈlɛktrɪk ˈvihɪklz/ 35. drone deliveries 无人机投递 /droʊn dɪˈlɪvəriz/ 36. carbon emissions 碳排放 /ˈkɑrbən ɪˈmɪʃənz/ 37. conclusion 结论 /kənˈkluːʒən/ 38. significant role 重要角色 /sɪɡˈnɪfɪkənt roʊl/ 39. economic landscape 经济格局 /ˌiːkəˈnɑ 【阅读理解习题】 1.
