1.[D]主旨大意题。本文讲述了“联邦快递”公司的创立。其创立者在学生时代就这个想法，后来设法使计划可行。克服了许多困难之后，他筹集到足够的资金，创办了这家公司，只有选项D能概括全文的主要内容。选项A、B、C提到的都只是细节，不是文章的主题。
2.[C]事实细节题。本题考查名词infeasibility的理解。第1段第4句中的less-than-stellar和infeasibility都有助于推断史密斯论文的情况。虽然stellar是超纲词，但是利用构词法可以推断infeasibility是由in+feasibl(e)+ity构成的，并由此可推断其意义为“不可行”,不可行的方案自然分数也不会令人满意了，因此选项C是正确答案。
3.[B]事实细节题。本题考査复合句的理解。选择依据见第2段第1旬。选项A和D说的都是passengersystem,但史密斯关注的是packagedelivery;选项C与本段第2句不符。
4.[A]推理判断题。第2段第2句提到通过中心枢纽城市孟菲斯(throughthecentralizedhubcityofMemphis)运送所有的包裹，由此可推断孟菲斯处于美国中部，选项A正确
