Have you ever considered how important transportation is to the world? 36 We would have to get or make our own food, our own clothes, even our books, and newspapers. Everything that we have come to depend on is brought to us. Even the water that we drink is transported through pipelines from wells to our homes and offices. We have come to depend on the availability of three principal kinds of transportation: land, sea and air.
Automobiles, railroads, trucks and pipelines are the principal means of land transportation. 37 Without our principal means of air transportation, the airplane, we would have to slow down our lives and commerce.
Nearly every major city in the world provides some form of public transportation. 38 The most common form is the bus. Buses have been in use in major cities since approximately 1900. They provide transportation service on countless routes from the city center to the suburbs.
Subways are mostly found in large cities. The subway is an underground system of high speed trains, which move more quickly and efficiently than buses. And they will deliver you to within walking distance of almost any place in the city. 39
Cabs are more expensive than buses or subways, but they will deliver you to the exact location you want in the shortest time possible. 40 And as an added attraction, many
cab drivers will tell you stories about their adventures or even the details of their life stories.
If you ever visit a major city in another country, you will probably have no trouble getting around. However, no matter what form of transportation you adopt, you may come to the conclusion that the most inexpensive and reliable form of transportation will be your own two legs.
A. Transportation is surely of great importance to us. B. Without transportation modern life wouldn’t exist. C. It is cheap and helps to reduce the traffic problems. D. Ships form the chief means of water transportation.
E. You will quickly find out about the heavy traffic during rush hours. F. They are convenient if you are in a hurry or taking along lots of luggage. G. The one drawback of subway trains is that they are often crowded and noisy. 第三部分 英语知识运用(共两节,满分45分)
