Question

閱讀理解 　　As public transportation goes, the system in Shanghai is fairly good．It is reliable, frequent, and cheap．The buses will take you to virtually④ any place in the city．Though the metro(地鐵)is forever overcrowded, it will take you to the major hotspots in downtown cheaply．Even the taxi fare is cheap by North American standards． 　　What may trouble the city in the next decade is how to invest best on transportation infrastructure(設(shè)施)．With the city's population growing rapidly and the 2010 Expo approaching, the transportation system simply cannot handle the expected traffic in the downtown area． 　　Lessons from big cities such as Los Angeles taught us that blindly building more roads and high-ways would only exacerbate(使……惡化)traffic overcrowding．The expansion of the metro and a better bus system will go a long way to relieve the blocking．I think the biggest headache in the near future is that, as more and more people can afford it, there will be more privately-owned cars on the road． 　　Compared to Shanghai, it is a joy to drive in Canada．It is still a major headache to drive in major cities such as Toronto or Vancouver, but only in the downtown center and in rush hours．Since the population is so small in Canada(only 30 million), more people live in residential areas(suburban)away from the downtown area．Land is comparatively cheap so city tends to spread out to a large area． 　　The only convenient way to travel around is by car．Biking is a healthy and environment-friendly way to move around, but it is only possible if you live close to your work and in good weather．The subway system only exists in Toronto and it is very old．Buses can take you to major residential and commercial areas, but it does not run very frequently(at least not so in Vancouver)In the winter, waiting for a bus in rainy, freezing Vancouver weather is very unpleasant． 　　I do have a bone to pick with Shanghai traffic．Despite its wonderful transport infrastructure(基礎(chǔ)), the people hardly ever follow the traffic rules． (1) The transportation system in Shanghai is fairly good．The reasons lie in all the following EXCEPT that ________． [　　] A． the buses can easily arrive where you want to go B． personal bikes are a very important transportation way C． the subway system is fairly available D． you don't have to spend much taking a taxi (2) What could probably be the biggest headache Shanghai will meet in transportation? [　　] A． The stress of transportation caused by the increasing population． B． The stress of transportation caused by the 2010 Expo． C． How to invest best on transportation infrastructure． D． More and more private cars appearing on the road． (3) What may be a good way to decrease the blocking in Shanghai? [　　] A． Building more ways and highways． B． Encouraging citizens to take cars in ways as Canadians do． C． Expanding the metro and developing the bus system． D． Encouraging citizens to buy more private cars． (4) From the underlined sentence we can infer that ________． [　　] A． the author is confident about the future transportation in Shanghai B． the author is uncertain about whether the transportation problem can be solved． C． the author isn't satisfied with Shanghai traffic D． the author is completely disappointed with Shanghai traffic

Answer 1

答案：1．B;2．D;3．C;4．C;
提示：

(1)	文章第一段最后一句告訴讀者上海的交通系統(tǒng)還算良好，其原因涉及了公交汽車(chē)、地鐵以及出租車(chē)，文章沒(méi)有涉及自行車(chē)的話(huà)題。
(2)	文章第三段最后一句告訴讀者上海交通將會(huì)面臨的最大難題是：由于人們購(gòu)買(mǎi)力的增強(qiáng)，會(huì)有越來(lái)越多的私家車(chē)上路，這將給交通帶來(lái)很大的壓力。
(3)	文章第三段第二句告訴讀者解決大城市交通問(wèn)題的有效辦法是延長(zhǎng)地鐵線(xiàn)路和創(chuàng)設(shè)更好的公交體系。
(4)	本題其實(shí)是對(duì)詞組have a bone to pick with sth．的理解。該詞組的意思是“對(duì)……感到不滿(mǎn)意，對(duì)……有所抱怨”；本句話(huà)接下的句子意思是“雖然上海有著良好的交通設(shè)施，可是人們卻很少遵守交通規(guī)則”，從這里我們可以推斷出這個(gè)詞組的意思。
