highway systems.

transportation.
C.With a car people can go any place they want without spending a lot of money.

①I seldom noticed this problem before.
A.But according to my own experience, I think it has become a problem in Beijing to park cars.
B.There are some car parks in the city, but they are usually located in the center of the city, and in the
main streets, so most of the people find it a problem to find a place to park in alleyway.
C.Because of the alleyways are always very narrow, and when people park the car beside the street, it
greatly influences the traffic of the passers-by.
D.So I think the government should build more public car parks in the city to solve this problem.
②Well, I do not think parking is a problem in Beijing.
A.Most of the public places such as supermarkets, squares, and gardens have considered the problem
of parking, and built a car park or find somewhere to park the cars.
B.So unlike parking problems in western problems, the people can park their cars in the nearest park.
C.Some of the people park their cars beside the road, but because the roads are comparatively wide, it
does not influence the traffic.
alleyway: 小巷e.g.: The traffic jam in alley way is not often serious.
8. What’s the problem with Beijing’s traffic jam?
A.I think the traffic jam in Beijing is terrible.
B.Although the roads in the city is very wide, the traffic is always very crowded, and you have to
tolerate the traffic jam at peak time every day, because there are too many cars in the city.
C.Of course the public transportation in the city is well-developed to solve the problem of
transportation.
D.However, it itself becomes a problem.
E.There are many buses running on the road so that the buses have to wait in line for entering the bus
station.

to wait other cars on the roads.
G.I think the government should do more to solve the problems.
well-developed: 发展良好的e.g.: The industry is well-developed.
9. Do you think how the traffic problems can be best solved?
①Well, I think the best way to solve this problem is to widen the roads and build more cloverleaf
junctions.
A.People have used more traffic lights to control the traffic at the crossroads, but people still have to
wait a long time to pass the crossroad, and there are still many cars jammed around the crossroad.
B.The cloverleaf junctions can solve this problem perfectly, and the cars can pass the crossroad easily
without a stop.
C.What is more, people should build more small roads that connect the main streets, which can
separate the traffic into many directions, and reduce the number of the cars on the main streets.
②I think to widen the roads merely cannot solve the problem easily, because you know, the development
of the roads will never catch up the speed of the development of the cars.
A.So the best way to solve the problem is to encourage people to take public transportation lines or
encourage people to ride their bicycles.
B.It is the best way to reduce the number of the cars that are running on the roads.
widen: 加宽；拓宽cloverleaf junction:立交桥
jam: 拥挤；堵塞e.g.: That is a road jammed with numerous cars.
crossroad: 十字路口e.g.: When you cross the crossroads, you must be careful.

and the traffic jam cannot stop the bicycles, because it can travel through the narrow lanes.
A.But it is very slow and usually makes people tired out when riding up the ramps.
paratively, the cars are much faster, and comfortable.
C.However, it is not the transportation that is available fo r the common people.
D.The best choice in the city is the public transportation, because it is very cheap and convenient for the
common people.
②Well, I think in the big city like Wuhan, bicycles are not the usually employed transportations any
more.
A.Because the city is too large, and it takes a long time to go somewhere in the city.
B.The best transportation in the city is the public transportation, because it is very cheap, and very fast
comparatively.

Do you know anything else about cars and bikes?
Let’s look at the following passages.
And answer the questions at the beginning.

Passage A---A Modal Summary on Transportation
难度:
How many kinds of transportation do you know and what do they contain?
Why do people choose these ways of transport?
What changes have happened on cars in the recent years?
What do you think that the private cars should be restricted?
How to do?
There are different forms of transport, both public and private. Public transport includes buses, trolley buses, trains, taxis and underground. Private transport includes bicycles, cars and motorbikes. What forms of transport people depends on their needs, their preferences and their pocket.
Nowadays most cities have buses and other means of public transportation, but people still prefer to own their own form of transport. They do this for various reasons. Some people want to save time in traveling. Some want more comfort and independence while they are traveling. Some simply want to show off, that is, to impress other people. China is already a bicycle kingdom. Almost every family has one or two bicycles. With greater affluence and leisure has come the urge to buy private cars. In recent years there has been a big increase in the number of cars owned by individuals. I think this is inevitable. I don’t agree that the number of private cars should be restricted. On the contrary, I suggest that we should do our best to develop our car industry so that more and more people can afford to buy their own cars. With the development of the car industry our road systems should be developed. More roads and more car parks should be built to cater for the ever-increasing number of cars.
Passage B---Transport in Beijing
难度:
What about transport in Beijing?
How do you like it?
People in Beijing take bicycles as the most employed transportation when they go somewhere. There are not many cars in the city, so it is quite wide to ride on the road inside the city. My hometown is not very large, you know. It takes only half an hour to travel across the city by bicycle. It is very cheap, and it is quite good for people’s health. For me, I go to work by bicycle. Riding a bicycle is very convenient because a bicycle
can take me anywhere and it causes no pollution. Besides, it gives me the opportunity to do some physical exercise. I can keep a good figure if I keep riding a bike for a long time. But if I have to go a long distance, I will choose a bus or a taxi; otherwise it would make you very tired and waste your time.
When I am holiday, I may take a train. It is always a happy time for me, because I can meet various people on the trains. I usually chat with people sitting beside me, and they are always very glad to talk to me too. I think it is a good way to pass the boring time. We talk about various things, such as our experience, our opinions on certain topics, or the news around the world. I usually forget the time on the train. Different people have different styles of talking, and sometimes we have arguments with each other. It is a very funny experience for me.
However, with the development of Chinese economy, cars are growing more popular these days. There are two main reasons for this. First of all, big cities are spread out and much more closely linked with other ones with advanced highway systems. People like to move around in it. Cars provide the most comfortable and convenient form of transportation. With a car people can go any place they want without spending a lot of money. I think the important reason is that people want to be independent. They don’t like to wait for a bus, or a train. They don’t lik e to have to follow an exact schedule. A car gives them the freedom to schedule their own time. And this is the freedom that most car owners want most to have. Of course, when you take a plane or a train; you must catch plane or train according to plane or train timetable. So the most convenient mode of transport is car, you can travel anytime and anywhere you like.
With the number of cars increasing, the traffic jam in Beijing arises. I think the traffic jam in Beijing is terrible. Although the roads in the city is very wide, the traffic is always very crowded, and you have to tolerate the traffic jam at peak time every day, because there are too many cars in the city. Of course the public transportation in the city is well-developed to solve the problem of transportation. However, it itself becomes a problem. There are many buses running on the road so that the buses have to wait in line for entering the bus station. Sometimes it takes ten minutes to leave the bus station. Because of the traffic jam, the buses also have to wait other cars on the roads. I think the government should do more to solve the problems. Well, I think the best way to solve this problem is to widen the roads and build more cloverleaf junctions. People have used more traffic lights to control the traffic at the crossroads, but people still have to wait a long time to pass the crossroad, and there are still many cars jammed around the crossroad. The cloverleaf junctions can solve this problem perfectly, and the cars can pass the crossroad easily without a stop. What is more, people should build more small roads that connect the main streets, which can separate the traffic into many directions, and reduce the number of the cars on the main streets. I believe in a bright future of transportation in Beijing.
Passage C---Transport in China and the USA
难度:
Why do we call China “Kingdom of Bicycles”?
What about America?
What’s the difference between these two countries?
China is a “Kingdom of Bicycle s”. Everyone rides a bike here. People ride it to school, to work, to the beaches and the mountains. They think outdoor cycling will make them healthy and strong. Apart from this reason, riding provides protection against some pollution.
On the contrary, Americans are a people on the wheel. Wherever you go, you will see cars. There are so many cars that there is a traffic jam here and where. Now some Americans would not consider it a healthy way of life. As a matter of fact, it’s quite disturbing to realize that they are being reduced to a group of machine-bound people. Some Americans are firmly opposed to the advancement of the crushing motor wheel. Does it mean we should give up automobiles altogether for bicycles? No. we should discourage the use of cars as much as possible to save our environment and the energy.
Everyone wants to reduce pollution. But the pollution problem is very serious. People operate motor
vehicles and the exhaust from them causes a large percentage of all air pollution. On the other hand, the need for energy increases every day, and some sources of energy are being used up quickly. Oil will last for no more than 40 years, while coal could last 300 years. The way we’re heading is towards a world where people are going to go cold and hungry. Now in China many rich men live away from downtown. On holidays they go to some big cities and places of historical interest, so most of them choose to own cars. In a way, it will be more convenient for them.。
