答案     The line graph illustrates the amount of goods delivered by four different types of transport in the UK from 1974 to 2002.
    The quantity of goods transported by road was always the highest. In 1974, it was about 70 million tonnes, which was much higher than the quantities delivered by other transports, roughly 40 million for water and rail and just 5 million for pipeline. Then, it showed an overall increasing trend, though there were occasional fluctuations before it reached slightly less than 100 million tonnes in 2002.
    The amounts of goods transported by water and rail were very close in the first 4 years of this time period. However, since 1978 they showed different developing trends, generally upward for water and downward for rail. In 2002 the quantity delivered by water reached 65 million tonnes and that of rail also exceeded the level of 1974, because since 1995 it started to rise again.
    The amount of goods carried by pipeline was always the least, but it kept climbing from 5 million tonnes in 1974 to 22 million tonnes in 1995, when it plateaued at that level till 2002.
    In summary, the quantities of goods delivered in the UK by four different means of transport showed an overall rising trend, except for the rail which fluctuated in the period in question.
