For years and years people have been saying that the railways are dead. "We can do without railways" people say, as if motorcars and planes made the railways unnecessary. We all keep hearing that trains are slow, that they lose money, that they’re dying. But this is far from the truth. In these days of expensive oil, the railways have become highly competitive with motorcars and planes. If you want to carry people or goods from place to place, they’re cheaper than planes.
And they have much in common with planes. A plane goes in a strange line and so does a railway. What is more, it takes you from the heart of a city into the heart of another. It doesn’t leave you as a plane does, miles and miles from the city center. It doesn’t hold you up as a car does, in endless traffic jams. And a single train can carry goods which no plane or motorcar could ever do.
Far from being dead, the railways are very much alive. Modern railway lines give you a smooth, untroubled journey. Where else can you eat well, sleep in comfort, feel safe and enjoy the scene while you are traveling at speed at the same time? And we are only at the beginning. For we have just entered the age of super-fast trains, traveling at 150 miles an hour and more. Soon we will be wondering why we spent so much on motorways we can’t use because we have not enough money to buy the oil and planes we can’t fly in for the same reason. [br] According to the author, the disadvantage of cars and planes will be that ______.
选项
A、they can not travel fast enough
B、too much money will be spent on oil
C、they cannot give a smooth, untroubled journey
D、the travelers cannot enjoy the scene in their journey
答案
B
解析
细节推理题。题目询问根据作者的观点,汽车和飞机将有什么缺点。本题答案可从文章第三段末句推测出:汽车和飞机都有相同的缺点,即汽油的开支太大,故选项B为正确答案。
