In the 19th Century and early 20th Century, railway trains had a vital
role. In the later half of the 20th Century, the motorcar and the aircraft have 【M1】______
eroded the importance of railway travel.
However, new technology, high-speed rail, has enabled some train ser
vices to be faster and more convenient than the motorcar and aircraft. Mod
ern jet aircrafts can travel at great speed; there is no doubt about that. Trains, 【M2】______
however, travel with a maximum of 186mph or 300km/h. This is consider- 【M3】______
ably less than the aircraft, only about one third of the speed. So how can
they still compete? Aircraft has crucial disadvantages. First of all, airports 【M4】______
exist out of town. This is because they take a large amount of room, often 【M5】______
several square miles as with major airports. To get to the airport people face
a trip, often in the region of 30 minutes. 【M6】______
Train stations, on the other hand, usually exist in the centre of cities, for
historical reasons. Even there is no room for a train station, it can be built 【M7】______
underground, so there would be no reason for a major station not to be at the
heart of the city. Hence journey time to and from stations is considerately 【M8】______
less than to airports.
Secondly, there is bureaucracy. Airports require people to check-in, leav
ing baggages behind, and provide their tickets all the time. People are usu- 【M9】______
ally requested by the airline to arrive early. There is no such thing in trains,
you just find out the platform and walk straight into it. 【M10】______ [br] 【M6】
选项
答案
trip—journey
解析
此题的错误源于对trip的误用。trip没有“旅程”的意思,即a distance to be traveled or thetime required for a trip,而此句中应该用journey表达这个意思。
