Funding public transit is one of the biggest problems facing
cities today. Often the trouble is that a few high-cost, low-ridership
routes drag down an entire system. That puts policymakers in a
tough spot. They might eliminate these unprofitable lines, that has【M1】______
been suggested before, but in doing so they would harm a
considerate number of people who rely on that service as their【M2】______
primary mode of transportation.
Over at New Geography, Steve Lafleur revives the debate and
argues that low fares are the part of the reason transit lines are【M3】______
struggling. In response, he offers an admittedly "controversial"
solution: "Transit should operate on a for profit basis and its prices
should closely reflect market forces—if it means that transit fares【M4】______
increase."
The idea of increasing ridership by raising fares is not with【M5】______
some recent precedent. Writing last week at The New York Times
Opinionator blog, Lisa Margonelli points to a study from earlier
this year comparing transit ridership in Germany and the United
States. Over the same period of time, German transit agencies
grew ridership while doing something similar in what Lafleur【M6】______
proposes—namely, increasing fares and slashing service.
More important than fare changes were the limits【M7】______
simultaneously imposed on car travel. While German transit
agencies did their best to attract riders to a higher-quality service,
the government implemented a number of policies that made
driving "less conveniently and more costly". In other words,【M8】______
high fares did lead to greater ridership on German transit, but only【M9】______
when coordinating with harsh automobile policies—not in isolation.【M10】______ [br] 【M5】
选项
答案
with—without或not—去掉not
解析
语篇错误。下文指出德国采取了提高票价、减少线路的措施以增加上座率.由此可见,提高票价的做法是有先例的,故此处应该把with改为without,和前面的not构成双重否定,表示肯定意味,除此之外,此题也可以去掉not。
