Automobiles,railroads,trucks and pipelines are the principal means of land transportation. 2 Without our principal means of air transportation—the airplane,we would have to slow down our lives and commerce. Nearly every major city in the world provides some form of public transportation. 3 The most common form is the bus.Buses have been in use in major cities since approximately 1900.They provide transportation service on countless routes from the city center to the suburbs. Subways are mostly found in large cities.The subway is an underground system of high speed trains,which move more quickly and efficiently than buses.And they will deliver you to within walking distance of almost any place in the city. 4 Cabs are more expensive than buses or subways,but they will deliver you to the exact location you want in the shortest time possible. 5 And as an added attraction,many cab drivers will tell you stories about their adventures or even the details of their life stories. If you ever visit a major city in another country,you will probably have no trouble getting around.However,no matter what form of transportation you adopt,you may come to the conclusion that the most inexpensive and reliable form of transportation will be your own two legs. A.Transportation is surely of great importance to us. B.Without transportation modern life wouldn’t exist. C.It is cheap and helps to reduce the traffic problems. D.Ships form the chief means of water transportation. E.You will quickly find out about the heavy traffic during rush hours. F.They are convenient if you are in a hurry or taking along lots of luggage. G.The one drawback of subway trains is that they are often crowded and noisy. 第二部分 语言知识运用(共两节，满分 70 分) 第一节完形填空(共 20 小题；每小题 1 分，满分 20 分) 阅读下面的短文，从短文后各题所给的 A、B、C 和 D 四个选项中，选出可以填入空白 处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 I’ve been into environment-friendly things for ages.

Henry want straight home, and in the afternoon went to school as usual. But Robert had told all the boys that Henry was a coward, and they laughed at him a great deal. From then on, they looked down upon Henry and didn’t want to play with him together. Henry was sad but he wasn’t angry with Robert for his rude behavior, because he learned that true courage is shown most in bearing misunderstanding when it was not deserved, and that he ought to be afraid of nothing but doing wrong. Thus, he just ignored the other boys’ laughter and continued to go to school and study as well. However, Robert didn’t invite Henry to go home with him anymore. Instead, he had some other boys who also thought Henry was a coward. Every day after school，they didn’t go home directly but went to the river or somewhere to play games and had a lot of fun. A few days later, Robert was bathing with his new friends in a river, and got out of his depth. He struggled, and screamed for help, but all in vain.
