ReadingNow we are going to read an article entitled Traffic Accidents and Road Safety. From the title, what information do you think the reading passage will give us? (It will mainly talk about two things: the causes of traffic accidents and how to be safe on the road.)Answers1 Traffic accidents involving vehicles are mainly caused by drivers who make incorrect actions, such as not paying attention while driving, being impatient in a traffic jam, speaking on a mobile phone while driving, drinking alcohol, speeding and so on.2 Accidents involving bicycles are usually caused because cyclists are not paying attention to the cars around them, or carrying a passenger. Sometimes accidents occur with bicycles when the brakes on their bicycles do not work properly or their bicycles do not use lights at night.3 There should be a light on the bicycle.4 Pedestrians should always cross roads on a crossing. While crossing, they should look both ways and listen for cars.2. Let’s check your understanding of the reading passage by more questions.1) What is the purpose of the notice?________________________________________________________________________ 2)What is the most common cause of accidents?________________________________________________________________________ 3) Why is it dangerous for drivers to speak on mobile phones?________________________________________________________________________4) Can cyclists ride on the pavement?

In particular, traffic engineers, transportation planners, and public officials responsible for transpor- tation systems in large cities are frequently criticized for failing to solve traffic jam.But is traffic jam a sign of failure? Long queues at restaurants or theater’s box offices are seen as signs of success. Should transportation systems be viewed any differently? I think we should recognize that traffic jam is an unpreventable by-product of successful cities, and view the “traffic problem” in a different light.Cities exist because they promote social inter- actions and economic transactions.Traffic jam occurs where there are lots of people but limited spaces. Culturally and economically successful cities have the worst traffic problems, while decaying cities don’t have much traffic. New York and Los Angeles are America’s most crowded cities. But if you want access to major brokerage houses(经纪行), you will find them easier to reach incrowded New York than in any other large cities. And if your firm needs access to post-production film editors or satellite-guidance engineers, you will reach them more quickly through the crowded freeways of LA than through less crowded roads elsewhere.Despite traffic jam, a larger number and wider variety of social interactions and economic transactions can be made perfect in large, crowded cities than elsewhere. Seen in this light, traffic jam is an unfortunate consequence of prosperity, not a cause of economic decline and urban decay.So while we can consider traffic jam as increasing costs on the areas of big cities, the costs of inaccessibility(交通不便) in uncrowded places are almost certainly greater.There is no doubt that traffic jam brings the terrible economic and environmental damage in places like Bangkok, Jakarta, and Lagos. But mobility is far higher and traffic jam levels are far lower here in the US, even in our most crowded cities. That’s why, for now, we don’t see people and capital streaming out of San Francisco and Chicago, heading for cities like California, and Illinois.1. We can conclude from the first paragraph that _____.A. traffic jam and weather are the two factorspreventing the development of the big cityB. traffic jam seems to be very difficult to deal withC. if traffic engineers try their best, traffic jam canbe solvedD. public officials are always criticized for misusingtheir power2. According to the passage, what’s the author’s opinion towards traffic jam?A. In cities, traffic jam is unavoidable.B. Traffic jam is both a sign of failure and a sign ofsuccess.C. Traffic jam is the consequence of successful cities.D. For a successful city, traffic jam is not unpreventable.3. By saying “decaying” (in Para. 4), the writer probably means _____.A. decliningB. developingC. rich and successfulD. strong and healthy4. According to this article, which statement about “New York” and “Los Angeles” is TRUE?A. The traffic jam in the two cities has been worsened.B. New York and Los Angeles are the most success-ful cities in the USA.C. It is easier to reach major brokerage houses in thetwo cities than in other cities.D. Despite the traffic jam in LA, you’ll find a satellite-guidance engineer more quickly there.Ⅴ.任务型阅读请认真阅读下列短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入最恰当的单词。

Unit 4Public transport从北京到上海，只需要288分钟！中国的高铁时代已经到来，越来越多的旅客会放弃飞机而选择火车。

Bin Railway DreamsImagine, one day, getting out of bed in Beijing and being at your office in Shanghai in only a couple of hours，and then，after a full day of work, going back home to Beijing and having dinner there.Sounds unusual，doesn't it? But it's not that unrealistic, with the development of China's high-speed railway plan to connect the country with Southeast Asia, and eventually Eastern Europe.China is negotiating to extend its own high-speed railway network to up to 17 countries in 10 to 15 years, eventually reaching London and Singapore.If China's plan for the high-speed railway goes forward, people could zip over from London to Beijing in under two days.The new system would still follow China's high-speed railway standard.And the trains would be able to go 346 kilometers an hour, almost as fast as some airplanes.Of course, there are some technical challenges to overcome.There are so many issues that need to be settled, such as safety, rail gauge(轨距), maintenance(维修) of railway tracks.So, it's important to pay attention to every detail.It'll be a win-win project.For other countries, the railway network will definitely create more opportunities for business, tourism and so on, not to mention the better communication among those countries.For China, such a project would not only connect it with the rest of Asia and bring some much-needed resources, but would also help develop China's far west.We foresee that in the coming decades, millions of people will migrate to the western regions, where the land is empty and resources are unused.With high-speed trains, people will set up factories and business centers in the west once and for all.And they'll trade with Central Asian and Eastern European countries.1．unrealistic adj.不现实的，不切实际的2．negotiate v i.&v t. 谈判，协商3．zip v i. 疾行前往4．technical adj. 技术的，技术上的5．definitely ad v. 确切地，肯定地6．migrate v i. 迁徙，移居1．What benefits do you think the high-speed railway system can bring us?________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________ 2．Are there any problems in the railway network? Please make a list.________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 1.It can create more opportunities for business, tourism，and make better communication and so on. 2.There are some technical challenges to overcome, such as safety, rail gauge, maintenance of railway tracks.。

Read the passage about public transport in Shanghai and decide which statements are true (T) and which are false (F).A more efficient public transport network desiredShanghai has seen great improvement of local public transport over the past decade. However，traffic jam is still an often occurrence (发生的事情) in local people's daily lives. Local people demand for a more efficient public transport network.Ten years ago，local people had no choice but to take the bus. During the winter of 1991，passengers flew on city buses averaged around 16 million per day. Since then，huge developments in the city's public transport infrastructure (基础设施) have been made. Three urban (城市的) rail lines stretching a total of more than 70 kilometers have been built，providing convenient light rail and subway services for the public. And the total length of city roads has doubled with the construction of elevated (提高的) ring roads and a series of cross-river links.However，with more people buying newly developed properties along the urban rail lines，the city's subway and light rail has become increasingly crowded. Moreover，the number of vehicles on the city's roads has skyrocketed (急剧上升) five times the figure a decade ago.Transport authorities in Shanghai say measures will be strengthened to improve public transport in the new year to ease traffic conditions. Recently，a new regulation prohibited (禁止) all vehicles coming from outside Shanghai，learner drivers and taxis without passengers from using the city's elevated highways during rush hours. And，officials are currently cracking down on all illegal parking lots.Meanwhile，city government is planning new transport infrastructure projects to meet the demands of the city's growing population. Authorities say a number of key transport projects including the magnetic levitation train and the Lupu Bridge are expected to be completed next year and will hopefully relieve the city's current traffic pressures.1) Nowadays residents in Shanghai are satisfied with the public transport system.2) Ten years ago residents can only took buses in Shanghai.3) Transport authorities in Shanghai are taking measures to meet the demands of the localresidents.4) If you are driving from Nanjing to Shanghai，you are not allowed to use the city’s elevated highways.Step 5: Homework:1. Parts B1 and B2 on page 127 of the Workbook.2. Prepare the Part Grammar and usage.。

In particular, traffic engineers, transportation planners, and public officials responsible for transpor- tation systems in large cities are frequently criticized for failing to solve traffic jam.But is traffic jam a sign of failure? Long queues at restaurants or theater’s box offices are seen as signs of success. Should transportation systems be viewed any differently? I think we should recognize that traffic jam is an unpreventable by-product of successful cities, and view the “traffic problem” in a different light.Cities exist because they promote social inter- actions and economic transactions.Traffic jam occurs where there are lots of people but limited spaces. Culturally and economically successful cities have the worst traffic problems, while decaying cities don’t have much traffic. New York and Los Angeles are America’s most crowded cities. But if you want access to major brokerage houses(经纪行), you will find them easier to reach in crowded New York than in any other large cities. And if your firm needs access to post-production film editors or satellite-guidance engineers, you will reach them more quickly through the crowded freeways of LA than through less crowded roads elsewhere.Despite traffic jam, a larger number and wider variety of social interactions and economic transactions can be made perfect in large, crowded cities than elsewhere. Seen in this light, traffic jam is an unfortunate consequence of prosperity, not a causeof economic decline and urban decay.So while we can consider traffic jam as increasing costs on the areas of big cities, the costs of inaccessibility(交通不便) in uncrowded places are almost certainly greater.There is no doubt that traffic jam brings the terrible economic and environmental damage in places like Bangkok, Jakarta, and Lagos. But mobility is far higher and traffic jam levels are far lower here in the US, even in our most crowded cities. That’s why, for now, we don’t see people and capital streaming out of San Francisco and Chicago, heading for cities like California, and Illinois.1. We can conclude from the first paragraph that _____.A. traffic jam and weather are the two factorspreventing the development of the big cityB. traffic jam seems to be very difficult to deal withC. if traffic engineers try their best, traffic jam canbe solvedD. public officials are always criticized for misusingtheir power2. According to the passage, what’s the author’s opinion towards traffic jam?A. In cities, traffic jam is unavoidable.B. Traffic jam is both a sign of failure and a sign ofsuccess.C. Traffic jam is the consequence of successful cities.D. For a successful city, traffic jam is not unpreventable.3. By saying “decaying” (in Para. 4), the writer probably means _____.A. decliningB. developingC. rich and successfulD. strong and healthy4. According to this article, which statement about “New York” and “Los Angeles” is TRUE?A. The traffic jam in the two cities has been worsened.B. New York and Los Angeles are the most success-ful cities in the USA.C. It is easier to reach major brokerage houses in thetwo cities than in other cities.D. Despite the traffic jam in LA, you’ll find a satellite-guidance engineer more quickly there.Ⅴ.任务型阅读请认真阅读下列短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入最恰当的单词。
