应用型大学英语视听说教程第四册答案

Unit1

1. A bus is a road (vehicle) designed

to carry passengers. Buses vary in

capacity from 8 to 300 passengers.

Buses are widely used in public

transportation. A long-distance bus is

called a (coach). Trolleybuses (无轨

电车) use overhead power lines.

2. A ferry is a form of transportation, usually

a boat, but sometimes a ship, used to carry

primarily passengers, and sometimes

vehicles and (cargo ) as well. Ferries

form a part of the public transport systems

of many (waterside ) cities and islands.

3. The subway, an underground urban

railroad, usually operated by electricity, is

also known as a (metro), or

underground. It is the most popular

transport system in big cities for its high

(capacity), high speed, and low price.

4. The largest airliners are wide-body

(jets ) with two separate aisles running from

the front to the back of the passenger cabin,

such as Boeing 747, Airbus A380, and

McDonnell Douglas DC-10. These

(aircraft ) are usually used for international

flights between major cities with many

passengers.

5. Hovercraft (气垫船) are used throughout

the world as specialized transports. Because

they are (supported ) by a cushion of air,

hovercraft are (unique ) among all other

forms of ground transportation in their

ability to travel equally well over land, ice,

and water.

B. Ask and answer the questions

Ask and answer the following questions with a partner.

1. How would you like to travel for a short distance in a big city, say, five to ten kilometers?

Your answer:

Reference answer: I might take a bus or subway if it is convenient, take a taxi

if I am in a hurry, or ride a bike if it is rush hour and the weather is fine.

2. Which is your favorite type of transport when you travel from one country

to another, train, ship, or plane? Why?

Your answer:

Reference answer: A: I prefer planes because they are fast and time-saving.

B: I prefer trains because they are fairly fast, especially express trains; moreover, they're safe and comfortable if I book a cushioned berth. In contrast, a plane trip is usually more expensive and makes me feel unsafe, and a ship is too slow.

C: I prefer ships because they put me at ease with their big space and various entertainment facilities. They offer me a chance to enjoy myself better as a tourist without suffering a busy and crowded journey, which can hardly be

avoided when traveling by train or plane.

3. Do you think riding bikes should be encouraged in big cities? Why?

Your answer:

Reference answer: In big cities where traffic jams are part of our daily life, as well as encouraging other methods (bus or subway, for example) we should encourage more people to travel by bike, especially for traveling short distances like a few miles from home to work, because riding bikes is good for the health, environmentally friendly, and money-saving.

Now listen to the story:

The thing about driving schools is that they're pretty easy to pass. So even a not-so-good driver can just walk in and pass driving schools. Billy was one of those not-so-good drivers. He couldn't even ride a bike, and a motorcycle was just out of the question. When Billy took the final driving test, he ran into a wall. But they still passed him.

The first day of actual driving in the real world, Billy was drunk. He had found beer in his dad's fridge and had thought, what's a better way of celebrating than beer and a drive to my friend's house?

The driving schools really should teach more. As Billy swerved down the road, a kid in front of him accidentally kicked the ball into the street and ran to go get it. Billy was too busy giggling to himself because he had thought of something funny to notice the child. All he felt was a big bump, which he just thought was a pothole, and kept driving.

A few minutes later a cop car was in pursuit. Billy heard the sirens and looked behind him to see the cop car. He pulled over to the side of the road as the cop came to the window.无用户答案[Reference Answer:The cop gave the hand signal to roll down the window but Billy was too drunk to understand what he meant. Finally Billy just opened the door, hitting the cop in the knee.

The cop pulled out his gun, and told Billy to put his hands behind his head.]

"Sir, have you been drinking this evening?" the cop asked.

"Why, no, sir. I drank a little beer but it was just a celebration," said Billy.

The cop handcuffed Billy and put him in the back of the car. He was taken

by the cop to the station and put into jail for driving under the influence. They really should teach more in that driving school.
