问题共用题干Transport and Trade 1 Transport is one of the aids to trade.By moving goods from places where they are plentiful to places where they are scarce,transport adds to their value.The more easily goods can be brought over the distance that separates producer and consumer,the better for trade.When there were no railways,no good roads,no canals,and only small sailing ships,trade was on a small scale. 2 The great advances made in transport during the last two hundred years were accompanied by a big increase in trade.Bigger and faster ships enabled a trade in meat to develop between Britain and New Zealand, for instance.Quicker transport makes possible mass-production and big business,drawing supplies from, and selling goods to,all parts of the globe.Big factories could not exist without transport to carry the large number of workers they need to and from their homes.Big city stores could not have developed unless customers could travel easily from the suburbs and goods were delivered to their homes.Big cities could not survive unless food could be brought from a distance. 3 Transport also prevents waste.Much of the fish landed at the ports would be wasted if it could not be taken quickly to inland towns.Transport has given us a much greater variety of foods and goods since we no longer have to live on what is produced locally.Foods which at one time could be obtained only during a part of the year can now be obtained all through the year. Transport has raised the standard of living. 4 By moving fuel,raw materials,and even power,for example,through electric cables,transport has led to the establishment of industries and trade in areas where they would have been impossible before. Districts and countries can concentrate on making things which they can do better and more cheaply than oth- ers and can then exchange them with one another. The cheaper and quicker transport becomes,the longer the distance over which goods can profitably be carried.Countries with poor transport have a lower standard of living. 5 Commerce requires not only the moving of goods and people but also the carrying of messages and information.Means of communication,like telephones,cables and radio,send information about prices, supplies,and changing conditions in different parts of the world.In this way,advanced communication sys- tems also help to develop trade.

选项 In the trade of modern society the transmission of information plays as important a role as_____________. A:to send goods to various parts of the world B:at any time during the year C:has greatly promoted trade D:is it possible to produce on a large scale E:the transport of goods F:it is possible to produce on a large scale

答案 E

解析第二段首句说的是“在过去的两百年中，交通的大发展伴随着贸易的大增长”，点明了交通和贸易的关系，且文章中提到“大型的快速船只（交通方式）促进英国和新西兰之间进行肉类食品的贸易发展”，也说明了“交通对贸易的影响”，而段落最后一句说“没有从遥远的地方带来的食物，大城市就不能生存下去”，因此判断B是答案。第三段第二句说的是“交通给我们提供了比以前种类更多的食物和商品”．且本段的最后一句说“交通提高了我们的生活水平”,“种类更多的食物和商品”与“生活水平”相关，因此判断A是答案。由第四段第一句话中“…transport has led to the establishment of industries and trade in areas where they would have been impossible before”可知，交通导致了工业和贸易的建立．因此判断D是答案。由第五段第二句话中“Means of communication… send information… advanced conimunication systems also help to develop trade.”可知，本段主要讲述的是信息在贸易中的作用。根据判断本句缺少谓居动词：从句子结构和文章内容分析，C项最合适二该句含义是：现代交通方式的发展已经大大地促进了贸易的发展。 Only引导的状语从句结构放在句首时，主句需要倒装，因此D项合适。该句含义是：只有当商品能被很快地运往世界各地时，大规模的生产才有可能进行。由文章第三段倒数第二句话“Foods which at one ime could be obtained only during a part of year can now be obtained all through the year.”可知，运输使得人们可以在一年的任何时候吃上他们想吃的任何食物。由文章第五段第一句话“Commerce requires not only the moving of goods and people but also the carrying of messages and information.”可知，在现代社会的贸易中，信息的传输和食物的运输起着同样重要的作用。
