Question

Singapore’s public transport system (公共交通系統(tǒng)) is one of the best in the world, so you should have no problem finding your way around like a local (當(dāng)?shù)厝?. There are three main forms of public transport that you would find in any other major city—trains, buses and taxis.

TRAINS
Trains run from 6 a.m. to midnight. Single trip tickets start at 80 cents. If you buy an EZ-Link card for $15, you can ride the trains and buses all you like.
If you need more information, just call Transit Link on 1800 767 4333.
BUSES
There are several bus services in Singapore and fares (車費) start at 80 cents. Be sure to always ask the driver the cost of your ticket as he can not give changes.
If you need help, just call Transit Link on 1800 767 4333.
TAXIS
There are three main taxi companies—City Cab (6552 2222), Comfort (6552 1111) and Tibs (6552 8888). Booking (預(yù)訂) can also be made easily by calling the numbers listed above.
RENTAL (租) CARS
Driving in Singapore is a pleasure and if you like to travel at your own pace, renting a car is a good choice. Renting takes away the hassle of getting to places around Singapore. Just sit back and enjoy the city. It also means you’ll get to see a lot more that a train or a bus won’t let you see.

Answer 1

CABAD
本文講的是新加坡的公共交通系統(tǒng)的三種交通方式，洗車，火車和的士。
1.   C 此題是細節(jié)考查題。 首選定位到buses再看到下句If you need help, just call Transit Link on 1800 767 4333可知答案為C。
2.   A 此題是考查對句子的理解，If you buy an EZ-Link card for $15, you can ride the trains and buses all you like，可知可以選擇兩種方式，即trains和buses,選A。
3.   B 同樣是對細節(jié)的考查。首先也是定伴到buses，從be sure to(一定要) always ask the driver the cost of your ticket as he can not give changes（不會找零錢）可知選B。
4.   A 此題考查對單詞的猜測能力。Renting takes away(省去…) the hassle of getting to places around Singapore 可知是省去麻煩，自己租車了很明顯方便多了，選A。
5.   D 此題是對全文的歸納，很明顯文章列出了其中的三種方式，意在說明其公共交通系統(tǒng)的發(fā)達和方便，故選D，A,B,C只是文章的一個方面。
