新牛津译林版高中英语选修一Unit 3 On the Move Reading What means of transport do you use in your daily life? In my daily life, the means of transport that I use most often is the bus. Every weekday I come to school and go back home by bus. When the weather is bad, my dad drives me to and from school. When I need to go to faraway places for sightseeing, I travel by plane or by high-speed train. Lead-in What technological advances in transport do you know about? I know about high-speed trains and maglev trains, which use very advanced technology. High-speed trains can travel at speeds of up to 350 kilometres per hour. High-speed trains’ bullet-shaped design reduces air resistance. This design, together with the specialized railway tracks the trains travel on, allows them to move fast, quietly and smoothly. I know that self-driving cars use a combination of different technologies to help them drive by themselves. I also know this technology is still developing, so even though it is an exciting advancement in transport, there are still issues that need to be addressed. For example, cars will need technology that can think and behave as close to a human driver as possible to make them safer. This will require a lot of research, development and testing.
