Luxembourg makes all public transport free

One square meter Luxembourg makes all public transport free. With a population of 602,000, Luxembourg is one of Europe’s 1. (small) countries - yet it suffers from major traffic jams. But that could be about to change. As of March 1, 2020 all public transport - trains, trams and buses - in the country is now free. The government hopes the move 2. (ease) heavy crowding and bring environmental benefits.

Tiny country, big traffic 3.  (landlock) Luxembourg which is surrounded by three countries is one of the richest countries in Europe. 4. (take) up 2,586 square kilometers, Luxembourg is roughly the size of Rhode Island. From the capital of Luxembourg City, Belgium, France and Germany 5. all be reached by car in half an hour.

High housing costs, especially in Luxembourg City, mean more than 180,000 of the country’s workforce make regular journeys from those neighboring countries every day. Luxembourg is a very attractive place for jobs. But 6. “booming economy” and high concentration of jobs have led to crowding issues.

In 2016, Luxembourg had 662 cars per 1,000 people, and driving is a “primary means of transportation” for people. That year, drivers in Luxembourg City spent an average of 33 hours in traffic jams.  It  fared  worse  than European  cities Copenhagen and Helsinki, 7. have comparable population sizes to all of Luxembourg - yet drivers in both only spent an average of 24 hours in traffic. Park and rides around Luxembourg’s borders in the three neighboring countries, however, will encourage commuters to use free mass transit.

Free transport for all Luxembourg’s public transport system covers the whole country and costs $562 million per year to run. The government is putting up the cost of it free so that the people can benefit from the good economy. People still hold the concern 8.making transport free may unintentionally prevent people who would normally walk or cycle in urban areas. 9.walking 500 meters, people see a bus coming and they say, “we can get on and travel 500 meters 10.it’s free”.However, the new scheme can signal important changes ahead when it comes to Luxembourg’s reliance on driving.

The government might say, “It’s important that you throw away your car, and look, we made public transport free” - and maybe this is helpful given the enormous cultural shift we need.”

 

1.smallest 2.will ease 3.landlocked 4.Taking 5.can 6.its 7.which 8.that 9.Instead of 10.because/ since / as 【解析】 这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了为缓解日益加剧的交通拥挤问题。卢森堡成为全球首个乘坐公共交通免费的国家。 1.考查形容词最高级。句意:卢森堡有60.2万人口,是欧洲最小的国家之一,但它却饱受严重的交通堵塞之苦。分析句子,small所处的句子中有one of (其中之一),要求形容词用最高级。故填smallest。 2.考查时态。句意:政府希望此举能缓解过度拥挤并带来环境效益。分析句子,ease所在的从句无其他动词,故要填时态。且和主语 the move表示主动关系。主句表示“政府的希望”,说明从句的动词还未发生。所用用将来时。故填will ease。 3.考查形容词。分析句子,此处需将landlock改为形容词,用来修饰后面的名词“卢森堡”。landlocked译为“被陆地包围的,内陆的”。故填landlocked。 4.考查非谓语动词。句意:卢森堡占地2586平方公里,大致相当于罗德岛的面积。分析句子,Take up的逻辑主语为后句的Luxembourg。两者之间是主动关系,所以用现在分词。故填Taking。 5.考查情态动词。句意:从卢森堡的首都,比利时,法国和德国都可以在半小时内到达。分析句子,划线后面的be动词用了原形。且根据句意,此处少了表示“能够”之意的情态动词。又因文章的时态是一般现在时。故填can。 6.考查代词。句意:但其“蓬勃发展的经济”和工作的高度集中导致了拥挤问题。分析句意,此处缺了代词指代前句提到了“卢森堡”。又因划线后面有名词---经济。故需填形容词性物主代词。故填its。 7.考查非限制性定语从句。句意:欧洲城市哥本哈根和赫尔辛基的人口规模堪比整个卢森堡,但这两个城市的司机平均只花了24小时在路上。分析句子,划线部分充当了主语。且前面有“逗号”。故该空需填入非限制性定语从句的关系词。“非限”的先行词为“哥本哈根和赫尔辛基”,先行词指物。故填which。 8.考查同位语从句。句意:人们仍然担心免费交通可能会无意中阻止人们在城市地区正常步行或骑自行车。分析句子,划线后面的句子为主句抽象名词concern的内容,故从句为同位语从句。且此处不缺成分,句意完整。故填that。 9.考查固定短语。句意:人们不会走500米的距离,看到一辆公交车开过来,他们会说,这段路我可以搭公交,因为公交免费。根据句意可知,并此处表示instead of“而不是,代替”。故填Instead of。 10.考查连词。句意:人们不会走500米的距离,看到一辆公交车开过来,他们会说,这段路我可以搭公交,因为公交免费。分析句意可知,本句为because/ since / as引导的原因状语从句。故填because/ since / as。
