For years and years people have been saying that the railways arc dead. "We can do without railways," people say, as if motorcars and planes have made the railways unnecessary. We all keep hearing that trains are slow, that they lose money, and that they are dying. But this is far from the truth. In those days of expensive oil, the railways have become highly competitive with motorcars and planes. If you want to carry people or goods from place to place, they are cheaper than planes. And they have much in common with planes. A plane goes in a straight line and so does a railway. What is more, it takes from the heart of a city into the heart of another. It doesn’t leave you as a plane does, miles and miles from the city center. It doesn’t hold you up as a car does, in endless traffic jams. And a single train can carry goods which a plane or motorcar could never do.
Far from being dead, the railways are very much alive. Modern railway lines give you a smooth, untroubled journey. Where else can you eat well, sleep in comfort, feel safe and enjoy the scene while you are traveling at speed at the same time? And we are only at the beginning. For we have just entered the age of super fast trains, trains traveling at 150 miles an hour and more. Soon we will be wondering why we spent so much on motorcars we can’t use because we have not enough money to buy the oil and planes we can’t fly for the same reason.
Some people think the railways are unnecessary because .
选项
A、planes and motorcars have taken the place of trains
B、oil is expensive today
C、trains are super fast
D、railways earn a large amount of money
答案
A
解析
题干关键词railways are unnecessary和原文railways are dead同义,因此定位到第一段第二句话“We can do without railways,”people say,as if motorcars and planes have made the railways unnecessary.(“我们不需要火车,”有人说,好像汽车和飞机已经使火车的存在变得没有必要了。)可知有人认为汽车和飞机已经取代了火车,所以答案选A
