URBAN TRANSPORT POD

The people living in Milton Keynes, a town about 70 kilometres northwest of London, have been introduced to a new transport experience when they use “pods”( bộ phận nhỏ tách ra từ tàu hỏa) to travel on certain routes.

The pods are a kind of driverless cars which travel at 19km/h and are able to transport two people and their luggage. There is a touchscreen in the windshield( kính chắn gió) of the pods where passengers select their terminal. During the trip they can also read the news, check emails or play video games on the screen. Powered by electric motors, the pods have ultrasonic sensors ( hệ thống cảm ứng siêu âm ) and a GPS (global positioning system) system that help themselves know where they are going and how to avoid obstacles( chướng ngại vật) along the way. People can use a smartphone app( phần mềm của điện thoại) to hail( gọi tầu ) a pod in the street.

Do you think this way of transport will appear in cities in Viet Nam soon ?

Questions:

1. Where is the project introduced ?

2. What can passengers do with the touchscreen ?

3. What enables pods to know where they are going and how to avoid obstacles ?

4. Why should you need the smartphone app for pods ?

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.

    Most journeys in Britain and the US are made by road. Some of these are made on public transport but most are by private car.

    In Britain many people rely on their cars for daily local activities, e.g. getting to work, doing the shopping, and visiting friends. People living in urban areas may use buses, trains or, in London, the Underground, to get to city centres, mainly because traffic is often heavy and it is difficult to find anywhere to park a car. Some places in the country may have a bus only two or three times a week so people living there have no choice but to rely on their cars.

    In the US large cities have good public transportation systems. The El railroad in Chicago and the underground systems of New York, Boston, San Francisco and Washington, DC are heavily used. Elsewhere, most Americans prefer to use their cars. Families often have two cars and, outside major cities, have to drive fairly long distances to schools, offices, shops, banks, etc. Many college and even high-school students have their own cars.

    Long-distance travel in Britain is also mainly by road, though railways link most towns and cities. Most places are linked by motorways or other fast roads and many people prefer to drive at their own convenience rather than use a train, even though they may get stuck in a traffic jam. Long- distance coach/bus services are usually a cheaper alternative to trains, but they take longer and may be less comfortable. Some long-distance travel, especially that undertaken for business reasons, may be by air. There are regular flights between regional airports, as well as to and from London. A lot of freight is also distributed by road, though heavier items and raw materials often go by rail.

    In the US much long-distance travel is by air. America has two main long-distance bus companies, Greyhound and Trailways. Amtrak, the national network, provides rail services for passengers. Private railway companies such as Union Pacific now carry only freight, though in fact over 70% of freight goes by road.

 

    The main problems associated with road transport in both Britain and the US are traffic congestion and pollution. It is predicted that the number of cars on British roads will increase by a third within a few years, making both these problems worse. The British government would like more people to use public transport, but so far they have had little success in persuading people to give up their cars or to share rides with neighbours. Most people say that public transport is simply not good enough. Americans too have resisted government requests to share cars because it is less convenient and restricts their freedom. Petrol/gasoline is relatively cheap in the US and outside the major cities public transport is bad, so they see no reason to use their cars less.

Which of the following is true about transport in Britain?

A. Long-distance travel in Britain is only by road

B. There are no regular flights between regional airports

C. Trains are usually cheaper than long-distance coach services

D. Heavier items and raw materials are often transported by train

Đáp án D

Câu nào dưới đây là đúng về phương tiện giao thông ở nước Anh?

A. Những chuyến đi xa ở Anh đều chỉ đi bằng đường bộ.

B. Không có máy bay thông thường nào giữa các sân bay khu vực.

C. Tàu hỏa thường rẻ hơn dịch vụ xe khách đường dài

D. Các vật nặng và nguyên liệu thơ sơ thường được vận chuyển bằng tàu.

Giải thích: dẫn chứng của đáp án D: “though heavier items and raw materials often go by rail” (Các vật nặng và nguyên liệu thơ sơ thường được vận chuyển bằng đường tàu)

Đáp án A sai vì có tận 03 cách thức di chuyển đường dài. Dân chứng: “In the US much long-distance travel is by air. America has two main long-distance bus companies, Greyhound and Trailways. Amtrak, the national network, provides rail services for passengers. Private railway companies such as Union Pacific now carry only freight, though in fact over 70% of freight goes by road.” (Ở Hoa Kỳ nhiều du lịch đường dài là bằng đường hàng không. Mỹ có hai chính đường dài xe buýt công ty, Greyhound và Trailways. Amtrak, mạng quốc gia, cung cấp dịch vụ đường sắt cho hành khách. Công ty đường sắt tư nhân như là Union Pacific bây giờ mang chỉ vận chuyển, cho dù thực ra trên 70% vận chuyển chạy bằng đường bộ. )

Đáp án B sai ở chữ “no”. Dẫn chứng “There are regular flights between regional airports” (Có chuyến bay thông thường giữa sân bay khu vực) Đáp án C sai ở “usually cheaper”. Dẫn chứng “Long- distance coach/bus services are usually a cheaper alternative to trains” (Xe khách đường dài / dịch vụ xe buýt thường là giải pháp thay thế rẻ hơn đến xe lửa) => xe khách rẻ hơn xe lửa

Most journeys in Britain and the US are made by road. Some of these are made on public transport but most are by private car.

In Britain many people rely on their cars for daily local activities, e.g. getting to work, doing the shopping, and visiting friends. People living in urban areas may use buses, trains or, in London, the Underground, to get to city centres, mainly because traffic is often heavy and it is difficult to find anywhere to park a car. Some places in the country may have a bus only two or three times a week so people living there have no choice but to rely on their cars.

In the US large cities have good public transportation systems. The El railroad in Chicago and the underground systems of New York, Boston, San Francisco and Washington, DC are heavily used. Elsewhere, most Americans prefer to use their cars. Families often have two cars and, outside major cities, have to drive fairly long distances to schools, offices, shops, banks, etc. Many college and even high-school students have their own cars.

Long-distance travel in Britain is also mainly by road, though railways link most towns and cities. Most places are linked by motorways or other fast roads and many people prefer to drive at their own convenience rather than use a train, even though they may get stuck in a traffic jam. Long-distance coach/bus services are usually a cheaper alternative to trains, but they take longer and may be less comfortable. Some long-distance travel, especially that undertaken for business reasons, may be by air. There are regular flights between regional airports, as well as to and from London. A lot of freight is also distributed by road, though heavier items and raw materials often go by rail.

The main problems associated with road transport in both Britain and the US are traffic congestion and pollution. It is predicted that the number of cars on British roads will increase by a third within a few years, making both these problems worse. The British government would like more people to use public transport, but so far they have had little success in persuading people to give up their cars or to share rides with neighbours. Most people say that public transport is simply not good enough. Americans too have resisted government requests to share cars because it is less convenient and restricts their freedom. Petrol/gasoline is relatively cheap in the US and outside the major cities public transport is bad, so they see no reason to use their cars less.

    In the US much long-distance travel is by air. America has two main long-distance bus companies, Greyhound and Trailways. Amtrak, the national network, provides rail services for passengers. Private railway companies such as Union Pacific now carry only freight, though in fact over 70% of freight goes by road.
