Module 2　Traffic JamNowadays traffic congestion is a big problem in most of our cities.Have you got any ideas about what has brought about this and how to solve it?There are many causes for this problem,but the following may be the most important ones.The first cause is the great increase in the number of private cars.Cars take up more space but they carry fewer people.Some private car drivers,ignoring1 traffic regulations,drive only for the sake of their own convenience,blocking the way of other public transportation vehicles.The second cause is the slow and inefficient2 construction and improvement of the roads and streets.With a large population and numbers of automobiles increasing,some roads still remain unimproved,which will surely lead to problems.The last cause is the people’s disobeying the traffic rules.Many people cross the streets even when the traffic lights are against them,which causes the slow flow of traffic.Then how to solve this problem?I think the best way to solve the traffic problem is that more roads should be built to hold more traffic and at the same time more public bus routes can be opened up to those who prefer to use the public transportation.单词注释1.ignore v.忽略,忽视,不理睬2.inefficient adj.效率低的难句剖析Some private car drivers,ignoring traffic regulations,drive only for the sake of their own convenience,blocking the way of other public transportation vehicles.许多私家车司机,忽视交通规则,开车仅为自己方便,挡住了为其他公共车辆提供的道路。剖析:句中的ignoring...和blocking...都是现在分词短语做状语,blocking...是指自然而然的结果。导读诱思1.Suppose you are traveling in Beijing,discuss in groups,and decide which means of transport you will choose and tell why.?2.How many causes of the traffic congestion in big cities in China are mentioned in the passage??答案:1.The answer is various.　2.Three.Section Ⅰ　Introduction,Reading Vocabulary一二三四五六　Pre-reading　?一、看下面的这些交通标志,请试着把它们与英文释义搭配起来A.Zebra strips(斑马线)B.Limited heightC.Two-way trafficD.Silence(No audible warning)E.Tunnel(隧道)F.Traffic lightsG.Falling rocksH.Carriageway narrows(道路
