雅思口语带读练习：交通方式

　　Transportation交通方式 参考文本：

　　Hong Kong public transport is fairly cheap and fast, widely used by both residents and visitors andgenerally efficient. The most densely populatedareas, which are also built up on fairly flat land, areserved by the MTR (Mass Transit Railway, or subwaytrain). The KCR (Kowloon-Guangzhou /CantonRailway) runs to the Chinese border at Lo Wu and isa quick way to get to the New Territories. Light RailTransit (fast, modern, air-con trams) also run in the New Territories, connecting the city of TuenMun with Yuen Long.

　　The Hong Kong bus system is extensive and a little confusing, serving the south side of HongKong Island and the New Territories in addition to most urban areas. Minibuses run set routesmore quickly than standard buses and minibus passengers can embark and disembark more orless at will along these routes. Metered taxis are red and silver on Hong Kong side, green andwhite in the New Territories. They are relatively inexpensive compared to other big-city cabrates, starting at HK$15. The Star ferries linking Hong Kong island and Kowloon are a wellknown tourist attraction, as are the double-decker trams, running along the north coast of HongKong island. Three tunnels also link Hong Kong island with Kowloon side. Outlying islands suchas Cheung Chau or Lamma have regular ferries which are fun to use, with stunning harbourviews. In June 1998 Hong Kong opened its new international airport - Chek Lap Kok - on LantauIsland. The Airport Express train connects Chek Lap Kok with Hong Kong station in Central, stopping in Kowloon along the way, in just 23 minutes. Conveniently, you can check your bagsin at the train station when heading out to the airport. There are also express and normalpublic buses, hotel shuttle buses and taxis to take air passengers into the city.

　　Finally, Hong Kong has the longest escalator in the world, the Central-Mid-Levels escalator andwalkway system, carrying people from sea level to their homes on the steep slopes of the Peak. The best way to pay for all this transport is with the rechargeable 'Octopus' smart card, acceptable on almost all forms of transport except taxis. However, pedestrians who like towalk will probably be disappointed with Hong Kong's poorly designed pedestrian crossings, crushing crowds and confusing pedestrian flyovers.
