Ⅲ.语境翻译
在大城市，印象最深刻的是车辆太多。例如与电线相连的电车，地铁，出租车，私家车，双层公共汽车等。你会经常遇到交通堵塞，甚至会被困在里面很长时间。你还会看到许多正在建设中的道路、楼房。政府应该仔细规划城市，使得人们的生活、工作和出行都很方便。

Ⅳ.阅读理解
山东、天津专用A
The amount of time that people spend on travel is 1.1 hours per person per day in all societies. The average distance traveled is 7,400 miles (12,000 km) per year. In total, the world population travels more than 16.6 trillion miles (23 trillion km) per year, 53% of which is by car, 26% by bus, 9% by rail, 9% by highspeed transport such as airplanes, and 3% by bicycle, boat and other means.
It is estimated (估计) that, due to developments in highspeed public transport, travel time will drop to only 12 minutes per person per day by 2050. Of the global traffic volume, 35% will be by car, 20% by bus, 41% by highspeed transport, and 4% by rail.
At present, traffic congestion (拥塞) has a huge negative (消极的) economic and environmental impact(影响) across the world. Road congestion in the UK costs the UK economy 15 billion a year. It costs the US $ 100 billion a year. In Seattle, Washington for instance, a driver spends an average (平均) of 59 hours stuck in traffic each year. In the greater Seattle area there are more cars than people; each household makes an average of 10 motorcar trips a day. According to Sierra Club, “American cars and trucks account for 20 percent of the world's petroleum consumption(石油消耗)．”
The US has the most highways, but European roads are busier. In Europe, cars travel more than 600 miles (1,000 km) per road per year, compared to an average of 500 km per road in the US. The world's worst traffic jam usually occurs during the summer on the road from Paris to Toulouse, France.
So take a hike. You can use Google's public transport trip planner. Or, in the least, find a job closer to home.
