Driverless trains are a type of train first developed in the 1960s. As
the name shows, these trains operate automatically, without a driver.
It is believed that any of the earliest driverless trains were first 【D1】________
used to transport passengers on the London Underground system 【D2】________
from 1967. Hww er, these early trains weren't true 'driverless' 【D3】________
because they had no operators to open and close the doors. 【D4】________
Modern driverless train systems such as the Dubai Metro have
no operators on board. Instead, the system is run through large control 【D5】________
centre. This has hundreds of CCTV camera so that the trains can be 【D6】________
monitored at all times.
Using driverless trains can save a lot of money because large
numbers of train drivers are no longer need. As well as being cheaper to 【D7】________
run, these train systems are often much less punctual and efficient. 【D8】________
This encourages more commuters to stop use cars in order to get to 【D9】________
work every morning.
If more cities had efficient driverless trains for transporting commuters,
there would be less traffic congestion and pollution in the world. 【D10】________
【D1】
any→some
(any表示“任何; 所有的”, 但是不能所有的无人驾驶列车都用于地下铁来运送乘客, 只能是部分, 故将any改为some。 )
【D2】
√
【D3】
true→truly
(driverless属于形容词, 意为“无司机的”, 需要用副词修饰, 故将true改为truly。)
【D4】
no→删去no
(由于句子说到, 这些列车并非是真的“无司机”, 后面解释了缘由, 因为还需要有人来操作开关门。 将no删去, 句子才符合逻辑。 )
【D5】
through∧large→a
(此处缺少不定冠词a, 在可数名词的单数形式前表示泛指, 表明一类人或事物区别于它类。 这里指某个大型控制中心。 )
【D6】
camera→cameras
(camera是可数名词, 前面提到有成百上千个CCTV监视器, 所以应当改为复数。 )
【D7】
need→needed
(此处应当将need改为needed表被动, 意为“列车司机不再被需要”。 )
【D8】
less→more
(由于文章一直谈到无人驾驶带来的优点, 所以列车应当更准时更有效率, 故将less改为more更符合逻辑。 )
【D9】
use→using
(stop doing sth.属于固定用法, 意为“不再做某事”, 后面接动词ing形式。 )
【D10】
pollutions→pollution
(pollution意为“污染”, 属于不可数名词。 故将复数改为单数。 )
