题目内容

    Congratulations on deciding to visit the Big Apple. Whether you choose to spend time in the Metropolitan Museum of Art or an S&M club in the west Village, or both, you’re in for quite an experience. NYC(New York City) isn’t nearly as crazy or dangerous as movies make it out to be, so relax and enjoy its intrinsic weirdness.

    Instructions to get there

    New York City, being a major metropolis, can be accessed in many ways: by plane, train, bus or car.

    Flying: There are three major airports people usually fly into when traveling to New York. La Guardia is the closest to Manhattan, and is located in the borough of Queens. JFK international Airport is also in Queens, but a little farther from Manhattan. Newark is in New Jersey and is by far the farthest from the city.

    Train: Amtrak(美国铁路公司) trains arrive constantly in Penn Station, which is located at 7th Avenue and 34th Street. Penn Station is conveniently located in the heart of Manhattan and can be accessed via subway and taxis. Metro North, a light-rail system that runs from Connecticut to New York, is another convenient way to get into the city if you happen to be nearby. Those trains come into Grand Central Station, which is located at 42nd Street and Park Avenue.

    Bus: For those of you on a tight budget (or who are just plain cheap but have a lot of time on your hands), the bus is always an option. Buses----- run by several companies including Greyhound, Trailways, Peter Pan and New Jersey Transit----- are usually much cheaper than trains and planes, and they are just as convenient, arriving at Port Authority, located at 42nd Street and 8th Avenue. Of course, buses take longer and have smellier bathrooms.

    Driving: If you choose to drive to New York City, your best bet is to find a garage as soon as you arrive and park your car for the duration of the trip. Driving and parking in the city are both impossible, and will certainly make your trip miserable. Since New York has excellent public transportation and thousands of taxis, you really don’t need your car if you are staying in Manhattan.

67. In many films New York City seems________.

   A. dangerous         B. traditional          C. convenient        D. unique

68. Which one shows the right order of airports’ distance from New York City?

   A. JFK International Airport—Newark—La Guardia

   B. La Guardia—JFK International Airport—Newark

   C. La Guardia—Newark—JFK International Airport

   D. JFK International Airport—La Guardia—Newark

69. If you are on vacation but don’t have enough money, which transportation is your best choice?

   A. Plane             B. Train              C. Bus             D. Car

70. The biggest challenge for driving to New York City is        .

   A. its high cost                          B. taking a long time

   C. unpleasant smell                      D. parking the car

Doctor and Robber
