136、, at the top of ones speed II. 文化背景知识Means of transportation for travelingPeople who travel long distances will have to decide whether they would prefer to go by land, sea, or air. Maybe nobody would say they enjoy sitting in a train for more than a few hours. The train will soon get crowded and dir

137、ty. It is almost impossible to take your mind off the journey. Reading may help you kill time but soon the clicking on the rails will bring you to sleep. During the day, sleep never lasts long. At night, when you really wish to go to sleep, you find you can hardly manage to do so. If you are lucky t

138、o get a sleeping seat, you spend half the night looking at the small blue light over your head, and when you finally arrive at the station, you are so tired that you dont want to leave.Long car journeys are even less pleasant, for it is impossible even to read. On motorways, you can, at least, trave

139、l fairly safely at high speed, but more often, the great part of the journey is spent on narrow, bumpy (不平的) roads which are crowded with traffic.When traveling by sea, you have a different experience. You can have a walk on the board, play games, swim, meet interesting people and enjoy good food, a

140、nd of course, only when the sea is calm. If it is not, you are likely to get seasick, and you will find no journey can be worse than that. Even if you travel in good weather, sea journey takes a long time. Few people would like to spend a third of their holidays for the pleasure of traveling on a sh

141、ip.Traveling by plane seems to be dangerous to some people, and, it is also the most expensive of all traveling forms, though nothing can match with planes for speed and comfort. Flying at a height of 30,000 feet, far above the clouds, and at 500 miles an hour is a very exciting experience. The jour

142、ney is so smooth that there is nothing to prevent you from reading or sleeping. However you decide to spend your time, one thing is certain: you will arrive at your destination freshly and easily. You will not have to spend the next few days recovering (恢复) from a long and tiring journey.Travel: ben

143、efit or problemPeople usually travel for many reasons. Some are looking for culture, and some simply want to have their pictures taken in front of famous places. However, most European travelers prefer to have a sunny beach to lie on.Northern Europeans are willing to pay a lot of money for the sun b

144、ecause they have so little of it. People of cities like London and Amsterdam spend much of their winters in the dark because the days are so short and much of the years is in the rain. This is the reason why the Mediterranean has always attracted them. Every summer many people travel to the Mediterr

145、anean for their holidays. They all come for the same reason: sun!The huge crowds mean lots of money for Mediterranean countries. Italys 30,000 hotels are booked without a break every summer. And 13 million people camp out on French beaches, parks and roadsides.Spains long coastline attracts more peo

146、ple than anywhere else. 37 million travelers visit there every year.On the other hand, sometimes tourism can also cause problems. For example, too many travelers can crowd public places that are also enjoyed by the natives. If travelers create too much traffic, the natives become annoyed and unhappy

147、. They begin to dislike travelers and treat them impolitely. It is important to think about the people of the destination country and how tourism affects them. Tourism should also advance the health and happiness of local people.Too much tourism also can be a problem. If tourism grows too quickly, p

148、eople must leave other jobs to work in the tourist industry. This means that other industries of the country will suffer from this.Maglevs (Magnetically levitated trains)IntroductionThe principle of a Magnet train is that it floats on a magnetic field and is propelled by a linear induction motor. Th

149、ey follow guidance tracks with magnets. These trains are often referred to Magnetically Levitated trains which are abbreviated to MagLev. Although maglevs dont use steel wheel on steel rail usually associated with trains, the dictionary definition of a train is a long line of vehicles traveling in t

150、he same direction it is a train.How it works?Maglev train floats about 10mm above the guide way on a magnetic field. It is propelled by the guide way itself rather than an onboard engine by changing magnetic fields (see right). Once the train is pulled into the next section of the magnetism switches

151、, the train is pulled on again. The electro-magnets run the length of the guide way.What are the advantages of Maglev?The primary advantage is maintenance. Because the train floats where are no contact with the ground and therefore no need for any moving parts. As a result, there are no components t

152、hat would wear out. This means in theory trains and track would need no maintenance at all. The second advantage is that because maglev trains float, there is no friction. Note that there will still be air resistance. The third advantage is less noise, because there are no wheels running along, ther

153、e is no wheel noise. However, noises due to air disturbance still occur. The final advantage is speed, as a result of the three previous listed it is more viable for maglev trains to travel extremely fast, i.e. 500km/h or 300mph. Although this is possible with conventional rails, it is not economica

154、lly viable. Another advantage is that the guide way can be made a lot thicker in places, e.g. after stations and going uphill, which would mean a maglev could get up to 300km/h (186mph) in only 5km where currently takes 18km. Also greater gradients would be applicable.What are the disadvantages of M

155、aglev?There are several disadvantages of maglev trains. Maglev guide paths are bound to be more costly than conventional steel railways. The other main disadvantage is lacking in existing infrastructure. For example, if a high-speed line between two cities is built, then high-speed trains can serve

156、both cities but more importantly they can serve other nearby cities by running on normal railways that branch off the high-speed line. The high-speed trains could go for a fast run on the high-speed line, and then come off it for the rest of the journey. Maglev trains wouldnt be able to do that; the

157、y would be limited where maglev lines run. This would mean it would be very difficult to make construction of maglev lines commercially viable unless there were two very large destinations being connected. Of the 5,000km that TGV trains serve in France, only about 1,200km is high-speed line, meaning 75% of TGV services run on existing track. The fact that a maglev train will not be able to continue beyond its track may seriously hinder its usefulness.
