Beijing Daxing International Airport (BDIA) was     1    (formal) opened on Sept 25, 2019. Located around 46 km south of Tian’an men Square, it was designed by famed architectural firms ADP Ingeierie and Zaha Hadid Architects. BDIA was listed     2    the first of the “seven wonders of the modern world near completion” by The Guardian in 2015.

The new airport complex     3    (consist) of a main terminal, a supporting service building and a parking lot,     4    (cover) area of about 1.4 million square meters. The starfish design is extremely space with     5     journey of just 600 meters from the security checkpoint to the further gate.     6    could be the most expected innovation at BDIA is its artificial intelligence. The airport     7    (set) up more than 400 self-service check-in machines already, which can shorten passengers’ waiting time to about 10 minutes. Travelers can be scanned on cameras     8     (use) facial recognition.

Counters can be fully automated to capture (拍摄) face photos and relay     9    (they) during each part of the journey through the airport, including the security checkpoint and the departure gate:

The Daxing airport — said to be the world’s largest terminal in a single building — is expected     10    (receive) a large amount of 170 million passengers by 2025. It will become a new airport hub for the greater Beijing-Tianjin- Hebei region.

Texting while crossing the street will soon     1    (ban) in Honolulu, Hawaii. From October 24     2    , you could be fined if you step into a Honolulu street while looking at your phone. Honolulu is the first major US. city that passed a law,     3     says, “No pedestrian shall cross a street or highway while viewing a mobile electronic device.”

The law     4    (include) all electronic devices with screens, cell phones, tablets, gaming devices, digital cameras and laptop computers. The law does permit     5     exception. Pedestrians may use such devices in the street to call emergency services and rescue workers, such as firefighters and police     6    (office).

    7    (hope), it will lower the number of people hit and     8    (kill) by cars in the city. Pedestrian deaths in America have been increasing as the use of cell phone rises. Honolulu has     9    (many) pedestrians hit in crosswalks than almost any other city in America. The number of pedestrian deaths in 2017     10    (rise) to 6,000, 11% higher than in 2016.

AirCar is the latest generation flying car     1    transforms from road vehicle into air vehicle in less than 3 minutes. Useful for leisure and self-driving     2    (journey), the vehicle can go from driving to flying mode with the click of a button. The fifth generation flying car designed by Professor Stefan Klein     3    (complete) two flight tests at Piestany airport in Slovakia so far.

The two-seat AirCar     4    (weigh) 1,100 kg and can carry an additional load of 200 kg per flight.     5    (power) by a BMW 1.6 L engine, the car-plane has an effective power output of 140 HP. The estimated travel range of the vehicle is 1,000 km       6     the flight consumption is 18 liters per hour. AirCar can transform from a ground-based vehicle to aircraft with its speed     7    (reach) up to 200 km/h. But most importantly, the stability and controllability of the AirCar is     8    (access) to any pilot.

“With AirCar you will arrive at your destination     9     the trouble of getting a ride to airport and passing through commercial security. You can drive your AirCar to the golf course, the office, the shopping centre or your hotel and park     10     in a normal parking space,” said Anton Zajac, Klein Vision’s co-founder, investor and pilot.

Half a million Londoners travel to and from work by bike every day. Since the introduction of the Congestion Charge in 2003, the capital city     1    (see) an almost 50 per cent increase in the number of people commuting by bike.

The growth in cycling can partly be attributed to the launch in 2010 by Transport for London of the Barclays Cycle Hire System throughout the city's center.     2    (station) around the city, bikes can be registered     3     the TfL website, and regular users can buy access for 24 hours, 7 days, or one year. Users are then posted     4     key to release the locking system on the bikes.

Of course, London isn't the only place     5     cycling has taken off: people cycle to work on towns   and cities across the UK. In 2008,     6    (promote) the benefits of cycling more     7    (wide), the UK government     8    (organize) a competition to select the country's first cycling town. The city of Bristol won and received money to improve     9    (it) cycling infrastructure — more cycle lanes and increased parking     10    (spot) for bikes, etc.— and make cycling on roads generally safer.

Today's fast-pace life tires people out. Simple things, such as driving to and from work    1    a daily basis can be such stressful experiences    2    many people are left feeling totally exhausted. Fortunately, there are various means of public transport to choose from within modern towns and cities. Sometimes, all we need to do is to change a few of our long-standing    3    (habit) in order to discover     4     more comfortable way of life. By simply planning journeys, not only can we save time and money    5    we can reduce stress levels dramatically. By using public transport, everybody wins!

Most towns and cities,    6    (cover) with bus, tram and metro services, provide convenient services. While    7    (make) use of the services, you are also helping in the fight against increasing levels of pollution. Public transport systems have improved    8    (considerable) and there is more focus on environmentally friendly forms. For example, old tram systems    9     (strengthen) in many European cities in recent years, making movement across large areas much faster, cleaner and therefore     10    (stressful)!

So, next time you see your neighbour waiting at a bus stop as you drive by, don't feel sorry for him.

As populations increased in large cities in     1     nineteenth century, building subway lines was a way     2    (move) people from one area of a city to another quickly and efficiently. The first major subway system, the London Underground,     3    (start) in 1873 using steam trains. Subways caught on quickly in London. From 1896, it was changed in favor of an electrical system. Today’s subways around the world now work on     4    (electrical). Passengers can rely on the regular schedule of subway trains while     5    (avoid) traffic on busy city streets.

Two of the world’s earliest subways were built in Paris and New York. When the Paris Metro opened on July 19, 1900, citizens were proud of the     6    (impress) and beautifully decorated station entrances.    7     the first New York subway consisted     8     only 14.5 kilometers of track in 1904, today, it is the world’s largest subway system.

Today, subways are still popular with passengers. The Tokyo subway is the     9    (busy) in the world, with 3.2 billion riders a year. Close behind     10    (be) subways in Moscow(2.4 billion), Seoul (2.1 billion), and New York City (1.6 billion).

Janet went down the long set of     1     (stair), surrounded by people. She held onto the rail, anxiety growing gradually for this was her first time taking the subway.     2     everyone seemed to think it was normal. Soon she reached the platform     3     other passengers stood and waited. A bell     4     (ring) a couple minutes later, and a voice came over the loudspeaker, saying that they should step back and wait. The lights of the approaching train rapidly grew     5     (close). Things were getting interesting.

The train whistled past the passengers, slowing to a stop     6     the end of the platform. The doors slid open, and a crowd of people exited. With those people     7     (rush) out, the new passengers hurried onto the train. Janet went with them. The doors shut moments later, and the     8     (friend) voice came over the loudspeaker inside the train, warning them     9     (stand) back from doors. Janet grabbed onto the nearest pole, since there were no seats for her.

She looked around the crowded train and supported     10     (she) as the train began to move along. After a few minutes, she smiled, enjoying the ride. It was actually pretty fun after all!
