Weihai, a coastal city of Shandong province, has built a 1, 001-kilometer route that strings together picturesque (风景如画的) coastal and     1     (mountain) landscapes to further develop its tourism sector and rural areas.

    2     (bring) into service in May last year, it has a main highway and branch roads, of the same     3     (long). The 501-km main route goes along the coastline and runs across the mountains. The 500-km branch roads can take visitors to more than 90 percent of the city’s tourism attractions,     4     (include) scenic spots, hotels, RV campsites, home stays and agricultural sightseeing sites. Among the attractions     5     (be) four ski resorts, nine natural hot springs, 15 national-level marine ranches (海洋牧场) and more than 80 agricultural tourism sites.

The highway has made travel across Weihai more convenient and it has brought     6     increased number of visitors to the city, says Wang Hongchen, an official of the culture and tourism bureau (旅游局) of Rongcheng, a county-level city of Weihai. Along the highway, signs     7     (set) at major points so far. Every 30 to 40 km along the route, there is a park with public     8     (facility) where people can enjoy outdoor leisure time. “Over 70 percent of tourists,     9     visited Rongcheng this summer, drove to our city and over half of the total tourists to Rongcheng are     10     outside Shandong province,” says Wang.

People are freer to travel as China’s transport sector has fine-tuned     1     (measure) to further smooth transportation and logistics from Wednesday to respond to the nation’s optimized (优化的) COVID-19 containment measures.

When     2     comes to traveling across regions and provinces, passengers are no longer required     3     (present) negative results of nucleic acid tests or health codes at public transport venues, according to an optimized guideline issued by the Ministry of Transport on Wednesday. Travelers now going through     4     (secure) checks can scan their identity card to enter the stations,     5     same procedure used before the epidemic.

A traveler from Tianjin to the capital told Beijing Daily that her Beijing health code returned to normal on Wednesday,     6     enabled her to buy a Tianjin-Beijing train ticket, “There were fewer passengers onboard     7     (compare) with the days before the epidemic but I believe their numbers     8     (recover) soon as more work and production have resumed already,” she said.

Railway services to Beijing from many places such as Zhengzhou of Henan province and Hohhot of Inner Mongolia autonomous region were     9     (temporary) canceled for fear of high infection risks, but they have resumed.

Up to now, nucleic acid test facilities     10     (remove) at Beijing Fengtai railway station. More relaxed protocols have also been adopted at transport venues across the country.

Qian Jiaqi, 39, who took up cycling in Beijing as a hobby when he was a teenager, has seen a well-known route he often takes afterwork become    1    (increasing) crowded with fellow cyclists during evenings and weekends.

According to business insiders and    2    (experience) cyclists such as Qian, cycling in urban areas     3     (become) more and more popular over the past two years in China,    4     was known as the “Kingdom of Bicycles” in the 1980s and early 1990s.

Chang’an Avenue is arguably the most popular route for cyclists in Beijing,     5    its two cycle lanes positioned alongside those for motor vehicles. Motorcycles    6     (ban) from the cycle lanes on May 9 last year, providing a safer    7    smoother experience for those turning the pedals. Chinese scholar trees    8     (plant)alongside the bike lanes shade cyclists from the summer heat.

The avenue is also the perfect place    9    (observe) different types of leisure cyclists. Those such as Qian always attempt to improve their times, so it’s easy to sense their frustration when they have to stop at red lights. Others prefer to ride at a slower pace, never missing the opportunity to take    10     (photo) of Tian’anmen Square at sunset on their phones.

“Bike buses” Catch on as a Cool Way to Travel to School

“Bike buses”—adult-led group bike rides to school—are taking over neighborhoods. Many families are giving up cars and turning to     1     sweatier morning ride with friends, biking miles in organized crowds led by adult     2     (volunteer). The effort is a call to deal with climate change, encourage exercise and reduce school drop-off traffic. And, parents and kids both say that it just makes the children     3     (happy) than before. Minneapolis’ dad Devin Olson organized a bike bus for his local school zone last week. Olson is the co-founder of Minneapolis Bike Parks, a grassroots organization that makes parks more bike-friendly. Olson partnered with Minneapolis Public Schools to lead a 2-mile bike bus,     4     dropped off students at two elementary schools. So far, Olson has led 11 semi-annual bike buses that have grown from about 60 participants to     5     (near) 150.

Bike buses are also popular     6     people in other countries, like Spain and Canada. Tom Barnes and Rebecca Mudge, educators in Canada, joined a bike bus     7     (transport) their daughters Clara, 6, and Lily, 4, to school in London, Ontario. Their children are     8     (enthusiasm) about their bike bus experience. Last month, a weekly bike bus     9     (launch) for the school community,     10     (attract) 75 riders.

This year, those rides have continued with anywhere from 150 to 190 people.

Shenzhen, a city that pioneered reform and opening-up in China, will allow fully autonomous vehicles     1     (run) on certain roads.

The new rule,     2     (schedule) to come into force on August 1, 2022, also clarified rules for liability (责任) in car accidents that involve autonomous driving,     3     (help) to fill the legal gap in China’s smart car industry.

“Shenzhen is giving self-driving cars     4     legal “identity card”, a key move in accelerating the commercialization of autonomous vehicles,” experts said, adding that more legal     5     (measure) and more testing experience are needed before widening such trials.

The new rule said automakers don’t     6     (necessary) have to equip fully autonomous vehicles with human driving modes and equipment,     7     must they have human drivers.

But such fully automated vehicles can only run on certain roads and sections designated (指定) by Shenzhen’s traffic management department, according to the rule,     8     was published on the official website of Shenzhen Municipal People’s Congress on Tuesday.

“In a traffic accident, if the damage     9     (cause) by the defects of a vehicle, the driver, the owner or the user of the vehicle, after paying for the bill, can request compensation (补偿) from the manufacturer or seller of the car in accordance with laws,” the new rule said.

Yu Qian, CEO and founder of QCraft, a Chinese self-driving startup, said, “China’s autonomous driving industry is entering a golden development period, with many     10     (effect) policies becoming increasingly clear and open, and technologies and algorithms (算法) becoming more powerful.”

During the past three decades,China    1     (witness)the railway industry’s transformation from making slow trains     2     making domestically manufactured high-speed trains

In 1997,China started     3     (it)first significant railway speed increase. Since then, the country’s high-speed rail technology has continued to achieve breakthroughs250 km/h to 350 km/h and then to 400 km/h.Made-in-China high-speed trains not only operate     4     (smooth) in freezing weather and desert    5     (region),but they also come with driverless technology Millions of railway workers take pride in their roles as the company provides    6     clear route for their professional advancement.Through    7     (train), practical operation and assessment, they can move up as a wiring worker to a technician, an operator an expert and even a scientist

As trains become faster and more intelligent, their software and hardware systems will become more complex thus requiring    8     (high)technical competence for daily maintenance by railway workers. For these diligent railway workers    9     have skilled craftsmanship, improving their skills tirelessly to ensure safe operation of the trains seems like an     10     (end)learning curve throughout life.

Nowadays, millions of people get the news of air crash whenever it happens. Therefore, the fear of flying     1     (rise) in the past few years. This causes many Americans     2     (drive) rather than fly, but is driving really a     3     (safe)way to travel than flying?

As a matter of fact,     4     the media doesn’t show the world are other automobile accidents; research over the past several years has shown that flying is the safest method of transportation. In a Newsweek magazine study     5     (test) deaths per 100 million miles of transportation, cars have 0.94 deaths while trains 0.04 deaths and planes and buses came out     6     same with 0.01 deaths.

When you look at the data, perhaps you will be worried about the     7     (frequent) of air crashes,       8     actually only a small percent of these crashes involve deaths. On the other hand, when there is a crash, there is usually a fairly large loss of life     9     (involve). And nearly every air crash     10     (probable) makes the front page headline in nearly every newspaper across the world.
