2017届高考英语二轮专题总复习阅读能力培养精品系列（五） 阅读理解 A Local police will begin pulling over drivers and cyclists tomorrow so they can fill out a survey to help the city better understand and improve its traffic situation. The survey, which will run from tomorrow until the end of the year, is the biggest of its kind in the city's history. It will be used to gather information about traffic patterns to help future urban planning, particularly for the World Expo in 2010. “The survey is to determine the city's daily and weekly traffic situations，” Zhang Yan, a senior engineer at the Shanghai Urban Planning and Design Research Institute, said yesterday. This is the third time the city has conducted a large-scale traffic survey. The other two surveys were conducted in 1986 and 1995. Officials will send questionnaires to pedestrians and drivers, record traffic jams in major areas, and analyze the information from electronic traffic signs. The Road Administrative Office will also survey traffic outside the Outer Ring Road, paying particular attention to vehicles entering or exiting the city. “With more vehicles from neighboring provinces, we have to find it out how many, when and for what purposes those vehicles are coming to the city，” said Dong Hui, a spokeswoman for the Road Administrative Office. |
