5、ackage delivery companies.,Reading A,Reading A,Text,Task 1,Task 2,Business Know-how,Text A-1,How Do We Transport Our Goods? Goods must be transported from where they are produced to where their consumers are. There are five major modes of transport for goods, namely, rail transport, water transport,

6、 road transport, pipeline transport and air transport. Each mode of transport is characterized by different carriers.,Reading A,Text A-2,Railroads carry an important part of the total freight. The advantage of rail transport lies in its ability to meet different needs. Railroads can carry the heavie

7、st and the lightest products and can run at different speeds. For special types of goods railroads provide adapted cars. Thus for perishables refrigerator cars are used, for oil products there are tank cars, for different other materials dumper cars are used. The freight rates of railroads compare f

8、avorably with the other modes of transport.,Reading A,Text A-3,Waterway carriers offer a low-cost means of shipping bulky products which have a low transportation value in relation to weight. They are especially used when speed of transportation is not what matters the most. Container ships are comm

9、only used for the transport of goods between countries. Ore-carriers are specially designed for transporting ore, while tankers are used for crude oil transport.,Reading A,Text A-4,Motor-freight carriers are less advantageous for the transport of bulky, low-value goods. However, they can perform doo

10、r-to-door delivery, as they can reach even the most faraway places. Thus repeated handling and transshipment can be avoided, which is one of the advantages of transport by road. Tank lorries are used for liquids, refrigerator lorries for perishables, and vans for furniture and valuables.,Reading A,T

11、ext A-5,Pipelines carry liquids, gases, or solid/liquid mixtures over great distances. They can be laid on land or under water. In comparison with other carriers, they offer an economical way to transport crude oil and natural gas, especially when the volume is large. But the cost of construction an

12、d maintenance requires a large amount of investment.,Reading A,Text A-6,Air freight is used for goods where the higher cost of transport by air gives way to other considerations. For example, speed is the most important factor for the transportation of perishables, medicines and spare parts, while s

13、afety is the key to the transport of goods of high value.,Reading A,A-Trans-1,我们如何运输货物 货物必须从产地运往消费者所在地。目前有五种主要的货物运输方式，即：铁路、水路、公路、管道和航空运输。每种运输方式都有其不同的运载工具。,Reading A,A-Trans-2,铁路在整个货物运输中占据了重要的地位。铁路运输的优势在于这种运输方式能满足不同的需求。货物无论轻重均可通过铁路运输，速度亦可变化。特殊货物可使用改装车厢运输。冷藏车厢用来运输易腐货物，油罐车厢运输油品，其他各种原料可使用自卸车厢。相对于其他运输方式，

14、铁路运输的运费是比较优惠的。,Reading A,A-Trans-3,水路运输工具为大宗货物提供了廉价的运输方式，相对于其重量而言，这些大宗货物的运输价值较低。如果运输速度不是最主要考虑因素的话，人们特别愿意使用水路运输方式。集装箱货轮常用于国家之间运输货物，特别设计的矿石货船用于运输矿石，而运输原油则使用油轮。,Reading A,A-Trans-4,公路货车不太适合运输体积大、价值低的货物。不过，它们能实现门到门的递送，因为连最偏僻的地方它们都能去，这样避免了反复的搬运和转运，而这也正是公路运输的一个优势。人们使用罐车运输液体，用冷藏车运输易腐货物，而厢式货车则用来运输家具及昂贵的商品。,

15、Reading A,A-Trans-5,管道可远距离运输液体、气体或固液态混合体，可铺设于地上或水下。与其他运输工具相比，用管道运输原油和天然气经济实惠，运输量大时尤其如此。然而，管道建设及维护却需要大量的资金投入。,Reading A,A-Trans-6,当其他考虑优先于高昂的航空运费时，则可选择航空货运。例如，运输易腐货物、药品或机器备件时，速度是最重要的因素；而对于昂贵商品的运输，安全性则最为关键。,Reading A,to have the character or qualities of,Reading A,be characterized by,e.g. Your work is
