2. A。分析：段落中没有出现明显的中心词—反复重复出现的词汇。注意段首句（观点句），该句说“交通防止浪费”，可是被选项中没有提到“浪费”，因此看段落的其余部分内容—划线结构说“交通给我们提供的比以前更多种多样的食物和商品”，而段落的最后一句说“交通提高的我们的生活水平”。“更多种多样的食物和商品”与“生活水平”相关，因此确定段落中心，因此判断A是答案。 C. various means of transport
D. birth of transport-related industries and trade
E. role of information in trade

3. D. 分析：段首句中出现了“举例”的字眼，而且该句主要结构（划线结构）说“交通导致工业（新信息）和贸易的建立..”（观点句），而提到“工业”的只有D。其实下句中的“making things”也是与“工业”呼应。 C. various means of transport
E. role of information in trade
F. public transport

4. E. 分析：段落中反复地出现了“Means of communication（通讯方式）”，而且提到了Means of communication 的具体表现形式--“电话，电缆，无线电”，因此推断判断E是答案。而且段落的最后一句说“以这样的方式，先进的通讯系统也有助于发展贸易”，该句在内容上与E直接呼应。 A. to send goods to various parts of the world.

6. D。分析：Only引导的时间状语从句结构放在句首，所以句子需要倒装，因此D合适。该句的含义是“只有当商品能被很快地运道世界各地，才有可能进行大规模的生产”。 （借助文章相关句判断答案）
7. Transport has made it possible for people to eat whatever food they want ___.
7．B． 分析：利用句子中的核心词food作为答案线索，这样发现答案相关句：（第3段）Foods which at one time could be obtained only during a part of year can now be obtained all through the year. 该句揭示答案是B。 8. In the trade of modern society the transmission of information plays as important a role as ___.
