问题详情:
To swim across the English Channel takes at least nine hours. It‘s hard work. To fly over the channel takes only twenty minutes as long as you’re not held up at the airport,but it‘s an expensive way to travel. You can travel by hovercraft (气垫船)if you don’t mind the noise and that takes forty minutes. Otherwise,you can go by boat.
All these means of transport have their problems,and the weary traveler often dreams of being
able to driveto France in his own car. “Not possible”, you say. However, People are once again considering the idea of a channel tunnel or bridge. This time,the great London Councilis looking into the possibility of building a channel link straight to London.
A bridge would cost far more than a tunnel,but you would be able to by rail or by car on a bridge,yet a tunnel would provide a rail link only. Why is thisidea being discussed again? perhaps the main reason is that a link from London to the continent would stimulate(刺激) trade and revitalize the port,and would make London a main trading center in Europe.

A. air B. boat C. swimming D. A,B,or C
