The more easily goods can be broughtover the distance that separates producer and consumer, the better for trade. When there were norailways, no good roads, no canals, and only small sailing ships, trade was on asmall scale.（2）The great advances made in transport during the last two hundred years were acpanied byabig increase in trade. bigger and faster ships enabled atrade in meat to develop between britainand New Zealand, for instance. Quicker transport makes possible mass-production and big busi-ness, drawing supplies from, and selling goods to, all parts of the globe. big factories could not ex-ist without transport to carry the large number of workers they need to and from their homes. bigcity stores could not have developed unless customers could travel easily from the suburbs andgoods were delivered to their homes. big cities could not survive unless food could be brought fromadistance.（3）Transport also prevents waste.

The cheaper and quickertransport bees,the longer the distance over which goods can profitably be carried． Countrieswith poor transport have alower standard of living.（5）Commerce requires not only the moving of goods and people but also the carrying of messagesand information. Means of munication, like telephones, cables and radio, send informationabout prices, supplies, and changing conditions in different parts of the worlD． In this way, ad-vanced munication systems also help to develop trade.1.[不定向选择题]Paragraph 3__________A.Higher Living Standard B.Importance of Transport in Trade C.Various Means of Transport D.birth of Transport-related Industries and TradeE.Role of Information in TradeF.PublicTransportationABCDEF确定 2.[不定向选择题]Paragraph 4__________A.Higher Living Standard B.Importance of Transport in Trade C.Various Means of Transport D.birth of Transport-related Industries and TradeE.Role of Information in TradeF.PublicTransportationABCDEF确定
