試題分析：本文通過對方討論了鐵路運營同飛機，汽車相比的優(yōu)勢，得出鐵路運營有著廣闊的前景。
小題1:根據(jù)上文 好多年了，人們一直認為鐵路是死的，鐵路太慢，而且汽車和飛機時鐵路沒有存在的必要，根據(jù)下文I think in these days of expensive oil, railways have become highly competitive with motorcars and planes.而我認為在油價很高的現(xiàn)代，鐵路和汽車和飛機相比更有競爭力，所以F起著橋梁作用，提出反對意見，引出下文所以F正確。
小題2:根據(jù)下文A plane goes in a straight line, and so does a railway，飛機可以直達，鐵路也如此，這是它們的共同之處，所E以正確。
小題3:根據(jù)Nor does it hold you up as a car does in heavy traffic，確定前句一定是否定句說明的是鐵路的優(yōu)點，所B以正確。
小題4: 根據(jù)上文對鐵路運營的觀點及下文Modern railway lines give you a smooth, untroubled journey.所以C正確。
小題5:根據(jù)上文最后總結(jié)出來一句話，即：鐵路運營有著廣闊的前景，所以A正確。
