一、根据汉语提示填短文
In London, the traffic is very heavy. Sometimes a journey of a few kilometres can take 1. ____(更多的) than an hour.
So what's the 2. ____(最好的) way to get across London? For a very 3. ____(短的) journey, it's a good idea to walk. But what happens when you want to go 4. ____(更远地)? The presenters on a popular TV programme did an experiment (实验) to find out the answer. They chose 5. ____(不同的) ways to make the same 27-kilometre journey. One presenter went by bike. One went by car. Another chose the bus. And the 6. ____(最后的) one travelled by boat up the River Thames. They all started at the 7. ____(同样的) time and the same place in West London, but who got to City Airport in East London first? The bike came first. The second place was the boat. The bus came third and the car was last.
The bike was quicker than all the other ways and the car was the 8. ____(最慢的). The presenters weren't very happy with the outcome (结果) because they wanted the car to win. They said the bike wasn't a 9. ____(真的) winner because it was more dangerous. But the bike is the real winner. It is 10. ____(更便宜的) than a bus and healthier for you than a car. It's also better for our cities because it doesn't pollute (污染) the air.

答案： 1. more 由 than 及“更多的”可知，用比较级。
2. best 由“the... way to get across London”及“最好的”可知，用最高级。
3. short “短的”用 short 表达，且由 very 可知，用原级。
4. further 此处修饰动词 go，所以用副词，且由“更远地”可知，用比较级。
5. different 此处修饰名词 ways，所以用形容词。
6. last 空后面的 one 指代名词 presenter，所以用形容词。
7. same at the same time 意为“同时”。
8. slowest 此处是自行车、公共汽车、小轿车和船四者比较，所以用最高级。
9. real 此处修饰名词 winner，所以用形容词。
10. cheaper 由 than 可知，此处用比较级。
