提示：

(1)	由上文中only that和下文中full of traffic可知此处应为already。
(2)	此处强调乡村路况差，为下文论述“用公交车”的好处埋下伏笔。
(3)	整篇文章在说“以车代步”的情况，且空格后宾语为distances，故用travel。
(4)	that引导定语从句，修饰distances，由语境知此处指“走着太远的路程”。
(5)	use用作动词，意为“利用”。
(6)	subway与bus都是公交工具，故用or表示“或者”。
(7)	由下文知，此处感谢公交给人们带来的某些好处，表示肯定的态度。
(8)	指和别人同乘一辆车。
(9)	同乘一辆车可减轻交通压力，更重要的是减轻污染，其他选项不全面。

(11)	be known as是固定短语，意为“以……而著称”。
(12)	双重否定表肯定，意为非常“普遍”，与语境相一致。
(13)	与下文语境相符合，指“坐在车顶上”。
(14)	据上文的Buses are called tap-taps以及下文when they want to be dropped off知，车顶的人要下车时敲一敲，司机才知道。
(15)	由下句“beneath the streets and run underground trains及the subway system”知，此处选择tunnel最佳。
(16)	both…and…为固定用法。
(17)	develop强调“开发使用，发展”。
(18)	various数量之多，即“各种各样的”。
(19)	据上下文和搭配判断，此处指平均速度达到多少。
(20)	强调最快速度，应用形容词最高级“fastest”。
