Singapore’s public transport system (公共交通系统) is one of the best in the world, so you should have no problem finding your way around like a local (当地人). There are three main forms of public transport that you would find in any other major city—trains, buses and taxis.

TRAINS
Trains run from 6 a.m. to midnight. Single trip tickets start at 80 cents. If you buy an EZ-Link card for $15, you can ride the trains and buses all you like.
If you need more information, just call Transit Link on 1800 767 4333.
BUSES
There are several bus services in Singapore and fares (车费) start at 80 cents. Be sure to always ask the driver the cost of your ticket as he can not give changes.
If you need help, just call Transit Link on 1800 767 4333.
TAXIS
There are three main taxi companies—City Cab (6552 2222), Comfort (6552 1111) and Tibs (6552 8888). Booking (预订) can also be made easily by calling the numbers listed above.
RENTAL (租) CARS
Driving in Singapore is a pleasure and if you like to travel at your own pace, renting a car is a good choice. Renting takes away the hassle of getting to places around Singapore. Just sit back and enjoy the city. It also means you’ll get to see a lot more that a train or a bus won’t let you see.
For car rental, call Avis on [phone].

解析

本文讲的是新加坡的公共交通系统的三种交通方式，洗车，火车和的士。
1.   C 此题是细节考查题。 首选定位到buses再看到下句If you need help, just call Transit Link on 1800 767 4333可知答案为C。
2.   A 此题是考查对句子的理解，If you buy an EZ-Link card for $15, you can ride the trains and buses all you like，可知可以选择两种方式，即trains和buses,选A。
3.   B 同样是对细节的考查。首先也是定伴到buses，从be sure to(一定要) always ask the driver the cost of your ticket as he can not give changes（不会找零钱）可知选B。
4.   A 此题考查对单词的猜测能力。Renting takes away(省去…) the hassle of getting to places around Singapore 可知是省去麻烦，自己租车了很明显方便多了，选A。
5.   D 此题是对全文的归纳，很明显文章列出了其中的三种方式，意在说明其公共交通系统的发达和方便，故选D，A,B,C只是文章的一个方面。
