中国目前拥有世界上最大最快的高速铁路网。高铁列车

的运行速度还将继续提升，更多的城市将修建高铁站。高铁

大大缩短了人们出行的世界。相对飞机而言，高铁列车的突

铁极大地改变了中国人的生活方式。如今，它已经成了很多

人商务旅行的首选交通工具。越来越多的人也在假日乘高铁

过去，拥有一辆私家车对大部分中国人而言是件奢侈的

事。如今，私家车在中国随处可见。汽车成了人们生活中不

可或缺的一部分，他们不仅开车上下班，还经常驾车出游。

有些城市的汽车增长速度过快，以至于交通拥堵和停车位不

足的问题日益严峻，这些城市的市政府不得不出台新规，限

制上路汽车的数量。由于空气污染日益严重，现在越来越多

的人选择购买新能源汽车，中国政府也采取了一些措施，支

持新能源汽车的发展。
