Compared with other modes of transport, train technology might seem to be progressing as slowly as a suburban commuter service rattling its way from one station to another. Automotive technology,【C1】______, changes constantly: in the past decade satellite-navigation systems, hybrid power trains, proximity sensors and other innovations have【C2】______Each time you buy a new car, you will【C3】______a host of new features. Progress is【C4】______in aircraft, too, with【C5】______in in-flight entertainment and communication, fancy seats that turn into beds, and quieter and more efficient engines. Trains,【C6】______, appear to have changed a lot less.
This【C7】______is not entirely fair.【C8】______, people buy their own cars, so they pay more attention to automotive innovation. Carmakers are【C9】______in a constant arms race, trumpeting new features as a way to【C10】______their products. Nobody buys their own trains. Similarly, air passengers have a choice of【C11】______airlines and are far more likely to be aware of the【C12】______of rival fleets than they are of different types of train.【C13】______, trains have longer lives, so technology takes longer to become【C14】______The planning horizon for one rail project【C15】______to 2050.
【C16】______there is no【C17】______of new ideas, and they are steadily making their way out onto the rails.

Energy-efficiency and safety are up, and derailments are down. There are schemes to【C19】______electrical energy from braking trains into local power grids, and even more【C20】______plans for "moving platforms" that dock with high-speed trains.

本题考查上下文逻辑关系。首句提到,上文中对火车和其他交通方式的技术进步作出的比较不完全公平。从本句开始,是对“不公平”的原因的解释。本句及下文两句解释将火车技术和汽车技术作比较的不公平性:人们买自己的汽车,因此更关注汽车技术的革新。这是对第一方面原因的介绍,for one thing表明了这种逻辑关系,符合文意。
