In several developing regions, most travel 【C10】______ in 2050 will still be devoted to nonmotorized modes. Buses will persist 【C11】______ the primary form of motorized transportation in developing countries for decades. 【C12】______ important air travel becomes, buses, automobiles and 【C13】______ low-speed trains will surely go on serving vital functions. 【C14】______ of the super-rich al ready commute and shop in aircraft, but average people will continue to spend most of their travel time on the 【C15】______.
【C15】______
选项 A、mountain
B、ground
