This line was horse-drawn for part of its route, until the 1880s. 　　The trains are automatically controlled from a central computer, which deals with all signaling and other safety factors, as well as adjusting speeds to keep within the timetable; on board each vehicle, Train Captains, who are also fully qualified drivers, are equipped with two-way radios to maintain contact with central control. There are passenger lifts, and self-service ticket machines, at every station. 　　A　was constructed in the nineteenth century. 　　C　follows some of the original lines. 　　2 We learn from the passage that the London Blackwell railway 　　B　was a busy line a few years ago. 　　D　was not originally a steam railway. 　　A　the line from the Tower Gateway Station to Poplar 　　C　the Millwall Extension Railway. 　　4 It appears that the Poplar to Stratford section of the DLR route was originally developed to 　　B　encourage trade with the North of England. 　　D　make the transport of goods easier. 　　A　an on-board central computer. 　　C　two-way radios operate by the drivers. 　　答案：1.
