填空题
50 cents.[听力原文]New York now gets the only aerial cable cars in the United States that are part of an urban mass transit system.The new streetcars in the sky connect Manhattan with Roseville Island, a former little-used chunk of land in the middle of the East River that is now the site of an attractive residential complex.About 1,000 people already live in the New town on the island, and they welcomed the opening of the tramway—an aerial link 945 meters long. Red and White cars carry them aloft and deposit them just three and a half minutes later in Manhattan, where they can proceed to their jobs by bus or subway. The tramway fare is 50 cents.Once aboard, the passenger door slides shut and the cable car gently rises to its cruising height of 41 meters above ground for the journey at a speed of 26 kilometers an hour. Streets and shops begin to slip past underneath. At Roseville Island, the car slows to settle into the station.Each car carries 125 passengers. The tramway operates from 6 am to 2 am daily with cars running continuously in the morning and evening rush hours, and every 15 minutes at other times.Roseville Islanders would appear to have the best of city living—a pleasant, well-planned community with a sense of its own space around it, with magnificent views of Manhattan s famous skylines, yet just minutes from the city s busying streets.
