【解析】

本文是一篇说明文，目前世界上主要的公共交通工具是公交车和地铁，文章详细介绍了这两种公共交通工具并列举了一些城市对公共交通的工具的利用。

1.考查不定式复合结构。句意：对于世界上很多来说拥有汽车太贵了。不定式复合结构为：for/of sb to do sth，其中sb是动作的发出者。故填to own。

2.考查定语从句。本题定语从句的先行词是those distances，这是指物的先行词，所以要使用关系代词which/that指代，引导定语从句并在句中做主语。故填that/which。

3.考查连词。句意：如果你乘坐地铁或关键词，你就能够享用公共交通的好处。在疑问句和条件句中通常使用or而不是and。故填or。

4.考查with复合结构。句意：很多人共同使用一辆公交车或火车，交通流量会更少，更重要的是污染更少了。介词with的复合结构为“with+宾语+宾语补足语”，本句中with的宾语many people与动词share构成主动关系，所以使用现在分词sharing one bus在句中做宾语补足语。故填sharing。

5.考查副词。副词在句中通常做状语修饰形容词、副词、动词或整个句子。句意：很多人共同使用一辆公交车或火车，交通流量会更少，更重要的是污染更少了。本句中副词importantly在句中做状语，故填importantly。

6.考查非谓语动词。本句中动词describe与public transportation 构成被动关系，所以使用过去分词短语described below做定语修饰public transportation。句意：下面描述的公共交通类型中哪一种是你所熟悉的？故填described。

7.考查宾语从句。本句中what引导从句做动词imagine的宾语，并在句中做动词hold的宾语。句意：如果常规的关键词能够容纳很多人，想象一下两倍尺寸的公交车那个容纳多少人。故填what。

8.句意：海地的公交车通常非常拥挤，乘客坐在车顶上都是很常见的。根据上文中crowded，可知海地的公交车很拥挤，后句中使用双重否定表示肯定，强调拥挤程度。故填uncommon。

9.考查名词。句中谓语动词tap前面是主语，tap是复数形式，说明主语应该使用ride的名词rider的复数形式riders。故填riders。

10.考查形容词。句意：在巴黎墨西哥和东京人们经常乘坐地铁上学上班或去其他社区看望朋友。句中形容词other做定语修饰名词neighborhoods。故填other。
