阅读部分一直是中国考生的弱势，今天小编为大家介绍一篇ACT阅读文章，希望对大家ACT备考有所帮助。
当你去另一个国家旅行时，你可能要做的第一件事就是预订机票。然而，在少数几个国家，你是没法直接飞行抵达的。
When you're traveling to another country, the first thing you probably do is book your flight. In just a handful of countries, though, you won't be able to fly directly.
梵蒂冈位于罗马中部，面积只有109英亩。这个国家没有机场，但是游客可以通过意大利首都罗马轻松抵达。
As a 109-acre area nestled in the middle of Rome, Vatican City doesn't have its own airport, but visitors can easily get there via Italy's capital.
同样，圣马力诺也被包围在意大利的领土之中。作为全球第五小的国家，它有3.3万名居民，距离意大利里米尼的费德里科·费里尼国际机场仅9英里。
Similarly, San Marino is also surrounded by Italian land. The fifth smallest country in the world has a little more than 33,000 residents and sits just nine miles from Federico Fellini International Airport in Rimini, Italy.
要前往世界上第二小的国家摩纳哥--排名仅次于梵蒂冈--你得经由位于法国尼斯市的蓝色海岸国际机场，而该机场距人口只有3.85万的摩纳哥只有25分钟的车程。(或许这就是为什么开发商懒得创建一个像美国境内只有16分钟的最短航班。)
To visit Monaco -- the second-smallest country in the world, right behind the Vatican -- you'll have to go through France's Nice Cote d'Azur International Airport, which is just a 25-minute car ride away from Monaco, which has a population of just 38,500. (Maybe that's why developers didn't bother creating anything like the 16-minute shortest flight in America.)
有意思的是，世界上第三和第四小的国家--瑙鲁和图瓦卢--都分别拥有自己的机场;而第五和第六小的国家却没有。
Interestingly enough, the third and fourth smallest countries, Nauru and Tuvalu, respectively, have their own airports; the fifth and sixth smallest don't.
我们已经提到了圣马力诺(第五小国)，那么如果你要去列支敦士登，你就必须经由距该国首都24英里远、位于瑞士的圣加仑阿尔滕莱茵机场。
We already mentioned San Marino, and to get to Liechtenstein, you'll have to go through Switzerland's St. Gallen-Altenrhein Airport, 24 miles away from the capital.
想要直接飞到安道尔，也是不行的，因为从该国边境一端到达另一端仅需25英里的车程。
No such luck trying to fly into Andorra -- which only requires a 25-mile drive to get from one end of the country to the other-either.
安道尔位于比利牛斯山脉山谷，这意味着建造机场跑道的难度很大，因此，游客可以经由西班牙或法国到达安道尔。抵达安道尔首都的最短路径是通过西班牙的赫罗纳机场。
Sitting in a Pyrenees mountain range valley means building an airport runway would be difficult, so visitors can arrive through Spain or France. The closest option to Andorra's capital is Girona-Costa Brava Airport in Spain.
最后一个，巴勒斯坦，其领土上也没有机场，但是以色列的本古里安机场距伯利恒(巴勒斯坦西岸城市)只有26英里。
Finally, there are no airports directly in the Palestinian Territories, but Ben Gurion International Airport in Israel is just 26 miles away from Bethlehem.
