新东方考研英语必背500句
第154句
with the building of good, fast motorways, long distances can be covered rapidly and pleasantly,
译文：由于修建了快捷的高速公路，我们能够迅速而又愉快地到达遥远的地方。
点睛：该句中有两个考点需注意，一是“with+复合结构”，二是cover -词的特殊用法。with the building of good，fast motorways就相当于since good,fast motorways have been built.cover在此不是“遮盖，覆盖；包含”等常见意思，而是“走完一段路程”。
they were hoping to cover 60 miles yesterday.
他们昨天计划走60英里。
考点归纳：“with+复合结构”在句中常作状语表伴随、方式、原因、条件等。具体结构如下：
*with+宾语+分词或短语
