    MANILA, Dec. 20 (Xinhua) -- The Asian Development Bank (ADB) is providing a 100-million-U.S. dollar loan to expand Lae Port, the largest and most important port in Papua New Guinea (PNG), the bank said in a press release on Thursday.
    The Lae Port Development Project involves the construction of port facilities including a tidal basin, a multipurpose berth and terminal works including buildings, storage areas, roads, drainage, water, electricity and sewerage services, said the multilateral development finance institution.
    The port sector is particularly critical for Papua New Guinea since 15 out of 20 provinces in the Pacific island nation are on the coast and more than 60 percent of its 6 million people are widely dispersed. There is no national rail or road network.
    Lae Port serves as a gateway linking the world market with a large hinterland, which comprises half of Papua New Guinea. Since 1995, the port has experienced an average annual increase in cargo of 131,000 tons, with containerized cargo growing more than 5 percent and general cargo by 2.5 percent annually. Frequent congestion at the port results in high costs for users and hampers international and domestic trade. The situation is expected to worsen as the country's economic prospects remain strong, the lender said.
    "Unless Lae port is expanded, and capacity increased, Lae port will become a binding constraint to the continued economic prosperity of this island nation," said Philip Erquiaga, Director-General of ADB's Pacific Department.
               
            听力和书面表达通常是我们学生的弱项,希望大家在英语朗读的方法下,并结合实际情况安排练习,不要一味模仿别人,要在练习过程中及时总结经验,包括时间安排等,让自己的考研英语水平得到一个很大的提升!
