but it is a real eye-catcher. it has something that modern cars just dont have - style and character. i still drive it most days, even though it only does about 15 miles to the gallon! petrol was just six shillings (30p) a gallon when mr harrison bought the bentley, which had a top speed of 120mph. he has spent thousands of pounds on repairs over the years but has kept the bodywork in good condition himself, hand-painting the underneath and spraying the black panels of the bodywork. for decades the bentley was a regular sight on the roads near mr harrisons home in hampton court, surrey. he now uses it as a runaround after retiring to whitney-on-wye, herefordshire. mrs harrison, 71, said: “it was a nuisance(累赘) keeping it in tip-top order with me helping out with the repairs by passing mike the spanners the whole time. but i wouldnt have changed any of it - i feel like a queen every time im in it.”1. when mike harrison bought his black bentley sports car, it was .a. a hand made car b. a second hand carc. one of only three leftd. unique in style答案解析：答案为b。本题为细节推理题。由文章第二段第二句话 “it had already done 85,000 miles ” 可知，mike harrison 买车的时候，车已经跑了85,000 miles，可以推断, bentley sports car是二手车。故答案为b。2. mike harrison would never sell the car mainly because .a. it has witnessed his life and his familyb. it is very eye catchingc. it has save much oild. it runs very fast 答案解析：答案为a。本题为推理题。由第三段 “mr harrison, 74, says he would never sell the car which has been my best friend and part of my family all my life ”.和第四段的进一步解释可知，这辆车一直陪伴着他和他的家庭，故答案为a。3. it can be concluded from the passage that the car .a. has cost more for repairs than it is worthb. has almost been retiredc. has caused much trouble to mrs. harrison.d. is priceless to the family 答案解析：答案为d。本题为文章主旨推理题。通读全文可知，尽管mike harrison 的车现在已经速度减慢，需要经常修理，但是它见证了mike harrison和他的家庭生活，所以这辆车在他们的心中是无价的。故答案为d。 由第三段 “it is now one of only three left in the country and is worth 250,000.”和第六段 “he has spent thousands of pounds on repairs over the years ”可知，车的修理费是几千镑，但是价值是250,000镑，故a选项错误。 由最后一段最后一句话 “but i wouldnt have changed any of it - i feel like a queen every time im in it.”可知，这辆车还是在使用，并没退休，故b选项错误。c选项未提及。4. whats the main purpose of this writing?a. to show that an old car is better than a new one.b. to share mike harrisons story of his first car.c. to ask people to treasure old things.d. to describe the quality of a black bentley. 答案解析：答案为b。本题考查文章的写作目的，结合前面的问题可知，全文都是在围绕mike harrison和他的车展开，故答案为b。阅读理解motherhood may make women smarter and may help prevent dementia (痴呆) in old age by bathing the brain in protective hormones (荷尔蒙) ，u.s.researchers reported on thursday.tests on rats show that those who raise two or more litters of pups do considerably better in tests of memory and skills than rats who have no baby，and their brains show changes that suggest they may be protected against diseases such as alzheimers (早老性痴呆症)university of richmond psychology professor craig kinsley believes his findings will translate into humans.“our research shows that the hormones of pregnancy (怀孕) are protecting the brain，including estrogen (雌激素)，which we know has many neuroprotective (保护神经的) effects，” kinsley said.“its rats data but humans are mammals just like these animals are mammals，” he added in a telephone interview.“they go through pregnancy and hormonal changes.”kinsley said he hoped public health officials and researchers will look to see if having had children protects a woman from alzheimers and other forms of agerelated brain decline.“when people think about pregnancy，they think about what happens to babies and the mother from the neck down，” said kinsley，who presented his findings to the annual meeting of the society of neuroscience in orlando，florida.“they do not realize that hormones are washing on the brain.if you look at female animals that have never gone through pregnancy，they act differently toward young.but if she goes through pregnancy，she will sacrifice her life for her infantthat is a great change in her behavior that shows in genetic alterations to the brain.”31how do scientists know “motherhood may make women smarter”？asome researchers have told them
