But with the arrival of the allnew Alfa Romeo 4C sports car this year, parent Fiats sportiest brand is back in business in Canada. The question is: Will anybody care? Although it hasnt sold a new car in Canada since 1995, the Alfa Romeo brand is one of the oldest in the Car industry. It was founded in 1910. It quickly became wellknown for making fast, beautiful and expensive sports cars. An Italian stateholding company took over in the early 1930s, but since 1986, the Alfa brand has been owned by Fiat.Unfortunately, Alfa Romeo met fresh competition from Japan. By the mid1990s, Alfas lone North American offerings were the Spider roadster (单排座敞篷轿车)Many Alfa fans will tell you the brand s success is on the racetracks (赛车场). Dating back to 1913, Alfa Romeo has always had a strong factory presence in racing. But since the late1980s the Italian automaker has become less involved in car races.While Alfa Romeo has shot a few videos of its new midengine, twoseat 4C, on a racetrack, there are no plans for the car maker to get back into racing.One of the biggest attractions for Toronto Alfa Romeo fan Vytas Svedas is the brands racing past. He currently takes part in many races with his father with a 1966 Alfa Giulia Sprint GT, and he thinks if Alfa wants to be taken seriously as it returns to selling cars in Canada, it has to get back on the racetrack.Of course, not all Alfa fans need a racetrack to enjoy their cars. David Semel is the president of the Alfa Romeo Club of Ottawa. Semels current ride is a 1964 Alfa Romeo Giulia SS. And, he admits, the main attraction of the Giulia SS is the way the car looks not how fast it can go.语篇解读本文是说明文。阿尔法罗密欧重返加拿大市场，人们对它重返加拿大市场所采取的策略意见不一。4What do we know about Alfa Romeo?AIt is quite affordable for the common people.BIt is a brand of a stateholding company.CIt has a history of about a century.DIt entered Canada in 1995.答案与解析C细节理解题。由第二段中的It was founded in 1910可知，阿尔法罗密欧品牌的汽车有一百多年的历史了。5Why did Alfa Romeo lose its Canadian market?ABecause the Canadians lost interest in sports cars.BBecause there were fewer car races held in Canada.CBecause it faced very strong competition from Japan.DBecause its quality couldnt meet the local buyers needs.答案与解析C细节理解题。由文章第三段Unfortunately, Alfa Romeo met fresh competition from Japan.
