Without a car most people feel that they are poor. And even if a person is poor he doesnt feel really poor when he has a car.Henry Ford was the man who first started making cars in large numbers. He probably didnt know how much the car was going to change American culture. The car made the United States a nation on wheels. And it helped make the United States what it is today. There are three main reasons why the car became so popular in the United States First of all the country is a big one and Americans like to move around it. The car makes the travel the most comfortable and cheapest. With a car people can go to any place without spending a lot of money.The second reason cars are popular is the fact that the United States never really developed a practical and cheap public travel system. Long distance trains have never been as common in the United States as they are in other parts of the world. Now there is a good system of air- service provided by planes. But it is too expensive to be used often.The third reason is the most important one, though. The American spirit of independence is what really made cars popular. Americans dont like waiting for a bus, or a train or even a plane. They dont like to have to follow an exact timetable. A car gives them the freedom to plan their own time. And this is the freedom that Americans want most to have.Less oil has caused a big problem for Americans. But the answer will not be a bigger system of public transportation. The real answer will have to be a new kind of car, one that does not use so much oil.1.Which of the following statements is TRUE?A In the United States even the poor own cars.B In the United States all the poor have no cars.C When an American has a car, he will never be poor.D An American will feel poor unless he has a car.2.We can learn from this passage that Americans _.A spend a lot of money traveling by car B travel a lot in their carsC seldom travel by plane D use public traffic often3.Which of the following is not told in the passage?A Buses, trains and planes are not comfortableB Traveling by car is not expensive.C Americans have the spirit of independenceD Americans often move from place to place4.In the writers opinion, cars are popular in the United States mainly because _.A Americans like to plan their own timeB The United States does not have enough public transportationC Americans will not feel poor when they travel in their carsD Americans cannot move around without their own cars5. “A nation on wheels” in the second paragraph means that _.A everyone in the United States owns a carB the United States produces most of the cars in the worldC cars play an important part in American lifeD the United States depend on car industry for its development【参考答案】14、DBAAC阅读理解。The financial crisis is reminding Americans of a lesson they first learned in childhood: Share and share alike. They are sharing or swapping tools and books, cars and handbags, time and talent. The renewed desire to share shows up in a variety of examples: A car-sharing service has had a 70 percent membership increase since the crisis occurred. Some companies encouraged his employees to take vanpooling. Governments are putting bikes on the street for public use. How-to-swap Web sites are increasing quickly. The economy reflects the way Americans have cut back, especially on daily items: Department store sales dropped 1.3 percent in June. People are not buying cars, and as a result, auto sales dropped 27.7 percent last month. They are not paying others to do what they can do themselves Home Depot reports increased attendance at in-store do-it-yourself clinics. And although paint sales are down in general, according to Sherwin-Williams, individual consumers are still buying. When Tom Burdett needed to cut some tiles at his home outside Annapolis, he refused to buy expensive tools. So he asked his neighbors and friends for help. Sure enough, someone had just what he needed. And when that friend needed help fixing a satellite dish, Burdett volunteered to help. The sharing mind-set is not new to the American culture, but many Americans give it up when the nation changed from an agricultural society to an industrial one, said Rosemary Hornak, a psychology professor at Meredith College in Raleigh, N.C. They moved farther from their families and did not have time to connect with new neighbors because they worked so much, she said. Neighborhood conversations tell more of the story as the movement grows organically (持续地) in communities across the Washington region and the nation. On one street in Arlington, for example, neighbors are collecting their separate money for mulch (覆盖料) and dividing it among themselves. 52. What is the text mainly about? A. Introducing a new way of life. B. Sharing in the financial crisis. C. How to reduce the living expense. D. How to handle the financial crisis.53. Why do people in modern times give up the sharing mind-set? A. Because they dont need it at all. B. Because they arent interested in it. C. Because they are busy with work. D. Because they hate being disturbed. 54. The underlined phrase “cut back” in Para. 3 probably means _.A. shared B. helped C. abandoned D. reduced55. It can be inferred from the passage that _. A. more and more Americans solve problems in their daily life by helping each other .B. if the prices of service goes down, individual consumers wont do something themselves. C. the sharing-mind set is a strange to many Americans.D. when the crisis ends, Americans will abandon the sharing-mind set. 体裁：记述文 词数：320 难度系数： 建议用时：7分钟 类别： 主旨大意+细节理解+词义猜测+推理判断 本文标题：Sharing【文章大意】本文主要讲了在经济危机之下，美国人又重新拾起了分享这一生活方式，以便共同度过难关。 52.【考点分析】主旨大意题。【参考答案】B。【解题思路】根据文章第一段第一句中出现的“sharing and sharing alike”以及下面所举的例子，可知本文主要是讲述了经济危机中人们之间的互相分享。53.【考点分析】细节理解题。【参考答案】C。【解题思路】根据倒数第二段中的最后一句话“they worked so much”推知人们都忙于自己的工作，故参考答案为C。54.【考点分析】词义猜测题。【参考答案】D。【解题思路】根据划线部分后举的例子，指人们在一些方面减少了开支，可推知cut back的意思是“减少”，故参考答案为D。 55.【考点分析】推理判断题。【参考答案】A。【解题思路】根据文章的中心思想是sharing以及文中所举的例子可以看出，更多的美国人倾向于互相分享、帮助解决问题。 阅读理解。Columbus College , 241 Queen Elizabeth Drive ,Kowloon CityMemoTo: All Staff From: Jackie Mock, Secretary; Sports Development CommitteeDate: May 20, 2010A week ago, “Sports for Life” programmer was sent to the parents, requiring them to select a sport they wanted their child to play.
