Cars are an important part of life in the United States. Without a car most people feel that they are poor. And even if a person is poor he doesn’t feel really poor when he has a car.
Henry Ford was the man who first started making cars in large numbers. He probably didn’t know how much the car was going to chan ge 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 don’t like waiting for a bus, or a train or even a plane. They don’t 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 cars
C seldom travel by plane
D use public traffic often
3.Which of the following is not told in the passage?
A Buses, trains and planes are not comfortable
B Traveling by car is not expensive.
C Americans have the spirit of independence
D Americans often move from place to place
4.In the writer’s opinion, cars are popular i n the United States mainly because ___.
A Americans like to plan their own time
B The United States does not have enough public transportation
C Americans will not feel poor when they travel in their cars
D Americans cannot move around without their own cars
5. “A nation on wheels” in the second paragraph means that _______.
A everyone in the United States owns a car
B the United States produces most of the cars in the world
C cars play an important part in American’ life
D the United States depend on car industry for its development

【2014综合测试】
The recent publication of autobiographies by two of Britain’s great scientists, biologist Richard Dawkins and physicist Stephen Hawking, is a wonderful opportunity to compare and contrast these two remarkable men. Surprisingly, they have rather more in common than we think.
Most striking is the similarity in their backgrounds. They were born in the early 1940s to middle class families---not wealthy but comfortably off, with a strong commitment to academic excellence and public service. Both families were keen to send their boys to Oxford University---and both succeeded, Dawkins studying zoology and Hawking physics.
Neither author has a very positive view of his early university life. Hawking describes the attitude at Oxford in the 1950s and 1960s as very anti-work, “You were supposed to either be brilliant without effort or fail. Hard work was looked down upon by students and we all pretended that nothing was worth making an effort for.” He estimates that he studied for no more than an hour a day as an undergraduate student （本科生）.
Undergraduate life was somewhat more rewarding for Dawkins. Like Hawking, he wasn’t particularly hard-working and never attended his lectures. But he found Oxford’s system of weekly essay-based lessons with an academic tutor useful, “It was really only the tutorial system that educated me.”
For both men, scientific life really got going as postgraduates after 1962. Dawkins, who remained at Oxford, describes brilliantly the academic competition among the postgraduate students, which he believed helped push him to develop the ideas that formed the basis of his most famous book, The Selfish Gene. This volume transformed scientific thinking about Darwinism evolution.
Hawking, on the other hand, moved to Cambridge University after
graduation, where his research into the universe would eventually make him the most famous physicists since Albert Einstein. He writes movingly about the disease which progressively crippled his entire body, leaving him unable to move and only able to communicate using a computer controlled by his eyes. Although communication is slow---he can write only 3 words a minute using the machine---his illness has not affected his mind or his research on space-time and origins of the universe.
Each book is recommended individually as a personal introduction to an important scientific thinker. Read together, they provide a superb background to the academic and social climate of postwar British research.
41. Which of the following describes a similarity in Hawking’s and Dawkins’ backgrounds?
A. They were both from wealthy families.
B. They studied the same subject in university.
C. They graduated from the same secondary school.
D. They both came from families that valued good education.
42. Why did Hawking study very little as an undergraduate student?
A. He preferred doing his own research and experiments.
B. Students considered it inappropriate to study too much.
C. The materials discussed in lectures were very easy for him.
D. He was more interested in making friends with his classmates.43. According to Dawkins, what helped him develop his most important ideas?
A. His hard work as an undergraduate.
B. The support he received from his family.
C. The excellent tutors at Oxford University.
D. The competition from other postgraduate students.
44. What can we reasonably infer about the two scientists from the passage?
A. Dawkins worked much harder than Hawking as an undergraduate.
B. Hawking is more respected by the scientific community.
C. They knew each other during their studies a t Oxford.
D. Hawing has experienced more physical difficulties.
45. What is the function of the last paragraph?
A. To state which book the writer prefers.
B. To recommend the reviewed books to readers.
C. To summarize the achievements of the two scientists.
D. To suggest the order in which the books should be read.

【2014一模试题】
I used to think of myself as a fairly open person, but my bookshelves told a different story. Apart from a few Indian novels and the Australian
and South African book, my literature collection consisted of British and American titles. Worse still, I hardly ever read anything in translation. My reading was limited to stories by English-speaking authors.
So, at the start of 2012, I set myself the challenge of trying to read a book from every country in a year to find out what I was missing. As I was unlikely to find publications from nearly 200 nations on the shelves of my local bookshop, I decided to ask the planet’s readers for help. I created a blog called A Year of Reading the World and put out an appeal for suggestions of titles that I could read in English.
The response was amazing. Before I knew it, people all over the planet were getting in touch with ideas and offers of help. Some posted me books from their home countries. Others did hours of research on my behalf. In addition, several writers sent me unpublished translations of their novels, giving me a rare opportunity to read works otherwise unavailable to the 62% of the British who only speak English. Even so, selecting books was no easy task. With translations making up only around 4.5 percent of literary works published in the UK and Ireland, getting English versions (版本)of stories was difficult.
But the effort was worth it. I found I was visiting the mental space of the storytellers. These stories not only opened my mind to the real life in other places, but opened my heart to the way people there might feel.
And that in turn changed my thinking. Through reading the stories shared with me by bookish strangers around the globe, I realised I was not alone, but part of a network that spread all over the planet.
21. Which of the following might be found on the blog A Year of Reading the World?
A. Lists of English version books.
B. Research on English literature.
C. Unfinished novels by British writers.
D. Comments on English literature.
22. Why was it hard for the author to select the right books to read?
A. The author had a busy schedule.
B. The author was only interested in a few topics.
C. The author could only read books written in English.
D. Most books recommended are not available in local bookshops.
23. The author is probably from_________.
A. America
B. the UK
C. Australia
D. Canada
24. Which of the following words can best describe the author’s experience?
A. fast and effortless
B. challenging but rewarding
C. hopeless but beneficial
D. meaningful but fruitless
