  A very rapid increase in the number of cars began almost immediately after they were invented to meet the need for the regular rapid transportation and convenience.The car is such a part of our everyday life and so much taken for granted nowadays that we rarely think twice when we get into it and get it started.The USA is even referred to as“a nation on wheels”.But how many of you have ever thought how the car is designed and operated?

  In cars of normal design, the petrol system is made up of three main parts:storage tank, a pump and a carburetor.

  The petrol tank is fitted at the back of the car where it is out of the way, yet easily filled at a gas station.Tanks are in various capacity but they usually hold enough petrol for 250-300 miles running.Because the tank is at the opposite end of the car from the carburetor, which is fitted high up on the engine, a pump is needed to draw the petrol from one to the other, so it is from the carburetor that the petrol is finally fed into the engine.Pumps can be of two kinds:electrically operated or mechanically driven from the engine.

  Next time when you are driving a car, you may wonder what a great and magic invention the car is.

[  ]

B.

C.

(3)

[  ]

We lived in a very quiet neighborhood. One evening I heard a loud crash in the street. Earlier that evening my wife had asked me to go to the store to get some soft drinks. It seemed like this would be a good time to let my teenage daughter Holly practice her driving, so I sent her to the store in my truck.
At dinner my son talked about how much he liked my truck. I enjoyed having it, but I said: "Guy, my heart is not set on that truck. I like it but it is just metal and won’t last forever. Never set your heart on anything that won’t last."
After hearing the loud noise, the whole family ran outside. My son shouted: "Dad! Dad, Holly crashed your truck."
My heart sank and my mind was flooded with conflicting thoughts. Was anyone hurt? Who else was involved? As I ran to the door, I heard a voice in my heart say: "Here is a chance to show Holly what you really love. She’ll never forget it."
The accident had occurred in my own driveway. Holly had crashed my truck into our other vehicle, the family van (搬运车). In her inexperience, she had confused the brakes and the gas pedal. Holly was unhurt physically, but when I reached her, she was crying and saying: "Oh, Dad, I’m sorry. I know how much you love this truck." I held her in my arms as she cried.
Later that week a friend stopped by and asked what had happened to my truck. I told her the whole story. Her eyes moistened (湿润) and she said: "That happened to me when I was a girl. I borrowed my dad’s car and ran into a log that had fallen across the road. I ruined the car. When I got home my Dad knocked me to the ground and began to kick me."
Over 40 years later, she still felt the pain of that night.
I remember how sad Holly was and how I comforted her. One day, when Holly thinks back on her life, I want her to know what really matters in my life.
【小题1】How did the crash happen?

A.The van was parked in the wrong place that evening.
B.Holly stepped on the gas pedal instead of the brakes.
C.The brakes of the truck didn’t work properly.
D.Holly was too careless and young to drive a truck.
【小题2】Why didn’t the writer punish Holly?
A.He was so rich that he didn’t care about losing one truck.
B.He thought there was no point punishing her after the accident.
C.He believed the truck was made of metal and of poor quality.
D.He wanted Holly to know he loved her more than any possessions.
【小题3】What does the underlined sentence mean?
A.She still suffered physical pain.
B.She felt guilty of damaging the car.
C.It left a deep wound on her soul.
D.She was not forgiven by her Dad.
【小题4】Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?
A.What really matters?
B.Better to forgive and forget
C.Who is to blame?
D.Accidents will happen

What makes Americans spend nearly half their food dollars on meals away from home? The answers lie in the way Americans live today. During the first few decades of the twentieth century, canned and other convenience foods freed the family cook from full-time duty at the kitchen range. Then, in the 1940s, work in the wartime defense plants took more women out of the home than ever before, setting the pattern of the working wife and mother. Today about half of the country’s married women are employed outside the home. But, unless family members pitch in with food preparation, women are not fully liberated from that housework. Instead, many have become, in a sense, prisoners of the completely cooked convenience meals. It’s easier to pick up a bucket of fried chicken on the way home from work or take the family out for pizzas or burgers than to start opening cans or heating up frozen dinners after a long , hard day. Also, the rising divorce rate means that there are more single working parents with children to feed. And many young adults and elderly people, as well as unmarried and divorced mature people, live alone rather than as part of a family unit and don’t want to bother cooking for one.

Fast food is appealing because it is fast, it doesn’t require any dressing up, it offers a “fun” break in the daily outline, and the outlay of money seems small. It can be eaten in the car--- sometimes picked up at a drive-in window without even getting out---or on the run. Even if it is brought home to eat, there will never be any dirty dishes to wash because of the handy disposable (一次性的) wrappings. Children, especially, love fast food because it’s finger food, no struggling with knives and forks, no annoying instructions from adults about table manner.

1.Americans enjoy fast food mainly because __________.

   A. it can be eaten in the car

   B. it is much more tasty than home-made food

   C. one only uses his fingers while eating it

   D. it is time-saving and convenient

2.It can be inferred that children __________.

   A. want to have more freedom at table

   B. never wash dishes after each meal

   C. are good at using forks and knives while eating

   D. take eating time as a fun break

3. Many Americans are eating out and not cooking at home partially because __________.

   A. they want to make a change after eating the same food for years at home

   B. the food made outside home tastes better than food cooked at home

   C. many of them live alone and don’t like taking trouble to cook

   D. American women refuse to cook at home due to women’s liberation movement

4.According to the text, a drive-in window is a __________.

   A. car window from which you can see the driver

   B. window in the restaurant from which you get your takeout in the car

   C. place where you check the mechanic condition of your car

   D. place where you return the used plates after eating
