Ⅳ. 阅读理解

13、

In Europe, small cars have always been more popular than large cars. In the United States, large cars and midsize cars

are more popular than smaller cars. As a result, European automakers used to make different kinds of small cars while

American automakers used to build bigger, heavier cars. However, these days, automakers in both America and Europe

produce cars of different sizes. This is because most automakers sell their cars all over the world.

The price of gasoline (

汽油

) is one reason for differences in car choices. Since gasoline is more expensive in Europe,

many Europeans want smaller, lighter cars that will travel a long way on a gallon (

加仑

) of gasoline.

Other reasons also enter into the big or little car decision. Many European cities have narrow, winding (

弯曲的

) streets.

In these cities a small car is easier to control than a large one.

For a long time, few Americans bought small cars. Instead they chose large cars, because these

roomy

cars were more

comfortable for large families and long trips. Some people also liked the powerful engines (

发动机

) that large cars had.

Since gasoline was cheap, drivers did not mind that the large cars used a lot of gasoline.

But in the 1970s, there were gasoline shortages in the United States. The price of gasoline went up. Though large cars

were still more popular than smaller cars, sales of small cars increased. Some people also bought small cars because

these cars caused less air pollution than larger cars.

Today, Americans’ car choices are still changing. Though Americans are still buying many small cars, the fastest

growing sales are for certain kinds of large cars. These types of cars are called minivans and sport utility vehicles (SUV).

They are very popular today. But of course, that could change tomorrow.

1

．

Which of the following does the article lead you to believe?

A

．

Sport utility vehicles are small cars.

B

．

Minivans are becoming less popular.

C

．

European car companies sell many cars in America.

D

．

Cars with powerful engines caused less air pollution.

2

．

What does the word “

roomy

” in Paragraph 4 mean?

A

．

having much space B

．

having little space

C

．

having a large room D

．

having a small room

3

．

What can we infer (

推断

) from the article?

A

．

Small cars are better than large cars.

B

．

The price of gasoline is always rising.

C

．

Large cars will always be popular in the United States.

D

．

People like to have different kinds of cars to choose from.

14、阅读理解。

Success by failure

I had failed again

．

It was the day of the big marathon

．

I had decided three years ago to train for the half-marathon

event and take home a medal

．

There I sat, in front of my TV, while I watched others cross the finish line

．

It was just

another in a long string (

串

) of failures

．

I had never met a single weight loss or fitness goal and I was majoring in the

art of failing

．

We are a family of exploration and often plan active vacations

．

It seemed that on every vacation I was the one who

couldn't go the distance

．

Each time I urged (

催促

) my family, "Go on without me

．

Bring me lots of pictures and

videos

．

I'll be fine just sitting here taking in the view

．

" I lied

．

Sick of being left behind, I decided that it would never

happen again

．

Sure I was in my 50s, but surely there was still hope for me

．

I always spent weeks walking to prepare

for our active vacations

．

I had lost weight many times

．

I just always seemed to fail to get where I needed to be

．

But this time I would do something different

．

I was going to walk a half marathon

．

Surely 1 would lose weight and get

in shape if I could complete over 12 miles in four hours

．

Besides, this would be training

．

Training sounded cooler than

diet and exercise

．

_______and ready to go

．

I bought the proper gear (

装备

) , checked out what type of drinks would be

handed out at the marathon and prepared a lot

．

I had a plan!

Now two years later, there I sat, watching thousands of people of all ages succeed where I had failed

．

I walked out,

angry with myself, sat down and had myself a pity party

．

I was a master at the art of pity parties, having a great deal of

experience in holding them

．

What was my problem? Where was I going wrong? I stopped and considered each failure,

one by one

．

I made some very interesting discoveries

．

I had failed to climb to the top of that Mayan pyramid, but I did climb it and stood on those ancient stones

．

I had failed

to meet a single weight loss goal and yet I had lost 43 pounds

．

I couldn't walk 12 miles in four hours, but I could walk

12 miles

．

All my failures were sounding like a success story

．

This time I was giving thanks

．

I was thankful that I had been given

the spirit of failure because failure meant that I was trying, that I didn't give up

．

I decided that I would be crossing the

finish line next year
