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 36 really poor when he has a car.
Henry Ford was the man who first 37 making cars in large numbers. He 38 didn’t know how much the car was going to affect American culture. The car made the United States a nation on 39 . And it helped make the United States what it is today.
There are three 40 why the car becomes so popular in the United States. First of all the

will not be a bigger system of public transportation. The real solution(解决) will have to be a new kind of car, one that does not use so much oil.

第三部分：阅读理解（共20小题，每小题2分，满分40分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。
A
Early fires on the earth were certainly caused by nature, not by man. At first, man like other animals was probably afraid of fire. He knew that fire could hurt his body. The power of fire was so great that he feared it and worshipped it. Gradually, however, with his better powers of thinking he overcame(克服) his fear. Throughout the ages he learned more about fire, how to control it and how to use it in many ways. Now fire is no longer a master or a god; it is a servant
We can only guess how man first learned that a fire was useful and what uses he made of it. By taking a burning stick from fire started naturally, he could make a fire at his own “home”. He discovered that meat cooked on a fire tasted better. Then he found cooked meat would keep longer, without going bad, than uncooked meat.
Again, at some early date, man found how fire could be used to make certain metals from the rocks. But it was impossible for man to get iron from rocks at that time. The metal was not discovered until very much later.
56．Early fires on the earth were made __________.
A．by lightning, the hot materials from underground
B．by man instead of nature
C．by those who wanted to make fire with stone and small pieces of wood
D．by something still unknown in nature.
57．Man overcame his fear of fire because ____________.
A．he knew how to use sticks and stones to protect himself
B．he found out a way to stop burning
C．he became better at thinking and learned something about fire
D．he thought he had become taller and stronger than before
58．We can express the idea of the sentence “The metal was not discovered until very much later.” as _____________.
A．Man discovered the metal before long
B．It wasn’t until very much later that man discovered the metal
C．It was until very much later that man discovered the metal
D．To look for the metal man tried for many, many years

B
When a consumer(消费者) finds that something he or she bought is faulty or in some other way does not live up to what the producer says for it, the first step is to present the warranty(保单)， or any other records that might help, at the store of buying. In most cases, this action will produce results. However, if it does not, there are various means the consumer may use to gain satisfaction.
A simple and common method used by many consumers is to complain(投诉) directly to the store manager. In general, the “higher up” the consumer takes his or her complaint, the faster he or she can expect it to be settled. In such a case, it is usually settled in the consumer’s favour taking it as true that he or she has a just right.
Consumers should complain in person whenever possible, but if they cannot get to the place of buying, it is acceptable to phone or write the complaint in a letter.
Complaining is usually most effective when it is done politely but firmly and especially when the consumer can show clearly what is wrong with what was bought in question. If this can’t be done, the consumer will succeed best by presenting specific information as to what is wrong, rather than by making general statements. For example, “The left speaker does not work at all and the sound coming out of the right one is unclear” is better than “This stereo(立体音响) does not work.”
The store manager may advise the consumer to write to the producer, if so, the consumer should do this, stating the complaint as politely and as firmly as possible. But if a polite complaint does not achieve the expected result, the consumer can go a step further. He or she can threaten(恐吓) to take the seller to court or report the seller to a public organization responsible for protecting consumers’ rights.
60．When a consumer finds what he bought has a fault in it, he should first ___________.
A．complain personally to the manager
B．show something provable in written form to the store
C．threaten to take the matter to court
D．write a firm letter of complaint to the store
61．If a consumer wants a quick settlement of his problem, it’s better to complain to __________.
A．a shop assistant B．the producer C．a public organization D．a store manager
62．The most effective complaint about what was bought can be made by ________.
A．showing the fault of it to the producer
B．saying firmly it is of poor quality
C．asking politely to change it
D．explaining exactly what is wrong with it
63．The passage tells us _________.
A．how to make the complaint have a good effect
B．how to settle a consumer’s complaint
C．how to avoid buying something wrong
D．how to deal with complaints from consumers
C
Not only farmers but scientists have studied weather forecasting(预报). People, for many centuries and in all countries, have studied the weather and tried to make weather forecasts. Sometimes distant objects such as hills and tall trees seem to be very clear and near. This is a sign of much water- vapour in the air, and therefore a rain will probably come.
When distant sounds (such as the noise from a train, birds singing, or people shouting) are very clearly heard, then wet and stormy weather is on the way. Rings round the sun are a sign of coming rain.
Many people feel the coming of wet weather in their bones. Their joint aches. Some birds fly high if fine weather is coming, but they fly very near the ground if rainy weather or a storm is on the way. This is probably because the insects, which they are hunting, fly low at that time. If you see a rainbow during rainy weather, this is a sign that the weather will clear up and become fine. Such rainbows come in the evening. If the stars twinkle clearly at night, fine weather will continue. If a mist appears in the early morning, just about sunrise, the day will be warm.
If the sunset is mostly red in color, the following day will be fine. When big cumulous clouds(积云) appear at sunset, the bad weather will follow he next day.
If cirrus clouds(卷云) remain quite still, fine weather will come. If a rainbow appears in the morning, then rainy weather will probably come. Most of the above sayings have been made up by people who have used their eyes and their brains to forecast the weather.
64．Some birds fly high if fine weather is coming, because _________.
A．they like fine weather
B．they can fly high when fine weather is coming
C．they fly high to catch insects
D．they feel very happy
65．When big cumulous clouds appear at sunset, then the weather will _______ the next day.
A．be fine B．be bad C．be windy D．be cloudy
66．Weather will be fine if ____________.
A．you see rings round the sun
B．you see the distant objects very clear and near
C．you feel pain in your bones
D．the stars twinkle clearly at night
67．If you see a rainbow during rainy weather, it shows that the weather will clear up and become fine. This is because _____________.
A．there is much water- vapour in the air
B．there is not much water- vapour in the air
C．there is not any water- vapour in the air
D．there are all kinds of water- vapour in the air
68．In this passage “ wet weather” means ___________ weather.
A．cloudy B．rainy C．windy D．dry

Long after the 1998 World Cup was won, disappointed fans were still cursing the disputed refereeing(裁判) decisions that denied victory to their team. A researcher was appointed to study the performance of some top referees.
The researcher organized an experimental tournament(锦标赛) involving four youth teams. Each match lasted an hour, divided into three periods of 20 minutes during which different referees were in charge.
Observers noted down the referees’ errors, of which there were 61 over the tournament. Converted to a standard match of 90 minutes, each referee made almost 23 mistakes, a remarkably high number.
The researcher then studied the videotapes to analyse the matches in detail. Surprisingly, he found that errors were more likely when the referees were close to the incident. When the officials got it right, they were, on average, 17 meters away from the action. The average distance in the case of errors was 12 meters. The research shows the optimum(最佳的) distance is about 20 meters.
There also seemed to be an optimum speed. Correct decisions came when the referees were moving at a speed of about 2 meters per second. The average speed for errors was 4 meters per second.
If FIFA, football’s international ruling body, wants to improve the standard of refereeing at the next World Cup, it should encourage referees to keep their eyes on the action from a distance, rather than rushing to keep up with the ball, the researcher argues.
He also says that FIFA’s insistence that referees should retire at age 45 may be misguided. If keeping up with the action is not so important, their physical condition is less critical.
71．The experiment conducted by the researcher was meant to ___________.
A．review the decisions of referees at the 1998 World Cup
B．analyse the causes of errors made by football referees
C．set a standard for football refereeing
D．reexamine the rules for football refereeing
72．The number of refereeing errors in the experimental matches was _________.
A．slightly above average B．higher than in the 1998 World Cup
C．quite unexpected D．as high as in a standard match
73．The findings of the experiment show that _____________.
A．errors are more likely when a referee keeps close to the ball
B．the farther the referee is from the incident, the fewer the errors
C．the more slowly the referee runs, the more likely will errors occur
D．errors are less likely when a referee stays in one spot
74．The word “officials” (Line 3, Para. 4) most probably refers to ________.
A．the researchers involved in the experiment
B．the inspectors of the football tournament
C．the referees of the football tournament
D．the observers at the site of the experiment
75．What is one of the possible conclusions of the experiment?
A．The ideal retirement age for an experienced football referee is 45.
B．Age should not be the chief consideration in choosing a football referee.
C．A football referee should be as young and energetic as possible.
D．An experienced football referee can do well even when in poor physical condition.
