Task 2 Directions: This task is the same as Task 1 The 5 questions or unfinished statements are numbered 45 through 47 44 Cars are an important part of life in the United States.
28、 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 had 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 affect American culture. The car made the Unite
29、d Stated a nation on wheels. And it helped make the United States what it is today. There are three main reasons why the car become so popular in the United States. First of all, the country is a huge one and Americans like to move around in it. The car provides the most comfortable and cheapest for
30、m of transportation. With a car people can go anyplace without spending a lot of money. The second reason cars are popular is the fact that the United States never really developed an efficient and inexpensive form of public transportation. Long-distance trains have never been as common in the count
31、ry as they are in other parts of the world. Nowadays there is a good system of air-service provided by planes. But it is too expensive to be used frequently. The third reason is the most important one, though. The American spirit of independence is what really made cars popular. Americans don t like
32、 to wait for a bus, or a train or even a plane. They don t like to have to follow an exact schedule. A car gives them the freedom to schedule their own time. And this is the freedom that Americans want most to have. The gas shortage has caused a big problem for Americans. But the answer will not be
33、a bigger system of public transportation. The real solution will have to be a new kind of car, one that does not use so much gas. 45 Most Americans feel they are poor when they_. （ A） have no job （ B） have no food （ C） have no money （ D） have no car 46 Henry Ford was the first to_cars in large numbe
34、rs. （ A） invent （ B） sell （ C） have （ D） produce 47 “A nation on wheels“ means that_. （ A） the country is producing the best cars in the world （ B） everyone in this country owns a car （ C） cars play a very important role in people lives （ D） there are more cars than trains in this country 48 With a
35、car people can go_easily. （ A） anywhere （ B） to anyplace （ C） to anywhere （ D） any place 49 The real solution to the gas shortage problem is_. （ A） to make less cars （ B） to develop a public transportation system （ C） to make gas-saving cars （ D） to develop train service Task 3 Directions: The follo
