分，每小题2分) 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 United 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 form 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 country 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 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 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.

A. have no job

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

4. With a car people can go ________ easily.

B. to anyplace

Passsage Two

Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage.

Packaging is a very important form of advertising. A package can sometimes motivate people to buy products. For example, a little child might ask for a breakfast food contained in a box with a picture of a TV character. The child is more interested in the picture than in breakfast food. Pictures for children to color or cut out, games printed on a package, or a small gift inside a box also motivate many children to buy products—or to ask their parents to buy for them.

Some packages suggest that a buyer will get something for nothing. Food products sold in reusable containers are examples of this. Although a similar product in plain container might cost less, people often prefer to buy the product in a reusable glass or dish, because they believe the container is free. However, the cost of the container is added to the cost of the product.

The size of a package also motivates a buyer. Maybe the package has“Economy Size”or“Family Size”printed on it. This suggests that the larger size has the most product for the least money. But that is not always true. To find it out, a buyer has to know how the product is sold and the price of the basic unit.

The information on the package should provide some answers. But the important thing for any buyer to remember is that a package is often an advertisement. The words and pictures do not tell the whole story. Only the product inside can do that.

6.“A buyer will get something for nothing”in paragraph 2 may probably mean ________.

A. a buyer will not get what he pays for

B. a buyer will get more than what he pays for

C. a buyer will get something useful free of charge

D. a buyer will get more but pay less

7. From the pasage we know the buyer pays more attention to ________.

A. the size of a container

B. a container with attractive picture

C. a well-designed container

D. a plain container with low cost

8. What suggestion does the writer give in the passage?

A. It’s not good to buy the product which is sold in a glass or dish.

B. The quality of a container has nothing to do with the quality of the product. buy what he needs most rather than a well-designed e package means that it is rather economic. to an adult, the form is far more important than the written on the package are thought to be an
