英语试卷真题解析（部分）

Passage two
【点评】本文属于社会现象介绍类文章，阅读难度不大。文章后的题 目中有两个排除题，因此需要考生在把握全文
主旨的同时，注意问题涉及的一些细节。

The automobile has given people incredible freedom of movement. It enables them to decide where they want to go and
when. The automobile influences where people live and work and how they spend their leisure time. The striking changes in
people’s lives cre
ated by the automobile began in the United States and have since spread across much of the globe, especially
in developed countries. But even in developing nations, the automobile is increasingly reshaping patterns of living.
When the first automobiles were produced, only the
well-to-do
could afford them. Soon, however, prices declined as
production increased in response to the growing demand. The lower prices put the automobile within reach of more and more
Americans.
W
ell-off
urban
residents
found
car
ownership
cheaper
than
keeping
a
horse
and
carriage.
The
growth
in
car
ownership
led
to
the
building
of
more
and
better
roads,
which
further
increased
travel
throughout
the
nation.
Before
the
development
of
automobiles,
urban
workers
walked,
bicycled,
or
rode
horse-drawn
vehicles
to
their
jobs.
But
as
roads
improved and car ownership expanded, workers no longer had to live near their jobs.
During the 1920s, people in U.S. cities increasingly moved to the suburbs because of the freedom provided to the workers
by automobile ownership. By the mid-1950s, even factories had begun to relocate in the suburbs. Wherever people have easy
access to automobiles, cars play a major role in social life and the choice of recreational activities. People find it fun to hop in
the car and visit friends and relatives, whether the drive takes a few minutes, hours, or days. Trips by automobile help make it
easy to organize picnics, family reunions, and other get- togethers. Trips by automobile to such places as theme parks, national
parks, and mountain and seashore resorts are a favorite type of vacation for many people.

A. The freedom to go anywhere in the world.
B. The changed way of entertaining ourselves in life.
C. The growth of more and better roads.
