Question

There are many kinds of cars in the world. My grandfather thinks this is because cars are like their drivers. He says, “Rich people have expensive cars, big people have large cars, and old people drive old cars.” But I don’t agree with him.

My neighbor, Mrs Hill, is 82 years old. She drives only on Tuesday to the bank. She never drives more than 30 kilometers an hour. Do you think Mrs Hill has a very old and small car? No! Her car is new. It’s very large, and it can go 200 kilometers an hour!

My friend Mike is an artist. He paints beautiful pictures with lots of colors. But his car is black. Mrs Bates has a very, very old car. It often has some trouble. Does she drive that kind of car because she is poor? No, she has four restaurants and two million dollars in the bank. My uncle Joe has a very small car. Every Sunday, he drives to the country with his wife, his three children, his mother and his dog.

Now, you have read about my friends and their cars. Do you agree with my grandfather? Maybe you have a car. Does it say something about you?

試題分析：世界有很多的車輛,我的祖父認為這是有不同的消費者造成的.富人開好車,老人開破車.我不這樣認為.82歲的希爾開了一輛新車,喬叔叔開了一輛小車但他的家人卻很多.

考點：有關車輛和車主關系的議論文

點評：此文主要通過實例來反駁祖父的觀點,車的種類和車主的身份有密切關系.答題中，一定要認真分析，注意選項與上下文的關系，與前后單詞的關系。對于一時沒有太大的把握的題可以放到最后再來完成，因為有時答案可以從下文內容體現出來。答完后再通讀一篇文章，看看所選選項能不能是語句通順，語意連貫。
