福建师范大学网络与继续教育学院 《大学英语（2）》期末考试A卷 一、阅读：20% (所有答案必须填在答卷表格里,否则不得分) ( 1 ) Cars are important in the United States. 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 has 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 States a nation on wheels. And it helped make the United States what it is today. There are three main reasons the car became 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 any place 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 United States 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. 1. When do most Americans feel they are poor? A A. When they don’t have a car. B. When they live in a huge country. C. When they don’t use planes. D. When they have a car. 一、阅读：20% （每小题2分） 1 A 二、交际用语20%（每小题2分） 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 2 C 3 D 4 C 5 C 6 A 7 A 8 D 9 B 10 C ▆ 大学英语（2）A 试卷 共4页（第1页） 选择题答案写在选择题答题区内，其它各题在答案区域内作答，超出黑色边框区域的答案无效！ ▆
