I never used to go anywhere without the car. I regarded it as an essential part of myself. But when the price of gas doubled in this year, I decided not to use the car except when absolutely necessary. For example, I always used to take the car when I went to fetch the papers on Sunday mornings, although our newsagent’s is only 10 minutes’ walk away. Now I go on foot.
I tell myself that I’m not only saving the gas but keeping fit at the same time. It’s all a question of habit really. I’m sure you can get used to anything if you try and already feel that I rely on the car less than I used to.
Besides, now that we live in the suburbs, I can walk down the road and catch a bus to the office or to any part of the town. We used to live in the country about 15 miles from town and then I would frequently
drive to and fro twice in one day. That meant I would use 15 gallons of oil or more in a week. Now I only need half that amount.
The trouble is that I am also getting used to the gas prices. They don’t seem so high to me any more. Perhaps it is easier to get used to expensive gas than it is to doing without the car. 26. When the prices of gas doubled in this year, the author decided ____________.
A. to go everywhere without a car
B. only to take the car to fetch the papers C. to use the car when he had to D. to go on foot everywhere
27. In the sentence “It’s all a question of habit really,” the pronoun “It” refers to ____________. A. saving the gas B. keeping fit
C. not only saving the gas but keeping fit at the same time D. not relying too much on the car
28. To go to the newsagent’s to get his newspaper, the author ____________.
A. used to walk for 10 minutes B. used to drive his car
C. walked down the road to the office D. walked for 10 minutes to keep fit
29. We know from the passage that the author ____________.
A. is getting used to living in the country about 15 miles from town B. used to go to and come back from town twice a day by car
C. usually buys 15 gallons of oil or more in a week D. only spends half of the amount of money on gas now
30. The last sentence of the passage suggests that ____________. A. the author still can not get used to doing without the car B. the author feels that the high price of gas is a great problem C. it is easy to use gas at high prices D. the price of gas is not high any more 短文理解2
I used to think education was the most important thing in my life. Recently my attitude has begun to change, although I still hold that it is essential for everyone in the world today. As a top junior student in my college, I was asked to make a speech on how to learn English well. Standing in front of the audience facing so many freshmen, I was trembling. I didn’t remember any word that I had prepared. I ran out of the conference room without finishing my speech, leaving everyone puzzled. I cried that night in my room, feeling that I was a loser. Studying takes so much of my time that I feel unable to really develop myself. I am just storing knowledge; yet fail to communicate with others. I have received many awards in school, but they don’t necessarily reflect anything about me. I don’t know how to socialize. When I leave school I fear I will be of no use to society. I realize that everyone has her or his own way of living. I want to change my lifestyle. Of course I will keep studying. Yet I plan to look for a part time job, which might turn out to be a good chance to get to know society. I still believe that working my hardest does make me happy. I will still stay on in college, but I will not allow it to shelter me from the real world.
31. From this passage, we know that the author ____________. A. does not think education is the most important thing in her life any more
B. thinks that communication with other people is more important than education
C. realizes that it is more important to really develop oneself than just to store knowledge
