题目列表(包括答案和解析)

The price of gas has been going up. We do not know when it will end. Many people want to know how they can save fuel(燃料). The best way to save fuel is to change driving habits.

The accelerator(加速器), or gas pedal,has a lot to do with how much gas you use.The faster you drive, the more gas you use. Drivers should slow down a bit to save fuel. Driving at a steady speed helps to save much gas you use.Accelerating slowly to get to the speed you want helps save gas, too.

The more you drive your car.the more gas you use.Think about the places you need to go before leaving your home. You should run as many errands(差事) that you need to do as you can in one trip.Always try to pick the shortest route when going somewhere.

Cars that are in good working condition use less fuel. Take care of your car. Make sure the engine is running well and is tuned-up often. Have a mechanic check if something seems wrong.

Tires(轮胎) are important, too. Keep the tires inflated(饱满) properly on a car. It will help the car roll better. If a car's tires are worn, then they should be replaced.

Finally,think about using your car less.Walk or ride a bike if you do not have to go far.Carpool(合伙用车) or take public transportation(公交) when you can.Leaving your car at home really saves gas.

 

59.Which of the following can help save much oil?

A.Drive as fast as you can.

B.Accelerate quickly to get to the speed you want.

C.Drive fast a little now and slowly a little then.

  I have a rule for travel:Never carry a map.I prefer to ask for directions.

  Foreign visitors are often puzzled in Japan because most streets there don’t have names.In Japan, people use landmarks in their directions instead of street names.For example, the Japanese will say to travelers, “Go straight down to the corner.Turn left at the big hotel and go pass a fruit market.The post office is across from the bus stop.”

  In the countryside of the American Midwest, usually there are not many landmarks.There are no mountains, so the land is very flat(平坦的).In many places there are no towns or buildings within miles.Instead of landmarks, people will tell you directions and distance.In Kansas or Iowa, for example, people will say, “Go north two miles.Turn east, and then go another mile.”

  People in Los Angeles, California, have no idea of distance on the map:They measure distance by means of time, not miles.“How far away is the post office?” you ask.“Oh, ” they answer, “It’s about five minutes from here.” you say, “Yes, but how many miles away is it?” They don’t know.

  People in Greece sometimes do not even try to give directions because visitors seldom understand the Greek language.Instead of giving you the direction, a Greek will often say, “Follow me.” Then he’ll lead you through the streets of the city to the post office.

  Sometimes a person doesn’t know the answer to your question.What happens in this situation?A New Yorker might say, “Sorry, I have no idea.”But in Yucatan, Mexico, no one answers, “I don’t know.”People in Yucatan think that “I don’t know” is impolite.They usually give an answer, often a wrong one.A visitor can get very, very lost in Yucatan!

  One thing will help you everywhere-in Japan, in the United States, in Greece, in Mexico, or in any other place.You might not understand a person’s words, but maybe you can understand his body language.He or she will usually turn and then point in the correct direction.Go in that direction, and you may find the post office!
