Reading Comprehension (2points ×10=20points) Directions: This part is to test your reading ability. There are 5 tasks for you to fulfill. You should read the reading materials carefully and do the tasks as you are instructed. Passage 1 Directions: After reading the following passage, you will find 5 questions or unfinished statements, numbered 1 to 5. For each question or statement there are 4 choices marked A, B, C and D. Then you should mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center. A car is made up of more than 30,000parts. Each part in a new car is as weak as a baby. So a new car requires proper care and servicing. If you’re unfamiliar with the parts, you have to read through the owner’s instructions carefully. First of all, the brakes (刹车) of your car are important for safety(安全) reasons. Having them checked regularly can reduce the risks of accidents. Another important thing to consider is engine care. Always remember that the life and performance of your car engine depend on the engine oil. Replace the engine oil when recommended. If you feel the engine is very hot especially during summer it is probably because the cooling system doesn’t work well. You’d better get the cooling system serviced before the start of summer. In a word, timely and proper servicing is an important task for car owners. Good servicing can not only extent the life of your newborn baby, but also ensure your safety, and the safety of those who share the road with you. 注意:此题请把选项的大写字母比如A或B填入下面空格中,记住是大写字母,不是小写字母。 1.
