问题    You are seeking a feeling of well-being and " oneness" with the car. Don’t let anybody, car expert or not, tell you which car suits you best. On this one, the ball is entirely in your court. Above all, the right car will feel comfortable and easy to handle. Today’s car makers go to great lengths to make their products pleasurable to drive. Do not buy a car you cannot enjoy.

   【B1】______It is the only way you can make decent decisions about how the car will fit into your life. Some drivers feel they have to test a car "to its limits" but this leaves them none the wiser about how the car behaves in normal motoring.
   【B2】______It is common for buyers of new cars to drive too little: 50% of Ford Escort buyers do not try the car at all before buying. And too many salesmen regard the test drive as a formality. It is not. You need time to get used to the controls, to decide whether a particular seat will give you backache, to judge if the ventilation suits you. If you are trying a used car, it is far more likely to display hidden gremlins on a lengthy test drive.
   Certainly. Any experienced car salesman can reel off dozens of examples of people whose pre-conceptions were completely changed after a test drive.
   【B3】______That way, you will be discouraged from buying a sports car when an estate is what you really need. Unlike the other phases of car purchase (checking the mechanics, negotiating the price) , car expertise is not needed for test driving.
   【B4】______Only on roads you know, will you be able to tell exactly what a car is like, how it copes with bumps, how much effort the steering requires. Yes and no. If the car has the same shape and mechanical specification as the one you are seeking, then the test drive will be valid. If the salesman is simply trying to interest you in a more expensive model, then you should hold out for the car you wanted in the first place, or try another dealer.
   【B5】______Car manufacturers actually require their dealers to have demonstration models just to attract private customers such as you.
Questions 61—65
Complete the passage with the following sentences. There are two extra sentences that you do not need to use.
A. Better to make someone who understands how you will use the car, and will have to travel in it.
B. No. Test driving is an essential part of the car-buying process, not a favour the car salesman graciously grants.
C. It is also important to get a driving license first.
D. Drive at your normal speed.
E. Drive on familiar roads, says Andrew Fraenkel, road test editor of Autocar magazine.
F. Does it matter if I drive a slightly different model from the one I am interested in?
G. Drive for at least half an hour, longer if possible.
【B3】
选项
答案A
解析 第五段填空处的后一句话说，“这样你就不会选择买跑车了”，说明前一句话能够提供原因。而A选项说应当带上一个懂得你开车方式，并且是不得不乘坐你的车的人，使得前后逻辑和因果关系通顺了。故正确答案为A。
