问题     Cars are an important part of life 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 change 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 why the car became so popular in the United States. First of all, the country is a big one and Americans like to move around it. The car makes the travel the most comfortable and cheapest. With a car people can go to any place without spending a lot of money.
    The second reason why cars are popular is the fact that the United States never really developed a practical and cheap public travel system. Long-distance trains have never been as common in the United States as they are in other parts of the world. Now there is a good system of air service provided by planes. But it is too expensive to be used often.
    The third reason is the most important one, though. The American spirit of independence is what really made cars popular. Americans don’t like waiting for a bus, or a train or even a plane. They don’t like to have to follow an exact timetable. A car gives them the freedom to plan their own time. And this is the freedom that Americans want most to have.
    Less oil has caused a big problem for Americans. But the answer will not be a bigger system of public transportation. The real answer will have to be a new kind of car, one that does not use so much oil.
Which of the following statements is TRUE?
选项 A、In the United States only the rich own cars.
B、In the United States all the poor have no cars.
C、When an American has a car, he will never be poor.
D、An American will feel poor unless he has a car.
答案D
解析 事实细节题。根据第一段最后两句“Without a car，most people fell that they arc poor. And even if a person is poor，he doesn’t feel really poor when he has a car.”可知，如果没有一辆小汽车，大多数人会觉得自己贫穷，而一个人即使很穷，但如果有了小汽车，他也不会觉得自己真的穷，即一个美国人除非有一辆小汽车，否则会觉得自己贫穷。故选D。
