问题     Cars are【21】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【22】He probably didn’t know how much the car was going to【23】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 the car【24】so popular in the United States. First of all, the country is a huge one and Americans like to move around in it. The car provides【25】comfortable and cheapest form of all the means of transportation. With a car people can go to any place without spending a lot of money.
    The second reason cars are popular is the fact that the United States has never really【26】an efficient and inexpensive form of public transportation. Long-distance trains have never been as common in the United States as they are in other parts of the world. Nowadays there is a good system of air service【27】by planes. But it is too expensive to be used frequently.
    The third reason is the most important one, though.  The American spirit of independence is【28】really made cars popular. Americans don’t like to wait for a bus, or a train or even a plane.

选项 A、freedom
B、democracy
C、the freedom
D、the democracy

答案C

解析 这是一道逻辑思维题。做此类填空题,务必要参考上句,从中寻找空白处所需填充的字或词。读懂全句可知该句的意思为“汽车给予了他们计划自己时间的自由,而这一 _____ 正是美国人最为需要的。”句中的空白处所要填的正是上句中谈到的the freedom。容易错选A项freedom。抽象名词(如freedom)如后接限定性的定语从句,则应加定冠词the。
