It is usually agreed that a German, Carl Benz, built the first motor car in 1885.
It was actually a tricycle with a petrol motor at the rear. Soon, members of the Royal family and other wealthy people took up motoring as a sport. Many of the early cars had two seats.
There were no petrol pumps and few garages, so every driver had to be his own engineer for the frequent breakdowns.
By 1905, cars began to look like cars of today, with headlamps, windscreen, rubber tyres and number plates.
Henry Ford’s Model T introduced in America in 1909 was cheaper because it was made on the assembly line.
It brought cars closer towards the reach of ordinary people. With the popularity of the car, registration became a must in 1903 with the Motor Car Act. Competency tests were introduced in 1935.
Today, the legal driving age for a car in the UK is 17. You are not allowed to drive a car unsupervised until you have passed a driving test.
In 1958, Britain celebrated the opening of its first motorway— the Preston Bypass.
Until then, no one really understood what a motorway was, not even the laborers who were building it.
The bypass hailed a new era in motor travel and was greeted with excitement and optimism.
Service stations came with the motorway and the legend of the transport cafe was born. Of course, the service station has diversified greatly. But whether it’s an English-cooked breakfast or a coffee and a sandwich, one thing has remained the same: the prices.
22. What does the speaker say about the first motor car?
23. What was the problem with the early cars in Britain?
24. Why did Henry Ford’s Model T cars cost less?
25. What do we learn about the Preston Bypass?
选项
A、They consumed lots of petrol.
B、They took two passengers only.
C、They were difficult to drive.
D、They often broke down.
答案
D
解析
细节推断题。短文介绍了英国早期汽车的基本情况:大多有两个座位;没有加油泵;修理厂很少,驾驶人只能自己修理经常出现的各种故障。由此可知,早期的汽车经常出故障。
