    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.

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.

选项 A、affects
B、effect
C、affected
D、affect

答案D

解析 读懂上下文可知,此处需填一个动词,表示“影响”的意思。多数初学者对于英文中affect和effect的区别认识不甚清楚。affect为动词,表示“影响”等意;而effect则一般为名词,表示“作用、效果”等意。另外,be going to后面应接动词原形。故affects和affected都不对。effect作为名词的用法通常为to have an effect on something或to have some effects on something等。
