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 is not told in the passage?
选项 A、Buses, trains and planes are not comfortable.
B、Traveling by car is not expensive.
C、Americans have the spirit of independence.
D、Americans often move from place to place.
答案A
解析 事实细节题。根据第三段最后一句“With a car people can go to any place without spending a lot of money.”可知，开车旅行并不昂贵，所以选项B正确；根据第五段第二句“The American spirit of independence is what rally made cars popular.”可知，美国人的独立精神使得小汽车广受欢迎，所以选项C正确；根据第三段第二句“…the country is a big one and Americans like to move around it.”可知，美国人喜爱四处旅行，所以选项D正确。根据第五段第三句“Americans don’t like waiting for a bus，or a train or even a plane.”可知，美国人不喜欢等公共汽车、火车甚至飞机等公共交通工具，但并未提及这些公共交通工具不舒适。故选A。
