单选题Directions:After reading the following passage, you will
find 5 questions or unfinished statements, numbered 36 through 40. For each
question or statement there are 4 choices marked A,B, C and D. You
should make the correct choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer
Sheet with a single line through the centre.
The first step in wise car care and service is to buy a car that is in perfect
condition. Look the car over carefully to make sure that it doesn't have any
built-in flaws (内在的瑕疵) or service headaches. Be sure you know how to operate
your car. Sit in the driver's seat and have the salesman explain how to start
the car. Make sure you learn the location of all the controls.
Check the outside of the car. Open and close the car doors two or three times.
Do the doors fit the frames? Do they close completely? Roll the windows up and
down. Do they work smoothly and close all the way? Have the salesman try all the
lights and signals while you stand outside the car to make sure they
work. Start the engine and listen for any noise. The car should
run smoothly after it has warmed up. All these simple things should be checked
before you leave the shop. Next, road-test the car. It should
speed up without jerking (颠簸), and the brake (刹车) should work evenly and
quickly. If the car fails to perform on any of these points, do
not take it. Insist that the faults be fixed before you accept it.
