Many people believe Henry Ford invented the automobile (汽车)．But Henry Ford did not start to build his first car until 1896.That was eleven years after two Germans developed the world's first automobile.Many people believe Henry Ford invented the production line that moved a car's parts to the worker，instead of making the worker move to the parts.That is not true，either.Many factory owners used methods of this kind before Ford.What Henry Ford did was to use other people's ideas and make them better.And he made the whole factory a moving production line.In the early days of the automobile，almost every car maker raced his cars.It was the best way of gaining public notice.Henry Ford decided to build a racing car.Ford's most famous race was his first one.It was also the last race in which he drove the car himself.The race was in 1901，at a field near Detroit.All of the most famous cars had entered, but only two were left：the Winton and Ford's.The Winton was famous for its speed.Most people thought the race was over before it began.The Winton took an early lead.But halfway through the race, it began to lose power.Ford started to gain.And near the end of the race, he took the lead.Ford won the race and defeated the Winton.His name appeared in newspapers and he became well-known all over the United States.Within weeks of the race, Henry Ford formed a new automobile company.In 1903, a doctor in Detroit bought the first car from the company.That_sale was the beginning of Henry Ford's dream.Ford said: “I will build a motor car for the great mass of people.It will be large enough for the family, but small enough for one person to operate and care for.It will be built of the best materials.It will be built by the best men to be employed.And it will be built with the simplest plans that modern engineering can produce.It will be so low in price that no man making good money will be unable to own one.”The Model T was a car of that kind.It only cost $850.It was a simple machine that drivers could depend on.Doctors bought the Model T．So did farmers.Even criminals. They considered it the fastest and surest form of transportation.Americans loved the Model T．They wrote stories and songs about it.Thousands of Model T's were built in the first few years.本文记叙了亨利福特充分利用别人的想法，生产出了自己的汽车，形成了自己的生产流水线。
通过赛车比赛，使公众关注到自己的汽车，然后建立了自己的汽车公司，为所有的普通顾客生产汽车。

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A.B.C和D项中，选出最佳选项。
We're all connected. You can send an e-mail message to a friend, and your friend can pass iton to one of his or her friends, and that friend can do the same, continuing the chain. Eventually,your message could reach just about anyone in the world, and it might take only five to sevene-mails for the message to get there.Scientists recently tested that idea in a study involving 24,000 people. Participants had to try to get a message forwarded to one of 18 randomly chosen people. Each participant started by sending one e-mail to someone they knew. Recipients could then forward the e-mail once to someone they knew, and so on.Targets, who were randomly assigned by researchers from Columbia University in New York, lived in 13 countries. They included an Australian police officer, a Norwegian veterinarian, and a college professor.Out of 24,000 chains, only 384 reached their goal. The rest petered out, usually because one of the recipients was either too busy to forward the message or thought it was junk mail.The links that reached their goal made it in an average of 4.05 e-mails. Based on the lengths of the failed chains, the researchers estimated that two strangers could generally make contact in five to seven e-mails.The most successful chains relied on casual acquaintances rather than close friends. That's because your close friends know each other whereas your acquaintances tend to know people you don't know. The phenomenon, known as the strength of weak ties, explains why people tend to get jobs through people they know casually but aren't that close to.So, start networking and instant messaging now. As they say in show business: It's all about who you know.6. If you want to get into touch with a stranger in the world, how many e-mails might it take forthe message to reach him/her?A. 5 to 7B. 18C. 13D. 3847. Which of the following is Not true about the test?A. 24,000 people took part in the study and sent e-mails to people they knew.B. The 18 targets were chosen by chance.C. About 98.4% of the mails didn’t reach their goal because some people were toobusy or they mistook the message for junk mail.D. The targets come from 13 countries, such as Australia, Norway and New York.8. What does the word “estimate” mean in the passage?A. make sureB. supposeC. think overD. imagine9. Why do people tend to get jobs more easily through casual acquaintances than close friends?A. Because close friends don’t talk with each other so much.B. Because casual acquaintances can help you know more people and make more friends.C. Because close friends don’t spend so much time gathering together.D. Because casual acquaintances are kinder and more willing to help others.10. In which part of a newspaper will readers read this passage?A. CultureB.EntertainmentC. Information andTechnologyD. Health[全解全析]本文主要讲述电子邮件将人们的联系拉近。

[学以致用]When I was growing up in the suburbs of New York，our first local Earth Daywas organized around a drive to a town field where families were urged to dump items from their basements for recycling rather than tossing them in the trash.It wasan eye-opening concept for a kid in 1970.But as an environmental reporter，I have come to dread(非常害怕)the large amount of deals and promotions that arrive via e-mail or in my office or home mailbox on Earth Day.Like Valentine's Day，Earth Day has become a huge marketing opportunity —aparadoxical(矛盾的)way to promote consumption and sell stuff.In fact，Earth Day is such a good sales hook that so-me shops，like Target，have expanded Earth Day into Earth Month.There isn't time to give you a full rundown of the Earth Day shopping opportunities I was alerted to this past week.They included deals on buying bottled water and earth-f riendly diaper wipes.My award for the silliest promotion：a plan to gift 25 of the most environmentally conscious stars unique，useful and fabulous “green” products and services，including skin care products，cat litter，cheesecake and artwork.My guess is most of the stuff will end up in celebrities' garbage.What's the author's attitude towards the deals promotions on Earth Day?A．Objective. B．Optimistic.C．Supportive. D．Critical.答案D[考查观点态度。

2020高考英语阅读理解一轮自选训练及参考答案【2020高考训练题】阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C、D）中，选出最佳选项。
I knew a man, a very tall, gentle man, for several years before I found out that he visited prisoners in our local prison, week in and week out for decades. He would write letters for them, carry messages, fetch clothing or books. But mainly he just offered himself. He did not lecture to them, didn’t pick and choose between those he liked and disliked and didn’t look for any return on his kindness. All that mattered was that they were in trouble.Why did he spend time with prisoners when he could have been playing golf or watching TV? “I go in case everyone else has given up on them,” he told me once. “I’ll never give up.”Never giving up is a quality we honor in athletes, in soldiers, in survivors of disasters, in patients recovering from severe injuries. If you struggle bravely against strong opponents（对手）, you are likely to end up on the evening news. But in less flashy, less newsworthy forms, devotion to a task, or a person, or an occupation shows up in countless lives all around us.It shows up in parents who will not quit loving their daughter even after she dyes her hair purple, tattoos （纹身）her belly and runs off with a rock band. It shows ill couples who choose to mend their marriages instead of ending it. It shows up in volunteers at the hospital or library, it shows up in unsung people everywhere who do their job well, not because the boss is watching or because they are paid large amounts of money but because they know their work matters.1. Why did the man visit the prisoners every week _______.A. That’s his jobs.B. He wanted to teach them a lesson.C. He was a postman.D. He wanted to show care and offer help.2. From the third paragraph, we can infer that when never giving up is mentioned, people are likelyto relate it to ________.A. unknown peopleB. people facing challengesC. the divorced couplesD. the hospital volunteers3. What quality does the author value most according to the text?A. The courage to fight against strong opponents.B. The kindness of your friends and family members.C. The faithfulness of unsung people around us.D. The strong will of the survivors of disasters.4. The author mentions the story of the gentleman in order to ________.A. introduce the themeB. state a factC. criticize the prisonersD. cover a story本文通过讲述一位绅士每周去探望囚犯的故事引入话题谈及永不言弃的精神时，人们更可能联想到面对挑战的人们，比如文中所列举的运动员、士兵、灾难中的幸存者等等。
