Many people eventually get round to trading in their first car. But not Mike Harrison. He loves his 1931 black Bentley sports car so much that he’s still driving it – 54 years after be bought it.

Mr Harrison was 20 when he paid £150 (about £3,000 now) for the car after passing his test in 1956. It had already done 85,000 miles and he has since driven it a further 100,000, yet the car still runs like clockwork.

It is now one of only three left in the country and is worth £250,000. Despite its value, Mr Harrison, 74, says he would never sell the car “which has been my best friend and part of my family all my life”.

Mr Harrison courted his wife Jenny in it during the early sixties and it was their family car when children Caroline, now 46, and Ben, 42, came along. Even when he took a job as an advertising executive which came with the company car of his choice, Mr Harrison kept the Bentley.

He said: 'How many people still have their first car these days when everything is so disposable? But it is a real eye-catcher. It has something that modern cars just don't have - style and character. 'I still drive it most days, even though it only does about 15 miles to the gallon!' Petrol was just six shillings (30p) a gallon when Mr Harrison bought the Bentley, which had a top speed of 120mph.

He has spent thousands of pounds on repairs over the years but has kept the bodywork in good condition himself, hand-painting the underneath and spraying the black panels of the bodywork.

For decades the Bentley was a regular sight on the roads near Mr Harrison's home in Hampton Court, Surrey. He now uses it as a runaround after retiring to Whitney-on-Wye, Herefordshire.

Mrs Harrison, 71, said: “It was a nuisance(累贅) keeping it in tip-top order with me helping out with the repairs by passing Mike the spanners the whole time. But I wouldn't have changed any of it --- I feel like a Queen every time I'm in it.”

D. To describe the quality of a black Bentley.

1、答案解析:答案為B。本題為細(xì)節(jié)推理題。由文章第二段第二句話 “It had already done 85,000 miles …” 可知,Mike Harrison 買車的時候,車已經(jīng)跑了85,000 miles,可以推斷, Bentley sports car是二手車。故答案為B。

2、答案解析:答案為A。本題為推理題。由第三段 “Mr Harrison, 74, says he would never sell the car ‘which has been my best friend and part of my family all my life’ ”.和第四段的進(jìn)一步解釋可知,這輛車一直陪伴著他和他的家庭,故答案為A。

3、答案解析:答案為D。本題為文章主旨推理題。通讀全文可知,盡管Mike Harrison 的車現(xiàn)在已經(jīng)速度減慢,需要經(jīng)常修理,但是它見證了Mike Harrison和他的家庭生活,所以這輛車在他們的心中是無價的。故答案為D。

由第三段 “It is now one of only three left in the country and is worth £250,000.”和第六段 “He has spent thousands of pounds on repairs over the years …”可知,車的修理費(fèi)是幾千鎊,但是價值是250,000鎊,故A選項錯誤。 由最后一段最后一句話 “But I wouldn't have changed any of it --- I feel like a Queen every time I'm in it.”可知,這輛車還是在使用,并沒退休,故B選項錯誤。C選項未提及。

4、答案解析:答案為B。本題考查文章的寫作目的,結(jié)合前面的問題可知,全文都是在圍繞Mike Harrison和他的車展開,故答案為B。

【2015·新課標(biāo)全國卷I】閱讀理解B

The freezing Northeast hasn't been a terribly fun place to spend time this winter, so when the chance came for a weekend to Sarasota, Florida, my bags were packed before you could say “sunshine”.I left for the land of warmth and vitamin C(維生素C), thinking of beaches and orange trees.When we touched down to blue skies and warm air, I sent up a small prayer of gratefulness.Swimming pools, wine tasting, and pink sunsets(at normal evening hours, not 4 in the afternoon) filled the weekend, but the best particularly to my taste, dulled by months of cold­weather root vegetables was a 7 a.m.adventure to the Sarasota farmers' market that proved to be more than worth the early wake­up call.

The market, which was founded in 1979, sets up its tents every Saturday from 7:00 am to 1 pm, rain or shine, along North Lemon and State streets.Baskets of perfect red strawberries, the red­painted sides of the Java Dawg coffee truck; and most of all, the tomatoes: amazing, large, soft and round red tomatoes.

Disappointed by many a broken, vine­ripened(蔓上成熟的) promise, I've refused to buy winter tomatoes for years.No matter how attractive they look in the store, once I get them home,they're unfailingly dry, hard, and tasteless.But I homed in, with uncertainty, on one particular table at the Brown's Grove Farm's stand, full of fresh and soft tomatoes the size of my fist.These were the real deal and at that moment, I realized that the best part of Sarasota in winter was going to be eating things that back home in New York.I wouldn't be experiencing again for months.

Delighted as I was by the tomatoes in sight, my happiness deepened when I learned that Brown's Grove Farm is one of the suppliers for Jack Dusty, a newly opened restaurant at the Sarasota Ritz Carlton, where luckily for me.I was planning to have dinner that night.Without even seeing the menu, I knew I'd be ordering every tomato on it.
