五.聽短文回答問題

剛才那個練習(xí)你都作對了嗎? 現(xiàn)在我們來作今天的聽力測驗.今天老師要念的 文章是說汽車在美國變得很普遍, 人們以汽車為主要交通工具, 上班, 上街, 去 旅行都要靠汽車.

現(xiàn)在請你注意聽, 等一會兒老師會根據(jù)這段文章問你幾個問題.

Perhaps more than any other people, Americans have come to depend on their cars.

The family car has been a common thing since the early 20th century, and it has changed American life. Many people have moved outside of the large cities to the suburbs.

Some Americans spend two hours a day or more in their cars going to work and home again. Cars have become the means of transportation for most Americans going shopping, and even going on vacations.

Americans used to like big cars, and gasoline used to be very inexpensive. Recently, however, the cost of gasoline has increased, smaller cars have become more common.

Also foreign cars have become very common. Americans have bought large numbers of Japanese and German cars. They have bought cars from several other countries as well.
