①The past year，which is fast becoming just a memory，is the year I drove through the car wash at fifty miles an hour．At least，it felt like fifty miles an hour．
②That day I followed the attendant's instructions，drove to one of those do-it-yourself car washes．I forgot that my car was a bit moody．I'd been meaning to have it checked，but it didn't happen often enough to rush me to the garage．Anyway，then unexpectedly，suddenly we picked up speed before the astonished eyes of the attendant．The car shot through the wash cycle，the wax（蜡）cycle，and the dry cycle at a ridiculous rate of speed，and then aimed for the street at the end of the tunnel．We shot through the tunnel with what seemed like the speed of sound and rushed out into the street while I was relieved to see that no cars were approaching．The water and the wax had not yet dried-the car looked as if it had caught some terrible disease．
③"What happened then？"Bobbie asked after I had told my family the story at an evening meal．
④"Nothing，"I said．
⑤"Didn't you go back to the car wash？"
⑥"Of course not，"I replied．
⑦"I don't blame you，"Peter said．"They might have arrested you for speeding in a car wash．"
⑧We all laughed．It was a nice moment．We were relaxing after the dishes had been taken away，the pleasant smell of coffee filling the air．We had been talking about the past year and，without pausing to think of the possible consequences，I had told them about my experience with the car wash．
⑨The story delighted the children-who are no longer children．Peter and Bobbie are married，in fact，and I realized I had given them a sort of philosophy of life for the future．I could imagine them，years from now，when they gather together and one of them will say，"Remember the time Dad drove through that car wash …？"
⑩Other things happened last year，too，because each year has its events，the good and the bad，the sweet and the sorrowful，the ordinary and the terrific．The milestones and the small incidents stand side by side，fundamentally different in quality or kind，perhaps，but making a sweet kind of harmony．

C．A lesson on driving cars
D．A car accident at a car wash．
【答案】：ADB

2．D 细节理解题，由第八段We were relaxing after the dishes had been taken away，the pleasant smell of coffee filling the air．We had been talking about the past year and，without pausing to think of the possible consequences，I had told them about my experience with the car wash．可知这一段提到了谈话的主题，时间及家庭谈话的气氛，故选D．
3．B 主旨大意题，本文讲述的是作者回忆过去一年发生的事，故选B．
(C)
When nature is left alone,a balance is reached among the animals and plants living in one area.But when man starts his work in nature,the balance is liked to be destroyed.He grows a crop and takes it away to eat,then there are no dead leaves to fall on the ground ,holding water while it sinks into the surface,or decaying(腐烂)and adding humus(腐殖质)to the soil.Unless a farmer acts with knowledge and skill,he is therefore most likely to make the land poorer.To make the place of the useful matter in the crops that he removes,he uses some kind of fertilizer.Chemical fertilizers are of great help,but the waste products of animals and decaying remains of plants should also be put on the land.In some place,it is a habit to burn waste matcrial lying about.But such burning destroys the useful matter in the dead plants.Although the ashes that are left are valuable when put on the land,a better practice is to bury the waste so that it decays and increases the humus in the soil.
In the past,when the world population was much lower than it is now,a man had little difficulty in ordinary times in growing the food that was needed.When a field had been used some years and had become tired,the farmer could move to another place.The tired land then slowly recovered.Gradually grasses and other plants would appear on it and its productive power would slowly return to normal through their decay.But nature,left alone,would take a long time to bring back the land to its former state,the length of time required would depend on local conditions,but it might well be ten years.
It is a bad practice to grow the same crop in a field year after year.If the crop is changed,the land will suffer less because it is treated and used in a different way.Different plants have different effects on the soil.Therefore,a change of crop will do less harm than the growing of the same crop year after year and a regular change to grass will do good to the soil.Much will therefore be gained if different crops are grown one after another,a method known as the rotation(轮作)of crops.
1.According to the passage,the land will become poorer .
A.if all the dead leaves are cleared away
B.if the humus is increased after the harvest
C.If dead leaves decay in the soil by themselves
D.If waste plant material lying about is buried
2.We can learn from the passage that the tired land has gradually recovered .
A.when grasses and other plants appear again
B.When the treatment is given by nature alone
C.After new grasses and other plants have decayed again
D.After nature has been left alone for several months
3.A modern farmer can hardly move to another place as he did before because .
A.the productive power of new field isn’t higher than that of an old one
B.There are few free fields left for him to do farming
C.It takes a farmer more than ten years to start farming in a a new field
D.There will be too many grasses in a nee field to grow crops
4.it is most likely that the author will go on to in the paragraph following the passage above.
A.introduce other methods of planting crops
B.Deal with how to prevent land getting tired
C.Start another topic of how to make use of land
D.Explain what the rotation of crops is
【答案】：ACBD

2.C 根据Gradually grasses and other plants would appear on it and its productive power would slowly return to normal through their decay.可知C正确。
3.B根据In the past,when the world population was much lower than it is now,a man had little difficulty in ordinary times in growing the food that was needed.可知B正确。
4.D 根据最后一段It is a bad practice to grow the same crop in a field year after year.If the crop is changed,the land will suffer less because it is treated and used in a different way.Different plants have different effects on the soil.Therefore,a change of crop will do less harm than the growing of the same crop year after year and a regular change to grass will do good to the soil.Much will therefore be gained if different crops are grown one after another,a method known as the rotation(轮作)of crops.可知D正确。
