model was the Silver Ghost. In 1907, a Silver Ghost broke the | 81. |
world’s record by drive 14,371 miles without breaking down | 82. |
once. After the drive, it was cost just over £ 2 to put the car | 83. |
back into perfect condition. This is not surprising that the Silver | 84. |
Ghost was regarded “the best car in the world”. | 85. |

78.正确。
79. but---and。表示意思的并列,而不是转折。
80. go----went。根据整篇文章,说明的是过去的事情。
81. model----models。在“one of+名词”这一个结构中,名词要用复数形式。表示“……之一”。
82. drive----driving。在介词by后要用v-ing形式。
83.去掉was。cost为不及物动词,没有被动语态。
84.This----It。It在这里为形式主语。
85. regarded后加as。短语be regarded as的意思为“被……认为”。
The famous car Rolls-Royce has been largely hand-made and always one of the most expensive cars on the market.
In fact, Rolls-Royce is made up of two men’s names, Charles S. Rolls and Henry Royce. They came from very different backgrounds, received very different educations and when they met; their careers were going in very different directions.
In 1903, Royce bought a second-hand France Decauville car. He found the car unreliable, difficult to start and overheated. Royce decided he could do better himself and set about building two-cylinder (双杠发动机) car of his own design. The first of these, built almost completely by Royce himself, was a success in almost every way: it started easily, ran smoothly and was very reliable. It never failed to impress everyone who saw it rode in the car, including Rolls.
While he was a university student at Cambridge, Rolls acquired a French Peugeot. It was the first automobile seen at Cambridge and by the time Rolls finished his studies, he was probably the most skilled driver in Britain. In 1902, Rolls went into the business of selling cars and became a leading automobile distributor. He was looking for a British car to market when he was told that Henry Royce had designed and built a two-cylinder automobile.
In 1904, Royce and Rolls joined together to build and sell motor car. They combined their talents—Royce the engineer and Rolls the salesman and businessman.
And, just two years later, the partnership produced the Rolls-Royce Silver Ghost, a milestone car acclaimed (盛赞) by many by the time as the “ best in the world”. Over the years the automaker built a legendary reputation.
