8.Your next car could have two seats,three wheels-two in front and one in the back and a top speed of more than 100miles per hour.Elio Motors plans to make such a tiny car named the Elio.Its two seats sit front and back instead of side by side.The driver is positioned in the center with the passenger directly behind.The starting price for the car is just﹩6,800.It has only one door,on the left side,which cuts a few hundred dollars off the manufacturing costs.Having three wheels also makes it cheaper.It has air conditioning,power windows and door locks and an AM/FM radio.More features can be ordered through Elio's long list of suppliers.Elio will also sell the cars directly through its own stores and not through franchised dealers (特约经销商).
Paul Elio dreamed as a kid that he would one day own a car company called Elio Motors.In 2008,tired of high gas prices,he started working on a car that burns gas in a more effective way.Equally important to him was creating U.S.manufacturing jobs and making the car inexpensive enough to attract buyers who might otherwise be stuck in their old,unreliable cars."Whatever matters to you,this can move the needle on it,"he said.
Already,more than 27,000people have reserved one.Paul hopes to make 250,000cars a year by 2016.So far,reservation holders are those who will use the Elio as a second car or third car for work.Finally,though,he believes the car will interest high school and college students as well as used-car drivers who want something newer and more reliable.
24.Which of the following shows the design of the Elio?C
25.Paragraph 2shows that the ElioA.
A.is sold at affordable prices
B.will be available in most stores
C.has a fixed temperature
D.does no harm to the environment
26.The underlined words"move the needle"in Paragraph 3probably mean"D".
A.take a chance
B.stand in the way
C.break into pieces
D.make a difference
27.What would be the best title for the text?B
A.The history of Elio Motors
B.Cool and practical vehicle
C.Paul Elio:a kid with big dreams
D.What car to choose:new or used?
分析 本文主要介绍了一款只有三个轮子和两个座椅的机动车,这样一辆造型奇特的车究竟如何呢?

24.C.细节理解题.由第一段中的two seats,three wheels-two in front and one in the back 和 Its two seats sit front and back可知,应选C项.
25.A.细节理解题.由该段中的the car is just $ 6.800 可知,Elio 是一款便 宜的小汽车,故选A项.
26.D.词义猜测题.Paul认为Elio这款 车经济节油、价格低廉,而且还会带 来就业机会,所以move the needle在 此应该是表示带来可见的变化,故选 D项.
27.B.标题归纳题.本文主要介绍了一款只有三个轮子和两个座椅的机动车,这样一辆造型奇特的车究竟如何呢?所以文章标题用Cool and practical vehicle最恰当.
