When Dave was 18， he bought an secondhand car for＄200 so that he could travel to work more       than by bus. It worked quite well for years， but then it got so old， and it cost him      much in repairs that he decided that he had better      it.

He asked all his friends to see if anyone wanted to buy a cheap car， but they all knew that it was falling to pieces， so      of them wanted to buy it. Dave's friend Sam saw that he was worried one evening， and said， “What's      ， Dave?”

Dave told him， and Sam answered， “Well， what about advertising it in the paper? You may      more for it that way than the cost of the advertisement!” Thinking that Sam's      was right， he put an advertisement in an evening paper， which read “For sale： small car，      very little oil， only two owners. Bargain (成交) at＄50.”

For two days after the advertisement first appeared， there was no       . But then on Saturday evening a man rang up and said he would like to see the car. Dave felt very happy. He asked the man whether ten o'clock the next morning would be      or not. “Fine，” the man said， “and I'll      my wife. We want to go for a ride in it to      it.”

The next morning， at a quarter to ten， Dave parked the car in the square outside his front door， waiting there for the people who had answered his advertisement. Even Dave had to admit(承认) that the car really      like a wreck(残骸).Then， soon after he had got the car as clean      it could be， a police car stopped just behind him and a policeman got out. He looked at Dave's car and then said， “Have you reported this       to us yet， sir?”

【解析】

试题分析：本文讲述了大卫要把自己使用了多年的旧车卖掉的故事。十八岁的时候，大卫用200美元买了部二手车，几年以后，车子的维修费用很高，最终决定把这部车卖掉。因为车很破旧，所以没有人愿意买。后来在朋友的建议下，在报纸上刊登了售车广告，好歹有人愿意购买这辆车，正当他等着购买人到来的时候，却来了一辆警车，车上的人下来问“先生，是您向我们反映这辆车发生了什么事故吗?”

1.easily表达更容易，他买车的主要目的是为了上下班方便。故答案为D。

2.so much…that…，如此多……以至于……，这是一个固定结构。too much不能和that连用，我们经常使用too…to。结合句意可知，答案为A。

3.根据上文修理花费太多，所以就决定卖掉，而且下文也就是围绕卖车而展开的。故答案为C。

4.前面已经提到“it was falling to pieces”车很快要成碎片，所以没有人愿意买。neither主要用于两个人中没有一个，所以在这不合适。故答案为C。

5.“what's up”表示“怎么回事，发生了什么”。故答案为B。

6.“get”表示“得到”，在这儿是表示“你将得到的要比广告花费的多”。答案为C。

7.advice表示“建议”，因为前面有一句“what about advertising it in the newspaper?”这本就是一种建议“在报纸上登广告怎么样?”故答案为B。

8.uses表示“使用”，在这里表示车很省油。答案为A。

9.这里表示没有人来看车。答案为D。

10.suitable表示“合适的”，在这里是问第二天早上十点钟是否合适。答案为B。

11.bring my wife表示把妻子带来。结合句意，答案为C。

12.“test”表示“测试”，买车的人将和妻子一道来测试一下车子。答案为D。

13.

14.这里是一个固定结构“as…as”。结合句意可知，答案为A。

15.表示报告这起“事故”，故答案为C。
