　　Inspecting a used car

　　The scariest part of buying a used car is not being completely sure of what condition it’s in．A car that’s been in a major accident is always a bigger risk，but sellers often try to hide this information．Andrew Bleakley, evaluator-inspector, runs a mobile vehicle inspection service in Montreal．For about$80 he will perform a full, unbiased inspection on a used vehicle．In his 10 years as a professional inspector, Bleakley has seen a lot．He warns, “Watch out for dealer demonstration vehicles which are used．not new．They may have been in a collision．”He adds mat it is not uncommon in Ontario and Quebec especially for unscrupulous sellers to roll back the odometer or to even disengage it．Bleakley has special tools to check for this．

　　Blealdey always recommends hiring an independent technician to inspect the condition of a used car before you buy it．The problem is finding someone qualified to do the inspection，which he says generally doesn’t mean just any mechanic，A thorough mechanical inspection includes checking the compression，all major systems，including the engine，electrical and charging systems，transmission and drive line，fluids，brakes，suspension，and steering．Essential，too，is all inspection of the car’s body and finally a road test．There are，however a few things everyone can do before buying a used car：

　　Do a visual check of the car．Look at the right rear door hinges．If they are very worn．Or the door doesn’t close well，the car may have been used as a taxi．Holes in the roof could mean the car was used for deliveries．

　　Check for oil 1eaks on the pavement．Note that 1eaks are not necessarily a significant problem—it depends on the cause．来源：考试大

　　Don’t assume that new-looking brake and accelerator pedals mean the car hasn’t been driven much．Resellers know people check these details and call buy new Pads for around $6.来源：考试大

　　Copy down the vehicle identification number(VlN), a 17-character combination of numbers and letters，from the vehicle’s dashboard．In Ontario，ask the dealer or seller for the Used Vehicle Information Package．this gives details of previous owners，any outstanding liens on the car, and the fair market value of the vehicle．

A car that’s been in a major accident is always a bigger risk(与most important呼应), but sellers often try to hide this information. 这两个句子说“最担心的是关于汽车的状况”，“是否遇到过大事故是一个更大的风险”，因此判断C是答案。

　　2. All of the following are mentioned as tricks which dishonest second-hand car dealers may play upon their customers except

　　3. “All independent technician” in the first sentence of the second paragraph means

　　A. a technician who checks a car free of charge

　　B. a technician who learned his trade all by himself

　　C. a technician who works for a particular car-dealer

The problem is finding someone qualified to do the inspection, which he says generally doesn’t mean just any mechanic. A thorough mechanical inspection includes…There are, however, a few things everyone can do before buying a used car.以上的句子是说“技师是独立的，有资格的” ，而划线句没有再谈论到技师， 因此判断D是答案。

　　A. be done by a mechanic together with the dealer

　　B. only be done by a qualified mechanic

　　C. be done by the buyer himself来源：考试大

The problem is finding someone qualified to do the inspection, which he says generally doesn’t mean just any mechanic. A thorough mechanical inspection includes…以上句子暗示需要一个机械师，因此判断D是答案。

　　5. According to the passage, from which of the following can be buyer obtain reliable information of the previous owner?

　　A. the vehicle identification number来源：考试大

　　B. the unbiased inspector

　　C. the second hand car inspector

　　D. the used vehicle information package

　　5． D。分析：利用题干中的核心结构reliable information of the previous owner作为答案线索，同时注意被选项中出现的核心/特征结构，这样发现答案相关句：In Ontario, ask the dealer or seller for the Used Vehicle Information Package. This gives details of previous owners, any outstanding liens（留置权） on the car, and the fair market value of the vehicle. 该题的考点在于考察代词This的指代内容：This指代前面的the Used Vehicle Information Package（旧车信息包），所以答案是D。

　　Passage 2

　　Pushbike（自行车） Peril （危险）

　　Low speed bicycle crashes can badly injure--or even kill--children if they fall onto the ends of the handlebars so a team of engineers is redesigning the humble handlebar in a bid to make it safer.

　　Kristy Arbogast, a bioengineer at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia in Pennsylvania, began the project with her colleagues after a study of serious abdominal injuries in children in the past 30 years showed that mol-e than a third were caused by bicycle accidents．”the task was to identify how the injuries occurred and come up with some countermeasures．” she says.

　　By interviewing the children and their parents，Arbogast and her team were able to reconstruct many of the accidents and identified a common mechanism responsible for serious injures. They discovered that most occur when children hit an obstacle at a slow speed，causing them to topple over. To maintain their balance they turn the handlebars through 90degrees——but their momentum forces them into the end of the handlebars The bike then falls over and the other end of the handlebars hits the ground，ramming it into their abdomen.

　　The solution the group came up with is a handgrip fitted with a spring and damping system. The spring absorbs up to 50 per cent of the forces transmitted through the handlebars in an impact，The group hopes to commercialize the device，which should add only a few dollars to the cost of a bike. “But our task has been one of education because up until now, bicycle manufacturer were unaware of the problem，”says Arbogast.

　　The team has also approached the US Consumer Product Safety Commission to try to persuade manufacturers to adopt the new design A decision is expected later this year．

　　4．A． 分析；该题问及从文章中能够推断出什么来，在论述文中往往在文章的开头和/或结尾处传递出文章的中心/观点，因此注意文章结尾(文章开头的语句与被选项都没有关系)：The team has also approached the US consumer Product Safety Commission to try to persuade manufacturers to adopt the new design.（该句表明B错误） A decision is expected later this year. 该句说“试图说服制造商”，因此推测出“说服制造商”不是一件容易的事情。

The spring absorbs up to 50 percent of the forces transmitted through the handlebars in an impact. 这两个句子说“手柄的弹簧能吸收在碰撞中通过把手而传递过来的50%的伤害力”，因此判断B是答案。
