一、英语阅读理解专项练习试卷

1．阅读理解

Many cars in advertisements are red, blue or green but almost 75 percent of new cars sold are

black, white, silver or grey.

A survey shows people prefer the car colors that don't show dirt such as grey. That means the

owners can wash their cars less, saving money. Besides, some areas that are short of water do not

allow people to wash their cars often.

According to another survey, white cars are often sold more than cars of other colors. In China,

car buyers say white makes a small car look bigger. Car buyers in other countries also like white.

And the research also suggests that there is a lower risk of accidents during the day for white cars

compared with darker ones. People also think the temperature inside white cars is lower than

that in cars of other colors.

At present, every year about 11 percent of cars sold are red and 8 percent are blue. Green has

become less popular. In the mid 1990s, green was the most popular color in many places of the

world. But today, green cars are hard to find.

let owners change their car's paint color anytime.

That cold January night, I was growing sick of my life in San Francisco. There I was, walking

home at one in the morning after a tiring practice at the theatre. With opening night only a week

away, I was still learning my lines. I was having trouble dealing with my part-time job at the bank

As I walked down empty streets under tall buildings, I felt very small and cold. I began running,

both to keep warm and to keep away from any possible robbers (抢劫犯). Very few people were

still out except a few sad-looking homeless people under blankets.

About a block from my apartment (公寓房间), I heard a sound behind me. I turned quickly, half

expecting to see someone with a knife or a gun. The street was empty. All I saw was a shining

street-light. Still, the noise had made me nervous, so I started to run faster. Not until I reached my

apartment building and unlocked the door did I realize what the noise had been. It had been my

wallet falling to the street.

Suddenly I wasn't cold or tired any more, and I ran out of the door and back to where I'd heard

the noise. Although I searched the street anxiously for fifteen minutes, my wallet was nowhere to

be found.

Just as I was about to give up the search, I heard the garbage truck (垃圾车) pull up to the
