23 Paragraph 1
1 Ford1’s great strength was the manufacturing process--not invention.Long before he started a car company, he was a worker, known for picking up pieces of metal and wire and turning them into machines.He started putting cars together in 1 891 Although it was by no means the first popular automobile3,the Model T showed the world just how creative Ford was at combining technology and market.
F.分析:注意到该段落中没有可以典型的中心词汇,这样利用段落开头和结尾的句子,发现段落段首句和段尾句都是观点句,借助这两句中的特征词汇great strength和 creative作为答案线索,这样判断F正确。
提示:在进行句意搜索的时候注意借助句子主干结构和句子中的特征词汇进行跳读。注意利用观点句中的特征词(往往是形容词,起修饰作用的副词或核心名词,核心动词)判断答案。
A Ford’s Opponents
B The Assembly Line
C Ford’S Great Dream
D The Establishment of the Company
E Ford’S Biggest Contribution
24 Paragraph 2
2 The company’s assembly line alone threw America’s Industrial Revolution into overdrive (高速运转).Instead of having workers put together the entire car, Ford’s friends, who were great toolmakers from Scotland,organized teams that added parts to each Model T as it moved down a line.By the time Ford’s Highland4 Park plant was humming(嗡嗡作响)along in 1914,the world’s first automatic conveyor belt could turn out a car every 93 minutes.
B.分析:段首句就是观点句,而且句子中提到了Assembly Line,在段落的末尾句子出现的句子大意上也是在对装配线所带来的生产效果进行描述,所以判断B是答案。
Along: adv. 向前;作为伙伴, 随身; prep.顺着;
walk along the path.顺着小路走
We drove along, admiring the view.我们一边开车,一边观赏风景。
Bring your friend along.带你的朋友一起来
Luckily, I had my camera along. 很幸运,我随身带着照相机。
Turn out: v. 关掉, 生产, 制造, 证实发觉是
turn out the lights.关掉了灯
an assembly line turning out cars.生产小汽车的流水线
The rookie turned out to be the best hitter on the team.新手证明是队里最出色的击球员
