As a result, European automakers produce a wide variety of economical, light weight cars while American automakers tend to build bigger, heavier cars. The price of gasoline has much to do with this. Gasoline is expensive in Europe, so Europeans naturally prefer cars that will go a long way on a small amount of fuel. Other reasons also enter into the big or little car decision. Many Old World cities have very narrow, winding streets. In these cities a small car is more practical and easier to handle than a large one. Some Americans like powerful engine in their cars. They enjoy having roomy cars that are comfortable for large families and long trips. They are prepared to pay higher operating costs to get these advantages. Other Americans, however, have learned to like the small, nimble （敏捷的）cars. Many visitors to Europe during and after World War I discovered that small cars were fun to drive and easy to park in small spaces. They were delighted to learn how far small cars could go on a few gallons of gasoline. In the 1950s many Americans began buying European cars. In 1957, for the first time, the United States imported more cars than it exported. The best seller among these imported cars was an oddlooking but dependable small car from Germany. Americans promptly nicknamed it “the bug”. Today, American car buyers have a wide choice according to their own tastes. There are big cars for people who want elbow room, comfort, and power. And there are small cars, mostly imported but some Americanmade, for people who want easy parking and economical operation. 56. It is implied in this passage that _. A. no one wants to drive a powerful car B. small cars are not expensive to run C. all Americans buy European cars D. Americans dont like roomy cars 57. On the whole, the article tells about _. A. parking cars in America B. the price of gasoline C. the price of roomy cars D. big cars and small cars 58. Which statement does the article lead you to believe? A. Americans like many of the European cars. B. The best-selling car came from Argentin. C. Small cars must be odd-looking for Americans. D. Americans never enjoy having European cars. 59. Which statement seems true according to this passage? A. Americans should travel in Europe. B. People like to choose cars from many makers. C. People just like to buy European cars. D. No one drives in Old World cities. B Tales From Animal Hospital David Grant David Grant has become a familiar face to millions of fans of TV Animal Hospital.

First put forward by the French mathematician Pierre de Fermat in the seventeenth century. The theorem had beaten the finest mathematical minds, including a French woman scientist who made a major advance in working out the problem, and who had to dress like a man in order to be able to study at the Ecole Polytechnique. Through unbelievable detemination Andrew Wiles finally worked out the problem in 1995. An unusual story of human effort over three centuries, Fermats Last Theorem will delight specialists and general readers alike. $ 12.99 Hardback 384 pp Fourth Estate ISBN 1857025210 60.

What is the most likely purpose of writing these three texts? A. To make the books easier to read. B. To show the importance of science. C. To introduce new authors. D. To sell the books. C There are many famous museums throughout the world where people can enjoy art. Washington, D.C. has the National Gallery of Art （国家美术馆）； Paris has the Louvre; London, the British Museum. Florid International University （FIU）in Miami also shows art for people to see. And it does so without a building, or even a wall for its drawings and paintings. FIU has opened what it says is the first computer art museum in the United States. You dont have to visit the University to see the art. You just need a computer linked to a telephone. You can call the telephone number of a University computer and connect your own computer to it. All of the art is stored in the school computer. It is computer art, produced electonically by artists on their own computers. In only a few minutes, your computer can receive and copy all the pictures and drawings. Robert Shostak is director of the new computer museum. He says he started the museum because computer artists had no place to show their work. A computer artist could only record his pictures electronically and send the records, or floppy discs, to others to see on their computers. H
