高三英语限时练（6）限时：40分钟一、 阅读理解ALast weekend, I said goodbye to another dear old friend. We had 12 fine years together, but our relationship was becoming dysfunctional（不正常的）. Unwanted emissions and serious health problems were the final straw, leaving me with no choice but to make a trip to the knackers（收废汽车者的）yard.I am now car-free for the first time in 20 years, and it feels strange. When I gave up meat, I did so mainly for environmental reasons, and I didnt miss it at all. I would like to say the same about my car, but I cant. It was first and foremost a financial decision: keeping the old car on the road was getting too expensive. But doing the right thing for the wrong reasons is still doing the right thingI now have a chance to rethink how I move myself and my family around, and can try to find a more environmentally friendly means of transport. Going car-free is, I think, a lifestyle change that many of us are going to make over the next few years, as car ownership becomes increasingly unnecessary, expensive and socially unacceptable. However, it is easier said than done. Now my car is gone. I still need to get around. But how? I already cycle to work and use public transport when appropriate. But there are some occasions when a car seems to be the only way. I wont buy one: I have joined a car-share program and will use taxis more often. I will hire a car if I need to drive a long distance. But then I am still travelling in fossil-fuelled cars（燃油汽车）, like when I quit meat and ended up eating more cheese. I fear I may have swapped one environmental problem for another. I am also afraid to think about the ultimate fate of my car. I have just offloaded more than a ton of metal, plastic, rubber, fabric, electronics, oil and petrol that will end up in a landfill. There are millions of similar vehicles in the UK alone that will have to go somewhere. Maybe I am overthinking it. According to Charlie Wilson, a climate scientist at the UKs Tyndall Centre for Climate Change Research, getting rid of a private car is no doubt a positive step to reduce CO2 emissions. He points to research by the OECDs International Transport Forum. “They showed that moving from a private vehicle fleet（车队）to a shared vehicle fleet can greatly cut the number of vehicles you need to deliver the mobility that we need and want. If that vehicle fleet is electrified, you can also bring CO2 emissions close to zero.” So in other words, just get rid of your car. 1. What do we know about the authors car?A. It was old. B.

For ads on TV, government has clear rules to forbid brands parading the before-and-after effects of health products.
