题文
When buying from a dealer, the law says that a car must be:As described:
This includes the history of the car as well as its specification. For example, if the dealer described the car as previously having “one careful lady owner”, it shouldn’t turn out to have had several previous “boy racer” owners.
Of satisfactory quality:
It must meet the standard that a reasonable person would regard as acceptable and be free from any quality problem. Also, bear in mind that a second-hand car will have a slightly different definition of what is considered “satisfactory, because there’s certainly an element of wear and tear.
Fit for the purpose:
It must be reasonable fit for any normal purpose and this includes any purpose that you specify to the seller.
●If any of the above is violated, then in theory, you may have the right to reject the vehicle and get your money back if you’re reasonably quick. Alternatively, the dealer might offer to replace or repair the car; reduce the price of offering a partial refund(退款). once you’ve informed the dealer that you wish to reject the car, you must stop using the vehicle.
●If the rejection is not accepted, then it’s up to you to prove your case. You’ll need to pay for an independent assessment of the car and sue for damages. If you do choose a repair, insist the dealer provide you with a hire car or pay any reasonable traveling expenses thus produced while your new car is in the garage.
●If the car is new, it’s likely that the claim will be too high to be fought. Using the small claims procedure to you may have to pay for legal representation. All this can be pretty daunting and expensive. You need to weigh up the pros and cons before rejecting a car. Would a repair do just as well? Selecting a dealer who offers a clear exchange policy may help.

答案
小题1:B
小题2:C
小题3:A
小题4:C
小题5:B
解析
文章主要讲的是购车的注意事项。买车时，需要看车况与描述是否相符，车辆是否有质量问题。购买后发现质量问题，可以退货或者申请赔款。
小题1:根据第一句“When buying from a dealer, the law says that a car must be”可知，与描述相符、保证质量这三个小标题主要讲的是买车时的注意事项，而不是教你如何买车，所以A项不正确，故选B。
小题2:根据“once you’ve informed the dealer that you wish to reject the car, you must stop using the vehicle.”可知，一旦你通知经销商要退车，你就必须停止使用那辆车，故选C。
小题3:根据“insist the dealer provide you with a hire car or pay any reasonable traveling expenses thus produced while your new car is in the garage”可知，当汽车在修理期间，可以要求经销商提供暂时用车或支付出行的费用，故选A。
小题4:根据“it’s likely that the claim will be too high to be fought. ...All this can be pretty daunting and expensive.”可知，如果是新车，进行索赔的诉讼可能花销会很大，往往会让人望而却步，A不同的；B有效的；C使气馁的；D便利的，故选C。
小题5:根据“If the car is new, it’s likely that the claim will be too high to be fought. ...You need to weigh up the pros and cons before rejecting a car. Would a repair do just as well?”可知，新车的话，没有必要退掉，修理一下就可以了，在作出决定之前，你需要权衡一下利弊，故选B。

【备考提醒】
为了保证较高准确率，建议同学们做好以下几点：
1、保持正常的考试心态。笔者在教学中发现，越是容易的试题，同学们越是容易失分。为什么呢？因为在这种情况下，同学们极易产生麻痹思想，认为题目好做，就不引起高度重视，于是思维不发散、不周密。而命题人就是利用同学们的这一弱点，设计陷阱题。所以，无论试题难易与否，我们都要保持正常的考试心态。试题容易，不欣喜；试题难，不悲观。
2、根据前面讲到的方法，认认真真、细细心心做好事实细节题。
3、做好语义转换题。这类题是根据英语中一词多义和某些词语在文中能表达一定的修辞意义的原则而设计的。要求同学们解释某生词的含义，确定多义词或短语在文中的意思，确认文中的某个代词所指代的对象，或者对英语中特有的表达、格言、谚语进行解释。这种题要求同学们一定要根据上下文猜测词义或理解句子，切不可望文生义。
4、做好简单推理判断题。简单推理判断题要以表面文字为前提，以具体事实为依据进行推理，做出判断。这种推理方式比较直接，只要弄清事实，即可结合常识推断出合理的结论。
