toshowhisdeeploveforhiswife【答案】（1）D（2）C（3）A（4）A（5）B（6）C【解析】【分析】本題是一篇記敘文，作者通過(guò)給妻子買車的經(jīng)歷，使作者明白了這家車店如此紅火的原因。(1)考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第二段＂Iwascurious.Howdoesacardealershipget72percentofitsfirst-timevisitorstoreturn?Andhowcantheysellsixtoeightcarsadayinadecliningcarmarket?“；以及第三段中的”WhenIwalkedintoSaturnofAlbuquerquethatFriday…＂可知作者星期五去的目的是想了解一下這家車店為何如此受歡迎，因此選D。(2)考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第四段中的＂Idon'tknowifyouremember,buttoday'smyfifthanniversaryofbeingcancer-free.＂以及第五段中的“Stillnotknowingwhattodotomarkthisspecialoccasion,IdidthemostimpetuousthingI'veeverdoneinmylife:IboughtanewSaturn.”可知，作者這樣做的目的是慶祝他的妻子擺脫癌癥第五個(gè)周年紀(jì)念日，故選C。(3)考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第六段中的““OnTuesday,itdawnedonmethatJanealwayswantedawhitecar.Icalledthesalesconsultant...”可知，星期二，作者突然想到，Jane一直想要一輛白色的車，于是打電話給汽車銷售顧問(wèn)，因此作者是在在下一個(gè)星期二決定買白色汽車的，故選A。(4)考查推理判斷。第七段講述了作者故意隱瞞已經(jīng)買車的事實(shí)，用孩子沒(méi)畢業(yè)做理由拒絕妻子的換車的要求，再結(jié)合第八段中的“sheletoutthemostblood-curdling,shrillscreamI'deverheardin29yearsofmarriage.”和第十段中的“Janesawit,screamed,collapsedinmyarmsandcriedloudly.”的內(nèi)容，可推知Jane看到標(biāo)牌一定非常驚訝和激動(dòng)，因此選A。(5)考查推理判斷。結(jié)合全文內(nèi)容可以看出提車這一部分是全文最精彩的部分，主要體現(xiàn)幾個(gè)方面：①一進(jìn)門就能看到那輛車；②對(duì)妻子喜愛(ài)白車的描述；③銷售人員的做法；④作者妻子的反應(yīng)，因此選B。(6)考查寫(xiě)作意圖。第一段和第二段介紹了車店生意紅火，下文作者買車更是證明了這家車店的優(yōu)秀，作者在這家店的買車經(jīng)歷，令妻子感到驚喜和幸福，作者對(duì)購(gòu)買過(guò)程非常滿意，因此作者是在高度贊揚(yáng)這家車店，故選C。【點(diǎn)評(píng)】本題考點(diǎn)涉及細(xì)節(jié)理解，推理判斷和寫(xiě)作意圖三個(gè)題型的考查，是一篇故事類閱讀，考生需要準(zhǔn)確掌握細(xì)節(jié)信息，并根據(jù)上下文進(jìn)行推理，歸納，從而選出正確答案。5．閱讀理解
