三、阅读理解(共10小题;每小题2分,满分20分)
16.Many cars in advertisements are red, blue or green—but almost 75 percent of new cars sold are black, white, silver or grey.
A survey shows people prefer the car colors that don't show dirt such as grey. That means the owners can wash their cars less, saving money. Besides, some areas that are short of water do not allow people to wash their cars often.
According to another survey, white cars are often sold more than cars of other colors. In China, car buyers say white makes a small car look bigger. Car buyers in other countries also like white. And the research also suggests that there is a lower risk of accidents during the day for white cars compared with darker ones. People also think the temperature inside white cars is lower than that in cars of other colors.
At present, every year about 11 percent of cars sold are red and 8 percent are blue. Green has become less popular. In the mid 1990s, green was the most popular color in many places of the world. But today, green cars are hard to find.
Sometime in the future, people may not have to choose the color of their car—technology may let owners change their car's paint color anytime.

Orange continued, "I'm the color of joy. My beauty is so fantastic that no one can think of any of you at sunrise or sunset."
Red shouted out, "I'm the ruler of you. I'm the color of life and love. So nobody can take my place."
Purple stood up, "I'm the color of power. People never question me! They just listen and follow."

2.答案:C
解析:句意:—你解决这个问题有多大困难 —没有。相当简单。考查非谓语动词以及不定代词。have difficulty doing sth“做某事有困难”,第一空填动名词;noting没什么;none没有。根据“how many”可知,此处强调的是数量,用none,故选C。
3.答案:D

14.答案:C
