8．All the teachers have a high________of Mary because she is smart and hard-working.
A．suggestion B．idea

Henry Ford was born on a farm near Detroit，Michigan. He never really enjoyed farming and left the farm when he was sixteen.
As a child he was very interested in machines. By the time he was thirteen he could put together a watch after pulling it apart. The interest in machines made him work for a while as an apprentice machinist(学徒机工)．
When he was forty，Ford and another eleven people founded the Ford Motor Company. They had invested(投资) $28,000 in it.
Ford hired workers with disabilities(残疾). He studied the requirements each job required and put each worker into a place which best suited him and where he could make a living for his family. He thought as a boss his job was to serve others. He paid his workers $5 a day，which was nearly twice as much as most other bosses paid their workers. He felt there was something sacred(神圣的) about wages and what they represented.He started the 40-hour workweek with his workers working eight hours a day，five days a week. He had a rule for his workers，which forbade them from heavy drinking and gambling.
Ford had a heart attack in 1938 and turned the running of the company over to his son Edsel，but Edsel died five years later，so Ford took over the company again. He stayed in that position for two more years and made his grandson Henry Ford Ⅱ president of the company in 1945.
Henry Ford died at the age of eighty-three in 1947. He was one of the many people who helped to make America great.
5．The reason why Ford worked for some time as an apprentice machinist was that________.
A．he didn't like farming
B．he was fond of machines
C．he could repair a watch
D．he was too young to be a machinist
答案 B [细节理解题。根据第二段第一句“As a child he was very interested in machines.”以及第二段第三句“The interest in machines made him work for a while as an apprentice machinist.”可知B项符合题意。]
6．The Ford Motor Company was established in about________.
A．1931 B．1892 C．1904 D．1922
答案 C [时间推断题。由第三段可知福特成立汽车公司时是40岁，由最后一段可知他于1947年去世，享年83岁。据此可以算出汽车公司成立的年份应该是1947－(83－40)＝1904，所以C项正确。]
7．Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the fourth paragraph?
A．Rules of the Ford Motor Company.
B．The beginning of the 40-hour workweek.
C．The ways that Ford supported his family.
D．Ford's attitude towards wages.
答案 C [细节理解题。第四段主要说了福特作为汽车公司老板在雇用员工、付工资以及对员工的要求等方面的事，没有提到他养家的方法，只提到他为残疾人提供工作，使得他们可以养家。故选C项。]
8．Why did Henry Ford return to run the company in 1943?
A．Edsel had passed away.
B．He had recovered from his illness.
C．Henry Ford Ⅱ needed his help.
D．He couldn't leave his company.
