B．campingC．cycling D．drivingD[根據(jù)下文的“AlthoughIwasabletopassmytestlastyear”可知，作者去年能夠通過考試，但最近，作者被診斷出一種無法治愈的疾病。在那之后，作者放棄了開車。故選D項。]22．A.willingly B．a(chǎn)ctuallyC．gradually D．a(chǎn)ngrilyA[根據(jù)后文“Ithoughtthatitwasfinallytherighttime.”可知，作者認為這是正確的時間，由此可推斷作者是自己主動放棄(開車)的，他認為這是對的。故選A項。]23．A.annoyed B．comfortedC．disappointed D．encouragedB[根據(jù)上文“IstoppedwhenIturned90.”可知，當聽到作者90歲時主動放棄(開車)的決定時，作為家人和醫(yī)生來說，對此決定應是感到欣慰、寬心的。故選B項。]24．A.repaired B．presentedC．donated D．possessedD[根據(jù)前文“AsIhandedoverthekeystothecartomyson”可知，當作者把車鑰匙交給兒子時，此情此景應該是在回想他和妻子多年來開過(擁有過)的車，內(nèi)心有所不舍。故選D項。]25．A.fortune B．equalityC．freedom D．characterC[根據(jù)下文“independence,andanextensionofyourpersonality.Withoutone,youfeellikelessofaperson.”可知，一輛車代表著獨立，是一個人個性的延展。設空處與“independence”成并列關(guān)系，由此可推測設空處應是“independence”的同類詞(近義詞)，且是一個人個性延展的體現(xiàn)，所以設空處應是指自由。故選C項。]26．A.favours B．seatsC．changes D．ridesD[根據(jù)上文“Now,mysonoftendrivesmetothecitycentreandmyneighbours”以及下文“whenI'monthewaytothemarket”可知，作者不開車了以后沒有車可開，他兒子就經(jīng)常載他去市中心，當他想去市場的時候，街坊鄰居也會載他一程，給他搭個便車。故選D項。]27．A.giveup B．getusedtoC．liveupto D．driveoffB[根據(jù)上文“Butafteralifetimeofindependence,theideaofbeingdependentonotherpeopleishardto”以及下文“Withmyowncar,Icouldgoanywhereinnotime.”可知，作者認為有輛自己的車可以隨時去任何地方，此前也已經(jīng)習慣了獨立，但當他獨立了一輩子之后，依賴他人的這種想法就很難適應(習慣)了。故選B項。]28．A.extended B．broadenedC．narrowed D．loweredC[根據(jù)上文“Butnow”以及下文“Imustplanaheadforeverything”可知設空處與上文是轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系，由此可知作者現(xiàn)在的視野是變窄了，同時也要提前計劃好一切，沒有以往那樣自由。與前文作者的自由獨立、可以到處看世界形成對比。故選C項。]29．A.Luckily B．GenerallyC．Normally D．DeliberatelyA[根據(jù)下文“I'velearnedtofaceitandchange”可知，作者已經(jīng)學會了面對和改變，已經(jīng)慢慢習慣現(xiàn)在的狀態(tài)，這應是一件幸運的事。故選A項。]30．A.key B．entranceC．reply

B．chargeC．traffic D．expenseC[根據(jù)上文“Itobuyanicenewfour-wheelelectricscooter”可知作者買了一輛很輕便的摩托車，說明他可以自己騎摩托車去想去的地方，可以遠離(擁堵的)交通和噪音。故選C項。]33．A.comparing B．replacingC．combining D．includingB[根據(jù)上文“Itobuyanicenewfour-wheelelectricscooter”可知，作者買了一輛很輕便的摩托車，他可以選擇自己的路線，不走交通擁擠的街道(有汽車和路標)而是走自己喜歡的有樹木和綠色植物的路線。所以說是樹木和綠色植物取代了汽車和路標。故選B項。]34．A.end B．beginningC．a(chǎn)im D．a(chǎn)ttemptA[根據(jù)上文“Givingupsomethingishard,andsomeofusneveraccepttheloss.”“however”可知，設空處所在句與前文形成轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系。作者認為，有些人從不接受失去，認為放棄一些東西是很難的。然而作者卻不認同，他認為對他來說這是漫長而幸運的一生的最終結(jié)果。故選A項。]35．A.busier
