題目解析：
先了解標(biāo)題大意：Ford：眾所周知，這是一個的美國產(chǎn)汽車品牌。而在我們這篇文章里介紹的是福特牌車，而是創(chuàng)立該品牌的奠基人，福特。所以，這篇文章是一篇人物傳記。
23到26題是讓我們概括文章四個段落的大意，我們先了解選項的含義：
A Ford’s Followers 福特的追隨者
B The Assembly Line裝配線
C Ford’s Great Dream福特的偉大夢想
D The Establishment of the Company公司的成立
E Ford’s Biggest Contribution福特的大的貢獻
F Ford’s Great Talent福特的偉大天賦
根據(jù)題目的要求，先讀第一段，抓住中心句：
1 Ford’s great strength(力量) was the manufacturing(生產(chǎn)、加工) process(過程)--not invention(發(fā)明).Long before he started(開始) a car company，he was a worker, known for(因。。。而，同義詞：be famous for) picking up(組裝) pieces of metal(金屬) and wire(電線) and turning(轉(zhuǎn)變) them into machines(機器).He started putting cars together(組裝) in 1891, although(盡管) it was by no means (決不是)the first popular(受人歡迎的) automobile(美式英語，汽車，相當(dāng)于car.)，the Model(模型) T showed(展示、顯示) the world just how creative(有創(chuàng)造性的) Ford was at combining(結(jié)合) technology(技術(shù)) and market(市場).
分析：通過閱讀本段，我們看出后一句是核心句，雖然T模型談不上是第一種通用的汽車，但它向世界表明了Ford在把技術(shù)和市場結(jié)合在一起方面多么富有創(chuàng)造性。所以正確答案為F。
接著讀第二段：
2 The company’s assembly line(組裝線) alone(僅僅，相當(dāng)于only) threw(使) America’s Industrial Revolution(工業(yè)革命) into overdrive (高速運轉(zhuǎn)).Instead of (代替、而不是)having workers put together the entire car(讓工人們組裝整個汽車), Ford’s friends，who(定語從句) were great toolmakers(工具制造者) from Scotland，organized(組織) teams that(定語從句) added(加) parts(部件) to each Model T as(當(dāng)) it moved down a line(從裝配線上下來).By the time(到。。。時候為止) Ford’s Highland Park plant(工廠) was humming(嗡嗡作響)along in 1914，the world’s first automatic(自動化的) conveyor belt (傳送帶)could turn out (制造、生產(chǎn)，同義詞produce)a car every 93 minutes.
分析：開頭說 到：公司的裝配線獨自把美國的工業(yè)革命投入到高速運轉(zhuǎn)之中。這是個主題句，講的是“裝配線”。后面內(nèi)容是具體說明該句 的，因此答案為B。
讀第三段：
3 The same year (同一年)Henry Ford shocked(令。。。震驚) the world with the$5 ---a day minimum(小) Wage scheme(工資制度). the greatest(大的) contribution(貢獻) he had ever made(定語從句).The average(平均的) Wage in the auto industry then(當(dāng)時) was$2.34 for a 9-hour shift(輪班、倒班).Ford not only(不但) doubled(翻倍) that， he also took an hour off (減少)the workday.In those years it was unthinkable(令人無法想像的) that a man could be paid that much for doing something that(定語從句) didn’t involve (包括、涉及)an awful lot of(許多的) training(培訓(xùn)) or education(教育).The Wall Street Journal(華爾街時報) called the plan “an economic crime’(經(jīng)濟的犯罪).and critics(評論家們) everywhere laughed at (嘲笑)F0rd.
分析：本段的核心句是：The same year (同一年)Henry Ford shocked(令。。。震驚) the world with the$5 ---a day minimum(小) Wage scheme(工資制度). the greatest(大的) contribution(貢獻) he had ever made(定語從句).意思是：
同年Ford以提出一天低5美元的工資制度而震驚世界，這是他至此作出的大的貢獻。 所以正確答案為E。
后閱讀第四段：
4 But as(當(dāng)) the wage increased(增長) later to daily(每天)$10，it proved(證明) a critical(關(guān)鍵的) component(成分) of Ford’s dream to make(使) the automobile accessible(可及的)to a11(對所有人)。 The critics were too stupid(愚蠢的) to understand that because Ford had lowered(降低) his costs(成本) per car，the higher wages didn’t matter(沒關(guān)系)--except for(除了) making it possible for more people to buy cars.
分析：第一句是這么說的：然而，隨著工資后來升到一天10美元，F(xiàn)ord夢想中的關(guān)鍵部分，即大家都買得起汽車，是可以實現(xiàn)的。是中心句，因此，C是正確的答案。
到此為止，概括大意題完成了，接下來，閱讀后半部分題目：

分析：本段的核心句是：The same year (同一年)Henry Ford shocked(令。。。震驚) the world with the$5 ---a day minimum(小) Wage scheme(工資制度). the greatest(大的) contribution(貢獻) he had ever made(定語從句).意思是：

F combined technology and market將技術(shù)和市場結(jié)合在一起
27 The assembly line made it possible to裝配線使得。。?？赡?BR> 分析：從句子結(jié)構(gòu)上來看，to后應(yīng)該接動詞原形，因此，只有從選項C，D里進行選擇，再看句子的意思以及尋找關(guān)鍵詞，在第二段中的后一個句子中提到“這個世界上的第一條汽車輸送帶每93分鐘就生產(chǎn)一輛小汽車”。這個速度在當(dāng)時是相當(dāng)高的，可以想像，一年下來生產(chǎn)汽車的數(shù)量是相當(dāng)大的。所以，因此選D。
28 Ford was the first to adopt 福特是第一個采納。。。
分析：由于adopt是一個及物動詞，其后應(yīng)該跟名詞，因此從選項B，E，中進行選擇。第三段講到。當(dāng)是汽車工業(yè)實行的是9小時工作制，平均每小時2,34美元。Ford不僅把工資翻了翻，而且還把工作日中的工作時數(shù)去除了一小時。也就是說，F(xiàn)ord是第一個實行8小時工作的人。所以選擇E。
29 Higher wages enabled many people to高 工資可以使很多人能夠。。。
分析：enable sb to do sth因此，其后應(yīng)跟動詞原形，除了D只能選C，看看意思是否吻合。C填入后整個句子說的是：由于Ford生產(chǎn)的車成本底，普通人也買得起。答案可見于后一段的后一句。
30 Ford’s higher-wage and lower-cost strategy was strongly 福特的高工資和低成本的策略強烈地。。。
分析：從句子結(jié)構(gòu)來看后面應(yīng)用動詞，而且是被動語態(tài)，只有A有可能。填入后整個句子說的是：Ford的高工資、低成本策略受到了傳媒的批評。答案可以在第三和第四段中找到。

F Ford’s Great Talent福特的偉大天賦
根據(jù)題目的要求，先讀第一段，抓住中心句：
1 Ford’s great strength(力量) was the manufacturing(生產(chǎn)、加工) process(過程)--not invention(發(fā)明).Long before he started(開始) a car company，he was a worker, known for(因。。。而，同義詞：be famous for) picking up(組裝) pieces of metal(金屬) and wire(電線) and turning(轉(zhuǎn)變) them into machines(機器).He started putting cars together(組裝) in 1891, although(盡管) it was by no means (決不是)the first popular(受人歡迎的) automobile(美式英語，汽車，相當(dāng)于car.)，the Model(模型) T showed(展示、顯示) the world just how creative(有創(chuàng)造性的) Ford was at combining(結(jié)合) technology(技術(shù)) and market(市場).
分析：通過閱讀本段，我們看出后一句是核心句，雖然T模型談不上是第一種通用的汽車，但它向世界表明了Ford在把技術(shù)和市場結(jié)合在一起方面多么富有創(chuàng)造性。所以正確答案為F。
接著讀第二段：
2 The company’s assembly line(組裝線) alone(僅僅，相當(dāng)于only) threw(使) America’s Industrial Revolution(工業(yè)革命) into overdrive (高速運轉(zhuǎn)).Instead of (代替、而不是)having workers put together the entire car(讓工人們組裝整個汽車), Ford’s friends，who(定語從句) were great toolmakers(工具制造者) from Scotland，organized(組織) teams that(定語從句) added(加) parts(部件) to each Model T as(當(dāng)) it moved down a line(從裝配線上下來).By the time(到。。。時候為止) Ford’s Highland Park plant(工廠) was humming(嗡嗡作響)along in 1914，the world’s first automatic(自動化的) conveyor belt (傳送帶)could turn out (制造、生產(chǎn)，同義詞produce)a car every 93 minutes.
分析：開頭說 到：公司的裝配線獨自把美國的工業(yè)革命投入到高速運轉(zhuǎn)之中。這是個主題句，講的是“裝配線”。后面內(nèi)容是具體說明該句 的，因此答案為B。
讀第三段：
3 The same year (同一年)Henry Ford shocked(令。。。震驚) the world with the$5 ---a day minimum(小) Wage scheme(工資制度). the greatest(大的) contribution(貢獻) he had ever made(定語從句).The average(平均的) Wage in the auto industry then(當(dāng)時) was$2.34 for a 9-hour shift(輪班、倒班).Ford not only(不但) doubled(翻倍) that， he also took an hour off (減少)the workday.In those years it was unthinkable(令人無法想像的) that a man could be paid that much for doing something that(定語從句) didn’t involve (包括、涉及)an awful lot of(許多的) training(培訓(xùn)) or education(教育).The Wall Street Journal(華爾街時報) called the plan “an economic crime’(經(jīng)濟的犯罪).and critics(評論家們) everywhere laughed at (嘲笑)F0rd.
分析：本段的核心句是：The same year (同一年)Henry Ford shocked(令。。。震驚) the world with the$5 ---a day minimum(小) Wage scheme(工資制度). the greatest(大的) contribution(貢獻) he had ever made(定語從句).意思是：
同年Ford以提出一天低5美元的工資制度而震驚世界，這是他至此作出的大的貢獻。 所以正確答案為E。
后閱讀第四段：
4 But as(當(dāng)) the wage increased(增長) later to daily(每天)$10，it proved(證明) a critical(關(guān)鍵的) component(成分) of Ford’s dream to make(使) the automobile accessible(可及的)to a11(對所有人)。 The critics were too stupid(愚蠢的) to understand that because Ford had lowered(降低) his costs(成本) per car，the higher wages didn’t matter(沒關(guān)系)--except for(除了) making it possible for more people to buy cars.
分析：第一句是這么說的：然而，隨著工資后來升到一天10美元，F(xiàn)ord夢想中的關(guān)鍵部分，即大家都買得起汽車，是可以實現(xiàn)的。是中心句，因此，C是正確的答案。
到此為止，概括大意題完成了，接下來，閱讀后半部分題目：

29 Higher wages enabled many people to高 工資可以使很多人能夠。。。
30 Ford’s higher-wage and lower-cost strategy was strongly 福特的高工資和低成本的策略強烈地。。。

D Produce cars in large numbers大量地生產(chǎn)汽車
E the 8-hour-shift practice 8小時輪班的做法
F combined technology and market將技術(shù)和市場結(jié)合在一起
27 The assembly line made it possible to裝配線使得。。?？赡?BR> 分析：從句子結(jié)構(gòu)上來看，to后應(yīng)該接動詞原形，因此，只有從選項C，D里進行選擇，再看句子的意思以及尋找關(guān)鍵詞，在第二段中的后一個句子中提到“這個世界上的第一條汽車輸送帶每93分鐘就生產(chǎn)一輛小汽車”。這個速度在當(dāng)時是相當(dāng)高的，可以想像，一年下來生產(chǎn)汽車的數(shù)量是相當(dāng)大的。所以，因此選D。
28 Ford was the first to adopt 福特是第一個采納。。。
分析：由于adopt是一個及物動詞，其后應(yīng)該跟名詞，因此從選項B，E，中進行選擇。第三段講到。當(dāng)是汽車工業(yè)實行的是9小時工作制，平均每小時2,34美元。Ford不僅把工資翻了翻，而且還把工作日中的工作時數(shù)去除了一小時。也就是說，F(xiàn)ord是第一個實行8小時工作的人。所以選擇E。
29 Higher wages enabled many people to高 工資可以使很多人能夠。。。
分析：enable sb to do sth因此，其后應(yīng)跟動詞原形，除了D只能選C，看看意思是否吻合。C填入后整個句子說的是：由于Ford生產(chǎn)的車成本底，普通人也買得起。答案可見于后一段的后一句。
30 Ford’s higher-wage and lower-cost strategy was strongly 福特的高工資和低成本的策略強烈地。。。
分析：從句子結(jié)構(gòu)來看后面應(yīng)用動詞，而且是被動語態(tài)，只有A有可能。填入后整個句子說的是：Ford的高工資、低成本策略受到了傳媒的批評。答案可以在第三和第四段中找到。
