試題分析：短文大意：汽車的發(fā)明在一個(gè)世紀(jì)前。你可能知道各種汽車的名字，但是很多人不知道誰是第一輛汽車的發(fā)明者。第一輛車不是德國人發(fā)明的，而是由一個(gè)名叫亨利福特的美國人發(fā)明的。

【1】B細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文中The first car was invented not by a German, but by an American.可知第一輛汽車是美國人制造的。所以選B。

【2】A細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第一句話The car was invented (發(fā)明) just a century ago.可知汽車是一個(gè)世紀(jì)前制造的，也就是100年。所以選A。

【3】C細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文中He was the eldest of six children.可知他是六個(gè)孩子中最大的，也就是說他有五個(gè)小弟弟。所以選C。

【4】B細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文中Soon he had to work in a machine shop for two dollars and fifty cents a week. In the evenings he repaired watches for another dollar a week可知他每星期掙兩美元50美分，晚上還掙一美元，加起來是3.5美元。所以選B。

【5】A細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文中In the evenings he repaired watches for another dollar a week. The hard life made him strong and able.可以看出他在晚上修表是為了謀生，不是為了好玩，所以A不正確。
