二、听力原文

It is usually agreed that a German, Carl Bens built the first motor car in 1885. It was actually a tricycle with a petrol motor at the rear. Soon, members of the royal family and other wealthy people took up motoring as a sport. Many of the early cars had two seats. There were no petrol pumps and few garages, so every driver had to be his own engineer for the frequent breakdowns. By 1905, cars began to look like cars of today, with head lamps, wind screen, rubber tyres and number plates. Henry Ford's Model T introduced in America in 1909 was cheaper because it was made on the assembly line. It brought cars closer towards the reach of ordinary people. With the popularity of the car, registration became a must in 1903 with the Motor Car Act. Competency tests were introduced in 1935. Today, the legal driving age for a car in the UK is 17. You are not allowed to drive a car unsupervised until you have passed a driving test. In 1958, Britain celebrated the opening of its first motor way— the Preston Bypass. Until then, no one really understood what a motor way was, not even the laborers who were building it. The bypass held a new era in motor travel and was greeted with excitement and optimism. Service stations came with the motor way and tlie legend of the transport cafe was bom. Of course, the service station has diversified greatly. But whether it ' s an English-cooked breakfast or a coffee and a sandwich, one thing has iremained the same：the prices.

人们普遍认为第一辆汽车是由卡尔·奔驰在1885年设计建造的。

它其实是一辆后面载着汽油发动机的三轮车。

很快，开这种汽车成为了皇室成员以及其他一些富人的体育运动。

早期的汽车只有两个座位。

当时没有加油泵，汽车修理厂也很少，而汽车故障频发，因此司机只能做自己的修理工了。

到1905年，汽车的外形开始朝今天的汽车外形进化，有了车头灯、挡风镜、橡胶轮胎和车牌号。

1909年引入美国的福特T型车价格相对较低，因为他的车是在生产线上产出的。

这拉近了普通人与汽车之间的距离。

随着车辆的流行，1903年出台的《汽车管理法令》规定购车必须注册。

1935年驾驶能力测试也被引入该法令。

英国现在的最低合法驾车年龄是17岁。

在通过驾驶能力测试之前不能开车，除非在有人监督的情况下。

英国1985年庆祝了其第一条高速公路的开通，也就是如今的普雷斯顿路段。

当时，没有人知道高速公路是什么，包括建造这段公路的工人们。

普勒斯顿高速路开启了汽车旅行的新时代，人们对它的开通充满了激动之情和乐观的憧憬。

服务站随之而来，货运餐馆的传奇就这样诞生了。

当然，服务站各有不同。

但无论是英式早餐还是咖啡三明治，有一样东西是一样的，那就是价格。

请根据刚刚听到的内容回答22-25题。

问题22：关于第一辆汽车说话者介绍了什么？

问题23：英国早期的汽车有什么问题？

问题24：福特T型车为什么价格相对较低？

问题25：关于普勒斯顿高速路我们知道了什么？
