问：英语题解答

答：The earliest motor vehicle was built in 1769 by Nicolas-Joseph Cugnot. It was powered by steam and was able to reach a top speed of around four kph. Many similar vehicles were then built, mainly for agricultural use on farms. These steam wagons had sturdy frames and heavy wooden wheels, making them capable of carrying heavy loads. By 1865, in response to growing public fears that steam vehicles were travelling too fast, a speed limit was introduced.

答：It was decided that three kph in towns and six kph in country areas was fast enough. As an additional safety precaution, a person waving a red flag had to walk in front of the vehicle. You might think that this speed limit was very low, especially compared with today's speed limits. But at that time, roads were not well constructed, and many drivers found it difficult to stop their steam vehicles quickly.

答：In 1885, Carl Benz built the Motorwagen, the first car to have a petrol engine. It was lighter than the steam engine and could travel at fifteen kph. This type of vehicle was considered less dangerous than the large, heavy steam wagons. In 1896, the speed limit for petrol-driven cars was raised to 22kph and in 1903 it reached 32kph.

答：The same year, Ford set up their motor company business in Detroit and in 1908 they were mass-producing their Model T cars on a factory assembly line. As a result, the time and cost of car-manufacturing was dramatically reduced and more and more ordinary people were able to afford to buy their own car. There are now millions of cars in every country, and the average person in the UK makes thirteen journeys a week: most of them to and from their place of work.

答：更正一下第二段第一空应该填more，我整理答案是看串了，非常抱歉。但是依我看来这是一个多余的空，我的理解是：It was lighter than the steam engine and could travel at fifteen kph.因为这句话是在描述汽油发动机和蒸汽发动机相比轻量，并且能够以15千米/小时的速度行驶。所以我并不能确定这个空的答案，非常抱歉。

答：写错了不能填more，不可以双重比较级。
