The Rolls Royce logo consisting of the two Rs clearly stands for Rolls and Royce, the two founders of this car manufacturing company.
In 1884 Frederick Henry Royce started an electrical and mechanical business. He made his first car, a “Royce”, in his Manchester factory in 1904. He was introduced to Charles Steward Rolls in a Manchester hotel on May 4 that year, and the pair agreed a deal where Royce would manufacture cars, to be sold by Rolls. A clause (條款) was added to the contract, saying the cars would be called “Rolls Royce”.

The current Toyota logo consists of three ovals: the two perpendicular (成直角的) ovals represent a relationship of trust between the customer and Toyota. These ovals combine to symbolize the letter “T” for Toyota. The space in the background implies a global expansion of Toyota’s technology and unlimited potential for the future.
The Hyundai Motor Company (HMC) is a South Korean company manufacturing automobiles. Their automobiles are available in many countries around the globe. In 2003 it was South Korea’s largest car maker and the world’s seventh largest car maker. The Hyundai logo appears to be an H (symbolizing Hyundai). The oval shape indicates the company’s global expansion and the “H” is symbolic of two people (specifically the company and customer) shaking hands.
The Mercedes-Benz logo represents one of the most famous brands in the world. The Benz logo is a three-pointed star that represents its domination of the land, the sea, and the air. The famous three-pointed star was designed by Gottlieb Daimler to show the ability of his motor for land, air and sea usage. It was first seen on a Daimler in 1909 and was combined with the Benz laurel wreath (桂冠) in 1926 to symbolize the union of the two firms. Mercedes-Benz is one of the world’s oldest automobile manufacturers.

小題4:D

試題分析：本文介紹了四個公司的標(biāo)志的含義。The Rolls Royce logo的標(biāo)志代表了制造商和賣家的聯(lián)合；Toyota logo公司的標(biāo)志代表公司和顧客建立的信任關(guān)系，及公司有光明的未來；The Hyundai Motor Company的標(biāo)志代表顧客和公司在握手言和，同時標(biāo)志還表明公司的前途是很光明的；The Mercedes-Benz的標(biāo)志是兩個公司的聯(lián)合。
小題1:這是細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)The oval shape indicates the company’s global expansion and the “H” is symbolic of two people (specifically the company and customer) shaking hands.故選C。
小題2:這是細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)Mercedes-Benz is one of the world’s oldest automobile manufacturers.故選B。
小題3:這是細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)the pair agreed a deal where Royce would manufacture cars, to be sold by Rolls. A clause (條款) was added to the contract, saying the cars would be called “Rolls Royce”可知應(yīng)選A。.
小題4:這是細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)It was first seen on a Daimler in 1909 and was combined with the Benz laurel wreath (桂冠) in 1926 to symbolize the union of the two firms.故選D。
點評：細(xì)節(jié)題為閱讀考題的重頭戲，所占比例很高，相對而言較簡單，因為這類題雖然要求理解準(zhǔn)確，但基本上限于字面意義的理解，范圍也限于局部，因此是我們可望得高分的部分。細(xì)節(jié)題絕大部分體現(xiàn)“中心思想是解”這一原理。本文都是細(xì)節(jié)理解題，在文中比較容易找到答案。
