Questions 6-10 are based the following passage
Long bus rides are like television shows. They have a beginning, a middle, and an end-with commercials thrown in every three or
four minutes. The commercials are unavoidable. They happen whether you want them or not. Every couple of minutes a billboard glides by outside the bus window. “Buy Super Clean Toothpaste.” “Drink Good’n Wet Root Beer.” “Fill up with Pacific Gas.” Only if you sleep, which is equal to turning the television set off, are you spared the unending cry of “You Need It! Buy It Now!”
The beginning of the ride is comfortable and somewhat exciting, even if you’ve traveled that way before. Usually some things have changed-new houses, new buildings, sometimes even a new road. The bus driver has a style of driving and it’s fun to try to figure it out the first hour or so. If the driver is particularly reckless or daring, the ride can be as thrilling as a suspense story. Will the driver pass the truck in time? Will the driver move into the right or the left-hand lane? After a while, of course, the excitement dies down. Sleeping for a while helps pass the middle hours of the ride. Food always makes bus rides more interesting. But you’ve got to be careful of what kind of food you eat. Too much salty food can make you very thirsty between stops.
The end of the ride is somewhat like the beginning. You know it will soon be over and there’s a kind of expectation and excitement in that. The seat, of course, has become harder as the hours have passed. By now you’ve sat with you legs crossed, with your hands crossed behind your head. The end comes just at the right time. There are just no more ways to sit.

PASSAGE2
乘坐远程车就如同赏识电视秀，有初步、有情节、也有结束，每隔三四分钟插播商业广告。商业广告不可以避免。不管是不是需要，都会呈现。车窗外每几分钟就有商业广告牌闪过。“买超级清洗牙膏”、“喝个爽快就喝无醇饮晾淠“充和平洋天然气”。只需睡觉，如同关掉电视机，才干躲避无休止的叫喊“你需要这个！如今就买吧！”
旅程的初步是舒畅而且有些振奋的，即便早年走过那条路。一般一些事物有改变，新房子、新建筑、有时甚至新路途。司机有驾御的个性，在一初步辨认出这种个性是一种快乐喜爱。
假定司机横行无忌、勇于冒险，旅程将如同悬念小说相同惊险影响。司机缘刚好跨越那辆货车吗？司机缘开左车道仍是右车道？当然，不久影响感逐渐不见了。睡一会有助于度过旅途中心几个小时。食物一向让旅行更有快乐喜爱。可是要留心吃哪种食物。过于咸的食物能使你在站间非常口渴。
旅行结束与初步有些类似。你晓得旅程将很快结束，就会发生一种等待和振奋。坐位必定跟着时刻变得愈加坚固。如今你双腿穿插着坐着，双手穿插垫在脑后。旅程当令结束。刚好没有其他坐姿了。
答案解析：
6、C 第一段中介绍了乘客在坐远程车进程中所见的是广告牌。 “the commercials”是“商业广告”的意思;“billboard” 是“广告牌”的意思，即 “advertisements on the board”。
7、 A 全文首要介绍作者对搭车远程旅行的感触。
8、 D 第一段作者认为“商业广告不可以避免”和“只需睡觉才干躲避广告”，由此可以揣度出作者不喜爱沿途的广告牌。
9、 B 根据文章第一段第一句和第二句“乘坐远程车就如同赏识电视秀，有初步、有情节、也有结束，每隔三四分钟插播商业广告”可知。
10、A 根据文章第二段第一句“旅程的初步是舒畅而且有些振奋的”和第三段第二句“你晓得旅程将很快结束，就会发生一种等待和振奋”可知。
