1.WhenMikeHarrisonboughthisblackBentleysportscar,itwas.

A.ahand–madecarB.asecond–handcar

C.oneofonlythreeleftD.uniqueinstyle

答案解析：

答案为B。

本题为细节推理题。

由文章第二段第二句话“Ithadalreadydone85,000miles…”可知，MikeHarrison买车的时候，车已经跑了85,000miles，可以推断,Bentleysportscar是二手车。

故答案为B。

A.ithaswitnessedhislifeandhisfamilyB.itisveryeye–catching

C.ithassavemuchoilD.itrunsveryfast

答案解析：

答案为A。

本题为推理题。

由第三段“MrHarrison,74,sayshewouldneversellthecar‘whichhasbeenmybestfriendandpartofmyfamilyallmylife’”.和第四段的进一步解释可知，这辆车一直陪伴着他和他的家庭，故答案为A。

3.Itcanbeconcludedfromthepassagethatthecar.

答案为D。

本题为文章主旨推理题。

通读全文可知，尽管MikeHarrison的车现在已经速度减慢，需要经常修理，但是它见证了MikeHarrison和他的家庭生活，所以这辆车在他们的心中是无价的。

故答案为D。

由第三段“Itisnowoneofonlythreeleftinthecountryandisworth£250,000.”和第六段“Hehasspentthousandsofpoundsonrepairsovertheyears…”可知，车的修理费是几千镑，但是价值是250,000镑，故A选项错误。

由最后一段最后一句话“ButIwouldn'thavechangedanyofit---IfeellikeaQueeneverytimeI'minit.”可知，这辆车还是在使用，并没退休，故B选项错误。

C选项未提及。
