Assembly-line production methods int

10、roduced byHenry Ford in 1913 enabled the price of this five-seat touring car to drop from $ 850 in 1908to $300 in 1925. Through the period from 1900 to the mid 1920s, development ofautomotive technology was rapid. Key developments included electric ignition and theelectric self-starter, independent

11、suspension, and four-wheel brakes.Prior to the period in 1886 when Karl Benz patented the first vehicle, most people ofthe world including Europe and Japan were not able to travel more than 35 km from theirhomes except armyman and religious travelers. Without Benzs knowledge, his wife BerthaBenz sec

12、retly set out on a promotional tour from Mannheim one morning in August 1888,together with their two sons. In the eveningof the same day, the trio arrived at Berthasmothers place in Pforzheim. This wasthe world s first long-distance journey in anautomobile, and proved the suitability of the Benz pat

13、ent motor car for everyday use. TheBenzs invention in his patent was not just an existing vehicle to which an engine was fitted.Instead, Benz developedthe first modern automobile in which engine, powertrain and chassisformed an independent entity, respectively. In 1901, the Daimler motor company pre

14、dicted that worldwide car sales would neverexceed l million because the population at large could not provide more than a million peoplecapable of learning how to drive their vehicle. It is now well known that Daimler grosslyunderestimated. From this historical standpoint, it becomes interesting to

15、see how the roadvehicle has become the great liberator in terms of personal and mass mobility. Early in theSecond World War the world vehicle fleet was less than 50 million units, but by 1987 thetotal unit has grown to approximately 516 million, of which 395 million were passenger cars.41. Which met

19、ns D. 395 millionsPassage 2The head gasket must seal combustion pressures up t0 1 000 psi in gasoline engines andup to 2 000 psi in turbocharged diesel engines. The head gasket must undergo temperatureover 2 000 F. Given this severe environment, even the slightest fault in a gasket willeventually re

20、sult in its failure. If the correct gasket isnt used, proper techniques arentfollowed or proper inspection isnt done, the seal wont be right.Here are some ofthe causes of gasket failure that must be recognized and understood inorder to correct the problem. Hot Spots A hot spot causes metal in a smal

21、l area of the head and/or blockto expand excessively.This expansion can crush and damage the head gasket. As a result, the gasket may leak,erode and/or eventually burn through. If a head gasket is replaced without finding the cause of the hot spot, the replacementgasket will eventually fail, too. Ho

22、t spots also cause additional stress to the head itself,resulting in cracking or warping. Whatever overheating incident can cause the castings todistort permanently. Use a straightedge and feeler gauge to check for flatness. If eithersurface is damaged or out-ofjlatness, it must be resurfaced to ass

23、ure proper sealing when anew gasket is installed. Coolant-Related Problems Sometimes coolant can be problematical for head gaskets in bimetal engines. Corrosioninhibitors are added to many coolants to protect all types of metals. In bimetal engines,these additives eventually form aluminum salts, whi

24、ch can form a coating on the radiatortubes, reducing cooling efficiency and possibly leading to gasket failure. A thorough flushingis called for in this case. In extreme cases of plugging or deterioration, radiator replacementmay be the only answer. keplacing a radiator at the first sigh of a proble

25、m is usually cheaperand easier than doing a head gasket job after the engine damage has been done.46. In the following cases, when will the gasket seal be right? ( ) A.

27、rn through. D. The gasket may distort.49. In the last paragraph, what does the bold and italic word additives imply ? ( ) A. bimetal materials B. aluminum salts C. corrosion inhibitors D. coolant 50. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true? ( ) A. The head gasket must withstand

28、temperature over 2000 F. B. Sometimes coolant can be problematical for head gaskets in bimetal engines. C. If a head gasket is replaced without finding the cause of the hot spot, the replacement gasket can be eventually normal. D.In extreme cases of plugging or deterioration, radiator replacement ma

29、y be the only answer. Passage 3 The Mazdas new rotary engine RX8 doesnt develop quite as much horsepower as thetwin-turbo of old, but at 207 hp. for the base engine and 247 for the high-performanceversion, the coupe is quick. Wasnt the rotary having problems with emissions? Yes, butthe new engine ha

30、s a significant design change: The exhaust ports were moved from therotor housing to the two large, flat side housings, where the intake ports also are located.This larger space permits larger ports, plus tailoring their shape for both optimumperformance and lower emissions. Without the turbos and o

31、ther hardware, the new rotary engine is more compact (same height as the transmission), so for vehicle weight distribution.its moved 2.4 in. further tothe rear than it was in the RX7. This puts most of the engine weight past the centerline ofthe front axle, a design Mazda calls advanced front midship. Rotary engines respond wellto multipath air intake syste
