【解析】

这篇文章讲述了世界上有各种各样的车，作者的姑姑认为车的款式就如同它的司机，有钱人开豪车，老人开旧车，大人开大车，但是作者并不这样觉得，他通过一些例子告诉我们，车子并不能反映它的司机的情况。

1.句意：汽车就如同他们的司机。

for为了；with随着，和；like，像，如同。根据空后“She says, Rich people have expensive cars, big people have large cars, and old people drive old car,”可知这是在说什么样的人开什么样的车，汽车如同它们的司机，be like像，如同。故选C。

2.句意：她开车车速从不超过30公里每小时。

never从不；always 总是；often经常。根据“Her car is new. It’s very large, and it can go 200 kilometers for each hour!”可知她的车很新并且能开的很快，但作者的邻居，一个82岁的老太太，车速从不超过30公里每小时。故选A

3.句意：我的朋友是一个艺术家，他画了很多漂亮的彩画。

a teacher一个老师；a writer一个作家；an artist一个艺术家。根据后句“He draws beautiful pictures with lots of colors. 他画了很多漂亮的彩画。”可以猜测出作者的朋友是一个艺术家an artist。故选C。

4.句意：他的车经常有发动机问题。

problems问题；wrongs欺骗行径，邪恶；trouble麻烦。wrong译为“错误”时，后不加s；根据句意及选项可知，有发动机问题has engine problems符合语境。故选A。

5.句意：她开那种车是因为她穷吗？

rich富有的；poor贫穷的；old老的，旧的。根据后面“No, she has four factories and two million dollars in the bank.”可知她有四个工厂并且在银行有很多存款，所以前面是在问她穷吗，后面才会否定回答，说她很富有。故选B。

6.句意：你现在通过阅读了解了我的朋友和他们的车，你赞同我姑姑的观点吗？

read about阅读而知，获悉；known知道；seen看见。文中作者讲了朋友及他们的车的情况，根据句意及选项可知，是你现在通过“阅读了解”了我的朋友和他们的车。故选A。
