Question

Would you like to have an electric car? We will see this kind of cars soon in America. These quiet, clean cars run on electricity. Carmakers will start selling electric cars in 2011.
The world’s population will jump from 6.8 billion to 9 billion by 2050. The need for cars will jump with it. But the oil(石油) won’t keep up with the number of cars on the road. So the price of oil will go up.
Electric cars aren’t perfect just yet. It can take eight hours to charge(充電) a car for only 100 miles of driving. And the distance(路程) that cars can go depends on driving conditions(條件). How far it travels depends on the weather and traffic.
Price is a problem, too. Electric models cost much more than oil-powered cars. The good news is that electric-car technology is getting better. As it does, the prices of this kind of cars are dropping.
To charge the car, the US Department of Energy is paying for at least 10,000 charging stations around the country. Private businesses are also getting ready for it. It will cost about $3 for each charge.
Carmakers are coming up with other ways to make the car cleaner and cheaper. Cars may run on clean diesel(柴油). So who knows what will power the car you may be driving in 10 years? The chances are that it will be something that’s clean and easy.

小題2:A
小題3:B
小題4:C
小題5:B

試題分析：本文介紹的是電動小汽車，由于汽車的使用量越來越大，石油越用越少，油價越來越高，所以產生了環保的電動小汽車，它主要的動力來源是電。
小題1:細節理解題。根據原文These quiet, clean cars run on electricity.可知電動汽車是安靜，干凈的。故選C。
小題2:細節理解題。通過閱讀可知，由于汽車越來越多，石油越來越少，油價會越來越高，從而需要一種替代品，即電動小汽車。所以本段主要告訴我們電動小汽車出現的原因。故選A。
小題3:細節理解題。根據原文How far it travels depends on the weather and traffic.可知能行駛多遠主要依靠天氣和交通情況，故選B。
小題4:細節理解題。根據原文Price is a problem, too. Electric models cost much more than oil-powered cars.可知電動小汽車的弊端是電比油的花費還貴。故選C。
小題5:細節理解題。根據原文So who knows what will power the car you may be driving in 10 years?可知C說法是正確的。故選B。
