Question

Imagine a world where air pollution is no longer a problem. Clean air is all around us. People don’t have to worry about polluting the air every time they drive their cars. They no longer need to face the problem of not having enough fuel（燃料）either.

Although scientists have been trying for many years to develop a new kind of car that does not need gasoline (汽油), they have been unsuccessful. Recently, however, car engineers have succeeded in creating a new kind of car that runs on gasoline and electricity（電）. This is the famous “hybrid car”. This car gets its name from the fact that it has a gasoline engine (引擎) and an electric motor inside. Hybrid cars do not pollute the environment as much as the cars that are commonly used today. They also cost drivers less money because they need less fuel than ordinary cars.

Hybrid cars are becoming widely popular in the United States. They are soon expected to become widely used around the world. If scientists and engineers continue to work on car development, perhaps the world with clean air that we imagined earlier just might become real in the future.

1. The underlined word “they” in Paragraph (段落) 2 means ______.

A. carsB. drivers

C. engines D. scientists

2.Hybrid cars ______.

A. increase air pollution B. run only on electricity

C. have no engines insideD. need less fuel than ordinary cars

3. The passage tells us that with the development of cars, we may ______.

A. like electric cars B. drive cars easily

C. live in the world with clean airD. understand how hybrid cars work

4.The best title for the passage would be ______.

A. The Car of the FutureB. The Meaning of Hybrid

C. The Use of Hybrid CarsD. The Invention of the Car

4.A

【解析】

試題分析：這篇文章主要講了如果污染不再是一個問題，那么我們就不必擔心燃料問題，科學家在研究一種不需要燃料的汽車但是都沒有成功，現(xiàn)在科學家們發(fā)明了一種混合動力汽車不污染環(huán)境。

1.詞義猜測題。根據(jù)短文Although scientists have been trying for many years to develop a new kind of car that does not need gasoline (汽油),科學家們一直在嘗試研制一中不燒汽油的新型的汽車，但是他們都沒有成功可知they指代的是科學家們，故選D。

2.細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)短文第二段They also cost drivers less money because they need less fuel than ordinary cars.可知混合動力車比普通的車需要的燃料少�？芍獞�(yīng)選D。

3.主旨大意題。通讀整篇文章可知汽車的發(fā)展可能會使我們居住在更清潔的環(huán)境。故選C。

4.標題歸納題。通讀整篇文章 可知這篇文章最好的標題是“未來的汽車”故選A。

考點：科技類短文閱讀。
