It’s not the flashiest car in the world.Not even close.But the 1971 Volkswagen named Helios can do something most cars can’t :run on solar energy-energy from the sun’s light and head!

  Joshua Bechtold, 14,and the other students at the Riverside School in Lyndonville, Vermont, worked many months to get Helios ready.They named their car after Helios, the sun god in Greek mythology(神話).

  The 4-year-old Tour de Sol encourages the use of “green”, or environmen-tally friendly, cars to help reduce pollution and save energy.It’s not a race.Cars are judged on fuel efficiency(耗油量)rather than speed.In the week-long event, 44 cars took the 350-mile tour from Waterbury, Connecticut, to Lake George, New York.Of the 23 student cars, Helios was the only one built by middle school students.

  A teacher drove Helios, but the children talked with people wherever they stopped along the road.“That was my favorite part,” says Anna Browne,15.“We explained how the car runs.”

  Due in part to old, inefficient batteries(電池),Helios finished fourth-out of four-in its kind, the sun-powered class.“We were there for the fun of it,” Anna says, “We’re proud of Helios,”says Ariel Gleicher, 14.“It’s a car that’s good for the environment.”

答案:1.A;2.B;3.C;4.D;
解析:

(1)

從第一段“run on solar energy”和第二段“Joshua Bechtold,14, and the other students…worked many months to get Helios ready.”可知本車利用太陽能,并且由學(xué)生制做。

(2)

從最后一段“Helios finished fourth-out of four-in its kind, the sun-powered class”可知,四輛同類車參賽,Helios得第四名。

(3)

全文講述Helios這類太陽能車。本文不止講Helios的制作,排除A。本文講Helios參賽前后的事,不以賽事為主,排除B。環(huán)保汽車的使用不止在Connecticut, 排除D。

(4)

學(xué)生們對此車感到自豪是因為該車環(huán)保,而非車速或小孩子喜歡,且它的電池舊而效率低,排除其他各項。

Can you imagine what Edison’s life was like in the years after he had invented the electric lamp? Many things had to be   1   and built before electric lamps could   2   be used by all: machines to measure the electricity each home or office used; things to make it   3   that the electricity in the wires did not   4  fires, things to send electricity  5   the right places.
