We are all aware of the damaging pollution that's created by driving petrol and diesel(柴油)vehicles. Many of the world's cities are jammed with traffic, creating poisonous gases such as nitrogen oxides. The solution for a cleaner, greener future could be electric vehicles. But how optimistic should we be?
There was much excitement last year when the UK government announced it will ban the sale of new petrol and diesel cars from 2030. But is that easier said than done? The road to global traffic being totally electric is still a long way off. Currently, battery life is an issue—a fully charged battery won't take you as far as a full tank of petrol. here are also limited numbers of charging points to plug an EV into.
Of course, technology is always improving. Some of the biggest tech companies, like Google and Tesla, are spending huge amounts of money developing electric cars. And most of the big car manufacturers are now making them too. Colin Herron, a consultant on low-carbon vehicle technology, told the BBC:" The big leap forward will come with solid-state batteries, which will appear first in mobile phones and laptops before they progress oars. These will charge more quickly, and give cars a a bigger range. "
Cost is another issue that may deter people switching to electric power. But some countries offer encouraging measures, such as cutting prices by reducing import taxes, and not charging for road tax and parking. Some also provide exclusive lanes for electric cars to be driven on, overtaking traditional cars which might be stuck in jams. These kinds of measures have made Norway the Country with the most electric cars per capita(人均)at more than thirty electric cars per 1, 000 inhabitants.
But Colin Herron warns that "electric motoring" doesn't mean a zero-carbon future.
(1)、What makes global traffic difficult to be totally electric according to the second paragraph?A、A ban of the UK government. B、Lack of petrol. C、The small number of charging points. D、A low battery quality.(2)、According to Colin Herron, what can we learn?A、Solid-state batteries will allow electric cars to travel farther. B、Electric cars will indeed make for a zero-carbon future. C、Solid-state batteries will be initially employed in electric cars. D、Big progress has been made in laptops and mobile phones.(3)、What does the underlined word "deter" mean in the fourth paragraph?A、Block. B、Suggest. C、Leave. D、Catch.(4)、What will be most probably talked about next?A、The huge potential of electric cars. B、The unfavorable future of electric cars. C、The eagerness for a zero-carbon future. D、The reasons for not achieving a zero-carbon future. -

Whenever he gave me a little bit of money,he would say,"This is for spending.But you can save so me and put it in the piggy bank if you want to save it up." When he gave me larger amounts,it was clearly for saving in the piggy bank.For some time,this worked fine.I loved shaking the piggy bank and hearing the sound of the coins.As it became heavier,I grew more excited,dreaming about buying my new bike,and all the adventures I could have on it.
Whenever I wanted to take some money from the piggy bank to buy delicious ice-creams or beautiful pens,I would imagine riding my bike on the street,and thinking of that,my thoughts about ice-creams or pens went away.So for almost six months,I only put money into the piggy bank without taking any out.I thought I wouldn't break my piggy bank for anything.But one day something unexpected happened.I saw a piece of news on the television that a serious earthquake had happened in a nearby province.As many houses were destroyed,a lot of children became homeless.Seeing their shabby clothes and crying faces,I was sleepless that night.

Many of the Earth's creatures die because of humans' choices.These choices have nothing to do with food or shelter or anything else that helps humans survive.What kills millions of animals all over the world is that humans want to make money by doing so.
People use parts of animals for everything from hats to handbags,from jewelry to ashtrays and to make powders that supposedly improve a person's life.Deciding that a species is endangered and protecting it by law are not always enough.People who kill wildlife illegally rarely get caught.
During the late 1980s,saving elephants became a popular cause.Wildlife protection groups made sure everyone saw pictures or films of elephants with their faces cut off for their ivory.These groups also proved that certain populations of elephants were decreasing.As a result,most people stopped buying objects made of ivory.Laws against poaching(偷猎) were made stronger.Many countries made importing ivory illegal.Killing elephants for their Ivory became more risky and less profitable.
However,concern for certain species will become weak after a while.In the late 1970s,people protested against the killing of seal babies.Everyone was shocked to see young seals being killed in their icy habitat.The cruel activity stopped.But ten years later,the number of seal babies killed was higher than ever.
Other animal protection movements have come and gone,such as saving the whales and protecting dolphins.The whale population appears to have increased for now.And the laws are finally changed in America to protect the dolphins that swim with tuna fish in parts of the Pacific Ocean.
In the years to come,people's attention will probably turn to some other endangered species.Plenty of them urgently need attention.
(1)、What leads to the disappearance of millions of wild animals?A、The growing human population. B、Humans' hope for making a fortune. C、Humans' too much need for wild food. D、Not having enough laws on wildlife protection.(2)、What can you infer from the text about what happened in the late 1980s?A、Wildlife protection groups did make great efforts. B、Importing ivory in all countries is illegal. C、Those who killed elephants all got caught. D、Hunting was completely not allowed.(3)、Why are seal babies mentioned in Paragraph 4?A、To show the effort to protect seal babies. B、To show an increasing number of seal babies. C、To show the decrease of worry about certain species. D、To show people's protest against the killing of seal babies.(4)、What does the author mean by using the underlined sentence?A、Humans should choose some rare animals to protect. B、Attention must be paid to saving some endangered wildlife. C、Success has been achieved in quite a few cases of wildlife protection. D、Concern and movements for animal protection should be always kept. -
