Question

【题目】A California family drives a car that could help protect the environment.

When Jon and Sandy go to the store or to their daughters’ soccer games, they drive in high-tech style. They drive a ＄1 million, fuel-cell-powered car. It may be the world’s most expensive car and one of the most environmentally friendly cars.

The FCX is the first fuel-cell-powered car to be used by a family

anywhere in the world. The FCX uses hydrogen and oxygen for fuel.

Car makers have been working to develop vehicles that are better for the environment. They are developing cars that use fuel other than gasoline.

what is fuel cell technology?

Fuel cell technology works by changing the chemicals hydrogen and oxygen into water. This process produces electricity, and water vapor which comes out of the exhaust pipe. Most cars release dangerous gases such as carbon monoxide(一氧化碳) and carbon dioxide. Many scientists say these gases are major contributors to global warming.

“The FCX is driven just like any other vehicle on the road, but

without the gases which pollute the environment, ” scientists say.

Fuel cell technology has been around since the 1800s, but scientists have yet been to perfect it. They say it may take years before the technology is ready for widespread use.

Creating environmentally friendly cars

Another earth-friendly car is already on the market.

Hybrid cars use both gasoline and an electric motor. They are becoming more popular with customers because they cut pollution and improve fuel efficiency.

【3】 From the passage, we know that fuel cell technology _______.

A. works by water

B. has a history for over two hundred years

C. works by electricity

D. has been widely used since the 1800s

【4】 We can infer from the passage that _______ .

A. future cars will be environmentally friendly

B. there will be no gasoline for cars

C. people can’t afford to buy cars in the future

D. global warming has been stopped

【5】 Hybrid cars are popular because _______ .
