all of our present-day pets, livestock, and food plants were taken from the wild
and developed into the forms we know today.

As centuries passed and human cultures evolved and blossomed, humans
began to organise their knowledge of nature into the broad field of natural
history. One aspect of early natural history concerned the use of plants for drugs
and medicine. The early herbalists sometimes overworked their imaginations in
this respect. For example, it was widely believed that a plant or part of a plant
that resembles an internal organ would cure ailments of that organ. Thus, an

extract made from a heart-shaped leaf might be prescribed for a person
suffering from heart problems. Nevertheless, the overall contributions of these
early observers provided the rudiments of our present knowledge of drugs and
their uses.

A. Cures from plants. B. The beginning of natural history.

V. Read the passage and choose the best answer.

Today's cars are smaller, safer, cleaner, and more economical than their
predecessors, but the car of the future will be far more pollution-free than those
on the road today. Several new types of automobile engines have already been
developed that run on alternative sources of power, such as electricity,
compressed natural gas, methanol, steam, hydrogen, and propane. Electricity,
however, is the only zero- emission option presently available.

Although electric vehicles will not be truly practical until a powerful,

compact battery or other dependable source of current is available,
transportation experts foresee a new assortment of electric vehicles entering
every life: shorter-range commuter electric cars, three-wheeled neighborhood
cars, electric delivery vans , bikes, and trolleys.

As automakers work to develop practical electrical vehicles, urban planners

and utility engineers are focusing on infrastructure system to support and make
the best use of the new cars. Public charging facilities will need to be as
common as today's gas stations. Public parking spots on the street or in
commercial lots will need to be equipped with devices that allow drivers to
charge their batteries while they stop, dine or attend a concert. To encourage
the use of electric vehicles, the most convenient parking in transportation
centers might be reserved for electric cars.

Planners foresee electric shuttle buses, trains, buses, and neighborhood
vehicles all meeting at transit centers that would have facilities for charging and
renting. Commuters will be able to rent a variety of electric cars to suit their
needs light trucks, one-person three wheelers, small cars, or electric/gasoline

hybrid cars for longer trips , which will no doubt take place on automated
freeways capable of handling five times the number of vehicles that can be
carried by a freeway today .

41. The following electrical vehicles are all mentioned in the passage EXCEPT

______ .

A. vans B. trains C. planes D. trolleys

42. The author's purpose in the passage is to ______ .

A. criticize conventional vehicles.

B. support the invention of electric cars.

C. narrate a story about alternative energy vehicles.

D. describe possibilities for transportation in the future.

43. The passage would most likely be followed by details about _______ .

A. automated freeways B. pollution restrictions in the
future.

C. the neighborhood of the future. D. electric shuttle buses.

44. The word "compact" in the second paragraph is closest meaning to ______ .
