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 than 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, transport experts foresee a new assortment of electric vehicles entering everyday life: shorter-range commuter electric cars, three-wheeled neighbourhood cars, electronic delivery vans, bikes and trolleys. As automakers work to develop practical electrical vehicles, urban planners and utility engineers are focusing on infrastructure systems to support and make the best use of the new cars. Public.

<span class='text_page_counter'>(3)</span> 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 centres might be reserved for electric cars. Planners foresee electric shuttle buses, trains, buses and neighbourhood vehicles all meeting at transit centres 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 eletric/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 freeway today.

A. criticize conventional vehicles B. support the invention of electric cars C. narrate a story about alternative energy vehicles D. describe the possibilities for transportation in the future Question 42: The following electrical vehicles are all mentioned in the passage EXCEPT___________.

A. visitors B. cab drivers C. shoppers D. daily travellers Question 50: The word ‘hybrid' in paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to___________. A. hazardous B. futuristic C. automated D. combination Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the best answer to each of the questions. A pilot cannot fly by sight alone. In many conditions, such as flying at night and landing in dense fog, a pilot must use radar, an alternative way of navigating. Since human eyes are not very good at determining speeds of approaching objects, radar can show a pilot how fast nearby planes are moving. The basic principle of radar is exemplified by what happens when one shouts in a cave. The echo of the sounds against the walls helps a person determine the size of the cave. With radar, however, the waves are radio waves instead of sound waves. Radio waves travel at the speed of light, about 300,000 kilometres in one second. A radar set sends out a short burst of radio waves. Then it receives the echoes produced when the waves bounce off objects. By determining the tune it takes for the echoes to return to the radar set, a trained technician can determine the distance between the radar set and other objects. The word “radar” in fact gets its name from the term “radio detection and ranging”. “Ranging” is the term for detection of the distance between an object and the radar set. Besides being of critical importance to pilots radar is essential for air traffic control tracking ships at sea, and for tracking weather systems and storms. Question 51: What is the mam topic of this passage? A. Alternatives to radar B. The nature of radar. C. History of radar. D. Types of ranging.

<span class='text_page_counter'>(4)</span> Question 52: According to the passage, what can radar detect besides location of objects? A. shape B. size C. speed D. weight Question 53: The word “exemplified" m the passage can be replaced by__________.

A. “shoots” B. ‘"whispers” C. “exclaims” D". “yells” Question 55: Which of the following words best describes the tone of this passage? A. humorous B. argumentative C. explanatory D. imaginative Question 56: According to the passage, the distance between a radar set and an object can be determined by_________. A. the term “ranging" used for detection of the distance between an object and the radar set B. the time it takes for the radio waves to produce echoes and bounce off the object C. the tune it takes for a burst of radio waves to produce echoes when the waves bounce off the object D. the time it takes for the echoes produced by the radio waves to return to the radar set Question 57: Which type of waves does radar use? A. radio B. sound C. tidal D. heat Question 58: The word “tracking” in the passage most closely means_________. A. sending B. ranging C. repairing D. searching for Question 59: Which of the following would most likely be the topic of the next paragraph? A. A history of flying. B. Other uses of radar. C. The technology used by pilots. D. Uses of some technology. Question 60: What might be inferred about radar? A. It was developed from a study of sound waves. C.
