Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on the answer sheet to indicate the
correct answer to each of the questions from 30 to 37.
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 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 systems 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 freeway today.

A. vans

A. criticize conventional vehicles

The Stone Age was a period of history which began in approximately two million B.C and
lasted until 3000 B.C. Its name was derived from the stone tools and weapons
that modern scientists found. This period was divided into the Paleolithic, Mesolithic, and Neolithic
Ages.
During the first period (2 million to 8000 B.C), the first hatchet and use of fire for heating and
cooking were developed. As a result of the Ice Age, which evolved about one million years into the
Paleolithic Age, people were forced to seek shelter in caves, wear clothing, and developed new tools.
During the Mesolithic Age (8000 to 6000 B.C), people made crude pottery and the first fish
hooks, took dogs hunting, and developed the bow and arrow, which was used until the fourteenth
century A.D.
The Neolithic Age (6000 to 3000 B.C) saw humankind domesticating sheep, goats, pigs, and cattle,

governments.
