Passage 5(原创题)
Have you ever been encouraged to buy an electric car? Or are you driving an electric car now? It is said that driving an electric car is good for the environment. But is that true?
The University of Minnesota recently studied emissions(排放物) from different cars. The scientists found that sometimes, electric cars are more harmful than petrol(汽油) cars.
Surprising? Well, please pay attention to the word “sometimes”. Electric cars are supposed to be clean. The problem lies in the power

that is used to charge(充电) them. If the power comes from wind or solar energy, electric cars will cause little pollution. However, if the power is produced from coal, they will be very harmful. According to the study, emissions from these cars kill about 3,000 people a year. However, pollution caused by petrol cars only leads to 880 deaths a year.
In fact, sales people are not lying when they say electric cars are clean. However, they are right only when the power used to charge their cars is also clean.
___In France, more than half of the power comes from nuclear stations. Electric cars there should be as clean as they are marketed(推销) to be. In many developing countries, however, electricity still mainly comes from coal. India, for example, depends on coal for 61 percent of its power. Only two percent of its electricity comes from nuclear energy. In countries like India, electric cars are not clean at all! In China, by October 2022, the production and sales of electric cars had reached a new monthly record high. China's electric cars are developing rapidly, including vehicle(车辆) model matching, technology research and development, and electric car market. And it has made progress in both the technical and market fields.
