四、阅读理解
The race is on to get more electric cars on the road. People predict that electric cars might be more common in the future. But according to a 2021 survey by Pew Research Centre, more than half of the US adults like gas-powered cars better. They say electric cars are expensive and charging(充电) them is a big problem. For now, most people plan to stick with gas-powered cars. We ask young readers what they think about electric cars.
Henry, 12 years old, San Francisco
I think we should all have electric cars. This would cut down air pollution and allow us to breathe better. Cleaner air also means there will be fewer animals dying. Think of all the lives we have lost by destroying our environment.
Some people think electric cars are pricey. But their prices are coming down. What's more, gas costs a lot more than electricity. Once you use the gas, it's gone. Anyway, I think we're going to run out of gas at some point. This will make electric cars a need. Also, do you know that electric cars can travel 33 miles for about a dollar? You can't say that for gas. All cars should be electric!
Sandy, 13 years old, New York
I don't think all cars should be electric. First of all, charging stations are less common than gas stations. This makes electric cars a lot less convenient for long trips. What's more, cold weather does harm to the batteries(电池). They can't work well as usual. And electric cars are also more expensive than common cars. A new electric car usually costs around $11,000 more than a new gas car. True, electric cars help slow climate change. But throwing batteries away can hurt our planet.
( )1.The underlined word “pricey” probably means “____”.
A.fast B.slow
C.cheap D.expensive
( )2.Sandy develops her idea mainly by ____.
A.telling stories B.listing facts
C.asking questions D.using sayings
D
B
( )3.Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?
A.Should All Cars Be Electric?
B.Will Cars Be Common in the Future?
C.Can Electric Cars Help Slow Climate Change?
D.Are Gas-powered Cars Bad for the Environment?
A

When he was 16, Dutch engineering student Slat was 2._______ vacation in Greece, and he started to think about all the rubbish that 3._______________(push) onto beaches by water.
