Electric cars may seem like a recent invention, but they have been around for years. 1 At that time, gasoline was expensive compared with other fuels (燃料), so electric cars were more popular.
When gasoline prices dropped and new technologies on gasoline cars were developed, electric cars were out of date. 2 During the 20th century, gasoline cars got bigger, heavier and faster. They needed more fuel, and it caused more air pollution. For years, the car makers didn’t worry about pollution. 3 But when people began to realize that there was not enough oil on the earth, they asked car makers to produce more efficient (高效能的) and less polluting cars.
One method of solving the problem was a “hybrid” car (混合动力车). 4 Hybrid cars became popular in the 2000s because gasoline prices went up while prices of hybrid cars went down.
An all-electric car uses no gasoline. The problem, however, is that car batteries (电池) need to be recharged (再充电). 5 Many people are not pleased with it. The government and car makers are working together to develop safe, cheap and useful electric cars. When more and more people have these electric cars in the future, a gasoline station may disappear.
A.That makes electric cars not so suitable for long journeys.
B.Gasoline cars became more popular instead, because they could go farther without stopping.
C.It is a kind of car that ran partly on gasoline and partly on electricity.
D.In the early 1900s, there were more electric cars on the road than gasoline (汽油) cars.
E.They didn’t worry about how much gasoline cars used, either.
F.The development of electric cars is amazing.

When your great-grandparents were young, the world was very different. There were no high-tech produces (高科技产品)at that time. 1 So it took longer for people to know about what was going on in the world.
2 From the 1860s to 1870s, letters were carried by horse. 3 By the early 1900s, planes were used as a faster way to carry letters across the country and around the world. As time went by, new inventions(发明)made it easy to reach friends and family in a short time.
4 We can also take pictures with them. Computers have made some of the biggest changes in communication(交流). 5 We can also chat with friends online.

根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项,并将所选答案涂到答题卡的相应位置上。
In the countries all over the world, people are leaving the countryside (乡下) in large numbers to find jobs in the cities. They leave because the countryside is much poorer than the city. 1 Services such as hospitals and transport are usually much better in cities than they are in the countryside. They hope that their lives will improve when they move to the city.
But in the big cities of Europe (欧洲) and America, people are moving out of the city. These are usually families who have some money, and want to live a quieter life. 2 And they are tired of the crowded (拥堵) streets, crowded trains and buses. They don’t want to sit in traffic an any more. They want a house with a garden, and clean air that isn’t polluted.
So they move out. Some don’t go very far, just a little way out of the city, to the towns near the cities, and other people move to the real countryside with sheep and cows and green fields! 3
4 After two or three years, many people who have done this feel that it was a big mistake. They don’t make so much money and there isn’t much work to do. Country people are very different and aren’t always very friendly. As a result, quite a lot of people who have moved to the countryside move back to the city. “It’s wonderful to see crowds in the streets and cinema lights,” they say. “ 5 ”
A.We’ll never leave the countryside!
B.I’m so glad that I’m back in the city!
C.And often there isn’t much work there.
D.They are tired of the noise and the dirt of the city.
E.Most old people prefer to stay in their hometown.
F.There, they start new lives and try to make new friends.
G.But not all those who move from the city to the countryside are happy.
It seems to me that families used to eat more meals together. 1 There’s often a TV nearby, or someone’s talking on a cell phone or texting during dinner.
2 We’d wait for everyone to get home, and then we’d all sit down together. During dinnertime conversation, everyone had a chance to talk. Back then, I was a little quiet, so my dad would often ask me to talk about my day. 3
Speaking of taking turns, all of us kids used to take part in either preparing the meal or cleaning up. Sometimes my mom would let me help her in the kitchen. 4 We’d always have fresh food—no fast food or take out.
Now, I won’t pretend (假装) our mealtimes were completely perfect. We used to fight all the time, and sometimes kick each other under the table. 5 Nobody knew exactly what “or else” meant, but we didn’t want to risk finding out.
These days, it seems like families have little time together, especially at mealtimes. However, I wonder if those families know what they’re missing.
A.And it’s the same now.
B.That’s how we learned to share and take turns.
C.I’d wash and cut up vegetables, or things like that.
D.My family always used to eat dinner together, no matter what.
E.And nowadays it is quite different.
F.Then our parents would step in, telling us to “get along or else!”
G.Our parents are always angry with us.

Electric cars may seem like a recent invention, but they have been around for years. 1 At that time, gasoline was expensive compared with other fuels (燃料), so electric cars were more popular.
When gasoline prices dropped and new technologies on gasoline cars were developed, electric cars were out of date. 2 During the 20th century, gasoline cars got bigger, heavier and faster. They needed more fuel, and it caused more air pollution. For years, the car makers didn’t worry about pollution. 3 But when people began to realize that there was not enough oil on the earth, they asked car makers to produce more efficient (高效能的) and less polluting cars.
One method of solving the problem was a “hybrid” car (混合动力车). 4 Hybrid cars became popular in the 2000s because gasoline prices went up while prices of hybrid cars went down.
An all-electric car uses no gasoline. The problem, however, is that car batteries (电池) need to be recharged (再充电). 5 Many people are not pleased with it. The government and car makers are working together to develop safe, cheap and useful electric cars. When more and more people have these electric cars in the future, a gasoline station may disappear.
A.That makes electric cars not so suitable for long journeys.
B.Gasoline cars became more popular instead, because they could go farther without stopping.
C.It is a kind of car that ran partly on gasoline and partly on electricity.
D.In the early 1900s, there were more electric cars on the road than gasoline (汽油) cars.
E.They didn’t worry about how much gasoline cars used, either.
F.The development of electric cars is amazing.
【答案】1.D 2.B 3.E 4.C 5.A
【导语】本文主要讲述了电动汽车的发展史。

2.根据“When gasoline prices dropped...electric cars were out of date.”可知,当汽油价格下降,汽车快速发展,电车过时了。那么汽油车应该更受欢迎了。B选项“汽油车反而变得更受欢迎,因为它们可以不停地走得更远。”符合语境。故选B。
3.根据“it caused more air pollution...there was not enough oil on the earth.”可知,汽油车造成了更多的空气污染。多年来,汽车制造商都不担心污染问题,直到他们意识到地球上汽油不够了。此处缺少汽车制造商对汽油不正确的认识。E选项“他们也不担心汽车用了多少汽油。”符合语境。故选E。
4.根据“One method of solving...car.”可知,解决这个问题的一种方法是混合动力汽车。此处应该阐述什么是混合动力汽车。C选项“这是一种一部分靠汽油,一部分靠电的汽车。”符合语境。故选C。

It seems to me that families used to eat more meals together. 1 There’s often a TV nearby, or someone’s talking on a cell phone or texting during dinner.
2 We’d wait for everyone to get home, and then we’d all sit down together. During dinnertime conversation, everyone had a chance to talk. Back then, I was a little quiet, so my dad would often ask me to talk about my day. 3
Speaking of taking turns, all of us kids used to take part in either preparing the meal or cleaning up. Sometimes my mom would let me help her in the kitchen. 4 We’d always have fresh food—no fast food or take out.
Now, I won’t pretend (假装) our mealtimes were completely perfect. We used to fight all the time, and sometimes kick each other under the table. 5 Nobody knew exactly what “or else” meant, but we didn’t want to risk finding out.
These days, it seems like families have little time together, especially at mealtimes. However, I wonder if those families know what they’re missing.
A.And it’s the same now.
B.That’s how we learned to share and take turns.
C.I’d wash and cut up vegetables, or things like that.
