Electric vehicles (电动汽车) or EVs recently have become more and more popular. Technological improvements, especially batteries (电池), make EVs rather than gas cars become more people’s first choice.
Mueller, an expert in studying cars, explains why they are the future of cars. He writes, “I think EVs are the future. They have better torque (扭转力), acceleration (加速) and better control.”
Best of all, you never have to visit a gas station. Every morning your car is charged (充电) and ready to go. And if you are worried about miles they can cover, that’s not necessary. Almost all trips can be done in an EV with a proper battery. And fast chargers along the way make it possible to do longer road trips if necessary.
Besides, it’s clean technology: a traditional gas car causes more than twice as carbon (碳) pollution as an EV. Even in places that get almost all of their electricity from burning coal (煤), an EV still pollutes less than a typical traditional gas car. Supposing a 10-year service life, a traditional car will let out 66,000 pounds more carbon pollution than an electric vehicle.
Human science technology is always moving forward. However, some challenges still remain about EVs. According to the present situation of EVs, scientists and researchers still have a long way to go.
29.EVs have become more popular than gas cars thanks to ________.
A.technological improvements B.social development
C.lower prices D.beautiful appearance
30.What can we know from the 4th paragraph?
A.EVs are always cleaner than gas cars.
B.Electricity is from burning coal in China.
C.A gas car causes less pollution than an EV.
D.A traditional car lets out 6,600 pounds of carbon a year.
31.What can be the best title for this text?
A.The Future of EVs in China B.EVs and Environmental Protection
C.EVs: The Future of Cars D.EVs Makes Our Life Better
C
People can travel without much money by staying in other people’s house. Sometimes the travelers may sleep for a few nights on other people’s couch (沙发) for free. This way of travelling is called couch surfing.
Couch Surfing.org is an organization that connects travelers all around the world. Members of it can find a place to stay when they travel or share their homes and hometowns with travelers from other places. In this way strangers can help strangers in order to make the world a better place.
The organization has millions of members in 238 different countries and it has changed the way of travel forever. Jamie from Australia has traveled in this way all over the world. “When I traveled before, I used to find a cheap hotel to save money, now I stay in really nice houses and apartments. But the best thing isn’t the free-living condition; it’s the people you meet. A couch surfing host will usually cook you a meal which helps break the ice. Then they’ll often introduce you to their friends and take you to the places they enjoy. Couch surfing allows you to experience a country and its culture.”
Why do people agree to let a stranger sleep on their couch? Delphine, an experienced host from Paris, has an answer. “They say that money makes the world go round but I try to help people go round the world without much money!” She says with a smile. So far, she has received more than 100 travelers. “I enjoy meeting people from different cultures and I’ve made friends from all over the world,” says Delphine, who is also a professional cook. “And of course, I like sharing French food with them. Usually, my guests love trying it but I’ve had problems sometimes. Once I cooked roast lamb for a guest but unfortunately, when she got here, she told me she was only used to eating vegetables!”
The idea of travelling for free has even been made into a TV series. Alex and Zsolt from the US set out without any money at all. They relied on social networking websites like Facebook and Twitter to ask for help. They say, “Wherever we went, we were always provided with food. All over the world, food is a common bond (纽带).” They travelled sixteen different countries and the results were turned into the TV show Around the World for free.
32.What can you know about couch surfing?
A.It’s an organization that provides cheap hotels.
B.It’s a way for people to make money with their couches.
C.Travelers may travel with less money with strangers’ help.
D.Travelers consider it the most important way to travel today.

C.She expects to make more friends.
D.She wants to help people go round the world.
34.Alex discovered that all over the world ________.
A.food brings people together
B.it’s not easy to travel without money
C.people enjoy their free-living condition
D.a host usually cooks a meal to break the ice

The living environment has also improved. The sky is bluer and the water is clearer. The roads are wider and the trees are greener. What’s more, the traffic becomes more convenient because there is an airport, a high-speed rail station, superhighways, railway stations and so on.
