The electric motor gets energy from a controller, which regulates the amount of power, and this is based on the drivers use of an accelerator pedal. The electric car (also known as electric vehicle or EV) uses energy stored in its rechargeable batteries, which are recharged by common household electricity.Unlike a hybrid car, which is fueled by gasoline and uses a battery and motor to improve efficiency, an electric car is powered exclusively by electricity. Historically, EVs have not been widely adopted because of limited driving range before needing to be recharged, long recharging time, and a lack of commitment by automakers to produce and market electric cars that have all the comforts of gaspowered cars. Thats changing. As battery technology improves by simultaneously increasing energy storage and reducing cost, major automakers are expected to introduce a new generation of electric cars.Electric cars produce no tailpipe emissions, reduce our dependency on oil, and are cheaper to operate. Of course, the process of producing the electricity moves the emissions further upstream to the utility companys smokestack, but even dirty electricity used in electric cars usually reduce our collective carbon footprint.Another factor is convenience. In one trip to the gas station, you can pump 330 kilowatthours of energy into a 10gallon tank. It would take about 9 days to get the same amount of energy from household electric current. Fortunately, it takes hours and not days to recharge an electric car, because the process is much more efficient.Just as the major car companies were reducing their electric car programs in 2004 and 2005, the perfect storm was brewing on the horizon: a combination of growing acceptance of global warming, oil price increases and runaway sales of the Toyota Prius, a hybrid car which uses gas and electricity. The major auto companies went right back to the drawing board and emerged with big plans for electric cars. As global oil supplies are used up and oil becomes more and more expensive, electric cars are the logical and ecological alternative for the future.()58. Which of the following was a reason why electric cars were not popular?A. Electric cars were not comfortable. B. Electric cars were much more expensive.C. Automakers failed to market electric cars. D. Recharging electric cars took a long time.()59. The main purpose of the text is to _A. show readers how hybrid cars workB. persuade readers to buy electric carsC. give readers information about electric carsD. prove that electric cars are superior to gasoline cars()60. Whats the writers attitude towards the future of electric cars?A. Negative. B. Positive. C. Objective. D. Doubtful.CCoffee lovers and green tea enthusiasts, unite! A new study out of Japan shows that people who drink both beverages every day have a lower risk of stroke than those who drink just one or the other (or neither)Researchers have been touting(宣称) the antioxidant(抗氧化剂) properties of green tea for years, and recent studies show that your daily coffee fix boosts more than just your energy levels. But putting the two drinks togethernot in the same cup, of coursemay help you reap the health benefits of both.Researchers looked at the coffee and tea consumption habits of almost 82，369 Japanese adults over 13 years and found that people who had a cup of coffee every day were 20 percent less likely to have a stroke (compared to those who didnt drink coffee at all). But thats not to say that coffee is better for you than tea. In fact, the study noted that people who drank four or more cups of green tea a day were also about 20 percent less likely to have a stroke. Since the two drinks help prevent strokes in different ways, drinking both can lower your risk of stroke more than just drinking one or the other, the study authors explained.“This is the first largescale study to examine the combined effects of both green tea and coffee on stroke risks，” the studys lead author, Dr Yoshihiro Kokubo of Japans National Cerebral and Cardiovascular Center, said in a statement. “You may make a small but positive lifestyle change to help lower the risk of stroke by adding daily green tea to your diet.”The study was published this week in the American Heart Associations journal, Stroke. The results took into account differences in participants age, gender, smoking, alcohol, weight, diet, and exercise habits.According to the National Stroke Association, a stroke occurs when a blood clot(血块) blocks an artery in the brain, or when a blood vessel breaks, causing an interruption of blood flow to the brain. Brain cells begin to die, damaging the brain and affecting the actionsusually speech, movement, and memorycontrolled by the part of the brain where the stroke has occurred.“The regular action of drinking tea and coffee largely benefits cardiovascular(心血管的) health because it partly keeps blood clots from forming，” Kokubo explained.Green tea can have an antiinflammatory effect on the body. It also contains compounds known as catechins, which can help regulate blood pressure and improve blood flow, Kokobo told National Public Radio. And coffee has more to it than just caffeineit also contains quinides, compounds that can help control blood sugar, which cuts your risk of stroke by reducing your risk of Type 2 diabetes. The researchers wrote that the “combination of higher green tea and coffee consumptions contributed to the reduced risk of stroke as an interaction effect for each other，” The Daily Mail reported.Given that tea and coffee are consumed regularly in many countries, the results of the study could apply to people around the world, the researchers wrote. Americans may already be drinking enough coffee and tea to get the benefits: A typical cup of coffee or tea in Japan is just 6 ounces, while a grand coffee at Starbucks is 16 ounces.()61. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A. If you like you may mix green tea and coffee together and drink it.B. Coffee is better than green tea in reducing the risk of having a stroke.C. Green tea and coffee are probably the best treatment for stroke.D. Drinking tea and coffee regularly can do good to cardiovascular health.()62. Which of the following is the new finding of the recent research?A. Tea and Coffee function differently for peoples health.B. Americans drink more coffee and tea daily than Japanese.C. Green tea contains antioxidant which is good for preventing strokes.D. Coffee contains caffeine and catechins which can help control blood sugar.()63. The underlined word “boosts”
