could be used for 87 per cent of daily car journeys in the us. that figure could rise to 98 per cent by 2020.one hurdle to the widespread adoption of electric cars has been range anxiety drivers concerns about running out of juice on a journey. while petrol stations are conveniently located across national road systems, the necessary network of electric charging stations is still being developed. that said, charging points are becoming increasingly common throughout the usa.attitudes towards electric vehicles have changed quite considerably over the last few years. not that long ago, electric cars were met with distrust, and their large price tags（标签） drove customers away. thanks to improvements in battery capacity, recharging times, performance and price, the current generation of electric cars are starting to persuade critics. plug-in cars will soon give internal combustion（燃料） engine models a run for their money.as well as advancements on the road, electric vehicles are taking to the seas and skies. electric boats are among the oldest methods of electric travel, having enjoyed several decades of popularity from the late 19th to the early 20th century before petrol-powered outboard motors took over. now, the global drive for renewable energy sources is bringing electric boats back. steps towards electric air travel are also being made, with airbus and nasa among the organizations developing and testing battery powered planes. the experiments could soon make commercial electric flight a reality.electric vehicles do not produce any emissions. were the us to act on the studys findings and replace 87 per cent of its cars with electric vehicles, it would reduce the national demand for petrol by 61 per cent. however, because of the production processes and the generation of electricity required to charge these vehicles, they cannot claim to be completely emission-free. that said, as many countries continue to increase their use of renewable energy sources, electric vehicles will become even cleaner.9. which is the best title for this passage?a. my dream carb. history of electric carsc. problems with petrol carsd. driving into the future10. as used in paragraph 2, the underlined word “hurdle” means _.a. aimb. barrierc. consequenced. step11. in the past, why did many people refuse to buy the electric cars?a. they were

“.one hurdle to the widespread adoption of electric cars has been range anxiety drivers concerns about running out of juice on a journey.” 可知，电动汽车被广泛采用的一个障碍是“里程焦虑”司机担心在旅途中车会没电。所以根据上下文语境可以判断出。第二段下划线的“hurdle”一词是指barrier“障碍”。故选b项。【11题详解】细节理解题。根据第三段中的第二句“not that long ago, electric cars were met with distrust, and their large price tags drove customers away.” 可知，不久前，电动汽车遭到了不信任，他们的巨额标价把顾客吓跑了，也就是说人们认为电动车太贵了不值得买。所以在过去，为什么许多人拒绝购买电动汽车是因为它们太昂贵了。故选a项。【12题详解】推理判断题。根据第四段的第一句“as well as advancements on the road, electric vehicles are taking to the seas and skies.” 除了公路上（汽车）的进步，电动交通工具正朝着海洋和天空方向发展。由此可知电动交通工具以不同的方式出现在陆路，海上及空中。所以通过关键词“on the road，he seas and skies”可以判断出，第4段的作用是描述电动汽车的不同用途。故选d项。dif you wear glasses, chances are you are smarter.

because something is connected to something else does not mean one of those things caused the other.“仅仅因为某件事与另一件事相联系，并不意味着其中一件事导致了另一件事。”可知划线词的意思是“连接”。故选b。【15题详解】推理判断题。根据第四段a number of studies have
