【答案】8.B9.D10.C11.C

【解析】

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了埃因霍芬理工大学的学生们创造出一款名叫Zem的吸收二氧化碳的电动汽车。

【8题详解】

细节理解题。根据第二段中“Theircar,calledtheZem,isequippedwithaspecialfilter(过滤器)thatcleansuptheCO2producedbyothercarsontheroad.(他们的汽车名为Zem，配备了一种特殊的过滤器，可以清除道路上其他汽车产生的二氧化碳。)”可知，Zem能吸收二氧化碳是因为拥有特殊的过滤器。故选B项。

【9题详解】

推理判断题。根据第三段中“Itsbodypanels(金属板)were3DprintedtoreducewasteandminimizetheproductionofCO2.Recycledplasticswerealsousedthroughouttheoutsideandinside.Thecar’spowertrain,whichconsistsofsmallbatterypacksanda22-kWhmotor,alsomakesuseofregenerativebrakingtoincreaseefficiency.(它的车身金属板是3D打印的，以减少浪费并最大限度地减少二氧化碳的产生。内外都使用了再生塑料。该车的动力系统由小型电池组和一个22千瓦时的电机组成，还利用再生制动来提高效率。)”可知，Zem的制造减少浪费、使用再生材料，利用再生制动提高效率。由此可知，它对环境非常友好。故选D项。

【10题详解】
