Its an interesting and exciting new improvement in todays world as we look for better ways to protect the quality of the air we breathe and save our natural resources.The quality of our air is affected by many different things. But one of the largest sources of air pollution is the burning of fossil fuels such as coal and gasoline which is used to power a cars engine. The EPA has set national standards to help control the level of harmful pollutants sent off into the air, and the automobile industry has acted by producing a hybrid car that uses less gas and therefore causes less pollution.A hybrid car is a combination of a regular car that runs on gasoline and an electric car that is battery powered. Some people tend to think that since the hybrid car is partially electric, you have to plug it in to charge it. But thats not how it works. The 144 volt battery pack is actually recharged through the energy that is produced when the cars brakes are used. This is referred to as regenerative braking, because it produces electricity.Although the hybrid car still runs on gasoline most of the time, this helps it use less gas than a regular car. When the driver stops at a traffic light, the engine automatically shuts off to save fuel. Then, as soon as the driver puts the car in gear and touches the gas pedal, the engine starts back up.Have you ever ridden in a car with someone who ran out of gas? That probably wouldnt happen if you were riding in a hybrid car. It flashes a warning on its computer screen that says, I am low on gas. When it completely runs out, the warning reads, YOU ARE NOW OUT OF GAS! Then the electric power supply kicks in to let the driver travel a few more miles to a gas station.（1）Which of the following is true according to the passage? A . The hybrid car will be put on the market.B . Hybrid cars run faster than regular cars.C . When the hybrid car stops at a traffic light, the driver will get a warning.D . The burning of fossil fuels is one of the largest sources of air pollution.（2）According to the passage, the word hybrid refers to _. A . a high-tech discoveryB . energy savingC . a new inventionD . a combination of two things（3）Regenerative breaking is an important process of the hybrid car because _. A . it allows the car to come to a quick stopB . it gives the driver a smoother rideC . it produces energy to charge the batteryD . it can control the speed of the car（4）Which of the following is the reason for developing hybrid cars? A . They use less gas than regular cars.B . Theyre safer to drive than most cars.C . Theyre more modern than other cars.D . They cost less than regular cars.24. （18分）根据短文内容，回答问题。Liu Mingxiao, 13, is a pretty and smart girl. She comes top in her class. But many students try to stay away from her because her mother has AIDS(艾滋病). Lius father has died of AIDS. But Liu didnt get it.AIDS means fear(惧怕)for most people. “Nobody wants to play games with me. They call me bad names behind my back. Even a teacher who used to like me turns her back on me now. It makes me feel sad.” said Liu.Lius mother didnt know what happened to her daughter until one day Liu came back home with her nose bleeding(流血的)，“ She fought with a boy who said something bad about her father.” said Lius mother. “My heart really hurts. My daughter did nothing wrong!”For many of these children, the biggest problem they now face is how other people look at them. Many of them have to drop out of school(辍学)because they can no longer stand others indifference(冷漠).“People are afraid of AIDS because they know little about it,” said Wang Chongrun, head of a group to help children living with AIDS. Wang went to the villages and gave lessons about AIDS to the people there.“Many of these children are just as healthy as others,” Wang said.“Even if they have AIDS, its still safe to eat and play with them. They need our love and understanding. A friendly smile means a lot to them!”（1）判断正误Nobody wants to play games with Liu Mingxiao because she comes top in her class.（2）Is it safe to eat and play with the people who have AIDS? （3）Why do many children whose parents have AIDS leave school? （4）People _AIDS because they know little about it, （5）翻译划线的句子。 四、 单词拼写 (共1题；共10分)25. （10分）根据短文内容及所给首字母提示写出所缺单词, 并将完整单词填在下面对应题号后的横线上。Air is very important to everything that lives.
