"With the price of gasoline and with the problems with clean air,it's important we get electric vehicles out on the road."
On California roads there are about two thousand electric cars．By 2003,ten percent of all new cars may be required to have zero emissions．This is a mandate automakers say it is way ahead of its time.
Gloria Bergquist of the Alliance of Auto Manufacturers says,"The technology(for zero emissions)isn't here yet;it still needs advancement in driving range to make it more appealing to a wider consumer audience."
Auto makers blame it on the batteries．Power runs out on most cars after about 70 miles．However,some cars can now go more than 100 miles on a charge．Batteries are expensive．Carmakers say there is nothing they can do about it.
Tim Carmichael of the Clean Air Coalition says,"The automakers have not built a vehicle unless required to do so,so it's very important for the state to stay committed to this program requiting automakers to build small amounts in beginning years and then the market will take off."

Passage FourOne evening Mr. Green was driving home along a lonely country road. He had ￡ 100.00 in his pock et. At the loneliest part of the road, a man asked for a lift (搭车). Mr. Green told him to get into the car and continued his driving. When he talked to the man and learned that the man had been in prison for robbery and had broken out of prison two days before, Mr. Green was very worried.Suddenly he saw a police-car and had a bright idea. He just reached a small town where the speed limit (限制速度) was 30 miles an hour. But he drove the car as fast as it could go. He looked back and saw that the police-car had begun to chase (追) him. After a mile or so the police-car overtook (赶上) him and ordered him to stop. A policeman got out and came to Mr. Green's car. Mr. Green hoped that he could tell the policeman about the escaped robber, but he felt the man had put a gun against his back. The policeman took out his notebook and pencil, saying he wanted Mr. Green's name and address. Mr. Green asked to be taken to the police station, but the policeman said, "No, you will have to appear at the police station later." Mr. Green had to do as the policeman told him. The policeman wrote his name and address down, put his notebook and pencil back in his pocket and gave Mr. Green a talk about dangerous driving. Then Mr. Green started up his car again and drove on.Just as he reached the outskirts (郊区) of London, the passenger said, "! want to get off here." Mr. Green stopped the car, the man got out and said, "Thanks for the lift. You've been good to me. This is the least I can do in return (报答)." And he handed Mr. Green the policeman's notebook, which he stole while the policeman was talking to Mr. Green.46. The man asking for a lift was ______.A. a robber who robs driversB. a policeman who had worked in prisonC. a prisoner who had escaped from prisonD. a stranger with ￡ 100.00 in his pocket

As far back as he could remember,Larry had longed to go to Hollywood and become a film star．The young man's hopes for success were broken again and again,however．Hollywood just did not seem interested．When he first came to California Larry had decided never to give up and return home without success．Therefore,he kept on trying．Someday,he told himself,his big opportunity would come.Larry found a job parking cars for one of Hollywood's big restaurants．His pay was basic,but since the guests were kind enough to give him more money,he managed to make a living.One day he recognized an important film director driving into the parking lot and getting out of his car．Larry had recently heard that the man was ready to make a new picture.Larry got into the car and prepared to drive it on into the lot and park it．Then he stopped,jumped out,and ran over to the director．"Excuse me,sir,but I think it's only fair to tell you that it's now or never if you want me in your next picture．A lot of big companies are after me."Instead of pushing away the boy,the director got interested in Larry's words and stopped．"Yes?Which companies?"he asked."Well,"replied the boy,"there's the telephone company,the gas company,and the electric company,to tell you only a few."The director laughed,then wrote something on a card and handed it to the young man．"Come and see me tomorrow."Larry got a small part in the director's next film．He was on his way!He was on his wayrefers to the fact that__.A.he gave up and returned homeB.he began to work towards successC.he took a journey to HollywoodD.he had difficulties in playing the small part
Text 3 Olivia Pedersen thought the Nissan Leaf parked outside her favourite lunch spot near Emory University,must be hers.But she could not open the door.Nor could she open the door of the identical Leaf behind it.Cautiously,she tried the third Leaf in line and happily drove away.More than 14,000 electric vehicles are now registered in Georgia;California is Lhe only state with more.But the juicy state incentives for buying ihem are coming under aUack.Residents can claim an income-tax credit for 20%of the cost of leasing or purchasing an electric vehicle,up to$5,000.Combined with a possible federal tax incentive worth$7,500,savvy Georgians are driving all the way to the bank in nearly-free electric cars.Nissan sells more of its Leaf models in Adanta than in any other city,according to Don Francis from Georgia,which promotes the use of cars like these.Such trends motivated Chuck Martin,a representative in Georgia's House,to sponsor a bill to end state incentives for electric vehicles.He argues that the income-tax credit costs too much-about$13.6m in 2013-and that only urban types benefit from these sorts of cars.Mr Martin's bill was voted down in committee in February,but seems to be still breathing.Another House bill,mostly to finance transport projects,would reduce the credits;it is now before the Senate.Fans of electric vehicles say Ceorgia now leads the country in clean transport.Local power companies have helped by offering off-peak prices of l.3 cents per kilowatt hour for charging the cars at night.And the sales tax levied on this power stays in the state,whereas cash spent on petrol largely goes elsewhere,says Jeff Cohen,founder of the Atlanta Electric Vehicle Development Coalition.Cutting the credits alLogether might also harm Georgia in other ways.A study by Keybridge Public Policy Economics,a consultancy,says the stale could lose$252m by 2030 if they disap-pear and people buy gas-guzzlers instead.That is because drivers will spend$714m on petrol to get around（in contrast with the$261m they would have paid in electricity bills）,and will no longer fritter away their savings from the federal electric-vehicle tax crediL in Georgia's shops.But the state's incentives may be safe in the legislature after all;the president of the Senate drives an electric car himself.A study suggests that cutting the credits in Georgia might______A.boost economic growthB.do harm to the marketC.reduce vehicle salesD.lead to greater loss

根据以下材料，回答There is little debate about the firstdevelopment of the energy system of the 22nd century--that most of the energyproduced on a large scale will be in the form of electric power. Thus, most presentconcepts for major long-term energy sources (solar, geothermal, fusion) are basedupon electric power production at central plants.The second major development is thepotential use of hydrogen as both a basic fuel to replace natural gas and aspart of a general system to convert, store and transmit electric energy overlong district by fuel cells, or it could be used directly as a fuel forcommercial, industrial or transportation purposes.Although hydrogen seems likely to play amajor role in the future as a form of energy transport and storage, other processesmay also be useful. Here we note only two possibilities.Flywheels: It appears to be workable toconstruct flywheels of almost any needed size that would be efficientconverters (93-95 percent) in first storing and then releasing electric power.In addition, the kinetic (动力的) energy ofrotation is easily converted to alternating electric power. But the engineeringis at an early stage of development, and a decade or more may pass before this potentialcan be reliably estimated.Batteries and fuel cells: some of the manybatteries being developed today look quite promising. Within a decade or two, abattery-operated electric auto might even become competitive with today′ s vehicles,at least for driving ranges up to 200 miles. An electric automobile would bepollution-free,and would probably be more energy-efficient than theinternal-combustion (内燃) engine.A fuel cell (which may be considered a hydridebattery) with about 40 percent conversion efficiency is expected to enter powerproduction on a large scale within about five years. Unlike steam-poweredgenerators, fuel cells can be made large or small and their efficiency inoperation is essentially independent of the loading. Thus they may avoid mostof the distribution costs of electric power as well as provide pollution-fleepower and offer opportunities for using the "waste heat" effectively.From the passage we can see that thefuel cell might be something ___________.A.with the electric energy stored in itwithout pollutionB.in which chemicals are containedC.in which certain fuels such as hydrogenare filledD.like a small steam generator
