Cars of the future?

       When your mobile phone runs out of battery power, all you have to do to get it working again is to charge it up. Imagine if you could do the same thing with your car. Researchers at car companies are developing cars that plug into electric sockets. These vehicles might become the cars of the future.

       The cars are called plug-in hybrids and they get most of their power from electricity, just like other electrical devices like mobile phones and laptops. This technology would significantly reduce the amount of petrol that people use. For countries that depend on other oil-producing countries for their petrol supply this could be a great advantage.

       Presently, most cars use petrol. Unfortunately, burning fossil fuels produces carbon dioxide gas, and when a large amount of this gas and other greenhouse gases are trapped in the Earth's atmosphere, they cause global warming. Hybrid vehicles have already been developed and are being driven. These cars get their power from both petrol and electricity; they are able to travel longer distances with less petrol. Plug-in hybrids will be even more advanced as they are designed to be powered mainly by electricity and use only a small amount of petrol.

       Although this technology appears to offer a solution to our planet's environmental problems, there are still some challenges in getting it to work efficiently. The biggest problem is creating batteries that can store a large amount of energy to run the cars. Plug-in hybrids require a special battery which is very expensive, making the cost of the car very high. In addition, the electricity used to charge plug-in hybrid cars is produced from burning coalthis produces pollution, too. It might be some time before the cars will become available to the public but if they do, it will be a major breakthrough for transport.

1.     According to the text, researchers are developing ….

a. a car that never runs out of battery power.

b. an electric car whose battery can be recharged.

c. a car that does not need a battery.

d. an electric car that doesn't need to be charged.

 

2.     This new technology will be beneficial for ….

a. companies which produce cars.

b. people who don't use much petrol.

c. countries which do not produce oil.

d. oil-producing countries.

 

3.     Hybrid cars

a. get their energy only from electricity.

b. are not yet in use.

c. use less petrol than plug-in hybrids.

d. use a combination of electricity and petrol.

 

4.     What is the greatest difficulty in developing the plug-in hybrid cars?

a. making the appropriate batteries

b. making them environmentally friendly

c. designing the cars to be mainly powered by electricity

d. designing them to run with no batteries

 

5.      According to the writer, what is true about plug-in hybrid cars?

a. They are now available for use.

b. They might never be available to the public.

c. They won't solve the problem of pollution completely.

d. They might make pollution worse.
