2013高考英語（閱讀理解）25分鐘沖刺訓(xùn)練（2） 及答案解析 (第*篇)After years of research and testing, the hybrid car was developed and put on the market. It s an interesting and exciting new improvement in today s world as we look for better ways to protect the quality of the air we breathe and conserve 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 car s 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 144volt 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 generates 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 wouldn t happen if you were riding in a hybrid car. It flashes a waming 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.語篇解讀本文主要介紹了一種新型汽車hybrid cars的優(yōu)點(diǎn)和生產(chǎn)這種汽車的原因。1Which of the following is true according to the passage?A.
