Then answer the questions below .Circle the letter (15pts): Most of us are aware that the cars and trucks that we drive today powered by a resource that will eventually be used up.Oil, from which we derive gasoline, is a nonrenewable resource, and while experts disagree about how much longer world supplies of it will last ,it’s inevitable that eventually we’ll need to find other ways to power automobiles. HEVs ,or Hydrid eclectric vehicles provide a practical alternative to traditional gasonline- powered automobiles. The word hybrid refers to something that is a mixture of two or more things . HEVs are automobiles that run on both gaoline and electricity.At low speeds with frequent stops , such as on a city street, the HEV runs on the more effient electric motor . To save energy, the engine automatically shuts off when the vehicles comes to a stop, such as at the traffic light, and restarts when the driver puts the car in motion. At the medium or high speeds typical or highway driving ,HEV operates on its more powerful gasonline engine. The electric motor provides additional power as needed to help the gasoline engine to increase speed or climbs hills. This allows a smaller, more efficient gasoline engine to be used .As a result , HEVs use about half as much gasoline as traditional vehicles. There are also immediate environmental benefits to driving HEVs. Electricity, unlike gasonline , is a clean energy source that does not release harmful gases into the air. Because HEVs use only half as much gasonline as traditional vehicles, they create about half as much pollution.Moreover, the electricity used by HEVs can be generated by renewable recources such as solar and geothermal energy. If you’re still not convinced that HEVs are a good option, then consider the personal advantages to buying this type of vehicle. First of all, HEVs are generallt only sightly more expensive than traditional automobiles. With gas prices rising almost daily,imagine the gas ub your car lasting you twice as long. You could cut your gas expenses in half. In addition, some government offer special tax deductions to owners of HEVs. Most major carmakers are now producing hydrid option of some of their most popular vehicles models. Based on their growing popularity, it looks like HEVs may be the next big thing in stransportation technology. 1.It;s important that people reduce their consumption of………………… A. geothermal energy B.pollution C.Nonrenewable recources 2.hydrid vehicles get their power from………… A.Waste B.solar energy C.more than one source 3.HEVs help protect the environment because…… A. they are powered by nonrenewable resources B.They reduce pollution C.They are made from recycled materials 4.Vehicles powered by both electricity and gasonline………… A.don’t create air pollution B.Are more efficient C. Are cheaper to buy than tradional cars 5. Drivers of HEVs have to fill up their gas tank……………. Drivers of traditionak vehicles.
