Cars make our lives more convenient. But they can also be a problem. For example, fossil fuel (化石燃料) cars mainly cause air pollution.
To improve the environment, many countries are developing electric vehicles (EVs, 电动车). Among them, China is taking a leading role and has created the world’s largest EV market.
Last year, over 40 percent of the 753,000 EVs sold in the world were sold in China, more than twice as many as the number sold in the United States.
“Filling up a fossil fuel car with gas (汽油) is more expensive than charging (充电) an electric car,” said Wu Hao, who bought an electric car this year.
However, there are still some problems. It can be hard to find charging piles (充电桩) and the cars can’t go far before needing to be recharged.
Some of these problems are being solved. In 2014, China had 31,000 charging piles. Now China has the world’s largest EV charging network, with more than 167,000 charging piles in total.
Developing EVs is one of many efforts that China has made to cut down pressure on its environment after the government promised to stop increases in carbon dioxide emissions (二氧化碳排放量) by 2030.
“As China goes, so will the world’s car industry,” The Wall Street Journal said. China has taken a leading role in the world’s electric vehicle industry.
1. _______ mainly cause air pollution according to the passage.
A. Subways B. Sharing bikes
C. Electric vehicles D. Fossil fuel cars
2. Over _______ electric vehicles were sold in China last year.
A. 150, 600 B. 167,000 C. 301, 200 D. 753,000
3. What does Wu Hao think of charging an electric car
A. It’s more expensive than filling up a fossil fuel car with gas.
B. It’s less expensive than filling up a fossil fuel car with gas.
C. It’s as expensive as filling up a fossil fuel car with gas.
D. It’s as cheap as filling up a fossil fuel car with gas.
4. Which country has the world’s largest EV charging network now
A. America. B. Germany. C. China. D. England.

A. China has taken a leading role in the world’s electric vehicle industry.

2. B
【解析】句意：——他们结婚多久了 ——大约10年了。
考查现在完成时。根据“For about 10 years”可知用现在完成时，根据marry是瞬间动词，瞬间动词不能与一段时间连用，应变成相应的延续性动词；这句话可用“be married”，故选B。
3. B
【解析】考查固定搭配。A. as a result 结果；B. as a result of 由于，相当于“because of后面接短语。
4. C
【解析】句意：现在许多老人独自待在家里，所以他们经常感觉很孤独。
考查形容词和副词用法。lonely孤独的，形容词，带有感彩；alone独自（的），副词和形容词，不带感彩。根据语境可知“老人在家里”讲述的是一个事实，而“他们感觉很孤独”带有强烈的感彩；第一空修饰动词stay用副词alone，第二空系动词feel后跟形容词lonely作表语，故选C。
5. D
【解析】句意：当我们离开了，你必须照顾好自己。
考查动词短语辨析。look up查阅；look for寻找；look through浏览；look after照顾。根据“When we’re away ...”可推测，人们离开时应该嘱咐对方照顾好自己，故选D。
6. A
【解析】句意：新学期就要到了。学生们正在忙于打扫教室。
本题考查动词的ing形式。A. cleaning动名词或现在分词；B. cleans第三人称单数形式；C. to clean动词不定式；D. clean动词原形。根据前句The new term is coming.可知，根据固定短语be busy doing sth. 忙于做某事。可知，此空故填cleaning，故选A。

【解析】句意：他把所有的钱都用光了，所以他买不起别的东西。
A. provide提供，供应；B. afford 买得起，承担得起；C. support支持，拥护； D. offer主动提出，提供。根据前半句He has used up all of his money他把所有的钱都用光了，空前can’t可知，此空是买得起，此空故填afford，故选B。

【解析】画线部分意为“除此之外”，what’s more与其意思相近。
9. A
【解析】句意：过去我们的娱乐活动很贫乏，我们没有电视电脑，甚至收音机。

10. B
【解析】句意：——你今天的生活怎么样？——非常棒。
考查情景交际。A.我喜欢简单的生活；B.非常棒；C.我们很无聊；D.它喜欢阅读。What is sth. like句型意为“……怎么样”，答句应该对主语进行描述，问句主语是your life，只有B项的描述合适，故选B。

1. B句意：就像大部分的技能一样，它需要耐心。
costs花费；needs需要；spends花费；wants想要。根据上下文可知，想要交朋友必须要有耐心，用needs最合适，故选B。
2. C句意：独自待在家里你交不到朋友。

3. A句意：加入俱乐部或团体，跟那些和你喜欢同样事情的人交谈要容易得多。
as和……一样；that那个；which哪个；what什么。根据“Joining a club or group …”可知，加入俱乐部或团体应该是寻找共同兴趣爱好的人，所以那些人喜欢的事情和你一样，用as，故选A。

shy害羞；excited激动；afraid害怕；worried担心。根据“... when talking to new people.”可知，对于不会交朋友的人来说，跟陌生人讲话会让他们感觉害羞，故选A。
5. D句意：毕竟面对陌生人意味着接触未知的事物。
At all根本；For all为了所有；In all总共；After all毕竟。根据上下文可知本句解释了上文许多人害羞的原因，这里用After all有让步的意义，表示“毕竟，归根结底”，故选D。
6. C句意：有点担心未知的事物，这是人类的天性。
unhappy不高兴；usual通常的；worried担心的；unlucky不幸运的。根据下文“Most of fears ...”可知，人类对于未知事物是担心害怕的，be worried about对……担心，故选C。

8. D句意：面对陌生人的害怕大部分来自于怀疑我们自己。
yourself你自己；himself他自己；yourselves你们自己；ourselves我们自己。根据下文的We imagine可知，这里隐含的主语是We，反身代词要用ourselves，故选D。

even when甚至当……的时候；even if尽管；as if似乎；what if如果……怎么办。根据“Try to act self-confident ...”可知，努力表现自信是因为自己并不自信，用even if引导让步状语从句，表示“虽然，尽管”，故选B。
10. C句意：当你走进一个全是陌生人的房间，努力表现得自信，尽管你不是那么感觉的。
come来；go去；enter进入；step to无此用法。come和go是不及物动词，表示“到达某地”时，不能直接接地名，step to无此用法，故选C。
