Have you ever ridden a bike in the sun It might make you feel a little hot.However,riding on a cycle path(自行车道)in a sunny area could be fun.In the town of Krommenie,you can find a special cycle path that can create energy by using the sun.
This 70-meter-long cycle path was built with solar panels(太阳能电池板)into it.These panels take in light from the sun’s rays.Then they use the light to create electricity,which can power street lights.The electricity can also go straight into the electrical grid(电网)to offer electricity for daily use.In the first year,this short path was creating enough energy to power one house for a whole year!
This kind of path hasn’t been widely built because scientists are still doing research to test the safety of it.They must make sure the path is strong enough for cars,buses and even trucks to drive over it.They must also make sure the path isn’t too smooth because being too smooth could be a little dangerous.Bike riders may fall easily while riding on it.
In another town called Eindhoven,you can also find a cycle path which uses solar energy to make art.It’s about 1 kilometer long.The path opened in 2014.It is made up of thousands of tiny lights.The lights take in the sun during the day and shine bright at night like stars.These lights come together like a beautiful picture.Every year,many tourists visit it and take photos there.
It’s fantastic and creative to use the sun.
根据语篇内容,判断下列句子正(T)误(F)。
(T)1.The solar panels were built into the 70-meter-long cycle path.
