The world’s first fully hydrogen powered (氢动力的) train line has begun running in Germany. The trains make almost no noise and run without 16 . Germany is planning to 17 many of is diesel (柴油) trains with hydrogen trains. Recently, five hydrogen-powered trains were put into use in Germany.
Hydrogen is the simplest known element. It’s so 18 that it can be got without much effort. Hydrogen can be used to create electricity by 19 it with oxygen in a “fuel cell (燃料电池)”. Electricity of the new kind of train will never 20 as long as it has hydrogen. The oxygen comes from the air around the train. The 21 part is that, when a fuel cell creates electricity, it doesn’t create pollution. The only thing it gives off is 22 , which comes out as steam (水蒸气).
The hydrogen-powered trains are 23 by electricity created by hydrogen fuel cells. Because the motor (发动机) is electric, the trains run almost 24 . It’s good for people both inside and outside the trains because a quiet environment is 25 .
