ECO-friendly technology was the hottest trend at the 39th Tokyo Motor Show, which opened last Friday.

    About 240 car manufacturers from 13 countries presented new models. Most were powered by hybrid（混合的），fuel cell（燃料電池） and electrical systems. Carmakers are championing more environmentally models amid increasing oil prices and environmental concerns.

   “It’s now carmakers’ social responsibility to protect the environment,” said Mazda president Hisakazu Imaki.

    Seventy-nine cars and motorcycles are being presented to the public for the first time, according to the Japan Automobile Manufacturers Association.

   The organizing association said the biennial（兩年一次的） show, due to end on November6,was sure to have a large impact on the automobile industry.

    Manufacturers are currently competing in the shift from gasoline-run engines to hybrid, fuel cell or electricity-powered systems.

    Mazda has a new sports vehicle, which runs on a hybrid electric-petrol system. It is also showing a gasoline-hydrogen run sports car.

    A member of the Ford family, Mazda plans to market a hybrid version of the Tribute sport utility vehicle (SUV) next spring and enhance its co-operation with Ford in hybrid systems development.

Honda’s fuel cell sedan（轎車） on show uses a hydrogen-oxygen fuel. The system only sends water out its exhaust（尾氣），a better solution for the environment and less polluting than hybrids.

53. What would be the best title for the passage?

 A. New Car Trend               B. Tokyo Motor Show

 C. Eye-catching Cars on Show     D. Tokyo Shows Eco Cars

54. At present, cars are generally powered by____.

 A. electricity    B. fuel cell    C. gasoline or petrol    D. solar cell

55. Which of the following statements is NOT TRUE according to the passage?

 A. Car makers are trying to develop environmentally friendly cars.

 B. The automobile industry will be certainly influenced by the show.

 C. Honda is showing its sedan powered by special water, which causes less pollution.

 D. Mazda will cooperate with Ford to develop hybrid-powered cars.

53 D主旨大意題. 這次東京車展其趨勢和所展出車型大多都是環(huán)保汽車,故題目應(yīng)體現(xiàn)出這一點。

54.C細節(jié)理解題. 由文章第六段可知目前汽車通常以汽油(gasoline/petrol)為燃料驅(qū)動。

55.C 細節(jié)理解題. 這次車展本田展出的轎車使用的是氫-氧燃料,并非將水作為燃料。

From school to band Practice, the Venturi Eclectic is an Earth-friendly way to get where you want to go. This battery-powered, zero-emission (meaning it doesn't pollute the air) vehicle runs mainly on renewable energy. Solar panels on the Eclectic's roof absorb sun rays when you're driving. On windy days, you can connect a machine to the car's roof that collects energy from the wind while you're parked. The Eclectic's top speed is 28 miles an hour; the battery lasts for 31 miles before it needs to be recharged. Zipping (迅速行進) around the neighborhood has never been better.



Here's an eco-friendly way to tell time: Simply fill the Bedol Water-powered Clock's tank (箱) with water, add some lemon juice, and the clock will display the time without the need for environmentally harmful batteries. There are two sets of metal electrodes (電極) inside the water tank. Water contains ions (離子) that carry negative and positive charges. These ions complete a charge between the electrodes, creating enough energy to power the clock. Just refill the tank every few weeks, and this clock will keep on ticking.
Bloodhound SuperSonic Car (SSC) will be the first car to attempt to break the l,000-mile-an-hour barrier. (The current record is 763 miles an hour.) A concept for now, the rocket-shaped car gets its original push to 350 miles an hour from a jet engine. Then a rocket fires up, pushing the SSC past 1,000 miles an hour. In order to keep the car streamlined (流線型的), the driver lies back at a 45-degree angle (角度).
You’re having a blast at your friend’s birthday party. But when it's time to bring out the cake, everyone crowds around, blocking your view. No worries. Throw the Triops into the air, and this clever camera captures the view from above. The Triops can take three pictures at once, each from different angles. You can also record sounds and command the Triops to start shooting whenever it hears that noise. That's one smart camera.
【小題1】What is the common characteristic of the Venturi Eclectic and the Bedol Water-powered Clock?

A．They don't need batteries.B．They are difficult to operate.
C．They can be powered by water.D．They are environmentally friendly.
【小題2】According to the passage, the Venturi Eclectic      .
A．is popular with businessmenB．is suitable for a long trip
C．can turn wind into energyD．has only a little gas emission
【小題3】The underlined phrase “having a blast” in the last paragraph probably means      .
A．looking at a pictureB．enjoying yourself
C．blowing out a candleD．recording sounds
【小題4】Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A．The Triops is sensitive to sounds.
B．The driver of the SSC must be of great size.
C．The color of the Bedol Water-powered Clock is like that of lemon.
D．The SSC doesn’t have anything to do with a rocket actually.
