A After years of research and test, the hybrid car was developed and put on the market. It’s an interesting and exciting new improvement in today’s quality of the air we breathe and save our natural resources.

The quality of our air is affected by many different things. But one of the largest sources of air pollution is the burning of fossil fuels such as coal and gas which are used to power a car’s engine. The EPA has set national standards to help control the level of harmful pollutants sent off into the air, and the automobile industry has acted by producing a hybrid car that uses less gas and therefore causes less pollution.

A hybrid car is a combination of a regular car that runs on gas and an electric car that is battery powered. Some people tend to think that since the hybrid car is partly electric, you have to plug it in to charge it. But that’s not how it works. Through the energy that is produced when the car’s brakes are used. This is referred to as “regenerative braking（再生制动）,”

because it generates electricity.

Although the hybrid car still runs on gas most of the time, this help it use less gas than a regular car. When a driver stops at a traffic light, the engine automatically shuts off to save fuel. Then, as soon as the driver puts the car in gear（处于正常工作状态）and touches the gas pedal, the engine starts back up.

Have you ever ridden in a car with someone who ran out of gas? That probably wouldn’t happen if you were riding in a hybrid car. It flashed a warning reads: “ YOU ARE NOW OUT OF GAS!” Then the electric power supply energy in to let the driver travel a few more miles to a gas station.

A．a high-tech discovery B．energy-saving C．a new invention D．a new kind for the combination of two things

A．it allows the car to come to a quick stop B．it makes the car ride smoother

C．it generates energy to charge the electric motor D．it can control the speed of the car

58．The EPA is important to our environment because __________.

A．they designed hybrid cars B．they forbade the burning of fossil fuels

C．they set important rules that help control pollution D．their main purpose is to produce non-polluting cars

59．Which of the following is the reason for developing hybrid cars?

A．They use less gas than regular cars. B．They’re safer to drive than most cars.
