21、Who could have imagined that a treadmill(跑步机)on wheels would one day become a thing?!? Lopifit is an unusual means of transportation that allows you to power an electric bicycle by walking on a treadmill.
Lopifit founder Bruin Bergmeester says it all started when he asked himself the question “How can I use a treadmill outdoors?” He finally came up with a new design, adding an electric motor, and the Lopifit was born. It’s similar to an electric bicycle in that the motor only works when the rider puts power in as well. The Lopifit senses when you walk on the treadmill and uses the motor to turn a drive chain at the back of the treadmill, helping you reach a top speed of 17 miles per hour.
To use the Lopifit, simply turn on the battery(电池)and use your foot to slide the treadmill backwards and start the motor. Then get on and enjoy the ride! If you need speed, just walk on the treadmill, and if you want to coast(惯性滑行), all you have to do is stay still and admire the view. To stop, you have two hand breaks.
The Lopifit first hit the streets in 2014 and, unsurprisingly, became a hit overnight. That was actually quite challenging for the company, because it started getting calls for orders, but it was nowhere near ready for mass production. The unique treadmill bicycle could be bought this year, and Lopifit is struggling to keep up with demand, although the price is up to $2,115.
Some people consider this means of transportation stupid and unnecessary, although there is a very loyal fan-base of so-called Lopifitters. They simply believe that if you’re going to walk, you might as well do it the old-fashioned way.
But the Lopifit does have the special advantage of helping you “walk” really fast without much effort, or walking at cycling speed, if you will.
【1】Lopifit is an electric bicycle which ________.
A. can be powered by the drive chain
B. can work without an electric motor
C. works when you walk on the treadmill
D. stops when you slide the treadmill forward
【2】What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?
A. The design of a Lopifit. B. The function of a Lopifit.
C. The structure of a Lopifit. D. The operation of a Lopifit.
【3】What is probably the author’s attitude towards Lopifit?
A. Confident. B. Concerned.
C. Curious. D. Doubtful.
22、Vehicles on our roads are now mostly petrol and diesel (柴油) cars, but their days cannot continue for much longer. A recent university study found that current electric cars could be used for 87 percent of daily car journeys in the US. That figure could rise to 98 percent by 2020.
One hurdle to the widespread adoption of electric cars has been “range anxiety” — drivers’ concerns about running out of electricity on a journey. While petrol stations are conveniently located across national road systems, the necessary network of electric charging stations is still being developed. That said, charging points are becoming increasingly common throughout the USA.
Attitudes towards electric vehicles have changed greatly over the last few years. Not that long ago, electric cars were met with distrust, and their high prices drove customers away. Thanks to improvements in battery capacity, recharging times, performance and price, the current generation of electric cars are starting to persuade picky consumers. Plug-in cars will soon give internal combustion engine (内燃机) models a run for their money.
As well as development on the road, electric vehicles are taking to the seas and skies. Electric boats are among the oldest methods of electric travel, having enjoyed several decades of popularity from the late 19th to the early 20th century before petrol-powered outboard motors took over. Now, the global drive for renewable energy sources is bringing electric boats back. Steps towards electric air travel are also being made, with Airbus and NASA among the organizations developing and testing battery-powered planes. The experiments could soon make commercial electric flight a reality.
Electric vehicles do not produce any emissions (排放). If the US could replace 87 percent of its cars with electric vehicles, it would reduce the national demand for petrol by 61 percent. However, because of the production processes and the generation of electricity required to charge these vehicles, they cannot claim to be completely emission-free. That said, as many countries continue to increase their use of renewable energy sources, electric vehicles will become even cleaner.
【1】What does the underlined word “hurdle” probably mean in Paragraph 2?
A.Obstacle.
B.Intention.
C.Worry.
D.Stage.
【2】What will the future of plug-in cars be like?

B.The high price will put the future of electric cars at risk.

D.They will compete with petrol and diesel cars fiercely for markets.
【3】What can we learn about in Paragraph 4?
A.The history of electric travel.
B.Different ways electric vehicles can be used.
C.Reasons why the world needs more electric cars.
D.The trend that more people have interest in electric cars.
【4】What is a suitable title for the text?
A.Potentials of Petrol and Diesel Cars
B.Challenges Facing Electric Cars
C.A Cleaner Future on the Road
D.Best Means of Transportation

24、Film director James Cameron first became interested in sea exploration when he was a little boy.
