阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
Three university students developed the new ecotype bike. It catches the sun’s energy, stores it in batteries and uses it to charge the electric motor. Robert Achoge is one of the student inventors. “Our hope is that by the fifth year, we will be able to cover the whole of Kenya with the electric motorcycle so as to conserve the environment and provide affordable transport.”
The students have set up a charging station for the motorbikes in Nairobi. Riders can plug the bikes into any electrical outlet. The small battery can run for 70 kilometres when fully charged. Once the power is used up, the motorbike has to return to the station while another charged battery is connected to the bike. The US African Development Foundation (USADF) is providing finance for two solar-powered charging stations in the Kenyan port of Kisumu.
Each ecotype bike costs about $700. One taxi operator says the new motorbike costs less to operate than that running on traditional gasoline. “When it comes to buying gasoline, there’s no need. It’s basically good for various things. As long as you won’t take quite a heavy load(装载量), you can go with it anywhere. Otherwise, it may break down halfway. But now people still have a preference to the gas-powered bikes.”
A Nairobi dealership is selling the ecotype bikes. Businessman Kennedy Kusimba hopes they will become popular. We also know they are more reliable compared to the gas-powered bikes.
1.What do we know about the ecotype bike?
A.It was developed by the USADF.
B.Its energy comes from the sunlight.
C.It can charge itself while running.
D.It does more harm to the environment.
2.What do people think of the ecotype bike?
A.It’s better not to use it to carry too much.
B.It is a good choice for the long-distance journey.
C.It will take the place of gas-powered bikes soon.
D.It is much more expensive than a traditional motorbike.
3.Where does the text probably come from?
A.A research plan. B.An advertisement.
C.A government report. D.A science magazine.
A【文章大意】 本文是一篇说明文,肯尼亚第一辆电动摩托车就要上市了,文章介绍了这种摩托车的优势及缺点,这种摩托车使用太阳能,非常环保但装载量小。
1.B 细节理解题。根据第二段第二句“It catches the sun’s energy, stores it in batteries and uses it to charge the electric motor.”可知这种新型的电动摩托车主要使用太阳能。故B项正确。
2.A 细节理解题。根据第四段第五句“‘…As long as you won’t take quite a heavy load (装载量), you can go with it anywhere…’”可知这种电动摩托车不能装载太重的物品。故A项正确。
3.D 推理判断题。肯尼亚第一辆电动摩托车就要上市了,本文主要介绍了这种摩托车的优势及缺点,这种摩托车使用太阳能,非常环保但装载量小。本文不可能是广告、研究计划和政府报告,应该是与发明创造相关的科学杂志里的内容。故D项正确。

The number of buses, taxis and other vehicles on Kenya’s roads is growing every day. Now, the country’s first electric-powered motorbikes are coming into the market. The bike is designed to cut down on pollution and aimed at low-income communities. Most motorbikes used in Kenya depend on gasoline as fuel, but not this new motorbike.Three university students developed the new ecotype bike.
