Todays cars are smaller, safer, cleaner, and more economical than their predecessors, but the
car of the future will be far more pollution-free than those on the road today. Several new types of automobile
engines have already been developed to run on (1)______ (alternate) sources of power, such as electricity,
(2)______(compress) natural gas, methanol, steam, hydrogen, and propane. Electricity, however, is the only
zero-emission option presently available.
Although electric vehicles will not be (3)______(true) practical until a powerful, compact battery
or other (4)______(depend) source of current is available, transport experts foresee a new (5)______(assort)
of electric vehicles entering everyday life: shorter-range commuter electric cars, (6)______(three-wheel)
neighborhood cars, electric delivery vans, bikes and trolleys. As automakers work to develop practical
electrical vehicles, urban planners and utility engineers are focusing on (7)______(structure) systems to
support and make the best use of the new cars. Public charging facilities will need to be as common as todays
gas stations. Public parking spots on the street or in commercial lots will need to be equipped with devices that
allow drivers to charge their batteries while they stop, dine, or attend a concert. To encourage the use of electric
vehicles, the most convenient parking in (8)______(transport) centers might be reserved for electric cars.
Planners foresee electric shuttle buses, trains, buses and neighborhood vehicles all meeting at
transit centers that would have facilities for charging and renting. Commuters will be able to rent a
(9)______(vary) of electric cars to suit their needs: light trucks, one-person three-wheelers, small cars, or
electric/ gasoline hybrid cars for longer trips, which will no doubt take place on (10)______(automate) freeways
capable of handling five times the number of vehicles that can be carried by freeway today.

WORLD ISSUES
Over the past thirty years or so, the methods used for collecting money from the public to aid the
developing world have changed out of all recognition, (1)______, and the increasing awareness among the
population that something must be done. At the beginning of this period, it would be common to put money in a
collecting box, perhaps on the street or at church, or to receive a small flag to wear in a lapel. The 1960s saw
the development of shops (2)______, donated by the public, and which also began to sell articles manufactured
in the developing world in projects set up by the parents charity, to guarantee a fair income to local people.
The next development was probably the charity event, (3)______ to run, cycle, swim, etc. and collected
money from friends and relatives according to how far or long they managed to keep going. The first hint of what
was to become the most successful means of raising money was charity record, where the artists donated their
time and talent, and the process from sales went to a good cause. This was perhaps a reflection of the fact that
young people felt increasingly concerned about the obvious differences between life in Europe and the United
States, and that in most of Africa and Asia, (4)______, besides being clearly shown on television. The problems
were becoming hard to avoid, (5)______. Why was so little being done? The huge success of Band Aid, and
subsequent televised concerts, reflected the power of the media and of music in particular, but also differed in
style from other events. People phoned up in their thousands on the day and pledged money by quoting their
credit card numbers. After all, if you have enough money to buy CDs and a stereo player, you can afford
something for the worlds starving children.
A. with the money donated by the public
III. Fill in each numbered blank with one suitable word. Write your answer in the space provided.
There came a time, maybe 20,000 years ago, when man, instead of (1)______ merely a hunter, started to
domesticate animals. The dog helped in his hunting activities, geese and ducks were kept and bred as a source
of food, (2)______ was easier than (3)______ to go out and hunt them. Once humans had domesticated
animals, they turned their (4)______ to plants. Instead of being nomads, drifting from place to place following
the game animals, they began to create farms and thus enter (5)______ more settled way of life. Villages and
towns sprang up in places where previously (6)______ had been only a hamlet. Now animals and plants began
to be kept not merely for food, but also for interests sake or for their beauty.
The first writers on animal life was Aristotle, in 33 BC, and Pliny, in 75 AD, but for many hundreds of years
after Pliny the subjects of natural history, in common with many (7)______areas of knowledge, hardly
progressed at all. For the most part such zoos as existed were in the hands of the dilettante nobility and were no
more than second-rate menageries, without (8)______ scientific purpose.
However, in the seventeenth century, naturalists began to realize that they needed a system (9)______
classifying living things because as more plants and animals were discovered, it was difficult to (10)______
track of them all.
