阅读短文,从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。

    After years of research and testing, the hybrid car was developed and put on the market. It's an interesting and exciting new improvement in today's world as we look for better ways to protect the 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 gasoline which is 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 gasoline and an electric car that is battery powered. Some people tend to think that since the hybrid car is partially electric, you have to plug it in to charge it. But that's not how it works. The 144 volt battery pack is actually recharged through the energy that is produced when the car's brakes are used. This is referred to as "regenerative braking", because it produces electricity.

    Although the hybrid car still runs on gasoline most of the time, this helps it use less gas than a regular car. When the 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 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 flashes a warning on its computer screen that says, "I am low on gas". When it completely runs out, the warning reads, "YOU ARE NOW OUT OF GAS!" Then the electric power supply kicks in to let the driver travel a few more miles to a gas station.

(1)、Which of the following is true according to the passage?
A、The hybrid car will be put on the market. B、Hybrid cars run faster than regular cars. C、When the hybrid car stops at a traffic light, the driver will get a warning. D、The burning of fossil fuels is one of the largest sources of air pollution.
(2)、According to the passage, the word "hybrid" refers to ________.
A、a high-tech discovery B、energy saving C、a new invention D、a combination of two things
(3)、"Regenerative breaking" is an important process of the hybrid car because ________.
A、it allows the car to come to a quick stop B、it gives the driver a smoother ride C、it produces energy to charge the battery D、it can control the speed of the car
(4)、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. C、They're more modern than other cars. D、They cost less than regular cars.
举一反三
      If you are lost in the mountains, stay calm in the face of darkness, loneliness, and the unknown. It will greatly increase your chances of survival. Many people think that preparing necessary equipment and knowing how to use it are very important, but actually eighty percent of mountain survivals is your reaction(反应) to fear.
Find a hiding place.
      Unnecessary efforts will make you sweat and make you cold. Find a hiding place around you before trying to start your own construction. If you are in a snow-covered area, you may be able to dig a cave in deep snow for protection from the wind. You should try to hide yourself in the middle of the mountain if possible. Stay out of valleys—cold air falls, and the valley floor can be the coldest area on the mountain.
Signal rescuers for help.
     The best time to signal rescuers(救援者) is during the day. Signal for help from the highest point possible—it will be easier for rescuers to see you, and any sound you make will farther. If you take a box of matches and a space blanket (a special blanket for traveling), build three smoky fires and put your blanket—gold side facing out—on the ground.
Do not walk away.
    It will make finding you more difficult, as search teams will be trying to follow your path and may miss you if you have gone off in a different direction. Searchers often end up finding a car with no one.
     If you get frostbite(冻伤), do not rewarm the affected area until you're out of danger. You can walk on frostbitten feet, but once you warm the area and can feel the pain, you will not want to walk anywhere. Try to protect the frostbitten area and keep it dry until you are rescued.

Ailing (Eileen) Gu is busy after winning three medals at the Beijing 2022 Olympic Winter Games. 

She talked about singing a song together with Lay Zhang—one of the popular young Chinese singers—on a Dou—on a Douyin live that had over 120. 000. 000 likes in one day. She is also busy writing a book about herself and doing something useful for others. On 15 March, she participated in an activity in Beijing to help children with heart problems, and was the star of an important activity that took place at the Big Air Shougang. 

Eileen sad she not only enjoys skiing, but a so likes running very much. "Running is a little different from skiing because running can be done by everyone. There is no need to all and stand up again. Everyone can enjoy the fun of sports. " And running isn't the only sport that she will keep doing, surfing and skateboarding are next, with soccer and basketball on her list too. "I have always wanted to try surfing and skateboarding, and I also like playing basketball. I haven't played for a long time. I wish I can play a game or a game of soccer. I played soccer quite often when I was a kid. " As she was invited by the Chinese Surfing Team, she could go to the south and enjoy a surf with her good friend on the beaches of Hainan, China.

The Sahara Desert in Northern Africa is the largest hot desert in the world. It is about 1,800km from the north to the south and about 4,800 km from the east to the west. Temperatures can reach 58℃ in the daytime and can fall to ﹣6℃ at night. More than 8,000 years ago,the Sahara was a rich land where farmers grew food and plants grew well. As the rainfall in the area gradually went down every year,it became a huge desert. Most areas of this desert have less than 13 cm of rain every year. 

Gary Smith and a few of his brave friends decided to hike across the Sahara. Supporters in cars,who carried food and water for the group,stayed with them together. 

One day,Smith walked alone and then he couldn't find the rest of the group. Even worse,he could not find out which direction to go. Then a sandstorm covered the area. When the storm was over,Smith was even more worried. In the heat that he couldn't stand,he quickly finished his water. He had to spend that night out in the open,and he almost felt he couldn't survive (生存). 

The next day,he walked on. After the second night,he started to worry about dying. He realized that his friends might not find him in time. It was late on the third day that Smith lost his sense and fell over. 

When Smith awoke,he was in the car with his friends. He had been found by a group of Bedouin who were traveling in a truck. In such a large desert with the weather conditions, this made it possible for him to survive. Then Bedouin returned to his group of friends. Smith was so lucky.
