Amy is reading an article about electric cars.
Read the article.
Electric Cars 1
In the past, cars only used petrol or diesel. Petrol and diesel cars
cause air pollution. Today people can buy electric cars. Electric cars
use energy stored in batteries. Therefore, they do not produce
harmful gases. If there are more electric cars, people will enjoy 5
cleaner air and better health. Electric cars run quietly and smoothly
and they cause less noise pollution. Also, electricity costs less than
petrol and diesel, so drivers can save money.

However, electric cars have problems too. They cannot go as far as
petrol or diesel cars. Drivers need to charge them before the 10
batteries run out. Hong Kong does not have enough charging
stations. Charging takes at least 30 minutes each time. Some people
think this is too slow.
The Hong Kong Government asks drivers to use electric cars. It

wants the city to have no car pollution by 2050. There has been 15
some success. The number of electric cars in Hong Kong was under
200 in 2010. Now it is over 15,000 and it will continue to rise.

 A. good points
 B. bad points
 C. costs
 D. pollution

2. Electric cars do not cause air pollution because they _________.
 A. use expensive petrol
 B. run quietly and smoothly
 C. do not need energy
 D. do not produce harmful gases
3. According to Paragraph 1, _________ can save money.
 A. diesel car drivers
 B. electric car drivers
 C. petrol car drivers
 D. the Government

4. In Paragraph 2, why are electric cars not popular in Hong Kong?
1) Electric cars do not go very far.
2) There are not enough charging stations.
3) Electric cars are very expensive.
4) Charging takes time.
 A. 1 and 2  B. 1, 2 and 3
 C. 1, 2 and 4  D. all of the above
5. Read lines 12 – 13. ‘Some people think this is too slow.’


The word ‘this’ means _________.
 A. charging electric cars
 B. speed of electric cars
 C. finding one charging station
 D. running out of batteries
6. The Hong Kong Government wants the city to have _________ in 2050.

Amy is reading an article about electric cars.
Read the article.
Electric Cars 1
In the past, cars only used petrol or diesel. Petrol and diesel cars
cause air pollution. Today people can buy electric cars. Electric cars
use energy stored in batteries. Therefore, they do not produce
harmful gases. If there are more electric cars, people will enjoy 5
cleaner air and better health. Electric cars run quietly and smoothly
and they cause less noise pollution. Also, electricity costs less than
petrol and diesel, so drivers can save money.

However, electric cars have problems too. They cannot go as far as
petrol or diesel cars. Drivers need to charge them before the 10
batteries run out. Hong Kong does not have enough charging
stations. Charging takes at least 30 minutes each time. Some people
think this is too slow.
The Hong Kong Government asks drivers to use electric cars. It

wants the city to have no car pollution by 2050. There has been 15
some success. The number of electric cars in Hong Kong was under
200 in 2010. Now it is over 15,000 and it will continue to rise.

 A. use expensive petrol

 A. diesel car drivers
