If the conventional electric scooter runs out of power, it must stop to recharge. This may take a few hours. But when the fuel cell scooter runs out of fuel, you can just replace it with hydrogen. When this scooter is running, it only emits water, so it’s a completely non-polluting vehicle.

The phrase “runs out” in this sentence is NOT the closest in meaning to…

1. run down
2. wear out
3. dry up
4. be used up

Fuel cell vehicles around the world are facing a big problem and that's  _____. If a fuel cell vehicle doesn't have a hydrogen infrastructure, there's no place to fill or exchange hydrogen. With this metal hydrogen canister storage method, it's easily exchangeable at convenience stores, gas stations, and grocery stores.

1. not universal
2. under-supply
3. high price of refueling
4. convenient refueling

The metal hydrogen canister is made of metal hydride. When hydrogen is stored in this metal alloy, it’s in a sort of solid state. The low-pressure storage condition inside makes it very safe. While cars need large and highly pressurized hydrogen that poses huge safety risks, scooters require the opposite.

Before the clean wafers are shipped out, we will do one final check, mostly to do with the wafer’s exterior and its electron path. Serving as the foundation, this determines how effective the solar cells will be. Meticulous quality control is applied to ensure there are no defects. They check the cells throughout every step of the manufacturing process to make sure they are consistent.

The phrase “shipped out” in this sentence is closest in meaning to…

1. dropped out
2. dumped out
3. navigated
4. consigned

With over 23 million people crammed onto the small island, Taiwan has one of the highest urban densities in the world. Many have turned to scooters, taking the narrow alleyways to get around. There are around 1.5 million of them in total. Not only are their dirty emissions a bane to air quality, but noise pollution is also a big problem.

The word “bane” in this sentence is closest in meaning to…

1. factor
2. pest
3. blight
4. ruin

Solar vehicles are notorious for slowing down when the weather clouds. Unlike stationary solar panels, cars must face varying conditions. So the team has come up with a backup plan. The car’s storage battery is mainly for storing power. In case there’s insufficient sunlight, the stored power can be used to help the car continue to run.

After watching the video, what is NOT the purpose of developing solar power?

1. To replace conventional sources of energy
2. To reduce carbon emissions
3. To prevent global warming
4. To conduce the fall of sea level

According to the picture, why does the team design the car to have a low drag?

1. They hope that during long-distance races, the car will be able to run on very little energy.
2. They hope that during long-distance races, the car will be able to run fast.
3. They hope that during long-distance races, the car will be able to run stable.
4. They hope that during long-distance races, the car will be able to run quiet.

According to the audio file, why does the man say “there is no room for error”?

1. Because this is the most basic link, it will affect the process results.
2. Because this is the most complex link, it will affect the process results.
3. Because there is a risk of explosion, it will involve security issues.
4. Because there is a risk of electric shock, it will involve security issues.

Apollo Solar Team : This car's main purpose is for inner city use, and it's called a commuter. It's a commuter car concept. Even though it's only for urban use, we've still applied our racing technology. For example, using lightweight and high-safety materials to make the vehicle. It uses a shared chassis concept, which can be paired with different exteriors. We set a goal, in the hopes that aside from partaking in world competitions, we can work towards _____solar power as a lifestyle.

1. industrializing
2. commercializing
3. internalizing
4. customizing
