22、

Over the last year, 30 students between the ages of 21 and 25 from the Netherlands took a year off from university to work on developing a solar-powered car. The car is called Stella Terra.

In order to create a car that could deal with the kind of tough driving the team was planning for, the students had to design the car from top to bottom.

On top, of course, were the solar panels (嵌板). Most solar panels are only about 20% efficient (有效的). That means they waste about 80% of the sunlight they get. But the Stella Terra’s solar panels are 97% efficient.

Like most electric cars, Stella Terra stores energy in a battery. Thanks to its powerful solar panels and its battery, when it’s sunny, the car can run for 440 miles a day. Stella Terra can carry two people, and has a top speed of 90 mph. The car weighs just 2,600 pounds. That’s about two-thirds the weight of a common car.

On the bottom, the team designed a system to help the car deal with heavy shaking that comes when driving over rough (粗糙的) surfaces.

The team recently took the car on its biggest test—a challenging 620-mile test drive across Morocco. The car had to travel through forests as well as dry riverbeds. It had to drive across desert sand and up mountain roads. The car succeeded in doing all of this.

The team is very proud of their car, and they won’t be upset if car companies start to copy their ideas. In fact, they hope that other car companies try to work on similar projects.

【1】What does NOT the author mention in the first paragraph?

A．The name of the car.

B．The team behind the car.

C．The time for making the car.

D．The good points of Stella Terra.

【2】What can we learn about Stella Terra’s solar panels?

A．They are less efficient.

B．They are made by scientists.

C．They waste far less sunlight.

D．They can take in 80%of sunlight.

【3】What’s the fourth paragraph mainly about?

A．Some basic information on Stella Terra.

B．The way the solar panels work to run the car.

C．Difficulties the students met in making the car.

D．Stella Terra’s differences from most electric cars.

【4】What do we know about the test?

A．The car ran 600 miles in total.

B．It was a really successful test.

C．It was taken in the students’ country.

D．The car ran all kinds of roads for the test.

【5】What’s the writer’s purpose in writing the text?

A．To ask car companies to speed up.

B．To introduce some creative students.

C．To show a new solar-powered car.

D．To encourage students to follow the team.
