Electric vehicles are close to the “turning point" of rapid mass adoption thanks to the decreasing cost of
batteries, experts say.
Global sales of electric vehicles rose 43% in 2020, but even faster growth is expected when continuing
falls in battery prices result in the price of electric cars under the same petrol and diesel(柴油)models, which
may happen between 2023 and 2025. According to a study by Prof Tim Lonton, at the University of Exeter,
the turning point has already been passed in Norway, where tax breaks(税收减免)mean electric cars arc
cheaper and the market share of battery-powered cars increased to 54% in 2020 in Norway, compared with
less than 5% in most European nations.
The falls in battery prices in the last decade have been dramatic and faster than predicted thanks to a
massive production and cuts in costs, such as reducing the amount of expensive cobalt (钻) required.
BloombergNEF's analysis predicts lithium-ion(锂离 子)battery costs will fall so sharply that electric cars
can match the price of petrol and diesel cars by 2023. McKin-sey's Global Energy Perspective 2021,
published on 15 January, forecasts that "electric vehicles are likely to become the most economic choice in
the next five years worldwide".
Electric cars, vital in efforts to fight climate crisis, are quieter and start to go faster, so people do not
want to return to a petrol or diesel vehicle once they have one. A survey of 2,000 electric car owners found
91 % said they did not want to go back.
“The survey shows the strong and lasting impact of switching to a clean car. The evidence in favour of
electric vehicles grows more convincing even in a year as destructive as 2020," said Melanie Shufflebotham,
at Zap-Map, which maps charging points.
8. What leads to the growing sales of electric vehicles?
A. The rise in petrol prices. B. The desire for a lower tax.
C. The drop in battery costs. D. The need for a cleaner life.
9. What can we infer from paragraph 2?
A. Policies in Norway support electric vehicles.
B. Economy in Norway outgrows other nations.
C. The market share of electric vehicles will decline.
D. The tax breaks in Europe will continue to increase.
10. How will electric vehicles equal fuel vehicles in price?
A. By increasing the demand for cobalt.
B By boosting the sales of electric cars.
C. By reducing the production of batteries.
D. By cutting the costs of lithium-ion batteries.
11. What is the attitude of people surveyed towards electric cars?
A. Tolerant. B. Positive. C. Unwilling. D. Opposed.
D
Waking up with ''morning breath" is quite normal, and it usually goes away a Her eating and drinking, or
brushing your teeth. Your breath can also smell different after drinking coffee or alcohol, or eating spicy food,
garlic or onions — sometimes you may think you've got bad breath when actually it's quite okay.
However, if you're concerned or embarrassed about halitosis(口臭)---ongoing bad breath, a trip to
the doctor or dentist should be in order, because there could be something else going on with your health.
Your mouth is the first place to investigate the origin of bad breath. When smell-causing bacteria attack
food after eating, they release strong-smelling Sulphur(硫). People with halitosis may have more of these
bacteria present in their mouth. Additionally, not cleaning, or brushing your teeth properly leads to a build-up
of harmful substances on the teeth, and can cause some swelling and strong smell in the mouth. Medical
conditions that reduce the amount of saliva (唾液)in the mouth can cause problems too. That’s because
saliva keeps the mouth just wet, reducing strong smell.
Strong-smelling breath can be a symptom of medical conditions such as mouth or throat infections. A
pear-smelling breath caused by high blood sugar, which occurs as a result of uncontrolled diabetes (糖尿
病),can also indicate some other serious diseases.
If you're worried how your breath smells at close range, nutritionist Katrina Pace comes to the rescue
with simple tips. “Keep away from sharp-tasting food, drink and alcohol,” Katrina said. "Drinking water
regularly and chewing fresh parsley(欧芹)can also help.”
12. When should we see a doctor about a bad breath?
A. After eating sharp-tasting food. B. When waking up with morning breath.
C. After drinking coffee or alcohol. D. When having continuous smelly breath.
13. What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about?
A. The causes of bad breath. B. The effects of medicines.
C. The importance of saliva. D. The necessity of teeth-brushing.
14. What can we learn from paragraph 4?
A. Strong-smelling breath may result in diabetes.
B. Mouth infections are a symptom of bad breath.
C. Pear-smelling breath may be a sign of some diseases.
D. Throat infections are caused by strong-smelling breath.
15. In which section of a newspaper may this text appear?
A. Business. B. Health. C. Education. D. Entertainment.

根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Are you afraid of expressing ideas or making negative comments? Do you always say yes to seek shelter
or want approval from others? 16 You probably tend to satisfy other people's needs ahead of your own. In
the long run, it will have a side effect on your life. It'll take some time to adjust, and it's time to know how.
• Say "no" effectively.
It might take some practice, but let people know when you can't do what they want. If a flat “no" seems
difficult to you, show your understanding for the person and their needs. 17
• Set your priorities.
18 It helps you choose what to say yes to and what to decline. If you feel trapped in a decision, write a
list of your demands(or options) and place them in order of what's most important to you.
•19 .
There’s nothing wrong with voicing your opinion. Simply reminding people that you're an individual
with your own preferences is a big step forward. If you tend to please people by going along with other
people instead of voicing your likes or dislikes, speak out.
• Take care of yourself.
Ignoring your needs can be a sign of a lack of self-love. Looking after yourself and taking care of your
body isn't selfish. 20 Eat healthy meals, exercise regularly, and do things that make your body feel good.
A. Develop your preferences.
B. Speak up for what you want.
C. Spare some time each day for your health.
D. If you agree to help someone, set a time limit.
E. If yes, you may be classified as a people pleaser.
F. Place the most important at the top of the schedule.
G. Still, you need to be firm in saying that you cannot help them.
