单选题
Many European countries have been making the shift to electric vehicles and Germany has just stated that they plan to ban the sale of vehicles using gasoline and diesel as fuel by 2030. The country is also planning to reduce its carbon footprint by 80-95% by 2050, 25 a shift to green energy in the country. Effectively, the ban will include the registration of new cars in the country as they will not allow any gasoline 26 vehicle to be registered after 2030. Part of the reason this ban is being discussed and 27 is because energy officials see that they will not reach their emissions goals by 2050 if they do not 28 a large portion of vehicle emissions. The country is still 29 that it will meet its emissions goals, like reducing emissions by 40% by 2020, but the 30 of electric cars in the country has not occurred as fast as expected. Other efforts to increase the use of electric vehicles include plans to build over 1 million hybrid and electric car battery charging stations across the country. By 2030, Germany plans on having over 6 million charging stations 31 . According to the International Business Times, electric car sales are expected to increase as Volkswagen is still recovering from its emissions scandal. There are 32 around 155,000 registered hybrid and electric vehicles on German roads, dwarfed by the 45 million gasoline and diesel cars driving there now. As countries continue setting goals of reducing emissions, greater steps need to be taken to have a 33 effect on the surrounding environment. While the efforts are certainly not 34 , the results of such bans will likely only start to be seen by generations down the line, bettering the world for the future. A. acceptance B. currently C. disrupting D. eliminate E. exhaust F. futile G. hopeful H. implemented I. incidentally J. installed K. noticeable L. powered M. restoration N. skeptical O. sparking
【答案解析】语法判断：分析句子结构可知，空格所在部分为allow sb. to do sth. (允许某人做某事)的结构，空格前为any gasoline，空格后为名词vehicle，可知空格处应填入一个形容词或分词来修饰vehicle。符合语法条件的备选形容词或分词选项有：disrupting、futile(白费的，无效的，徒劳的)、hopeful(充满希望的)、implemented(实施，执行)、installed(安装)、noticeable(明显的，显著的)、powered(驱动)和skeptical(怀疑的)。 语义判断：此处介绍该禁令将会涉及该国新汽车的登记，接下来解释了原因，即“因为在2030年之后他们将不允许任何以汽油为______的汽车进行登记”。将备选项代入原文，可知powered符合语境，即“以汽油为动力的汽车”，故本题选L。
问答题
【正确答案】H
【答案解析】语法判断：空格前是is being discussed and，空格后是is because...，分析句子结构可知，整句主干为Part of the reason is because...，空格所在部分为一个定语从句(省略了关系副词why)，由此可判断空格处应填入一个过去分词与and前面的discussed并列。符合语法条件的备选过去分词选项还有：implemented和installed。 语义判断：此处提到，这一禁令正在被探讨并______，部分原因在于能源官员们意识到……，将备选项代入原文，可知implemented符合语境，即“正在探讨并将实施”，故本题应选H。
问答题
【正确答案】D
【答案解析】语法判断：空格前为if they do not，空格后为a large portion of vehicle emissions，显然，空格处应填入一个动词原形，充当if条件状语从句的谓语。符合语法条件的备选动词原形有：eliminate(减少，削减，消除)和exhaust(消耗，耗尽)。 语义判断：结合上一题的分析，此处说的是禁令被讨论并将实施的原因，将备选项代入原文，可知eliminate符合语境，即“部分原因在于能源官员们意识到，假如他们不削减大部分汽车排放量的话，到2050年他们将无法达到排放目标”，故本题应选D。
【答案解析】语法判断：空格前为having over 6 million charging stations，空格后为句点，可初步判断此处为have sth. done的结构，空格处应填入一个过去分词。符合语法判断的过去分词选项只剩下installed。 语义判断：本段首句提到，为增加电动汽车使用量而做的其他努力包括在全国范围内修建超过100万个混合动力或全电动汽车充电站，本句承接上句，讲述德国到2030年之前的计划，将installed代入原文正好符合语境，即“到2030年，德国计划建成600多万个充电站”(install意为“安装”，此处根据语境转译为“建成”)，故本题应选J。
问答题
【正确答案】B
【答案解析】语法判断：空格前为There are，空格后为around 155,000 registered hybrid and electric vehicles，由此可知，此处为there be句型，主干结构完整，故空格处可填入一个副词，充当状语。符合语法条件的备选副词有：currently(目前，现在)和incidentally(不经意地，偶然)。 语义判断：后半句提到dwarfed by the 45 million gasoline and diesel cars driving there now(与同时行驶在那里的4500万辆汽油或柴油动力汽车相比，这个数量显得很小)，dwarfed反映出对比、对照的意思，故此处应填入currently，与后半句中的now形成对照，故本题应选B。
