Vehicles n ur rads are nw mstly petrl and diesel（柴油）cars, but their days cannt cntinue fr much lnger. A recent university study fund that current electric cars culd be used fr 87 percent f daily car jurneys in the US. That figure culd rise t 98 percent by 2020.
One hurdle t the widespread adptin f electric cars has been "range anxiety"—drivers' cncerns abut running ut f electricity n a jurney. While petrl statins are cnveniently lcated acrss natinal rad systems, the necessary netwrk f electric charging statins is still being develped. That said, charging pints are becming increasingly cmmn thrughut the USA.
Attitudes twards electric vehicles have changed greatly ver the last few years. Nt that lng ag, electric cars were met with distrust, and their high prices drve custmers away. Thanks t imprvements in battery capacity, recharging times, perfrmance and price, the current generatin f electric cars are starting t persuade picky cnsumers.

Steps twards electric air travel are als being made, with Airbus and NASA amng the rganizatins develping and testing battery-pwered planes. The experiments culd sn make cmmercial electric flight a reality.
Electric vehicles d nt prduce any emissins（排放）. If the US culd replace 87 percent f its cars with electric vehicles, it wuld reduce the natinal demand fr petrl by 61 percent. Hwever, because f the prductin prcesses and the generatin f electricity required t charge these vehicles, they cannt claim t be cmpletely emissin-free. That said, as many cuntries cntinue t increase their use f renewable energy surces, electric vehicles will becme even cleaner.
32. What des the underlined wrd "hurdle" prbably mean in Paragraph 2?
A. Obstacle. B. Intentin. C. Wrry. D. Stage.
33. What will the future f plug-in cars be like?
A. They will suffer disbelief because f battery capacity.
B. The high price will put the future f electric cars at risk.
C. They will nt be widely prmted because f picky custmers.
D. They will cmpete with petrl and diesel cars fiercely fr markets.
34. What can we learn abut in Paragraph 4?
A. The histry f electric travel.
B. Different ways electric vehicles can be used.
C. Reasns why the wrld needs mre electric cars.
D. The trend that mre peple have interest in electric cars.
