The government has proposed to spend money developing wireless charging roads in the UK as part of a £40 million plan. Wireless charging roads could be developed to recharge electric cars while they drive along to solve some problems about limited equipment to encourage ownership of these vehicles and ensure better air quality. The government has promised the money to developing both on-street and wireless charging to help transformation from internal combustion engine(内燃机)cars to electric cars.

These systems work similarly to a Scalextric toy car. Wireless charging uses a process called electromagnetic induction(电磁感应)to move energy. On the ground is a pad in which electricity is passed through a set of wire to create a magnetic field. It is then moved to a receiver on the underside of the car. Once the technology works, it could mean that drivers can fill up their cars as they drive along, meaning there could be longer periods between charging.

The proposal was made in Department for Transport (DFT) and could also see charging points positioned at service stations and car parks. New homes will also, where permitted, be built with some points. David Martell, of the electric car charging company BP Chargemaster, said, "Wireless charging will make driving an electric vehicle as similar as possible to driving a petrol car but without going to the petrol station frequently."

This is not the first time that wireless charging roads have been proposed as a number of firms have developed technologies. Renault partnered with Qualcomm and VEDECOM Tech to develop a road to test the technology's capability. The 100-meter test track was said to be capable of a charge up to 20 kilowatts at speeds up to, and over, 62 miles per hour (nearly 100 km/h).

1.What's the attitude of the UK government to electric vehicles?

2.What is the second paragraph mainly about?

A.How a Scalextric toy car functions. B.How the electric cars get charged.

C.How the wireless road systems run. D.How the electric cars benefit people.

3.How does David Martell find the new technology?

A.It gets petrol cars unfavourable. B.It saves drivers' trips to petrol station.

C.It gives rise to many new car parks. D.It makes electric cars difficult to drive.

4.Why does the author mention the figures in the last paragraph?

A.To show the experiment of some firms.

B.To announce the progress of the new technology.

C.To show the efficiency of the wireless road systems.

D.To encourage the cooperation among different firms.
