Since we've been discussing alternative fuels lately, I wanted to pass onto you some information I read about a new fuel that's been in the news a lot lately. It's called A-21.It's ______ of water and a chemical known as ______. It seems to be avery promising fuel because it's much cleaner than the ______ that we usetoday. That's not to say that it doesn't pollute, but it is cleaner. A-21 isn'tlike some other alternative fuels that require completely new types of engines.A-21 still works in regular, everyday ______ engines --- like the ones incars --- with only minor mechanical modifications. So changing over wouldn't bea big deal.You may doubt some of these claims as many researchers have. Some people feared that because it contains about 45 percent water it would freeze in the winter. But a small amount of ______ was added to it, and that seems tohave solved the problem.A-21 has recently undergone street tests in buses in Reno, Nevada. So far it seems to work just fine. This is a good thing, especially in Nevada, because the state government there has passed a law requiring that a large percent age of vehicles in Nevada run on alternative fuels. A-21 should help.

【听力精解】
这篇文章又是讲能源的,不过侧重的是转化,有一些化学成分很难记,不过在听力中可以简单的用缩写代替,知道它是固体气体或者液体就可以了,把那些甲烷、二氧化碳等一些简单又出现率高的词背下来即可。minor mechanical modifications -modify修改的变形,意思是 细微的机械修改
undergone 为undergo的过去分词,意为经历vehicles 在托福中是出现频率很高的词,就是 车辆(vehicle的复数形式)交通工具 的意思,作文里可以代替cars
