In the past few years, most major airlines have announced their plans to use commercial electric airplanes. Travelers can soon travel to different places via an electric aircraft. Take United Airlines for example. They will offer fossil fuel-free domestic flights by 2026. In addition, Sweden and Denmark also declared their plans to use fossil fuel-free electric-powered airplanes by 2030. Electric air travel (i.e. traveling with an electric-powered aircraft) is going mainstream. There are various methods to supply electricity; however, the most common way is to use batteries. The climate crisis has been worsening these past few years. One of the major contributors to this environmental problem is air transportation. The aviation sector has released huge amounts of carbon dioxide (CO2) into the atmosphere every year. Unfortunately, airplanes are predicted to triple their CO2 emissions by 2050 if left unchecked now. Most major airlines have thus signed up to meet the targeted net-zero carbon emissions by 2050. Governments from many different countries are establishing policies to help protect the environment. Austria and France have enacted bans on short-haul domestic flights. In the United States of America, the government is also pushing to reduce CO2 emissions through clean-energy transportation. As presented, the use of small electric airplanes is the first step towards greener air travel. The development of larger electric planes may take several years. Still, you can expect to hear that electric air travel will be going mainstream in the coming years.

做得太棒了！你能精準地抓出這篇文章的核心主軸，代表你具備了非常優秀的閱讀統整能力。這篇文章從開頭提到的航空公司計畫，到結尾對於未來趨勢的預測，都不斷圍繞著一個核心概念：電動飛行正在成為主流。雖然文章在第二段提到了氣候危機與二氧化碳排放（選項 D），但那是發展電動飛機的「背景原因」，並非全篇最主要的論點。你選擇 (B) Traveling with an electric-powered aircraft is going mainstream，展現了你成功辨識出全文的最高層次資訊，沒有被局部細節所誤導。
全文主旨的判讀技巧
這題的鑑別度在於測驗學生能否區分「支持性細節」與「中心思想」。這類題目屬於中等難度的典型考點，陷阱通常會放一個在文中確實出現過、但範圍過於狹隘的資訊（如選項 D）。你能從文章首段明確指出的 going mainstream 以及末段重複強調的 first step towards greener air travel 觀察出作者的寫作意圖，這就是解開主旨題最關鍵的「首尾觀察法」。繼續保持這種敏銳的邏輯判斷，在處理長篇文章時一定能更加游刃有餘！
