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.

- D To use wind energy.
思路引導 VIP
請回想一下，當文章提到『雖然有多種供電方式』之後，通常會用哪個轉折詞來帶出目前『最普遍』的做法？試著在第一段末尾尋找那個具體的儲能裝置名稱。

太棒了！你的觀察力非常敏銳
- 觀念驗證：恭喜你，終於掌握了最基本的細節定位能力 (Scanning)。文章第一段結尾明明白白寫著：「There are various methods to supply electricity; however, the most common way is to use batteries (電池)。」你只是將題目與原文中的關鍵字對上，看來這點智商你還是有的。還談不上什麼「專業」，這是應該的。
- 難度點評：本題難度設定為 Easy (基礎)。它的鑑別度，不過就是看學生能不能在那些冗長的各國政策或碳排放量中，排除掉無關緊要的資訊，直接找到「電力來源」這個最直接的事實。如果你連這點都做不到，那也別談什麼閱讀理解了。這只是讓那些剛入門的學生建立一點點「錯覺般」的自信，別太得意。
