    The document provides information about hybrid cars. It begins by explaining that hybrid cars combine an electric motor and a gasoline engine to provide better fuel efficiency and reduced emissions compared to gasoline-only cars. It then provides evidence to support the claim that hybrid cars are more efficient than electric cars alone. Specifically, it notes that the gasoline engine can be smaller since it works with the electric motor, resulting in less gasoline used and lower emissions. Additionally, the electric batteries can be charged by the gasoline engine or while braking to extend the car's range beyond electric-only vehicles. In summary, the document outlines how hybrid cars integrate gasoline and electric power sources to achieve better performance and lower environmental impact than conventional cars.

    Answer Key Hybrid Cars

    1- Inferring the Meaning of Expressions from Context and Vocabulary

    1. B 2. A 3. C 4. A 5. C
    6. B 7. A 8. C 9. B

    2- - Inferring the Meaning of Specialized Terms

    1. g 2. n 3. i 4. h 5. l
    6. k 7. m 8. b 9. j 10. c
    11. d 12. k 13. a 14. f

    I- Answer the following questions

    1- What is the writer’s purpose?

    The writer’s purpose is to inform the reader how hybrid cars work and their advantages
    (reducing both gas consumptions and harmful emissions). Thus, he is trying to convince
    the reader that the hybrid car is better for the environment but still offers a viable means
    of transport for the owner. (Answers may vary)

    The writer’s purpose is to expose to the reader the new types of cars on the market,
    including gasoline-powered, electric, and hybrid cars by different car companies. He aims
    to explain to the reader how the hybrid car works combining features of both the gasoline
    powered and electric cars making it more efficient as it reduces both gas consumptions
    and harmful emissions. Thus, he is trying to convince the reader that the hybrid car is a
    better option for the environment while it still offers a viable means of transport for the
    owner.
    2- According to the writer, hybrid cars are more efficient than electric cars. What
    evidence does he give to support his claim?

    First, the hybrid car combines electric motors and a gasoline engine to give greater
    performance and longer traveling distances than an electric car. At the same time, it
    utilizes the electric batteries to greatly reduce emissions and improve fuel consumption.
    Second, the gasoline combustion engine can be considerably smaller than the one in a
    standard gasoline car which means fewer cylinders, lighter parts, and a more efficient
    engine load; thus, less gasoline will be used while driving the car offering better fuel
    consumption and less damaging emissions pumped into the atmosphere. Therefore, the
    hybrid car is better for the environment and still offers a viable means of transport for the
    owner.

    II- Are the following statements Facts, Opinions or Inferences?

    1- This is a very simple explanation. ……O…….


    2- Engineers and car manufacturers have developed a number of methods to solve the
    problem of combining an electric motor and a gasoline engine……F
    3- Hybrid cars will eventually replace standard cars in the near future……………..I
