Read the following passage and then choose the best answer for each question by circling the corresponding letter A, B, C or D from 2 to 9.
Today’s cars are smaller, safer, cleaner, and more economical than their predecessors, but the car of the future will be far more pollution-free than those on the road today. Several new types of automobile engines have already been developed than run on alternative sources of power, such as electricity, compressed natural gas, methanol, steam, hydrogen, and propane. Electricity, however, is the only zero-emission option presently available.
Although electric vehicles will not be truly practical until a powerful, compact battery or other dependable source of current is available, transport experts foresee a new assortment of electric vehicles entering everyday life: shorter-range commuter electric cars, three-wheeled neighborhood cars, electric delivery vans, bikes and trolleys.
As automakers work to develop practical electrical vehicles, urban planners and utility engineers are focusing on infrastructure systems to support and make the best use of the new cars. Public charging facilities will need to be as common as today’s gas stations. Public parking spots on the street or in commercial lots will need to be equipped with devices that allow drivers to charge their batteries while they stop, dine, or attend a concert. To encourage the use of electric vehicles, the most convenient parking in transportation centers might be reserved for electric cars.
Planners foresee electric shuttle buses, trains, buses and neighborhood vehicles all meeting at transit centers that would have facilities for charging and renting. Commuters will be able to rent a variety of electric cars to suit their needs: light trucks, one-person three-wheelers, small cars, or electric/gasoline hybrid cars for longer trips, which will no doubt take place on automated freeways capable of handling five times the number of vehicles that can be carried by freeway today.
According to the passage, public parking lots of the future will be

Dịch bài đọc:
Ngày nay, xe ô tô con nhỏ hơn, an toàn hơn, sạch hơn và tiết kiệm hơn so với ngày trước, nhưng chiếc xe của tương lai sẽ không bị ô nhiễm hơn nhiều so với những chiếc xe ở trên đường hiện nay. Một số loại động cơ ô tô mới đã được phát triển hơn là chạy bằng các nguồn năng lượng thay thế, như điện, khí tự nhiên nén, metanol, hơi nước, hydro và propan. Tuy nhiên, điện là lựa chọn không phát thải duy nhất hiện có.
Mặc dù xe điện sẽ không thực sự thiết thực cho đến khi có pin mạnh, nhỏ gọn hoặc nguồn điện đáng tin cậy khác, các chuyên gia vận tải đã dự đoán một loại xe điện mới đi vào cuộc sống hàng ngày: xe điện đi lại ngắn hơn, xe ba bánh, xe tải điện giao hàng, xe đạp và xe đẩy.
Khi các nhà sản xuất ô tô phát triển các phương tiện điện thực tế, các nhà quy hoạch đô thị và các kỹ sư tiện ích đang tập trung vào các hệ thống cơ sở hạ tầng để hỗ trợ và tận dụng tốt nhất những chiếc xe mới. Các cơ sở thu phí công cộng sẽ cần phải phổ biến như các trạm xăng ngày nay. Các điểm đỗ xe công cộng trên đường phố hoặc trong các lô thương mại sẽ cần được trang bị các thiết bị cho phép người lái sạc pin trong khi họ dừng lại, ăn tối hoặc tham dự buổi hòa nhạc. Để khuyến khích sử dụng xe điện, bãi đậu xe thuận tiện nhất trong các trung tâm giao thông có thể được dành riêng cho ô tô điện.
Các nhà hoạch định thấy trước rằng xe buýt đưa đón bằng điện, xe lửa, xe buýt và các phương tiện giao thông trong khu vực đều có mặt tại các trung tâm quá cảnh sẽ có phương tiện để tính phí và cho thuê. Hành khách sẽ có thể thuê nhiều loại xe điện phù hợp với nhu cầu của họ: xe tải nhẹ, xe ba bánh một người, xe nhỏ hoặc xe hybrid điện / xăng cho những chuyến đi dài hơn, chắc chắn sẽ diễn ra trên đường cao tốc tự động có khả năng xử lý gấp năm lần số lượng phương tiện có thể được vận chuyển bằng đường cao tốc ngày nay.
