閱讀測驗二 (第 46-50 題) Nowadays, many people are trying to lead more energy-efficient
lives to protect the environment. One particularly useful thing people
can do is purchase an electric car. Most people are aware that electric
cars are far more energy-efficient than traditional fuel-burning cars.
However, what they may not realize is that once they have bought an
electric car, the music they listen to while driving also affects their
energy consumption.
An experiment conducted by a South Korean car manufacturer
in 2022 invited a number of drivers to drive their new electric cars. The
company asked the drivers, who were all new to electric vehicles, to
drive their cars over an 18-mile distance, inclusive of a traffic jam
moving along at a glacial pace, country roads and expressways with
dual lanes.
Some of these drivers were instructed to listen to Beethoven
while driving. Others were required to listen to a range of pop artists,
such as Kanye West and Adele. The results revealed that the relaxing
nature of Beethoven’s music resulted in those cars using less battery
power than the cars whose drivers listened to pop music. This is because
pop music tends to have a higher tempo and heavier beat.
So, if you own an electric car but still want to make a greater
environmental contribution, you can listen to your favorite piece of
classical music. _____, if you don’t care about power consumption and
want to drive faster, just put on some fast-paced pop tracks!
【題組】49. According to the article, why does listening to classical music while
driving a car use less power consumption?
(A) Because of the nature of the music
(B) Because of its lower tempo
(C) Because of its lighter beat
(D) All of the above
