文前导读：一位瑞士培训教师帕尔梅驾驶太阳能车完成环绕地球一周的壮举，他希望这一趟5万2 000公里的行程能激励车商开发太阳能车。 The solar car Cheery Swiss Louis Palmer realized a childhood dream that he set off from his home country，traveling over deserts，cities and seas in 17 countries to reach the conference in Bali，Indonesia. “In 1986，I was a 14-year-old boy，I was dreaming that when I was an adult，I would drive around the world，” he said. “Then it came to my mind，how could I travel around the world and enjoy the beauty of this world with a car that is polluting the world? Then I thought the perfect car would be a solar car.” His car，which has become a major attraction at the gates of the summit (首脑会议) of some 188 nations，was built in three years with scientific help from four universities and 15 Swiss companies. The car pulls a trailer (拖车) with six square metres of solar panels (帆板)which soak up the sun.The electricity is fed into the battery which powers the car，and can run for up to 100 kilometres a day. “Its the first time in history that a car is driving around the world without a single drop of petrol，” said Palmer，a teacher by training. His solar journey is not his first adventure—he crossed Africa on a bicycle and North America in a light aircraft. So far，Palmer has gone by land through Europe and the Middle East，then by sea to India and Indonesia. In one year from now，after traveling much of Asia，Australia，North America and Africa，he will return to Switzerland to try to support for the commercial possibilities of solar cars. 【佳句仿写】 1．The car pulls a trailer with six square metres of solar panels. 仿写：叔叔刚刚买了一个带有花园的房子。 ____________________________________________________ 2．The electricity is fed into the battery which powers the car. 仿写：这就是爸爸从日本给我买的电脑。 ____________________________________________________ 3．So far，Palmer has gone by land through Europe and the Middle East. 仿写：到目前为止，我们组已经种了5棵树。 ____________________________________________________
