In 1998, a Valencian professor made an amazing claim. Professor Antonio Cervilla discovered how
to use water as a substitute for petrol. The scientist said that you could drive from Bilbao to Valencia
on just half a litre of water. His invention uses a molybdenum compound to break down water into
hydrogen and oxygen. Unlike other methods, no electricity is required and the reaction happens at
atmospheric temperature. This impressive technology is based on the way plant enzymes break down
water. The use of molybdenum is the perfect choice because, although rare, it is cheap and found all
around the planet.
Since the claims were made, nothing more has been heard about this fabulous technology. There is
no explanation for the disappearance anywhere on the internet, apart from a list of similar inventions
which have also vanished. An inventor from the Philippines called Daniel Dingel developed a water-
fuelled car but was arrested and sentenced to 20 years in prison. If this technology were to become
widely available, it would prove disastrous for petrol station owners and would also save the planet
from the impending environmental catastrophes being caused by pollution.
Question 21: What is the passage mainly about ?
A. The vanishing invention B. The new petrol for car
C. An impressive inventor D. The development of water-fuelled car
Question 22: According to the passage, a Valencian professor made an amazing claim in _____?
A. 1988 B. 1899 C. 1989 D. 1998
Question 23: The word “it” in the passage refers to ____.
A. enzyme B. use C. molybdenum D. choice
Question 24: It is stated in the passage that water-fuelled cars may help to ____.
A. save energy B. save time C. save money D. save environment
