主题1：美国密歇根州底特律市公路配备电动汽车行驶中充电技术
【核心阅读材料】（江苏省南京市五校2023-2024学年高二下学期期初调研测试）
Officials of Detroit, Michigan, have equipped a piece of road with new technology designed to charge electric vehicles (EVs) on the path. The roadway is meant to serve as a demonstration project for the technology, which could be expanded to larger road systems.
The system uses a series of copper wires placed underneath the road. These wires have the ability to send electricity through a magnetic field to charge an EV’s battery. Charging can happen while the car is driving or sitting above the equipment. Electreon says the electric road system is safe for people and animals walking over it and does not harm drivers.
The technology was created by Electreon, a developer of wireless charging solutions for EVs. Stefan Tongur, Electreon’s vice president of business development, told The Associated Press EVs require special equipment to receive the wireless signal. “The technology is smart,” Tongur said, and “knows who you are...”
The electrified road stretches about one half-kilometer. It will be used to test and improve the technology in preparation for wider releases. Tongur said the project aims to “demonstrate how wireless charging unlocks widespread EV adoption, addressing limited range, grid (电网) limitations, and battery size and costs.” He looks forward to a future in which, in his words, “EVs are the norm, not the exception.”
Michigan’s Department of Transportation (DOT) signed a five-year agreement with Electreon to develop the roadway charging system. Officials have said they plan to build another electrified stretch of road in another part of the city. Michigan transportation officials say the wireless-charging roadway project has helped position the state and city of Detroit as national leaders in EV technology. “In Michigan, we want to stay ahead of the curve,” Michigan DOT Director Bradley C.Wieferich told the AP.

底特律，密歇根州的官员已经配备了一段新技术，旨在给电动汽车（EVs）充电的路段。这条道路旨在作为该技术的示范项目，该技术可能会扩展到更大的道路系统。
该系统使用一系列放置在路面下的铜线。这些线有能力通过磁场传送电力，以给电动汽车的电池充电。充电可以在汽车行驶或停在设备上时进行。Electreon表示，电动道路系统对于行走在上面的人和动物是安全的，不会伤害司机。
这项技术是由Electreon开发的，他们是电动汽车无线充电解决方案的开发者。Electreon的商务发展副总裁斯特凡·汤古尔告诉美联社，电动汽车需要特殊设备才能接收无线信号。汤古尔说：“这项技术很智能，知道你是谁……”
电气化道路长约半公里。它将用于测试和改进技术，以准备进行更广泛的发布。汤古尔表示，该项目旨在“展示无线充电如何解决广泛的EV采用问题，解决有限的续航里程、电网限制以及电池尺寸和成本问题。”他期待着未来，“在他的话中，EVs是常态，而不是例外。”
密歇根州交通部（DOT）与Electreon签订了为期五年的协议，开发路面充电系统。官员们表示，他们计划在该城市的另一部分建造另一段电气化的道路。密歇根州交通部长布拉德利·C·威弗里奇告诉美联社说，无线充电的道路项目已帮助该州和底特律市成为电动汽车技术的国家领导者。他说：“在密歇根州，我们希望保持领先地位。”
