Text 3 Olivia Pedersen thought the Nissan Leaf parked outside her favourite lunch spot near Emory University,must be hers.But she could not open the door.Nor could she open the door of the identical Leaf behind it.Cautiously,she tried the third Leaf in line and happily drove away.More than 14,000 electric vehicles are now registered in Georgia;California is Lhe only state with more.But the juicy state incentives for buying ihem are coming under aUack.Residents can claim an income-tax credit for 20%of the cost of leasing or purchasing an electric vehicle,up to$5,000.Combined with a possible federal tax incentive worth$7,500,savvy Georgians are driving all the way to the bank in nearly-free electric cars.Nissan sells more of its Leaf models in Adanta than in any other city,according to Don Francis from Georgia,which promotes the use of cars like these.Such trends motivated Chuck Martin,a representative in Georgia's House,to sponsor a bill to end state incentives for electric vehicles.He argues that the income-tax credit costs too much-about$13.6m in 2013-and that only urban types benefit from these sorts of cars.Mr Martin's bill was voted down in committee in February,but seems to be still breathing.Another House bill,mostly to finance transport projects,would reduce the credits;it is now before the Senate.Fans of electric vehicles say Ceorgia now leads the country in clean transport.Local power companies have helped by offering off-peak prices of l.3 cents per kilowatt hour for charging the cars at night.And the sales tax levied on this power stays in the state,whereas cash spent on petrol largely goes elsewhere,says Jeff Cohen,founder of the Atlanta Electric Vehicle Development Coalition.Cutting the credits alLogether might also harm Georgia in other ways.A study by Keybridge Public Policy Economics,a consultancy,says the stale could lose$252m by 2030 if they disap-pear and people buy gas-guzzlers instead.That is because drivers will spend$714m on petrol to get around(in contrast with the$261m they would have paid in electricity bills),and will no longer fritter away their savings from the federal electric-vehicle tax crediL in Georgia's shops.But the state's incentives may be safe in the legislature after all;the president of the Senate drives an electric car himself.The author's attitude towards Georgia's policies on electric cars seems to be______A.worriedB.doubtfulC.optimisticD.sympathetic
选项
A.worried
B.doubtful
C.optimistic
D.sympathetic
答案
C
解析
态度题。定位到最后一段。转折处经常强调作者的观点态度,故最能体现作者态度的句子是全文最后一句:But the state's incentives may be safe in the legislature after all;the president of the Senate drives an elecLric car himself.其中slate's incentives“该州的激励政策”指的就是全文讨论的Georgia's policies on electric cars“乔治亚州的电动汽车政策”。该句中能够明确体现感情色彩的词是safe“安全的”,该词属于正向词汇,故答案也应该是正向词汇。选项[A]worried“担忧的”;[B]doubtful“怀疑的”“C]optimistic“乐观的”;[D]sympathetic“同情的”;四个选项中显然只有[C]optimistic为正向词汇,故该项正确。
