Olivia Pedersen thought the Nissan Leaf parked outside her favorite 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 the only state with more. But the juicy state incentives for buying them are coming under attack.
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, smart Georgians are driving all the way to the bank in nearly-free electric cars. Nissan sells more of its Leaf models in Atlanta than in any other city, according to Don Francis from Clean Cities—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 Georgia now leads the country in clean transport. Local power companies have helped by offering off-peak prices of 1.3 cents per kilowatt hour for charging the cars at night. And the sales tax collected 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 altogether might also harm Georgia in other ways. A study by Keybridge Public Policy Economics, says the state could lose $ 252m by 2030 if they disappear and people buy gas-guzzlers(耗油量大的汽车)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 waste their savings from the federal electric-vehicle tax credit 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. [br] What can be inferred from the case of Olivia Pedersen?
选项
A、Traffic jam is common near Emory University.
B、The Georgian may prefer Nissan Leaf most.
C、Olivia’s favorite lunch spot is pretty popular.
D、There are many electric vehicles in Georgia.
答案
D
解析
推理判断题。本题考查对奥利薇亚·裴德森案例的推断。原文开篇指出,奥利薇亚·裴德森以为停在埃默里大学附近她最爱的午餐厅门口的日产聆风肯定是自己的。然而,她既开不了车门,也无法打开后面一辆同款聆风的车门。她小心翼翼地试了同一队列上的第三辆聆风,然后满心欢喜地开走了。接着进行解释:如今,在乔治亚州,14,000多辆电动汽车已注册登记。由此可知,乔治亚州的电动汽车很多,D)符合文意,故为答案。A)“埃默里大学附近交通拥堵很常见”、B)“乔治亚州人可能最偏爱日产聆风”和C)“奥利薇亚最爱的午餐厅非常受欢迎”,均属于根据文章字面意思进行的错误推断,故排除.
