Questions are based on the following passage.
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.

参考解答
正确答案:D
全文翻译奥利薇亚·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。(61)如今,在乔治亚州,14,000多辆电动汽车已注册登记;加利福尼亚州成为全美电动汽车注册数量最多的州。(65)但是,州政府提供的购买电动汽车的丰厚奖励将受到打击。居民用于租赁或购买电动汽车的费用可要求20%的收入税抵免,最高可达5,000美元。再加上价值7,500美元的联邦税收激励,精明的乔治亚州人将全程驾驶近乎免费的电动汽车前往银行。(62)根据来自清洁城市——推广使用日产聆风这类车的乔治亚州的唐·弗朗西斯,日产聆风在亚特兰大比在其他任何城市销售的量要多。这种趋势促使乔治亚州众议院的议员查克·马丁支持一项终结该州对电动汽车的奖励的法案。(63)他认为所得税抵免费用高昂——2013年达l,360万美元——而且只有城市型汽车才能从这类车辆中受益。马丁先生的法案于二月份遭到委员会的否决,但似乎还在苟延残喘。另一项主要目的是为交通项目提供资金的议院法案将会减少信贷;目前,该法案摆在了参议院面前。电动汽车迷说道,如今,乔治亚州在使用环保的交通工具方面在全国处于领先地位.当地电力公司也通过提供夜间非高峰时期充电1.3美分每千瓦时的低电价积极响应。亚特兰大电动汽车发展联盟创始人杰夫·科恩称,对该电力公司所征收的销售税在该州维持不变,相比之下,其他地方大把银子却花费在汽油上。(64)对信贷的完全削减有可能在其他方面伤害乔治亚州。键桥公共政策经济学的一项研究表明,到2030年,如果电动汽车消失,人们转而购买“油老虎”,那么该州将损失25,200万美元。那是因为驾驶者将花费71,400万美元去加油站加油(相较之下,他们只需花费25,l00万美元在电费上),而不会再将从联邦电动汽车税收减免中节省下来的钱浪费在乔治亚的商店里。然而,该州的激励政策在立法过程中可能终究是安全的,因为参议院议长自己是开电动汽车的。详解详析定位:由题干中的thecaseofOliviaPedersen定位到原文第一段。详解: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已的。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1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。
