If comfortably outpacing your rivals is the main measure of automotive achievement, Tesla’s electric car is a resounding success. The Model S last year outsold its nearest luxury rival, Mercedes’s petrol-engined S-class, by 30% in America. And in its top specification the Tesla will also beat the German car in the race from 0 -60mph. As a battery-maker Tesla is also moving fast. This week it announced plans to build a " gigafactory" in America to make lithium-ion power-packs, that it hopes will propel its vehicles to the mainstream.
Tesla’s acceleration has been rapid. Launched a decade ago by Elon Musk, a founder of PayPal and serial tech entrepreneur, last year it sold around 22,000 cars and by the end of 2014 hopes to be making 1,000 a week. In early 2015 Tesla will add the Model X, a medium-sized SUV, to its range. However, Tesla’s impressive growth has not yet translated into significant profits. A series of battery fires also briefly dented sales growth last year.
Nevertheless, Tesla’s shares surged on February 25th, to value the company at over $30 billion after Morgan Stanley, a bank, joined its adoring fans. It reckons that the battery factory will not only propel it along the road to mass manufacturing but also make it a leading competitor in low-cost energy storage, the key to making renewable energy more practical. The bank is also confident that Tesla’s Silicon Valley location will put it in the driverless front seat of autonomous motoring. A recent meeting with Apple, and the iPad-like control panel of the Model S, have convinced some observers that a takeover and an iCar are around the corner, although Mr. Musk insists that his firm is not for sale.
Tesla has defied its doubters with the success of the Model S, a smartly styled luxury car. It may not share the outrageous looks of a supercar like the Lamborghini Aventador, but it has the performance without the $400,000-plus price tag. The most basic Model S costs $64,000 in America. This has won it rave reviews in the motoring press, often sniffy about other electric cars with limited ranges and duff looks. By designing a large car with a big battery pack, Tesla has diminished "range anxiety"—one version can do 310 miles(500 km)between charges.
Which one of the following is true about Tesla’s Model S?
选项
A、It has duff looks and limited range.
B、It looks as impressive as other super cars.
C、It is not worth spending so much money on it.
D、It has changed people’s view towards electric cars.
答案
D
解析
根据题干的Tesla’s Model S以及出题顺序定位到最后一段。选项[A]对应该段第四、五行:This has won it rave reviews in the motoring press,often sniffy about other electric carswith limited ranges and duff looks.其中的limited ranges and duff looks指的是other electriccars,而不是Tesla,故该项错误。选项[B]对应本段第二句:It may not share the outrageouslooks of a supercar like the Lamborghini Aventador…其中的outrageous“令人震惊的”与该项的impressive“令人印象深刻的”意思接近,但是原文说的是not share the outrageous looks of asupercar,故该项错误。选项[C]对应该段第二、三两句:but it has the performance without the$400,000一plus price tag.The most basic Model S costs $64,000 in America.由此可见Model S不仅拥有40多万美元车盼陛能,而且售价仅为6.4万美元,性价比很高,该项说的“不值得购买”显然是错误的。选项[D]对应该段第四行:This has won it rave reviews in the motoringpress,often sniffy about other electric cars…“这使其在汽车报刊上引起轩然大波,该报刊往往对其他电动跑车的有限行程和笨拙外观嗤之以鼻。”由此可见该项It has changed people’s viewtowards electric cars.“它改变了人们对于电动跑车的看法”表述正确,即[D]为答案。
