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.
The most appropriate title for this text is______.
选项
A、Tesla: Electric Car That Makes A Hit
B、Electric Car: Where Is the Future?
C、Tesla: Will the Takeover Come Soon?
D、Tesla: Rapid Growth But No Profits
答案
A
解析
本文讨论的是电动跑车品牌Tesla“特斯拉”,几个选项基本都吻合。四个选项的意思分别为:选项[A]“特斯拉:大获成功的电动跑车”;选项[B]“电动跑车:何去何从?”;选项[C]“特斯拉:距离被接手还远吗?”;选项[D]“特斯拉:猛增长,零利润”。一般文章各段首句可以表达各段大意,而把各段首句加起来,可以看出整篇文章大意。第一段提到:Tesla’s electric car is a resounding success.第二段首句指出:Tesla’s acceleration has been rapid.第三段首句重点为:Nevertheless,Tesla’s shares surged.最后一段首句又指出:Tesla has defied its doubters with the success of the Model S.这几句话不断提到success,acceleration,surge等词,都是积极向上的词,由此可以判断,文章重点讨论特斯拉的成功和发展,故[A]项为本题答案。
