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.
It can be inferred from Paragraph 2 that______.
选项
A、Tesla’s electric car will become mainstream in the market
B、Tesla will make a great fortune in 2015 thanks to its new model
C、it may take a while for Tesla to recover from the battery accidents
D、Tesla pursues environmentally-friendly cars rather than huge profits
答案
C
解析
根据题干定位到第二段。首先,选项[A]在该段没有对应内容,该段未提到main-stream一词,该项属于无中生有。选项[B]的2015和new model对应该段的In early 2015Tesla will add the Model X,a medium-sized SUV,to its range一句,但是该项的make a greatfortune“大赚一笔”文中并无体现,故该项错误。选项[C]对应该段最后一句:A series ofbattery fires also briefly dented sales growth last year.“去年,一系列电池起火事件削弱了其销售增长势头。”由此可见该项的it may take a while for Tesla to recover from the battery accidents“特斯拉可能需要一段时间才能从电池事故中恢复过来”推理正确。选项[D]的environmentally—friendly原文并未提到,该项也是错误的。综上,答案为[C]。
