Auto Industry In Michigan
In the 20th Century, the road to the American Dream began in Michigan. Our state not only put the nation on wheels, but well-paying jobs in the auto industry helped create the broad middle-class prosperity that made our country the envy of the world.
Today, both the American auto industry and the middle class are facing destructive challenges. And again the road to a stronger future for our country will begin in Michigan— where electric vehicles produced by a greener auto industry will reduce our dangerous addiction to foreign oil. Our dependence on imported oil threatens our economic prosperity, our national security and, in a very real sense, the future of our planet.
With this tremendous threat comes an equally great opportunity: to replace our gas powered fleet with a new generation of electric vehicles. These new vehicles won’t just take us to and from work and around town. Since the batteries in these cars can also be used to store the carbon-free energy that can be utilized by home-based solar cells and wind turbines, these vehicles could dramatically transform the way we light and heat our homes. In a real sense, your car battery could be your home’s energy-storage center. It will take time to realize this revolution in energy technology. But the electric vehicles that will make it all possible are just over the horizon.
These advanced electric car batteries today are made by a small handful of companies in Asia. But America cannot trade dependence on foreign oil for dependence on foreign-made batteries. In Michigan, we are doing everything we can to become the home of this new electric auto industry—and of the jobs this industry will create.
As auto-industry leaders continue to make tough decisions in the face of an evolving global economy, we must diversify our nation’s industrial base. Clean-energy technology—particular, the development and production of lithiumion batteries—holds enor- mous potential for job creation. None of us knows for sure just what the economy will look like when we emerge from this recession. What we do know is that the automobile market will have changed dramatically. Consumer demand for fuel efficient cars will accelerate, and federal policies will make electric vehicles inevitable. All of us should want those cars to be built in America.
Which of the following statements is true according to Para. 3?
选项
A、It is a good chance to realize the transformation of batteries.
B、It is common for the Americans to light their homes using their car batteries.
C、Driving an electric car instead of gas-powered one is a threat to our economy.
D、We can drive an electric car to go to work in the very near future.
答案
D
解析
推理判断题,由第三段可知,挑战也就意味着机遇,汽车即将实现更新换代,由此可能引起能源技术的革新。故[D]“在不久的将来,我们可以驾驶电动汽车去上班”与本段最后一句意思一致。[A]“这是实现电池转换的大好机会”,根据本段第三句,这是实现照明等方式转换的好机会,与文章内容不符,故排除;[B]“美国人普遍都用汽车电池为家庭提供照明”,根据本段第三句,这还是没实现的事情,故排除;[C]“用电动汽车取代耗油的汽车对我们的经济一种威胁”,刚好与本段阐述的内容相反,故排除。
