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.
Why does Michigan want to become the home of electric auto industry?
选项
A、Michigan wants to shake off the dependence on imported energy.
B、Michigan has always been the home of auto industry.
C、There is no country good at producing electric cars in the world.
D、The federal policies require Michigan to do so.
答案
A
解析
事实细节题。由题干中的want to become the home of electric auto industry定位到第四段最后一句可知,密歇根州正竭尽所能要成为新型电动汽车工业的中心,原因在前一句中已经说明,是因为美国不想再靠进口能源来发展经济了。故[A]“密歇根州想要摆脱对进口能量得依赖”与原文意思一致。[B]“密歇根州一直都是汽车工业的中心”,这与题干不能构成直接的因果关系,故排除;[C]“世界上没有国家擅长生产电动汽车”,与文章意思不符,故排除;[D]“联邦政府的政策要求密歇根州这样做”,文中没有涉及到这个问题,故排除。
