问题                         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.
What is the author’s attitude towards the electric cars?
选项 A、The author gives a passive analysis.
B、The author believes they are harmful to the American economy.
C、The author wants them to be built it America.
D、The author hopes they disappear quickly.
答案C
解析 观点态度题。从文章的行文上，作者一直在陈述电动汽车的好处以及可能对美国经济产生的正面影响。[C]“作者希望美国能够产生电动汽车”是正确答案。作者在文中只提到电动汽车的优点，对于缺点只字未提，故排除[A]“作者给出了客观的分析”;[B]“作者认为电动汽车会对美国经济造成危害”，与文意相悖，故排除；[D]“作者希望电动汽车快点消失”，文中并没提及到这个问题，故排除。
