Text 3 Olivia Pedersen thought the Nissan Leaf parked outside her favourite lunch spot near Emory University,must be hers.But she could not open the door.Nor could she open the door of the identical Leaf behind it.Cautiously,she tried the third Leaf in line and happily drove away.More than 14,000 electric vehicles are now registered in Georgia;California is Lhe only state with more.But the juicy state incentives for buying ihem are coming under aUack.Residents can claim an income-tax credit for 20%of the cost of leasing or purchasing an electric vehicle,up to$5,000.Combined with a possible federal tax incentive worth$7,500,savvy Georgians are driving all the way to the bank in nearly-free electric cars.Nissan sells more of its Leaf models in Adanta than in any other city,according to Don Francis from Georgia,which promotes the use of cars like these.Such trends motivated Chuck Martin,a representative in Georgia's House,to sponsor a bill to end state incentives for electric vehicles.He argues that the income-tax credit costs too much-about$13.6m in 2013-and that only urban types benefit from these sorts of cars.Mr Martin's bill was voted down in committee in February,but seems to be still breathing.Another House bill,mostly to finance transport projects,would reduce the credits;it is now before the Senate.Fans of electric vehicles say Ceorgia now leads the country in clean transport.Local power companies have helped by offering off-peak prices of l.3 cents per kilowatt hour for charging the cars at night.And the sales tax levied on this power stays in the state,whereas cash spent on petrol largely goes elsewhere,says Jeff Cohen,founder of the Atlanta Electric Vehicle Development Coalition.Cutting the credits alLogether might also harm Georgia in other ways.A study by Keybridge Public Policy Economics,a consultancy,says the stale could lose$252m by 2030 if they disap-pear and people buy gas-guzzlers instead.That is because drivers will spend$714m on petrol to get around（in contrast with the$261m they would have paid in electricity bills）,and will no longer fritter away their savings from the federal electric-vehicle tax crediL in Georgia's shops.But the state's incentives may be safe in the legislature after all;the president of the Senate drives an electric car himself.
A study suggests that cutting the credits in Georgia might______
细节题。根据cuiting the credits in Georgia定位到最后一段首句：CuUing the crediLs altogetber might also harm Georgia in other ways．答案句来自第二句：A study says the state could lose$252m by 2030 if they disappear and people buy gas-guzzlers instead．其中，答案关键为lose$252m“损失2.52亿美元”。选项[A]boosl economic growth“促进经济增长”：boost为正向词汇，与原文harm、lose等负面词汇完全相反，该项比较容易排除。[B]do hann to the markei“破坏市场”；原文提到harm Georgia，并没有提到market“市场”一词，故排除该项。[C]reduce vehicle sales“减少汽车销量”；文章说如果电动汽车激励政策消失，人们会购买gas-guzzlers“油老虎／传统汽车”，故不会减少汽车销量，顶多减少电动汽车销量，该项表述不清，可以排除。[D]lead togreater lass“造成更大的损失”；该项的loss=原文的lose;greater loss=lose$252m;故该项为正确答案。
