What could we infer from this passage?

A．A subject might have a number of biographies however only one of them might be objective.

B．In some cases a subject might have a number of biographies that are written by different biographers from varied point of view.

C．As far as biographies for heroes and famous figures are concerned, readers are for most cases attracted by their juicy gossips.

D．Since it is always hard to define a good balance between too-close and too-far with subjects, some biographers choose to give up their tasks and try to write something alternative.

Decades before the American Revolution of 1776, Jesse Fish, a native New Yorker, retreated to an island off St. Augustine, Florida, to escape unhappy family situation. In a time he became Florida's first orange baron and his oranges were in great demand in London throughout the 1770's. The English found them juicy and sweet and preferred them to other varieties, even though they had thin skins and were hard to peel.

There would probably have been other successful commercial growers before Fish if Florida had not been under Spanish rule for some two hundred years. Columbus first brought seeds for citrus trees to the New World and planted them in the Antilles. But it was most likely Ponce de Le6n who introduced oranges to the North American continent when he discovered Florida in 1513. For a time, each Spanish sailor on a ship bound for America was required by law to carry one hundred seeds with him. Later, because seeds tended to dry out, all Spanish ships were required to carry young orange trees. The Spaniards planted citrus trees only for medicinal purpose, however, they saw no need to start commercial groves because oranges were so abundant in Spain.

What is the main topic of the passage?

A．The role of Florida in the American Revolution

B．The discovery of Florida by Ponce de Le6n in 1513

C．The history of the cultivation of oranges in Florida

D．The popularity of Florida oranges in London in the 1770's

Questions are based on the following passage．

Olivia Pedersen thought the Nissan Leaf parked outside her favorite 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 the only state with more．But the juicy state incentives for buying them are coming under attack．

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， smart Georgians are driving all the way to the bank in nearly-free electric cars．Nissan sells more of its Leaf models in Atlanta than in any other city， according to Don Francis from Clean Cities——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 Georgia now leads the country in clean transport．Local power companies have helped by offering off-peak prices of 1．3 cents per kilowatt hour for charging the cars at night．And the sales tax collected 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 altogether might also harm Georgia in other ways．A study by Keybridge Public Policy Economics， says the state could lose $ 252m by 2030 if they disappear and people buy gas- guzzlers （耗油量大的汽车） 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 waste their savings from the federal electric-vehicle tax credit 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．

What can be inferred from the case of Olivia Pedersen? 查看材料

A.Traffic jam is common near Emory University．

B.The Georgian may prefer Nissan Leaf most．

C.Olivia"s favorite lunch spot is pretty popular．

D.There are many electric vehicles in Georgia．
