Question

14．Well，parents，surprise!Lots of us are using Twitter and Facebook to thumb rides，and not just to school．It's awkward to be refused when you call a friend and ask for a ride．But with Twitter，you just look for other people heading the same way．
    It may sound risky，so many teens stay within their own social circles to find rides，and don't branch out beyond friends when asking on Twitter just like me，but to some young people，especially those taking longer trips，stranger danger is less of a concern．
"I think the digital connection of young people is really key，because younger generations grew up sharing things on line，sharing files，photos，music，etc，so they've been very used to sharing，"said Juliet Schor，a sociology professor at Boston College．
    The sharing economy got big during the recession （經(jīng)濟衰退），allowing people to access more goods，services using technology and even to share costs．And that technology，for me，is what the car was for my mom，a gateway to more freedom，like what my friend Earl says，"The symbol of freedom isn't the car any more because there's technology out there connecting you to a car．"
According to the researchers at the University of Michigan，30 years ago，eight in ten American 18-year-olds had a driver's license compared to six in ten today．So it's not that surprising that on my 16th birthday I wasn't rushing to get a license but an iPhone．
"Driving，for young people，does mean they have to disconnect from their technology，and that's a negative．So if they could sit in the passage side and still be connected，that's going to be a plus．"Schor continued．
To me，another plus is that ridesharing represents something，something much bigger than trying to save money．I see it as evidence that people still depend on each other．My generation shares their cars and apartments the way neighbors used to share cups of sugar．For the system to work，some of us still need our own cars．But until I get my own version of the silver Super Beetle，you can find me on Twitter．

A．it is most fashionable and cool

A．Twitter is a website for teens to make friends and achieve goals
B．ridesharing can be seen as a sign that people still count on each other
C．driving cars for teens means a plus and connecting with technology
D．having a car and cost-sharing symbolize more freedom for the author's mother
31．Professor Juliet would agree thatD．
A．young people will sit waiting to be contacted by reading a passage
B．sharing economy is bound to be responsible for the recession
C．young people tend to share a car with strangers by means of Twitter
D．being connected via technology comes first for young people

解答 29-32 CBDC
29：C  細節(jié)題．由第六段第二句"So if they could sit in the passage side and still be connected，that's going to be a plus．"可知，年輕人喜歡與人保持聯(lián)系，所以喜歡在生日時得到一部 iPhone 作為禮物．故正確答案為C．
30：B  細節(jié)題．由最后一段前兩句"To me，another plus is that ridesharing represents something，something much bigger than trying to save money．I see it as evidence that people still depend on each other．"可知，作者認為 ridesharing 是人們仍然相互依賴的證據(jù)，所以B項正確．A項，文章未提及，所以A項錯誤．C項，由第六段第一句"Driving，for young people，does mean they have to disconnect from their technology，and that's a negative．"可知，駕車對年輕人來說意味著與科技脫離，是不好的．所以C項錯誤．D項，由第四段最后一句"The symbol of freedom isn't the car any more…"可知，對作者母親來說，并非擁有一輛汽車才象征著自由，所以D項錯誤．故正確答案為B．
31：D  細節(jié)題．由第三段第一句"I think the digital connection of young people is really key…"可知，Professor Juliet 認為，對年輕人來說，通過科技保持聯(lián)系很重要．故正確答案為D．
32：C 主旨題．文章主要介紹了年輕人喜歡利用 Twitter 來搭順風車；文章第一句"But with Twitter，you just look for other people heading the same way．"點明主旨，所以C項正確．A項，文章主要介紹年輕人利用 Twitter 搭車這種行為，而并非主要介紹這個網(wǎng)站，所以A項錯誤．B項，文章并非主要介紹在汽車和手機之間的選擇，所以B項錯誤．D項，過于籠統(tǒng)，無法體現(xiàn)文章主旨，所以D項錯誤．故正確答案為C．
