Question

6．Do you have a spare room in your house？What about a driveway for your car？Both of these can help you make money．Many people who are feeling the pinchare taking advantage of what's been called the"sharing economy"．
   Perhaps the best-known example of a company in this field is Airbnb-an American web business which allows you to rent out your spare room to holidaymakers．It says it operates in 34，000 cities and it has over 1，500，000 listings．It seems to have cornered the market!
   A British company is doing something with parking spaces．JustPark's founder，Anthony Eskinazi，says，"When I had the original idea，I spotted a driveway close to a sports stadium．It would have been so convenient if I could have just parked in that driveway rather than a commercial car park．"And he has a big clientele（顧客）：around 20，000 people have advertised their spaces on the site，and he says around half a million drivers use it．There are other sites doing very similar things，like Uber and Lyft-these let drivers share their cars with other passengers．Any driver knows how valuable a place to park is．A church near Kings Cross in central London has apparently made over£200，000 by renting out space in its yard to travelers!
   Because this is a new business world，those rules aren't there yet and many people are happy to share-as long as it pays!
   But the sharing company has its critics：the competitors of these new companies．People who run things like traditional B&B，commercial car parks and taxi services are afraid of ending up out of pocket．And there is another issue：regulations on these new businesses are unclear．How will renting out your driveway affect your neighbor？

Answer 1

分析 本文是一片應(yīng)用文，主要介紹了一些能夠獲益的方法與例子．文中通過幾個例子告訴我們只要能夠用心觀察每一處的機會，你就會成功從中獲益．

解答 A D B C
32．A 猜測詞意．通過Both of these can help you make money這句話推出feeling the pinch指的是那些缺錢的人出租自己的東西來獲取利潤．
33．D 細節(jié)題．在第二和第三段舉了很多出租自己物品的例子，如：出租車司機，教堂里的牧師，旅行者．一家住房率很高的知名酒店肯定不需要共享．
34．B細節(jié)題． Because this is a new business world，those rules aren't there yet and many people are happy to share-as long as it pays!這句話告訴我們這種共享經(jīng)濟由于是新事物而且沒有規(guī)則約束，受到很多人的歡迎．
35．C推理判斷題．文章介紹里一種出租自己閑置物品的賺錢途徑即共享經(jīng)濟，可以帶來利益，但在最后一段regulations on these new businesses are unclear對這個新行業(yè)的規(guī)則還不明確．所以確定答案為Effective but worrying．

點評 做閱讀理解時要快速的瀏覽全文，把握文章主旨大意，帶著問題回到原文，尋找細節(jié)或概括相應(yīng)的答案，最后要理清作者寫作思路．
