　　Shanghai：Car rentals(出租)are becoming more and more popular as an inexpensive way of taking to roads．Business people, foreign and families alike are making good use of the growing industry(工业)．

　　The first car rental company opened in Shanghai in 1992 and now 12 car rental players are in the game, with more than 11,500 cars in their books．

　　The largest player-Shanghai Basher Tourism Car Rental Center offers a wide variety of choices－deluxe sedans, minivans, station wagons, coaches．Santana sedans are the big favorite．

　　Companies can attract(吸引)enough customers(消费者)for 70 percent of their cars every month．This figure(数字)shoots up during holiday seasons like National Day, Labor Day and New Year’s Day, with some recording 100 % rental．

　　The main market force rests in the growing population of white-collar employees(白领雇员), who can afford the new service, said Zhuang Yu, marketing manager of Shanghai Angel Car Rental Co．

答案：1．C;2．D;3．C;
解析：

(1)

本题考查通过上下文对词汇的推测能力．解题的关键是准确理解 “Shanghai Basher Tourism Car Rental Center a wide variety of choices…”中的choices．在出租车公司中，这些车是供人们选择的，显然应是供出租用的．

(2)

本题考查考生快速捕捉文章细节事实的能力．解此题可用排除法，对所给选项进行逐一筛选．由第四段可知A是错误，B选项提出的论断在文章中并没有提到，C选项中的论述似乎很合情理，但仍属文章中没有提到的．

(3)

　　本题考查根据语境进行分析判断的能力．做本题的关键是理解第五段中的“The major market force rests in the growing population of white-collar employees…”中的rest in短语，要想理解这一短语，必须分析上下文之间的逻辑关系．由下文中的“who can afford the new service可知，the major market force”应是“the growing population of white-collar employees”的产物．

　　这篇短文围绕“汽车出租业在上海越来越流行”展开．第二、三、四段对这一消费热点作了进一步的说明，第五段则对导致这一现象的原因作了分析．

　　Several years ago, a television reporter was talking to three of the most important people in America．One was a very rich banker, another owned one of the largest companies in the world, and the third owned many buildings in the center of New York．

　　An American group developed the rooftop gardening in the early 1980s．The group is known as ECHO．This idea was to help people living in cities who did not have land to grow vegetables．And now it is becoming more and more popular in many other countries．

　　To build a rooftop garden, four things are necessary．You need a roof strong enough and four pieces of wood to build a box．Grass cutting in which to plant your garden and a thin piece of plastic on which to put the cut grass are also necessary．

　　Begin by testing(检测)your roof to make sure it is strong enough．Cut and collect some grass．Cover the roof with a thin piece of plastic．Then you build a box from the four piece of wood．The box has no top or bottom．It should be about 8cm deep．It can be as long and as wide as needed．Put the box on the plastic．Then fill in with the cut grass．Water the grass and push it down by walking on it．After about three weeks, the rooftop box is ready for planting．

　　Put the seeds(种子)directly into the wet grass．It is important that the grass is kept wet until the plants begin to grow．When the plants are growing, you will need to water them every day unless it rains．And birds must be prevented from eating the seeds or new plants．They will also need some liquid fertilizer(液体化肥)．You can make your own liquid fertilizer if you can get waste from chickens．Put the chicken waste in a cloth bag．Then put the bag in a big container(容器)of water．After about one week, the water becomes a good liquid fertilizer．

　　The rooftop garden is a good place go grow peas, tomatoes and onions．If the box is deep enough, potatoes and carrots also will grow．
