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(顾客):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?
32.What does the underlined phrase"feeling the pinch"probably mean?A
A.Lacking in money                        
B.Full of curiosity
C.Willing to help others                          
D.Unsatisfied with their lives
33.Who may be against the sharing economy?D
A.A taxi driver who can't find a parking place.
B.A priest in the church near Kings Cross
C.A traveler who needs accommodation.
D.A well-known high-end holiday hotel.
34.Why are many people pleased to share according to the passage?B
A.Because they can gain huge profits.
B.Because there're few rules to limit them.
C.Because they needn't pay any fee.
D.Because the new business has no risks.
35.Which of the following words can best describe the booming sharing economy?C
A.Creative and developed                      
B.Competitive but unpractical
C.Effective but worrying                      
D.Traditional and acceptable.
5.Most animals have little connection with animals of a different kind,unless they hunt them for food.Sometimes,however,two kinds of animals come together in a partnership (伙伴关系) which is good for both of them.You may have noticed some birds sitting on the backs of sheep.This is not because they want a ride,but because they find easy food in the parasites (寄生虫) on sheep.The sheep allow the birds to do so because they remove the cause of discomfort.So although they  can manage without each other,they do better together.
Sometimes an animal has a plant partner.The relationship develops until the two partners cannot manage without each other.This is so in the corals (珊瑚) of the sea.In their skins they have tiny plants which act as"dustman",taking some of the waste products from the coral and giving in return oxygen which the animal needs to breathe.If the plants are killed,or are even prevented from light so that they cannot live normally,the corals will die.

21.Some birds like to sit on a sheep becauseA.
A.they can eat its parasites
B.they depend on the sheep for existence
C.they enjoy traveling with the sheep
D.they find the position most comfortable
22.The underlined word"they"in the last sentence of the first paragraph refers to
B.
A.birds and parasites
B.birds and sheep
C.parasites and sheep
D.sheep,birds and parasites
23.We learn from the text that the coral depends on the plant forD.
A.comfort        B.light          C.food         D.oxygen
24.What does the second paragraph mainly discuss?A
A.Some animals and plants depend on each other for existence.
B.Some animals and plants develop their relationship easily.
C.Some plants depend on each other for food.
D.Some animals live better together.
