Question

【题目】根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。

Do you have a spare room in your house? Do you like to share your drive way in front of your garage with others? Both of these can help you make money. 【1】

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 800,000 listings of rooms and apartments. 【2】

A British company is doing something with parking spaces. JustPark’s founder, Anthony Eskinaizi, 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 the driveway rather than in a commercial car park.” 【3】 Around 20,000 people have advertised their spaces on the website, and he says around half a million drivers use it.

【4】 They are people who run things like traditional hotels and commercial car parks. They are afraid of ending up losing money.

【5】 Regulations for these new businesses are unclear. How will renting out your driveway affect your neighbour? Because this a new business world, those rules aren’t there yet.

A. And there is another problem.

B. A commercial car park is inconvenient.

C. And his great idea has proved a success.

D. But the new business of renting has its competitors.

E. They seem to have occupied the majority of the market.

F. But the government says no to the new business of renting.

Answer 1

【答案】

【1】G

【2】E

【3】C

【4】D

【5】A

【解析】

试题分析: 在网络上出租家里空闲的房子和车道是生财之道。这方面传统的经营者们恐怕会赔本，政府不支持，不过规定还没有出台。

【1】G 考查对上下文语境的理解。空前的意思是：和人分享空房间和车库前的地方都可以帮助你赚钱，所以这里选G（很多人正在受益于这种新的租赁业务。）与上下文一致。

【2】E考查对上下文语境的理解。空前的意思是：美国的Airbnb在网络上做这方面的业务做得很好，所以这里选E（但政府对此说不。）与上下文一致。

【3】C考查对上下文语境的理解。空前的意思是：JustPark’s的创始人Anthony Eskinaizi做了一个出租停车位的生意，很火爆。空后的意思是：大约2万人在网站上登记出租车位，有约50万名司机受益。所以这里选C（他的想法很成功。）与上下文一致。

【4】D 考查对上下文语境的理解。空后的意思是： 从事传统的酒店和商业停车场之类的人恐怕最终会赔本。所以这里选D（但是出租的新业务也有很多竞争对手。）与上下文一致。

【5】A考查对上下文语境的理解。空后的意思是：这些新的商业法规尚不清楚。租你的车道上将如何影响你的邻居? 因为这是个新的商业世界，规则还没有。 所以这里选A（还有一个问题。）与上下文一致。
