(39)F They are people who run things like traditional hotels and commercial car parks.They are afraid of ending up losing money.

分析 本文是一片应用文,主要介绍了一些能够获益的方法与例子.文中通过几个例子告诉我们只要能够用心观察每一处的机会,你就会成功从中获益.
解答 36.E.考查对上下文的理解和推理判断.前句提到两个问句Do you have a spare room in your house?Do you like to share your driveway in front of your garage with others,分别用两个疑问句来引出下文;后句中说道很多人都通过这种新的出租生意获益了.由此可判断此处说的是如果你那样做了,你会赚到钱,故选B.
37.G.考查对上下文的理解和推理判断.前句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中提到Airbnb这个网站应用在34,000座城市之间,而且它还具有800,00分房间和公寓的单子,由此可判断此处指的是这个网站公司看起来占据了大多数市场,故选A.
38.D.考查对上下文的理解和推理判断.前句It would have been so convenient if I could have just parked in that driveway rather than in a commercial (商业的) car park中提到的是一位成功人士的想法:如果我可以就近停在那个车库里就比停在停车场方便多了;后句Around 20,000 people have advertised their spaces on the website,and he says around half a million drivers use it中提到很多人都看到了这个广告,而且半个亿的司机都用了,由此可判断此处表达的意思是他的这种想法取得了巨大的成功,故选D.
39.F.考查对上下文的理解和推理判断.后句They are people who run things like traditional hotels and commercial car parks.They are afraid of ending up losing money提到在这个行业中有人也紧跟着想要进行这种事业,由此可判断此处表达的意思是停车的这种生意也有它的竞争对手,故选E.
40.A.考查对上下文的理解和推理判断.后句Regulations for these new businesses are unclear.How will renting out your driveway affect your neighbor?Because this is a new business world,those rules aren't there yet中的疑问句提出了出租车道的弊端-会影响到周围的邻居,由此可判断此处表达的意思应该是这种新型事业还存在的另一些问题,故选C.
点评 考察学生的细节理解和推理判断能力,做细节理解题时一定要找到文章中的原句,和题干进行比较,再做出正确的选择.在做推理判断题不要以个人的主观想象代替文章的事实,要根据文章事实进行合乎逻辑的推理判断.
