driveway for your car? both of these can help you make money. many people who are feeling the pinch are taking advantage of whats 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. justparks 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 in 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 arent there yet and many people are happy to share. as long as it pays!but the sharing economy 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?1. what does the underlined phrase feeling the pinch probably mean?a. lacking in money.b. full of curiosity.c. willing to help others.d. unsatisfied with their life.2. who may be against the sharing economy?a. a taxi driver who cant 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.3. why are many people pleased to share according to paragraph 4?a. they can gain huge profits.b. they neednt pay any fee.c. therere few rules to limit them.d. the new business has no risks.4. which of the following words can best describe the booming business?a. creative and developed.b. competitive but unpractical.c. effective but worrying.d. traditional and acceptable.z.x.xkbi received a call today asking if i would be willing to bring food to a family in need. the mother was having a major operation and would be lying down for several weeks. of course, i responded with an immediate yes!. as i planned the meal in my head, i reflected on how many times over the years i had been asked to prepare food. i have done so countless times with a very open heart.but the truly amazing thing is that i have received double over the course of my life. when my mother passed away, our house was filled with fresh dinners for weeks. a woman from the church of our community stopped by each evening with some food. the gift of food was her small way of trying to ease our pain.later in my life, when i was on bed rest during my pregnancy with twins, women from the church again stepped in to help. they arranged babysitting for my two-year-old daughters, and brought lovely dinners to our house. even when i was in the hospital, my husband would bring cooked meals to my hospital room. how we relied on these dinners to feed my tired husband and young daughters.food is all about comfort. it feeds our bodies, but it can also feed our souls. when you hear people talking about their favourite holidays, it usually includes their feelings connected with sharing food. i know that i will have many more opportunities in my life to prepare food for others. it is truly a gift i want to prepare and deliver to someone in need.5. we can learn from the first paragraph that the author .a. had to stay in bed for several weeksb. knew the family in need very wellc. was glad to be able to lend a handd. was tired of preparing food6. which of the following is true about the author?a. her mother died when she was in hospital.b. she didnt get enough food during her pregnancy.c. she received food as well as comfort in her hard times.d. she thinks offering food is the best way to show love.7. what do we know about the authors family?a. her family is too poor to

can help you make money可知分享經濟的目的是賺錢。畫線詞后的內容告訴我們,許多人正在利用分享經濟(賺錢),由此可推知,feel the pinch應意為手頭拮據的,缺錢的。3. c【解析】考查細節理解。由第四段because this is a new business world, those rules arent there yet and many people are happy to share. as long as it pays!可知這種新型的分享經濟之所以受歡迎是因為它的規則少,限制也少。故選擇c。4. c【解析】考查推理判斷。通讀全文可知,這種分享經濟是有效的,但根據最后一段尤其是regulations on these new businesses are unclear. neighbor可知它的發展又是令人擔憂的。b【語篇解讀】作者的母親過世時,社區教堂里的女人給她帶過食物;作者懷孕時,社區教堂里的女人也給她帶過食物,并幫忙照顧她的兩個女兒。因此,今天有人需要幫助時,作者也非常愿意伸出援手。5. c【解析】推理判斷題。根據第一段中的of course, i responded with an immediate yes!可推斷出作者非常高興能幫助別人,故選c。6.

b【解析】主旨大意題。根據上下文可知,作者在自己困難的時候接受過別人的幫助,如今她也非常樂意幫助別人,由此可得出這么一個結論:分享愛,溫暖他人。故選b。. 語法填空【語篇解讀】這是一篇記敘文。文章主要講述了五歲的小女孩捐獻頭發給癌癥患者的故事。本題難度適中,且話題符合時代精神,傳遞正能量。1. called【解析】本題考查考生根據語篇的意義使用動詞的時態和語態的能力。根據語境及had been diagnosed可知,作者的媽媽打電話應該是過去的事情,因此應該用過去時。call與my mother之間為主謂關系,故應用主動語態。4. who【解析】本題考查考生根據語篇的意義使用定語從句關系詞的能力。分析句子結構可知,空格處引導一個定語從句,先行詞是those,指人,定語從句中缺少主語,應該用關系代詞who。5. hers【解析】本題考查考生根據語篇的意義正確使用代詞的能力。此處女兒問作者是否能夠把自己的頭發捐給外婆,表示她的頭發應該用her hair,再結合語法填空的特點,沒有給出提示詞應該填一個單詞,因此用hers。6. probably【解析】本題考查副詞的用法以及詞匯的詞性變化情況。空格處在賓語從句中修飾謂語動詞would like,應該用副詞probably。7. after【解析】本題考查考生根據語篇的意義使用連詞的能力。此處表示在作者同意之后,女兒決定剪掉頭發,并且很開心能與他人分享她的頭發。分析句子結構和語境可知,空格處需填一個表示在之后的連詞。8. excited【解析】本題考查考生根據語篇的意義使用-ing形式或-ed形式的形容詞的能力。此處表示女兒感到非常激動,應用-ed形式的形容詞。-ing形式的形容詞有令人的的意思,與語境不符。9. inches【解析】本題考查名詞單復數變化的知識。inch是可數名詞,此處表示剪掉了幾英寸頭發,故應該用其復數形式,又因為inch詞尾為-ch,因此應該在其后加es。10. choosing【解析】本題考查考生使用動名詞作介詞賓語的能力。由空格前的介詞for可知此處應該用choose的動名詞形式。. 短文改錯today, i woke up early and spent a whole
