16．Suppose you don't need your car today．And suppose，as it happens，that a stranger in your area does need a car．Would you be willing to rent yours out？
Several car-sharing start-ups，including Getaround，RelayRides and JustShareIt，are eager to connect car owners with renters this way．The companies have different rules，but participating
owners receive，generally speaking，about two-thirds of the rental earnings．RelayRides says an owner of a midsize，late-model sedan who rents out a car for 10 hours a week could expect to clear about＄3，000 a year．
Peer-to-peer car sharing remains in the trial stage； it can be found in San Francisco and a few other places．It has a long way to go before it becomes the auto equivalent of Airbnb，the surprise success story for peer-to-peer sharing of space in apartments and houses．
Shelby Clark，founder of RelayRides，says potential investors in his company have been concerned that owners will be afraid to hand their car over to strangers．To address that，he points to Airbnb，saying，"Letting people sleep in your living room is much more of a disturbance into your personal space than letting someone use your car．"
All of these companies offer their own insurance coverage for their renters，which are supposed to put owners'minds at ease．But only two states-California and Oregon-have passed laws to clarify that an owner will not suffer any consequences should a car-sharing renter have an accident．
"In all the other states，legal ambiguity remains，"Shelby Clark says．"If a renter should be involved in a serious accident in those states，the victim can be expected to go after every party possible，including the car's owner．"
Also to remove the worries of car owners，the driving records of renters are checked for recent serious violations．

36．What does the underlined word"sedan"in Paragraph 2 probably refer to？A
A．A kind of car
B．An owner of a car．
C．A renting company．
D．A car-sharing renter．
37．Which of the following is true of Airbnb？B
A．It cares little about personal privacy
B．It deals with house-sharing successfully．
C．It is a very popular car-sharing company
D．Its ideas are being tried out in some states．
38．If a car-sharing renter should have an accident in California，the car's ownerB．
A．has to take legal responsibility
B．will not suffer the consequence
C．is not covered by health insurance
D．must pay the insurance for the renter
39．According to the text，more car-owners will participate in the service，ifA
A．legal ambiguity is clarified in all the states
B．renters are warned not to violate traffic rules
C．more money is given to participating owners
D．people are aware of the importance of sharing
40．It can be learned from the text that car-sharingD
A．makes no profit
B．remains in popularity
C．is against the state law
D．is a new business model．

分析本文主要介绍了现在美国兴起的一个共同使用小汽车的新兴行业．

解答 36-40 ABBAD
36题答案是A．词义猜测题．根据画线词前面的"an owner of a midsize，latemodel"及画线词后面的"who rents out a car"可推知，这里指的是"一种中型、新型的小汽车"，故选A．
37题答案是B．推理判断题．根据文章第三段中的"before it becomes the auto equivalent of Airbnb，the surprise success story for peertopeer sharing of space in apartments and houses"可知，Airbnb是一家成功进行房屋共享的公司，故答案为B．
38题答案是B．细节理解题．根据文章第五段中的"But only two states-California and Oregon-have passed laws to clarify that an owner will not suffer any consequences should a carsharing renter have an accident．"可知，在California和Oregon两个州，如果租用者出了事故，车主是不会受到任何影响的，故答案为B．
39题答案是A．推理判断题．根据第六段的内容可知，现在在美国的许多州，法律在关于共同使用小汽车这一点的规定上还是很模糊的，所以影响了这个行业的发展，如果把这些法律上模糊的情况明晰化的话，越来越多的车主将会参加这个活动．故选A．
40题答案是D．推理判断题．通读全文可知，共同使用小汽车是一个新兴的行业．故选D．

点评本文是政治经济类阅读理解．做这类题材阅读理解时要求考生对文章通读一遍，做题时结合原文和题目有针对性的找出相关语句进行仔细分析，结合选项选出正确答案．推理判断题也是要在抓住关键句子的基础上合理的分析才能得出正确答案，切忌胡乱猜测，一定要做到有理有据．

8．If two scientists at Los Alamos National Laboratory are correct，people will still be driving gasoline powered cars 50years from now，giving out heat-trapping carbon dioxide（二氧化碳）into the atmosphere-and yet that carbon dioxide will not contribute to global warming．
In a proposal by two scientists，vehicle emissions （排放） would no longer contribute to global warming．The scientists，F．Jeffrey Martin and William L．Kubic Jr．，are proposing a concept，which they have named Green Freedom，for removing carbon dioxide from the air and turning it back into gasoline．
The idea is simple．Air would be blown over a liquid solution of potassium carbonate，which would absorb the carbon dioxide．The carbon dioxide would then be put to chemical reactions that would turn it into fuel（燃料）：gasoline or jet fuel．
This process could change carbon dioxide from an unwanted，climate-changing pollutant into a vast resource for renewable fuels．The cycle-equal amounts of carbon dioxide produced and removed-would mean that cars，trucks and airplanes using the synthetic （合成的） fuels would no longer be contributing to global warming．
Although they have not yet built a synthetic fuel factory，or even a small model，the scientists say it is all based on existing technology．"Everything in the concept has been built，is operating or has a close cousin that is operating．"Dr．Martin said．
The Los Alamos proposal does not go against any laws of physics，and other scientists who have independently suggested similar ideas．r．Martin said he and Dr．Kubic had worked out their concept in more detail than former proposals．
There is，however，a major fact that explains why no one has built a carbon-dioxide-to-gasoline factory：it requires a great deal of energy．
According to their analysis，their concept，which would cost about 5billiontobuild，couldproducegasolineatanoperatingcostof1.40a gallon and would turn economically practical when the price at the pump hits $4.60a gallon．
Other scientists said the Los Alamos proposal perhaps looked promising but could not evaluate it fully because the details has not been published．"It's definitely worth pursuing，"said Martin I．Hoffert，a professor of physics at New York University．"It's not that new an idea．It has a couple of pieces to it that are interesting．"
58．What is the concept of Green Freedom？C
A．Removing the emission of carbon dioxide．
B．Reducing the carbon dioxide produced by car driving．
C．Recycling the carbon dioxide into gasoline．
D．Reserving the carbon dioxide for global warming．
59．What is the value of the scientists'proposal？C
A．It increases the productivity of a fuel factory．
B．It decreases the cost of producing gasoline．
C．It reduces the pollution caused by car driving．
D．It promotes a new idea of environmental protection．
60．The underlined part"has a close cousin that is operating"probably means the technology in the   conceptD．
A．has been popular for so long
B．has been ignored by many people
C．is not appropriate for practice
D．will be put into practice in the near future
61．What is the biggest challenge in realizing the concept Green Freedom？B
A．There is no theoretical basis．
B．It is not economically practical．
C．There is no solution to some technical problems．
D．Only a few scientists support the idea．

7．The Commonwealth games have meant that the eyes of the world have been focused on our fair city-Melbourne．And it would look pretty good，wouldn't it？And what better way to regain our title as world's most liveable city？I'm told that we recently lost the right to say this to foreign friends proudly when the international list was re-examined and we slipped to the fourth place．
It's hard to see how Melbourne could have lost its crown （桂冠） when you look at what it has to offer.24hours Coles，free transport for drunks on New Year's Eve，a new freeway，it's all here．
The first focus for the international press will obviously be the endless stadiums dotted around the city．But as well as being full every other weekend，these great places often play host to slightly older kids．At Rod Laver，even the olds get a look-in as the Christian evangelical （教会的） road show rolls into town once a year for a night of stadium worship （崇拜）．
Another pleasure Melbourne enjoys is that it's very easy to get around．There's a bit of a squeeze during rush hour for sure，but nothing like Bangkok，where the journey home can take longer than growing a beard and parking is barely distinguishable from the drive itself．Driving here is a piece of cake．It must be because the wise people who hand out the taxis seem to actively encourage a career behind the wheel within 24hours of landing in the country as an educational tool for getting to know the city．No slowing down for learning bends，just go，go，go!
As for the social life，with over 40million bars in Melbourne's CBD alone，we have plenty of places for spectators to celebrate national victory，making this town as good as any and it happens 24hours a day，7days a week．
Unfortunately，the athletes themselves don't get to smell the roses to the same degree．But the rest of the world will know that this is the place to be．The most liveable city in the world．By far the easiest place on earth to cheat death，which is essentially what we're talking about．

63．In Paragraph 1and 2the author is wonderingA．
A．how Melbourne has fallen behind
B．when the international list was re-examined
C．what they should do to regain the world's focus
D．whether Melbourne can offer greater convenience
64．What does the author mainly want to show in the passage？C
A．The casual life styles of Melbourne．
B．The various social activities in Melbourne．
C．The competitive advantages of Melbourne．
D．The convenient transportation in Melbourne．
65．From the underlined sentence，we can infer the athletesA．
A．have minimum social activities
B．take no interest in the beauty of the city
C．are forbidden to live in the busy city centre
D．are unwilling to celebrate the victory publicly
66．Which of the following shows the structure of the passage？D

CP：Central Point P：Point Sp：Sub-point （次要点） C：Conclusion．

4．When you're an employee of a company，no matter the size，it's common to see co-workers promoted，or transferred to a different department．But there is another way to move around-by creating a new position for yourself．I did this several years ago，though I wasn't actively looking for a different job．
In 2007，I was hired at the Transamerica Life Insurance Company，as a customer service representative in the distributions services department．I processed requests for distributions from our annuity（养老金）policy holders around the country．Someone might have forgotten to sign a form，for example，or might have omitted security information．To solve the problem，I'd mail the person a letter．
The company had been through several combinations，so in our department alone we had a collection of about 140 templates（模板） for letters related to distributions．The longer I worked with the letters，the more I saw how they could be improved．Some had overlapping information and could be combined．Some had incorrect grammar or needed updating．I also noticed that industry terminology（专业术语） wasn't standard across all the versions．
When I told my department supervisor about this in 2008，she agreed that the letters needed revamping．She said I should stop what I'd been doing and start the new work．In a relatively short time，I was able to make numerous improvements and reduce the number of letters to 70．It was an informal job change until a managers'meeting several months later．
At that meeting，a vice president who was unaware of my new work mentioned that the division's entire stock of 1，700 letters should be reviewed．My manager told her that she knew the perfect person for the job-me．The position was still considered temporary when I took on the extra tasks，but I was able to show that the work had value，and I was officially promoted and given a raise in November 2009．

31．According to Paragraph 1，which of the following statements is true？D
A．The author admired those who got a promotion in his company．
B．The author tried his best to get a promotion in his company
C．The author was eager to seek another job．
D．It is no surprise to see people around us change their positions．
32．Which of the following problems with the letters is NOT mentioned in the passage？B
A．Some information needed to be united．
B．Some information was overlooked．
C．Some had grammatical mistakes．
D．Industry terminology didn't meet the standard．
33．The underlined word"revamping"in Paragraph 4 is closest in meaning toA．
A．improving    B．rebuilding   C．repeating    D．strengthening
34．The author started to review the letters whenC．
A．he was hired by the company
B．his department supervisor agreed his idea
C．he was recommended at a managers'meeting
D．he was promoted
35．Which of the following is the best title for the passage？C

D．Ways to get a promotion．

8．The pupils of the remote Beau-Roc primary school in Haiti are singing．One of them plays a guitar made from an empty oil tin．Their headmistress，Emile Jean-Noel，is one of the few women school principals in the country．
Over 70% of Haitian population live below the poverty line with inadequate food，water，schools，or housing．To reduce the hunger that prevents learning and to encourage parents to send their children to school，meals are provided by the World Food Programme．
"We are so cut off we have many difficulties，"comments Emile，adding that finding chalk，school books and other materials is practically impossible．Emile tries to encourage those around her to make use of all available resources．Her efforts are bearing fruit．One of her successes was convincing local women to contribute to their children's schooling and increase their own income by selling embroidery（刺绣） and other handicrafts．
Recent political instability has meant that the country has not invested in education for ten years．Enrolment（入学） is a mere 44per cent and a little less than a half of those entering primary school finish it．Less than a third of these go on to secondary school．In rural areas it is not rare to find 17-and 18year-olds in primary school．Beau-Roc has only 4teachers for 260pupils．Emile works constantly to improve her pupils'environment．Under her direction，a local worker is now constructing a storehouse for the food delivered regularly by the World Food Programme．
Not only is Emile's salary too little，but she receives it irregularly．For her，transport is a real headache．She lives five kilometers away and has to take a privately-owned bus，costing more than she can afford．
"The decision to be a rural teacher in Haiti should not be taken lightly"，Emile comments．"With all the sacrifices and risks it requires，only those who are really cut out for teaching should do it．"Nevertheless，Emile loves her job．"I always feel at home with the children and，the parents understand what I'm doing．"

64．What theme is presented in this passage？A
A．Devotion to education
B．Poverty and hardship
C．Politics and children
D．Love and beauty
65．Which of the following is extremely difficult for Beau-Roc primary school？D
A．Teaching the women how to make embroidery and other handicrafts．
B．Persuading local women to care about their children's education．
C．Encouraging those around her to use those available resources．
D．Finding chalk，school books and other materials．
66．In the last paragraph，"those who are really cut out for teaching"are those who areC．
A．dismissed from teaching
B．unfamiliar with teaching
C．qualified for teaching
D．cautious about teaching．
