According to the researchers at the University of Michigan, 30 years ago, eight in ten American 18-year-olds had a driver’s license compared to six in ten today. So it’s not that surprising that on my 16th birthday I wasn’t rushing to get a license but an iPhone.
“Driving, for young people, does mean they have to disconnect from their technology, and that’s a negative. So if they could sit in the passenger side and still be connected, that’s going to be a plus,” Schor continued.
To me, another plus is that ridesharing represents something, something much bigger than trying to save money. I see it as evidence that people still depend on each other. My generation shares their cars and apartments the way neighbors used to share cups of sugar. For the system to work, some of us still need our own cars. But until I get my own version of the silver Super Beetle, you can find me on Twitter.
7. The American teens like me, prefer to possess an iPhone as a birthday gift because ______. A. it is most fashionable and cool
B. they are bored with driving cars D. it is much cheaper than a car
C. they are fond of being connected
8. Professor Juliet would agree that _______.
A. young people will sit waiting to be contacted by reading a passage B. sharing economy is bound to be responsible for the recession C. young people tend to share a car with strangers by means of Twitter D. being connected via technology comes first for young people 9. The best title for the passage is probably _______. A. Twitter, an Awesome Website
B. Cars or iPhone D. Cool Teens on the Go
C. Teens Use Twitter to Thumb Rides 【答案】【知识点】C7 社会生活类

7.C细节题：根据“I think the digital connection of young people is really key, because younger generations grew up sharing things on line, sharing files, photos, music, etc, so they’ve been very used to sharing,” said Juliet Schor, a sociology professor at Boston College. 可知美国青少年喜欢拥有苹果手机作为生日礼物是因为他们喜欢被联系，故选C

9.C主旨题：根据第一段提到Well, parents, surprise! Lots of us are using Twitter and Facebook to thumb rides, and not just to school. It’s awkward to be refused when you call a friend and ask for a ride. But with Twitter, you just look for other people heading the same way. 可知这篇文章最好的题目是年轻人用twitter联系便车，故选C项。
【题文】D
Three-quarters of a million tourists flock to the white beaches every year，but this booming industry has come at a price．Poisonous smoke rising from open fires，rubbish made up of plastic bottles，packets…it’s a far cry from the white sands，clear waters and palm trees that we associate with the Maldives(马尔代夫)，the paradise island holiday destination set in the Indian Ocean． Of its 200 inhabited islands，which are spread across an area of 35，000 square miles，99 are good resorts(旅游胜地)．So many tourists come every year，more than double the local population．Of these，over l 00，000 travel from the U K．The capital，Malé，is four times more densely populated than London．Given these facts，it’s hardly surprising that the Maldives has a waste disposal problem．
Years ago，when the tourists left，the government had to deal with a stream of rubbish．Their solution was to turn one of the islands into a dumping ground．Four miles west of Malé is the country’s dumping ground，Thilafushi．What you are seeing here is a view of the Maldives on which no honeymooners will ever clap eyes．Each visitor produces 3.5 kg of waste per day．The country dumps more than 330 tons of rubbish on the island every day．
Now，since many waste boats，fed up with waiting seven hours or more，directly offload their goods into the sea，the government of the Maldives has banned the dumping of waste on the island．So，the waste boats ship the rubbish to India instead． 10. The underlined part can probably be replaced by ___________. A. it’s quite similar to C. it’s a loud shout from
B. it’s a long distance from D. it’s totally different from
11. What can we learn from the text?
A. It is much more crowded in Malé than in London.
B. Another island will be used as a dumpling ground. C. No honeymooners are willing to visit the Maldives. D. Waste on islands will be offloaded directly into the sea. 12. What’s the author’s purpose in writing the text? A. To attract more tourists to the Maldives.
B. To state the waste disposal problem in the Maldives. C. To call on us to protect the environment.
D. To explain the causes of pollution in the Maldives. 【答案】【知识点】C7 社会生活类

Exploit your parking space
An unused parking space or garage can make money. If you live near a city center or an airport, you could make anything up to ￡200 or ￡300 a week. Put an advertisement（广告）for free on Letpark or Atmyhousepark. Rent a room
Spare room? Not only will a lodger（房客）earn you an income, but also, thanks to the government-backed “rent a room” program, you won’t have to pay any tax on the first ￡4500 you make per year. Try advertising your room on Roomspare or Roommateeasy. Make money during special events
Don’t want a full-time lodger? Then rent on a short-term basis. If you live in the capital, renting a room out during the Olympics or other big events could bring in money. Grashpadder can advertise your space. Live on set
Renting your home out as a “film set” could earn you hundreds of pounds a day, depending on the film production company and how long your home is needed. A quick search on the Internet will bring up dozens of online companies that allow you to register your home for free—but you will be charged if your home gets picked. Use your roof
You need the right kind of roof, but some energy companies pay the cost of fixing solar equipment(around￡14,000), and let you use the energy produced for nothing. In return, they get paid for unused energy fed back into the National Grid. However, you have to sign a 25-year agreement with the supplier, which could prevent you from changing the roof.
13. If you earn ￡5000 from renting a room in one year, the tax you need to pay will be based on ______. A. ￡800
B. ￡500
C. ￡4500
D.5000
14. If you want to use energy free, you have to_____.
A. sign an agreement with the government B. pay around ￡14,000 for the equipment C. sell the roof to some energy companies D. keep the roof unchanged for within 25 years 15. For whom the text most probably written? A. Lodgers.

【文章综述】 本文向业主提供了几种如何有效利用自己房屋并使自己从中获益的方式。 【答案解析】
13.B计算题。根据第二段第二行you won’t have to pay any tax on the first ￡4500 you make per year.说明你最先挣的4500是不要交税的，超过部分是要交税的。那么5000元中只有500元是要交税的。故B正确
14.D细节题。根据最后一段you have to sign a 25-year agreement with the supplier, which could prevent you from changing the roof.和 let you use the energy produced for nothing可知所签的合同要求你25年内不改换房顶，故说明D正确
