But the sharing economy has its critics: the petitors of these new panies. People who run things like traditional Bamp。B, mercial car parks and taxi services are afraid of ending up out of pocket. And there is another issue: regulations on these new business 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 moneyB.Full of curiosityC.Willing to help othersD.Unsatisfied with their life（2）Who may be against the sharing economy? A.A taxi driver who can39。t find a parking placeB.A priest in the church near Kings CrossC.A traveller who needs acodiationD.A wellknown highend holiday hotel（3）Why are many people pleased to share according to paragraph 4?

A.Creative and developedB.Competitive but unpracticalC.Effective and worryingD.Traditional and acceptable【答案】（1）A（2）D（3）C（4）C 【解析】【分析】本文是一片應(yīng)用文，介紹了一些能夠獲益的方法與例子．文中通過幾個例子告訴我們只要能夠用心觀察每一處的機(jī)會，你就會成功從中獲益。（1）考查詞義猜測。根據(jù)第一段中的“Both of these can help you make money”推出feeling the pinch指的是那些缺錢的人出租自己的東西來獲取利潤。故選A。（2）考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。在第二和第三段舉了很多出租自己物品的例子，如：出租車司機(jī)，教堂里的牧師，旅行者。一家住房率很高的知名酒店肯定不需要共享。故選D。（3）考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段“Because this is a new business world，those rules aren39。t there yet and many people are happy to shareas long as it pays!”這句話告訴我們這種共享經(jīng)濟(jì)由于是新事物而且沒有規(guī)則約束，受到很多人的歡迎。故選C。（4）考查推理判斷。文章介紹里一種出租自己閑置物品的賺錢途徑即共享經(jīng)濟(jì)，可以帶來利益，但在最后一段中的“regulations on these new businesses are unclear”對這個新行業(yè)的規(guī)則還不明確。所以確定答案為Effective but worrying。故選C?！军c(diǎn)評】本題考點(diǎn)涉及細(xì)節(jié)理解，詞義猜測和推理判斷三個題型的考查，是一篇介紹類閱讀，考生需要準(zhǔn)確掌握細(xì)節(jié)信息，根據(jù)上下文進(jìn)行邏輯推理，從而選出正確答案。8．閱讀理解 Do you have good friends? Do you sometimes feel so close to them that they are like family to you? It turns out that this isn39。t just an expression. A study by Yale University and the University of California, San Diego, has found that you and your friends have more genes in mon than strangers do, the Guardian reported. Researchers looked at the genes of 1,932 people and pared them in pairs of unrelated friends and strangers. They found that friends have 1 percent of genes that match. One percent may not sound like much to the layperson (外行), but to geneticists (遺傳學(xué)家) it is a significant number, Professor Nicholas Christakis of Yale University told Discovery News. In fact, this is the same amount of genes you share with your fourth cousins, those who have the same greatgreatgreat grandparents as you. So is it a coincidence that you bee friends with people who share your genes? Not at all. In fact, it is evolution that brings you together. People who share certain genes also share skills and have similar likes and dislikes, researchers said. In ancient times, it was critical that people who were alike stayed together. For example, people who had a similar susceptibility (易感性) to the cold were more likely to help each other build a fire, giving them a better chance to survive. Researchers also found that among all the genes studied, those affecting sense of smell were the most similar in friends. This is probably because people who smell things in the same way are more easily drawn to similar environments. For example, people who like the smell of coffee may hang out at cafes more often and are therefore more likely to meet and bee friends with each other. Based on their findings, the team has developed an interesting test called the friendship score. It calculates how big the chances are that two people will be friends by studying their genes. So, here is a question for you: would you like to take this test and know in advance who your friends are going to be, or would you still prefer to figure it out by yourself and let time be the judge?（1）What is the author39。s main purpose in writing the article? explain why friends share skills and interests. report on recent findings about making friends. analyze what influences the way people make friends. explain an interesting test called the friendship score.（2）According to the researchers of the study, people _______. friendships by plete coincidence genetically similar to their friends, pared to strangers friends with those who share nearly 10 percent of their genes share more similar genes with their friends than with their fourth cousins（3）With the examples of ancient people developing the ability to speak and helping each other build a fire, the author intends to _______. how ancient people helped each other survive that similar interests are what lead to friendship that it is evolution that brings friends together us why it was easier for ancient people to find friends（4）According to the article, people with similar genes that affect their sense of smell ______. to hang out at cafes more often easily attracted to the smell of their friends more likely to be attracted to a similar environment identify people in a crowd who can bee friends【答案】 （1）B（2）B（3）C（4）C 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇新聞報道，來自耶魯大學(xué)和加利福尼亞大學(xué)的研究發(fā)現(xiàn)：與陌生人相比，朋友之間的基因有相似性，所以朋友有時更像是家人。 （1）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第二段中的“A study by Yale University and the University of California, San Diego, has found that you and your friends have more genes in mon than strangers do, the Guardian reported.”耶魯大學(xué)和加利福尼亞大學(xué)的研究發(fā)現(xiàn)：與陌生人相比，朋友之間的基因有相似性。可知，這篇文章主要講述關(guān)于交朋友的這項新發(fā)現(xiàn)。并且由“the Guardian reported”可知，這是一篇新聞報道，故選B。 （2）考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第二段中的“A study by Yale University and the University of California, San Diego, has fo
