The program tries to teach the shelter residents self-reliance（自立）and work values, and includes courses on planning and personal responsibility.“I learned I still have opportunities to change it and I can change it,” said shelter resident Lewis Webster. “It is just about going forth in doing necessary work to do it.

But many supporters have overlooked the reality that this new business model is largely based on escaping regulations and breaking the law.Airbnb is an Internet-based service that allows people to rent out spare rooms to strangers for short stays. Uber is an Internet taxi service that allows thousands of people to answer ride requests with their own cars. There are hundreds of other such services.The good thing about the sharing economy is that it promotes the use of underused resources. Millions of people have houses or apartments with empty rooms, and Airbnb allows them to profit from these rooms while allowing guests a place to stay at prices that are often far less than those charged by hotels. Uber offers prices that are competitive with standard taxi prices and their drivers are often much quicker and more trustworthy.But the downside of the sharing economy has gotten much less attention. Most cities and states both tax and regulate hotels, and the tourists who stay in hotels are usually an important source of tax income. But many of Airbnbs customers are not paying the taxes required under the law.Airbnb can also raise issues of safety for its customers and trouble for hosts neighbors. Hotels are regularly inspected to ensure that they are not fire traps and that they dont form other risks for visitors. Airbnb hosts face no such inspections.Since Airbnb is allowing people to escape taxes and regulations, the company is simply promoting thefts. Others in the economy will lose by bearing an additional tax burden or being forced to live next to an apartment unit with a never-ending series of noisy visitors.The same story may apply with Uber. Uber is currently in disputes over whether its cars meet the safety and insurance requirements imposed on standard taxis. Also, if Uber and related services flood the market, they could harm all taxi drivers ability to earn a minimum wage.This downside of the sharing needs to be taken seriously, but that doesnt mean the current tax and regulatory structure is perfect.8. What is the positive thing about the sharing economy?A. It is a global trend. B. It is beyond regulations.C. It draws on spare resources. D. It brings in modest profits.9. What is the problem with Airbnb customers according to the passage?A. They are not regularly inspected. B. They are likely to commit thefts.C. They are allowed not to pay taxes. D. They can be noisy to hosts neighbors.10. What is the argument over Uber according to the passage?A. Whether it guarantees customers, safety.B. Whether it provides reliable services.C. Whether it lowers customers expenses.D. Whether it can compete with standard taxis.11. What will be talked about in the following paragraphs?A. Existing regulations and laws.B. Necessary improvements of current laws.C. Further development of Airbnb and Uber.D. More downsides of Airbnb and Uber.【答案】8. C 9. D 10. A 11. B【解析】试题分析：文章讲述了共享经济的利弊与发展。8. C 细节理解题。根据The good thing about the sharing economy is that it promotes the use of underused resources.可知共享经济模式的一大好处就是促进了闲置资源的利用，故选C。9. D 细节理解题。根据Airbnb can also raise issues of safety for its customers and trouble for hosts neighbors.可知空中食宿的问题就是这些顾客对于主人来说有些喧闹，故选D。10. A 细节理解题。根据Uber is currently in disputes over whether its cars meet the safety and insurance requirements imposed on standard taxis.可知对于优步的争议在于它的安全性，故选A。11. B 下文推测题。根据This downside of the sharing needs to be taken seriously, but that doesnt mean the current tax and regulatory structure is perfect.可知文章最后在谈论共享经济的缺陷在于当前法律法规的不完善，故下文会接着谈这个问题，故选B。【名师点睛】作者态度及写作意图推断每一篇文章都会包含作者的某种观点和态度，只不过有的直截了当，有的含而不露，有的通过所用词语的褒贬来体现。此类题可细分为作者态度题(表明作者的好恶)和作者观点题(表明作者对某事物的看法)。准确把握作者的情感和态度，需要注意以下几点：1.作者对某一事物的看法,要么支持,要么反对,带中立色彩的词最不可能是正确答案。2.漠不关心类词语往往不对,既然写文章就不会不关心。3.不要把自己的态度揉入其中,也要区分作者的态度和作者引用的别人的态度。4.当作者的态度没有明确提出时,要学会根据作者使用词语的褒贬性来判断。5.作者的观点一般与文章的主旨相关联。6.绝对化或语气过于强烈的选项常常是错误的,如:strong, complete, entire等。考点：社会类科普阅读。DIt seems that technology could be changing the places where we live. A project conducted by Johann Siau, a senior lecturer at the University of Hertfordshires School of Engineering and Technology, has built on the universitys InterHome project aimed to create a home that supervises people living at home who are weak or elderly.“Weve developed a wristband type of device（装罝）,” said Johann Siau, “which allows us to monitor the condition of an elderly person, or whoever is wearing the device. It allows us to collect data of a person to see if the person has fallen or is away from where they are supposed to be. It connects an elderly person with an assisted living type of device with the InterHome.” The assisted living project is part of the universitys wider InterHome project, which is the development of a smart house. The house stores the usage patterns of the person living there and can adapt to make it use as little energy as possible. Connecting the two together and building the service element（元素）allow us to introduce the assisted living idea to care for the elderly. Its very important that these technologies are there to help and support rather than to replace any of the existing services.The InterHome is not just a prototype（样品）or a vehicle for research. Its a study tool to help students from different scientific backgrounds learn about and develop technology. The InterHome combines the latest broadband technology, mobile data and communication. Researchers and students make sure that all the technology works together. Students get experience by developing new hardware and software themselves. It requires a variety of skills from studentselectronic engineers, computer students, design students ad so on. “The present plan we are working on is a smart home project in Watford with some commercial companies, ” said Johann Siau. “We are looking at how a smarter home can provide extra value services.”12.

Call on the students to care for old people.B. Provide better care and services for the elderly.C. Carry out all the work the existing services do.D. Develop houses that mainly aim to save energy.14. What can we learn about the InterHome project from the article?A. It is a large collection of many existing technologies.B. It is just a platform to help students to do research work.C. It is a smart home project developed by different universities.D. It allows students to put into use and try out what theyve learned.15. What is the main purpose of the author in writing this article?A. To build up a new platform for students to develop new technology.B. To show how future buildings will change elderly peoples way of life.C. To describe a new project that aims to develop a smart home for the elderly.D.
