8、find people that take the same route on a daily basis as you and split the fare with them”可知，使用Lyft软件的特别之处是你可以找到与你同路的人分担路费，故D项正确。3What do the four apps have in common? AThey are available worldwide. BThey are tied to taxi companies. CThey allow users to pay via app. DThey can identify your location.

9、解析：C推理判断题。根据第一段最后一句可知，可以使用Uher软件支付；根据第二段最后一句可知，可以使用Lyft软件支付；根据第三段第三句可知，可以使用Easy Taxi软件支付；根据第四段最后两句可知，可以使用Curb软件支付，也可以用现金支付。据此可以判断，四个软件的相同之处是都可以用软件支付费用。干扰项分析：根据每一段的第一句可知，每个软件都有它的使用范围，并非全世界适用，故A项错误；B项文中只有第四段提及了，并不是所有软件，故B项错误；D项文中没有提及。B(2018陕西高三教学质量检测试题一)Many people have bought insurance，either life or

10、 property (财产)，commercial or compulsory. Yet some people know little about it and some even misunderstand its nature and function. Insurance is the sharing of risks. Nearly everyone is exposed to a risk of some sort.The house owner，for example，knows that his property can be damaged by fire；the shipo

12、 the needs of the few who do suffer losses.In other words，the losses of the few are met from the contributions of the many.This is the basis of insurance.Those who pay the contribution are known as the insured and those who manage the_pool_of_contributions as insurers.The legal basis of all insuranc

14、ally happens. The premium for insurance naturally depends upon how likely the risk is to happen，as suggested by past experience.If companies fix their premiums too high，there will be more competition in their area of insurance and they may lose business.On the other hand，if they make the premium too

16、iumCmoney paid by all those insuredDthe cost of administering insurance解析：C词义猜测题。根据第二段的“If these persons each put a small amount of money into a pool，there will be enough to meet the needs of the few who do suffer losses”可推知，the pool of contributions表示投保人所投的钱。干扰项分析：A项错在paid，根据第二段的“who manage the poo

17、l of contributions as insurers”可知这部分钱是由承保人来经营管理的；B项错在每一笔保险费，与语境pool不符；D项表示管理保险的成本，文章中并没有提到，故排除。5Insurance premiums do not become too high because _.Anot many people insure themselvesBpremiums depend on the risk of lossesCinsurers have to be more competitiveDinsurance companies can never lose money解析

18、：C细节理解题。根据最后一段的“If companies fix their premiums too high，there will be more competition in their area of insurance and they may lose business”可知，保险公司也有竞争，因此保险费不能定得太高，否则就没有竞争力，也就意味着可能会失去业务，故选C。6According to the passage，insurance business gains profit because _.Amore and more people buy insuranceBthe

19、firms have sound managementCthe premium is increased year by yearDonly a few of those insured suffer losses解析：D推理判断题。根据第二段的“On the other hand，not every house is damaged by fire nor every ship is lost at sea”“enough to meet the needs of the few who do suffer losses”和“the losses of the few”可推知，保险公司获利是

20、因为只有少部分投保人遭受意外风险。干扰项分析：A项表示越来越多的人买保险，文章只提到许多人买保险，并没有提到投保人增加的趋势；B项表示公司的经营很好，文章中并没有提到；C项错在保险费逐年增加，文章中并没有提到，故排除。7The purpose of the passage is to _.Aexplain an insurance policyBintroduce insurance businessCpersuade people to be insuredDwarn people of possible losses解析：B写作意图题。文章第一段点题，再结合全文的整体内容可推知，本文主要介

21、绍的是保险业务，故选B。干扰项分析：A项错在介绍保单，只在第三段提及；C项错在劝说人们购买保险，本文作者对保险进行了客观的介绍，并没有劝说之意；D项只是本文中所提到的一点，并不是本文的写作目的，故排除。C(2018湖北七市(州)教科研协作体联合考试)For many people who live in cities，parks are an important part of the landscape.They provide a place for people to relax and play sports，as well as a shelter from the often se

22、vere environment of a city.What people often overlook is that parks also provide considerable environmental benefits. One benefit of parks is that plants absorb carbon dioxide and give off oxygen，which humans need to breathe.According to one study，an acre of trees can absorb the same amount of carbo

23、n dioxide that a typical car emits in 11,000 miles of driving.Parks also make cities cooler.Scientists have long noted what is called the Urban Heat Island Effect：building materials such as metal and concrete(混凝土)absorb much more of the suns heat and release(释放)it much more quickly than organic surf

26、 a garden on their roof，human beings have been planting gardens on rooftops for thousands of years.Some rooftop gardens are simple container gardens that anyone can create with the investment(投资)of a few hundred dollars and a few hours of work. Rooftop gardens provide many of the same benefits as ot

27、her urban parks and garden spaces，but without taking up the muchneeded land.In the summer，rooftop gardens prevent buildings from absorbing heat from the sun，which can significantly reduce cooling bills.In the winter，gardens help control the heat that materials like brick and concrete release so quic

30、the Urban Heat Island Effect?AMore building materials.BMore trees and grass.CMore parking lots.DMore rooftop gardens.解析：A细节理解题。根据第二段的“Scientists have long noted what is called the Urban Heat Island Effect：building materials such as metal and concrete(混凝土)absorb much more of the suns heat.usually war

32、recent years.解析：C推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“reduce cooling bills”“leading to savings on heating bills”和“making their diets healthier”以及最后一段的整体内容可推知，屋顶花园能够降低取暖或降温的费用支出。同时，它还可以为蔬菜种植提供场地，为人们提供新鲜的蔬菜，从而使人们的饮食更健康，故选C。干扰项分析：A项和D项文章中没有提到；根据最后一段 的第一句“Rooftop gardens provide many of the same benefits as other urban parks

33、 and garden spaces，but without taking up the muchneeded land”可知，B项是错误的，故排除。11Whats the authors attitude towards rooftop gardens?ASceptical.BSupportive.CCritical. DObjective.解析：B考查观点态度。根据最后一段的第一句“Rooftop gardens provide many of the same benefits as other urban parks and garden spaces, but without tak
