阅读理解

　　Shanghai：Car rentals(出租)are becoming more and more popular as an inexpensive way of taking to roads．Business people, foreign and families alike are making good use of the growing industry(工业)．

　　The first car rental company opened in Shanghai in 1992 and now 12 car rental players are in the game, with more than 11,500 cars in their books．

　　The largest player-Shanghai Basher Tourism Car Rental Center offers a wide variety of choices－deluxe sedans, minivans, station wagons, coaches．Santana sedans are the big favorite．

　　Companies can attract(吸引)enough customers(消费者)for 70 percent of their cars every month．This figure(数字)shoots up during holiday seasons like National Day, Labor Day and New Year’s Day, with some recording 100 % rental．

　　The main market force rests in the growing population of white-collar employees(白领雇员), who can afford the new service, said Zhuang Yu, marketing manager of Shanghai Angel Car Rental Co．

(1)

The words “deluxe sedans,” “minivans” and “station wagons” used in the text refer to(指)________．
[　　]
A．	cars in the making
B．	car rental firms
C．	cars for rent
D．	car makers

(2)

Which of the following statements is true according to the text?
[　　]
A．	70% of the cars can be rented out on holiday．
B．	70% of the customers are white-collar employees．
C．	More firms are open for service during holiday seasons．
D．	Some firms rent out all their cars during holiday seasons．

(3)

Shanghai’s car rental industry is growing so fast mainly due to________．
[　　]
A．	better cars supplied by producers
B．	fast service offered by car rental firms
C．	the increasing number of white-collar employees
D．	people’s growing interest in traveling during holidays

答案：1．C;2．D;3．C;
解析：

(1)

本题考查通过上下文对词汇的推测能力．解题的关键是准确理解 “Shanghai Basher Tourism Car Rental Center a wide variety of choices…”中的choices．在出租车公司中，这些车是供人们选择的，显然应是供出租用的．

(2)

本题考查考生快速捕捉文章细节事实的能力．解此题可用排除法，对所给选项进行逐一筛选．由第四段可知A是错误，B选项提出的论断在文章中并没有提到，C选项中的论述似乎很合情理，但仍属文章中没有提到的．

(3)

　　本题考查根据语境进行分析判断的能力．做本题的关键是理解第五段中的“The major market force rests in the growing population of white-collar employees…”中的rest in短语，要想理解这一短语，必须分析上下文之间的逻辑关系．由下文中的“who can afford the new service可知，the major market force”应是“the growing population of white-collar employees”的产物．

　　这篇短文围绕“汽车出租业在上海越来越流行”展开．第二、三、四段对这一消费热点作了进一步的说明，第五段则对导致这一现象的原因作了分析．

　　An American group developed the rooftop gardening in the early 1980s．The group is known as ECHO．This idea was to help people living in cities who did not have land to grow vegetables．And now it is becoming more and more popular in many other countries．
