20、 your car？Both of these can help you make money.Many people who are feeling the pinch are taking advantage of whats been called the “sharing economy”Perhaps the bestknown example of a company in this field is Airbnban American web business which allows you to rent out your spare room to holidaymaker
21、s.It says it operates in 34,000 cities and it has over 1,500,000 listings.It seems to have concerned the market!A British company is doing something with parking spaces.Just Parks founder，Anthony Eskinazi，says，“When I had the original idea，I spotted a driveway close to a sports stadium.It would have
22、 been so convenient if I could have just parked in that driveway rather than in commercial car park.” And he has a big clientele：around 20,000 people have advertised their spaces on the site，and he says around half a million drivers use it.There are other sites doing very similar things，like Uber an

32、tecollar workers make a better living than bluecollar workers no longer holds true.The law of supply and demand now favors the skilled workmen.The reason for this situation is the traditional myth that college degree is a passport to a prosperous future.A large part of American society matches succe

39、理解题。答案定位在倒数第二段Whether they want to go to college or not doesnt matter.Everybody should go to college，so of course they must go.可知上大学不是出于学生本意，而是每个人应该上大学，所以他们当然必须去上大学，所以D不是大学入学人数增加的原因。14By saying that“many people go to college who do not belong there”，the author means that .Amany people who are not fi
40、t for college education go to collegeBmany people who do not have enough money go to collegeCmany people who go to college drop out within the first yearDmany people who go to college have their hopes destroyedA推理判断题。答案定位在最后一段Of the sixty percent of high school graduates who enter college，half of th
41、em do not graduate with their class.Many of them drop out within the first year.Some struggle on for two or three years and then give up.可知作者列举了三种情况，说明有些人不适合大学教育，故选A。15We can infer from the passage that the author believes that .Aevery young man and woman should go to collegeBcollege education is a
42、bad thingCpeople with a college education should receive higher payDfewer people should go to college while more should be trained for skilled jobsD推理判断题。阅读全文可知作者通过调查，告诉人们大学教育人才过多，而技术工人又非常缺乏，因而待遇反而更高；接着又分析了造成这种状况的传统观念；最后还谈到了很多人上了大学却因种种原因无法完成学业，所有这些都在暗示人们，上大学的人应该减少，而参加技术工作培训的人应该增多，故选D。第二节 (共5小题； 每小题2
