【语篇解读】 本文介绍了四种不同的打车软件。
1.Whichappisavailableinthemostcountries?
A.Uber. B.Lyft.
C.EasyTaxi.D.Curb.
解析:
A 细节理解题。
通读全文可知,文章每一段的第一句都介绍了不同软件的使用范围,Uber可以在40个国家使用,Lyft可以在美国的很多大城市使用,EasyTaxi可以在26个国家使用,Curh可以在美国、英国、墨西哥、加拿大使用。
据此可知,可使用Ubcr软件的国家最多,故A项正确。
2.What'sthespecialserviceofLyft?
A.Youcanpaythefareincash.
B.Youcanseewhereyourrideis.
C.Youcangetfarequotesinadvance.
D.Youcanfindsomeonetosharethefare.
解析:
D 细节理解题。
根据第二段的“Withthisservice,youcanfindpeoplethattakethesamerouteonadailybasisasyouandsplitthefarewiththem”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。
3.Whatdothefourappshaveinmon?
A.Theyareavailableworldwide.
B.Theyaretiedtotaxipanies.
C.Theyallowuserstopayviaapp.
D.Theycanidentifyyourlocation.
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EasyTaxi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。
