Question

【題目】Thousands of taxi drivers in Shenyang, Liaoning province, reportedly blocked streets with their vehicles on Sunday in protest against unlicensed vehicles using taxi-hiring apps(打車軟件) and apps-based car rental companies providing passenger services, including high-end cars. Although the drivers also complained about the withdrawal of the fuel subsidy by the government, their main complaint was the loss of business because of the rising number of Internet-based car services companies.

On Wednesday, news reports came that Beijing transport authorities will take measures to stop the illegal “taxi business” of private cars through the newly rising Internet apps, following the footsteps of Shenyang and Nanjing.

It is not yet clear how the Shenyang city government will handle the issue and whether it will declare the services offered by market leaders such as Didi Dache, a taxi-hiring app provider backed by Tencent Holdings, and Kuaidi Dache illegal. But Shanghai transport regulators have set a rule, by banning Didi Zhuanche, or car services offered by Didi Dache in December.

Such regulations will cause a setback to the car-hiring companies and investors that are waiting to cash in on the potentially booming business. Just last month, Didi Dache got $700 million in funding from global investors, including Singapore state investment company Temasek Holdings, Russian investment company DST Global and Tencent. Besides, the market is uncertain that Kuaidi Dache is about to finalize its latest round of funding after getting $800 million from global investors.

Regulatory uncertainties, however, could cast a shadow on the future of the Internet-based car-hiring services, which have become popular in most of China’s big cities. To be fair, these companies’ business model is anything but bad. For example, Didi Zhuanche works side by side with established car rental companies to provide high-end car service mainly for businesspeople through the Internet and mobile phone apps.

Every link in this business model chain has legal companies and services. Hence, it is hard to define it as illegal and ban it.

B. Because they wanted to be educated how to use the taxi-hiring apps.

C. Because they wanted to make their main complaints known to the government.

試題分析：本篇為新聞報道，報道了沈陽出租車司機罷工的深層原因---軟件打車業(yè)務的快速發(fā)展，以及當前政府對軟件打車業(yè)務相對滯后和簡單的管理手段。

【1】細節(jié)理解題。根據文章第一段的敘述可知，沈陽出租車司機堵塞街道主要源于對“滴滴”打車、“快的”打車興起的不滿，因為軟件打車導致了他們生意冷清，此外政府取消燃油附加費也是沈陽出租車司機罷運的原因之一，而這一切都導致了他們生意冷清。結合四個選項的內容，只有C項能全面概括出租車司機因不滿而罷工的緣由。故選C。

【2】作者觀點態(tài)度題。根據文章第四段Such regulations will cause a setback to the car-hiring companies and investors that are waiting to cash in on the potentially booming business.“這樣的規(guī)則會對這種汽車租賃公司造成阻礙，也阻礙了準備投資進入到這種新興產業(yè)的投資者的腳步”和第五段Regulatory uncertainties, however, could cast a shadow on the future of the Internet-based car-hiring services, which have become popular in most of China’s big cities.“然而，規(guī)則的不確定性也給這種基于互聯(lián)網的汽車租賃服務行業(yè)蒙上了一層陰影，如今這種汽車租賃在中國很多大城市都很普遍了”。故選B。

【3】細節(jié)理解題。A項中 in all cities（在所有城市）明顯犯了擴大化的錯誤。故選A。

【4】推理判斷題。根據文章第四段可知，快的打車在上個月從全球投資者獲得資金7億美元，包括新加坡國家投資公司淡馬錫控股公司，俄羅斯投資公司DST國際和騰訊。由此可以得知一些外國投資公司對中國的軟件打車的發(fā)展是持有信心的。故選C。
