Question

【題目】 Private car services that work only with women are becoming more popular in Brazil due to concerns about safety. One of the car services has a mobile app called Femi Taxi .It has more than 1，000 drivers giving some 20，000 rides per month.

Femi Taxi has expanded into six Brazilian cities and may go to other Latin American markets.

A competing app ,Lady Driver ,was set up in Sao Paulo in March.It has 8，000 drivers and over 100,000 users.

It plans to expand operations to Rio de Janeiro this month .The rapid growth of these apps in cities such as Sao Paulo highlights the rising concerns about public safety in Brazil .From August 2016 to August 2017,reports of crimes(犯罪)such as attempted rape rose by more than 10 percent in Sao Paulo state.

Wellknown transportation companies, such as Uber, along with Spain's Cabify and 99，have also increased efforts to improve safety for drivers and passengers in Brazil this past year.

Highprofile cases of sexual assault(襲擊)on public buses have drawn attention to the issue of violence against women.

Metros in the cities of Belo Horizonte and Recife have recently started femaleonly train cars.There have been femaleonly cars in Rio de Janeiro's trains for over a decade.

Gabriela Correa is the founder and CEO of Lady Driver.

“I think the problem of sexual harassment(騷擾)in public transport always existed，but it wasn't discussed，” she said.

“Now__women__are__standing__up,taking__initiatives__like__our__own__to__seek__safety.”

【解析】

本文講述了由于擔(dān)心安全問題，僅針對女性的私家車服務(wù)在巴西越來越受歡迎。其中一家汽車服務(wù)公司有一款名為Femi Taxi的移動(dòng)應(yīng)用。該公司有1000多名司機(jī)，每月提供約2萬次服務(wù)。Femi Taxi已擴(kuò)展到巴西6個(gè)城市，并可能進(jìn)軍其他拉美市場。面向女性司機(jī)和乘客的叫車應(yīng)用并非巴西獨(dú)有。See Jane Go是一款全女性交通應(yīng)用，于2016年在美國加利福尼亞州推出。另一家競爭公司Safr今年早些時(shí)候在美國城市波士頓成立。

【1】考查推理判斷題。由“Private car services that work only with women are becoming more popular in Brazil due to concerns about safety.”可知，文章主要談?wù)摿顺鲇诎踩�方面的考慮，女性專用私家車服務(wù)在巴西越來越流行。故選A。

【2】考查細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段第一句“A competing app，Lady Driver，was set up in…”可知是女司機(jī)，選C。

【3】考查推理判斷題。根據(jù)第三段第一句“A competing app，Lady Driver，was set up in Sao Paulo in March. It has 8，000 drivers and over 100,000 users.”可知公司成立于3月份，選項(xiàng)A不正確。根據(jù)“Wellknown …h(huán)ave also increased efforts to improve safety for drivers and passengers in Brazil this past year.”可知在過去的一年中，巴西的一些運(yùn)輸公司也加大了對司機(jī)和乘客安全的改善力度，選項(xiàng)B 正確；根據(jù)“Private car services that work only with women are becoming more popular in Brazil due to concerns about safety.”可知由于安全問題，只對女性開放的私家車服務(wù)越來越受歡迎，選項(xiàng)C正確；根據(jù)“Highprofile cases of sexual assault(襲擊)on public buses have drawn attention to the issue of violence against women.”可知公共汽車上備受關(guān)注的性侵犯案件引起了人們對針對婦女的暴力行為的關(guān)注，選項(xiàng)D是正確的；故選A。

【4】考查推理判斷題。Gabriela Correa認(rèn)為公共交通上的性騷擾現(xiàn)象一直存在，只不過沒有公開談?wù)�。而如今各種女性專用私家車服務(wù)越來越流行，由此可推斷出畫線句子表示“如今的女性們開始主動(dòng)尋求安全”，故選D。
