【正确答案】reading The university has intended to let students live close to each other ride to school by sharing their cars. The school considers that this ride-sharing program can help students save money and at the same time protect the environment by reducing pollution caused by the car emissions. opinion The woman prefers to this policy because of two reasons. reason 1 The first reason she chooses is that ride-sharing is cheaper than other ways of transportation, because it will make the cost of gasoline and car operation distributed among the members. Because the expense is much less than traveling by taxi, bus, or private cars, it can help students save their money. reason 2 Secondly, she is in favor of this policy very much because it is helpful to protect the environment. She says that in the program it requires fewer motor cars to transport students from home to school everyday, so it'll make contributions to climate change by emitting less carbon dioxide.

【答案解析】[听力原文] M: Hello, dear, have you heard of the new policy about ride-sharing? We have to organize car-pools for transportation. W: Well, I support this new policy. Maybe it can be very helpful to some extent. M: Can you explain it a little bit? I don't get it. W: Have you noticed that ride-sharing is one of the most common and cost effective alternatives for students' transport? I mean, the cost of sharing a ride is cheaper than a taxi or other means of transportation, because the cost will be divided among members. The program also helps lower the costs of gasoline or car operation since car- pooling needs few vehicles to transport students back and forth everyday. Isn't it great? M: Hmm, I can see your point. But other than costs, what else is it good for? W: Well, it helps protect our environment because fewer cars on the road also means less air pollution, including carbon emissions that contribute to climate change. M: I haven't thought of that! Your words make a lot of sense to me.
