35、 Javier Asensio rode the bus to school and around town on weekends. Then, when car-sharing arrived in Madrid a few years ago, he started driving more frequently. But for the past year hes changed to another choice: electric scooters (小型摩托车) in a rainbow of bright colors available across the city. “S

36、cooters are by far my first choice,” says the 27-year-old management consultant. “Traffic and parking are easy, and I love riding them.”A half-dozen companies have flooded Madrid with electric sit-down scooters. Riders pick them up and drop them off anywhere in the city center and surrounding areas,

37、 paying about 25 cents per minute. They are booked and billed via a smartphone app, which can guide users to the nearest bike, track how long theyve been riding, and e-mail a bill moments after they park. The city has about 5,000 scooters, up five times from a year agothe worlds biggest fleet (车队),

38、says Enrico Howe, an analyst at mobility consulting firm Motion Tag. Madrid is “the capital of scooter-sharing globally,” he says.Madrid had long struggled with heavy traffic and the resulting noise, pollution, and productivity loss. The government has fought back with various measures: electric car

39、-sharing, zones where combustion engines ( 内 燃 机 ) face limitations, and a proposal for free Metro rides on bad days. E-scooters will be a necessary part of the strategy (策略). The city has made it legal for scooters to use bus lanes ( 车 道 ), has allowed them to push ahead of cars at traffic lights,

40、and is seeking to expand the areas where they can be used.For the companies that provide the services, Madrid has become a testing ground as they eye expansion across Europe and beyond. The citys dry climate and overcrowded center make it a good place to try out equipment and better understand what

41、users want. And with so many operators jumping into the market, theyll all be forced to improve their efficiency if they hope to survive, says Luis Gonzalez, head of the local operations of Coup, a unit of Germanys Robert Bosch GmbH that arrived in Madrid last year. This year, Coup expects to increa

42、se its fleet in the city by 60 percent, to more than 1,300 bikes. “The lessons we learn in Madrid will be surely applied elsewhere,” he says.32. What is the function of the first paragraph?A. To arouse readers concern about the topic.B. To lead to the main subject of the whole passage.C. To explain

43、why Javier loves riding sharing scooters.D. To emphasize how important it is to travel on e-scooters.33. Which of the following is not a reason for the popularity of scooter-sharing in Madrid?A. They are easy to park.B. Its convenient to travel around on them.C. Its one of the measures the governmen

44、t takes.D. You can find the scooter available for use with ease.34. What can we learn from the article?A. The competition in the scooter-sharing market will be fierce.B. There will be some kind of limitation if expansion continues.C. The government is not planning to promote this kind of service.D.

45、Companies flood into the market because its good for environment.35. Which of the following can be the best title for the article?A. Testing Ground for E-Scooters.B. Crazy for E-Scooters in Madrid.C. Sharing Economy makes Life Better.D. Opportunities Facing Madrid Government. 第二节（共 5 小题；每小题 2 分，满分 1
