考题 Text 1 It is a familiar ritual for many:after a late night out you reach for your smartphone to hail an Uber home.only to find-disaster-that the fare will be three times the normal rate.Like many things beloved by economists,"surge pricing"of the sort that occasionally afflicts Uber-users is both efficient and deeply unpopular.From a consumer's perspective,surge pricing is annoying at best and downright offensive when applied during emergencies.Extreme fare surges often lead to outpourings of public criticism:when a snowstorm paralysed New York in 2013,celebrities,including Salman Rushdie,took to social media to rail against triple-digit fares for relatively short rides.Some city governments have banned the practice altogether:Delhi's did so in April.Surge(or dynamic)pricing relies on frequent price adjustments to match supply and demand.Such systems are sometimes used to set motorway tolls(which rise and fall with demand in an effort to keep traffic flowing),or to adjust the price of energy in electricity markets.A lower-tech version is common after natural disasters,when shopkeepers raise the price of necessities like bottled water and batteries as supplies run low.People understandably detest such practices.It offends the sensibilities of non-economists that the same journey should cost different amounts from one day or hour to the next-and more,invariably,when the need is most desperate.Yet surge fares also demonstrate the elegance with which prices moderate a marketplace.When demand in an area spikes and the waiting time for a car rises,surge pricing kicks in;users requesting carsare informed that the fare will be a multiple of the normal rate.As the multiple rises,the market goes to work.Higher fares ration available cars by willingness to pay:to richer users,in some cases,but also to those less able to wait out the surge period or with fewer good altematives.Charging extra to those without good alternatives sounds like gouging,yet without surge pricing such riders would be less likely to get a ride at all.since there would be no incentive for all the other people requesting cars to drop out.Surge pricing also boosts supply,at least locally,The extra money is shared with drivers,who therefore have an incentive to l:ravel to areas with high demand to help relieve the crush.Whether Uber remains a big part of the transport network in future,and whether it retains surge pricing,depends in part on how well local govemments manage the transport system as a whole.In other words,surge pricing is really only as painful as local officials allow it to be.21.It can be inferred from Paragraph l that Uber's pricing strategyA.works efficiently in the market. B.has fluctuated in the late night. C.is criticised by both consumers and economists. D.will cause catastrophe during emergencies.

考题 Text 4 Ride-hailing giant Uber is buying the electric-bike start-up Jump Bikes,adding bike sharing to its transportation options'.Uber Chief Executive Dara Khosrowshahi announced Monday that his company had reached a deal to acquire Jump,which operates dockless bike-sharing services in San Francisco and the District of Columbia.The terms of the agreement were not disclosed.Tech Crunch reported last week that the sale could exceed$100 million."We're committed to bringing together multiple modes of transportation within the Uber app-so that you can choose the fastest or most affordable way to get where you're going,whether that's in an Uber,on a bike,on the subway,or more,"Khosrowshahi said in a blog post.The deal comes a few months after Uber launched a pilot program to integrate Jump services into the Ubcr app in San Francisco.The pilot,which enables people to find and reserve the bikes through the Uber app.is"off to a very srrong start,"Khosrowshahi said.Uber's move to acquire Jump signals the company's willingness to continue to expand its reach beyond its core ride-hailing services.Uber has been working to partner with fixed transit systems and has been pursuing autonomous veliicle ventures,food delivery services and now bike sharing.Both Ubcr and Jump say the goal is to offer multiple modes of transportation within the Uber app,to give users options to fast and affordable transportation and make it easier to live without owning a car."We're excited to begin our next chapter and to play a significant part in the transition of Uber to a multimodal platform,"Jump Bikes founder and Chief Executive Ryan Rzepecki said in a blog post Monday."Joining Uber presents us with the opportunity to realize our dreams faster and at a much larger scale."The Jump brand will continue as part of the Uber family,Rzepecki said.The neon red bikes available for rent in the nation's capital and the Bay Area are part of a growing market for dockless bike sharing.Dockless bike share companies are expanding across the U.S.,giving riders the freedom to locate GPS-tracked bikes through apps,unlock them and ride them from wherever the last user left them.In Washington,Jump is one of five dockless bike operators.It has deployed about 200 bicycles in the city and has become one of the most popular bike services,with each bike averaging 3.5 trips daily and 11 miles a day,according to a company spokeswoman.The bikes feature an electric motor in the front wheel and a battery concealed in the frame.Unlike other dockless systems,which can be left wherever there's sidewalk space,Jump bikes must be locked to a bike rack with an integrated U-lock that is held magnetically to the frame.It costs S2 for 30 minutes of ride time.38.What's Ryan Rzepecki's attitude toward being acquired?A.Promising.

考题 资料:Google and Uber have grabbed most of the attention regarding the advent of self-driving cars, but on Sunday, Lyft threw down the ultimate challenge: A majority of autonomous vehicles for Lyft within a mere five years.    The bold claim was made by Lyft co-founder John Zimmer in a post on Medium outlining his company's vision for the next decade.   "Within five years a fully autonomous fleet of cars will provide the majority of Lyft rides across the country," said Zimmer, indicating that early versions of such cars have been in operation in San Francisco and Phoenix.   Usually when tech founders lay out their vision, it’s typical to hear grand claims that almost push the boundaries of believability. That's what tech innovation is about. But in the case of self-driving cars, the situation is a bit more complicated.   Uber has already begun rolling out self-driving car tests in Pittsburgh and Google is hard at work on the same kind of solution on the West Coast. Therefore, talk of getting self-driving cars on the road is, at this point, less about the technology and more about logistics. We know Google has enough cash to triple down on any initiative it decides to tackle. And as the current ride-sharing leader in the U.S., Uber has enough market share-powered credibility that a future including self-driving Uber cars isn't unrealistic.   Today there are some internet-based ride sharing system but to overcome the critical mass the system has to be real-time, automated and extremely easy to use.   However in the case of Lyft, which continues to struggle against Uber (one report claims that Uber has over 80 percent market share in the U.S.), such a short timeline toward rolling out a fleet of self-driving cars seems somewhat ambitious. Nevertheless, Zimmer continues his vision essay with even more bold predictions.   "By 2025, private car ownership will all but end in major U.S. cities," says Zimmer, a prediction that, if it turns out to be true, would mean it would take just eight years for the majority of the human-driven cars on U.S. roads to disappear. Possible? Sure. Likely? Eight years seems like, once again, a bit of wishful thinking on Zimmer's part.   Remember, it hasn't even been 10 years since the arrival of the iPhone, and as recent events prove, smartphones are still a category that can yield catastrophic results if not done right. And those are just mobile devices, not vehicles entrusted with transporting and protecting human lives.   To be fair, Zimmer's essay does offer some facts and figures in an attempt to back up his positions, but much of it doesn't appear to take into account variables such as the heavily embedded interests of automobile companies still relying on consumer auto sales, as well as the many legal and roadway logistics that will need to be addressed in order to bring about this massive transformation in such a short time.   Oddly, Zimmer's vision does little to address the millions of human jobs that will be lost once self-driving cars displace not only taxi drivers, but truck drivers.   "We believe that in the first five or more years following the introduction of autonomous vehicles, the need for human drivers will actually increase, not decrease," writes Zimmer. "When autonomous cars can only solve a portion of those trips, more Lyft drivers will be needed to provide service to the growing market of former car owners," writes Zimmer.   But what about after five years, when autonomous cars can provide full service? What about the human drivers? The pushback from human drivers losing work will likely be another, major ripple in the evolution of self-driving cars, as well as other automated systems entering U.S. society in coming years.   However, none of these logistical issues diminish Zimmer's ideas. His vision of the future of autonomous vehicles seems quite logical and in step with most who work in and watch the space closely. But the speed bump in accepting his vision wholesale is his ambitious self-driving car timeline in general, and for Lyft in particular.  A.We need to reach everyone’s potential to realize self-driving cars B.There are still many problems to be solved in self-driving cars C.Lyft co-founder says most of its cars will be autonomous in 5 years D.The advantages and disadvantages of self-driving cars

考题 问答题The emergence of the Uber digital tide finder and the regulation questions it tends to raise have inspired debates, protests and supports around the world. The following are comments on legalization of ride-hailing service both from officials and ordinary citizens. Read the excerpts carefully and write your response in about 300 words, in which you should:  1. summarize briefly the comments from both sides;  2. give your comment.  Marks will be awarded for content relevance, content sufficiency, organization and language quality. Failure to follow the above instructions may result in a loss of marks.Government Authorities  Maranda Gibson, a representative from Los Angeles Department of Transportation: The drivers for Uber are not required to pass background checks or have their vehicles inspected for safety. They don’t have to pay the same taxes, insurance fees and licensing fees that taxi drivers do. While taxi drivers go through an extensive training course called “the Knowledge”, where drivers must learn 320 routes covering 25,000 streets, as well as important buildings and points of interest, Uber drivers can come straight with a car and GPS.  Boris Johnson, a British politician: I have sympathy for taxi drivers, but it would be “difficult” for the government to ban Uber. We’ve gone to the high court to get a ruling on this, and the issue is basically: is the driver’s mobile in the cab equivalent to a taxi meter? I can see why my learned friends might think that it is, because it’s receiving data about, or it’s calculating, the distance and time and the fare. And there are other lawyers who say that it isn’t, and that was the advice of the counsel to Transport for London. And so we’ve got a legal problem.Ordinary Citizens  Mary Williams: I think as long as the Uber drivers have the necessary background checks done (they don’t have any warrants, are not reckless drivers, and are properly insured) then they should be allowed to offer their services. The transportation market is changing as it should with technology. I think it’s great that Uber users are able to see their driver’s ratings and can hail them quicker than they can get a cab. It’s just a different way of doing business.  Matthew Yglesias: I think it’s pretty obvious that Uber does in fact need to be regulated. And regulated pretty heavily. After all, here’s the business: You’ve got people cruising around cities in medium sized metal boxes capable of traveling at high speeds and powered by burning gasoline. Left unregulated, these vehicles would poison the air and crush huge numbers of innocent pedestrians. Which is why it’s good that the federal government regulates what kind of automobiles are considered safe to drive and regulates what kind of vehicle emissions are acceptable, and it’s why state and local governments regulate both who is allowed to drive cars (with driver’s licenses), under what circumstances (with drunk driving laws), and of course what you’re allowed to do with a vehicle (with road rules). These are important things for the government to do.  Daniel Tencer: The regulatory issue around Uber is whether the rules governing rides-for-hire need to be drastically different than the rules governing driving-yourself-around. But you don’t need rules that specifically discriminate against rides for hire. Anything you want to do around driving yourself is presumptively legal, and you want to do around hiring someone else to drive you is presumptively illegal. But by all means, regulate cars-for-hire, just regulate them the same way you regulate the other cars.
