The concept of sharing goods and services with your community as a means of economic transaction is ancient. But thanks to the Internet， the concept now has global scale at the click of a button. It's called the sharing economy. As its most basic， the sharing economy， also known as the collaborative or peer-to-peer economy，is about connecting individuals with resources to others that want them. It often works through lending or borrowing but can also involve the financial transaction of goods of services. While the concept of sharing economy has been round for some time，the coming of apps and smart phone technology means that it's easier for individuals to participate in peer-to-peer sharing transactions in real time. There are many reasons why people participate in the sharing economy，but here are some of the biggest ones： Finding temporary accommodation while traveling can be stressful- especially if you're looking for something on short notice. Thanks to the sharing economy，there are a few popular services that connect people looking to rent out their apartment or home with travelers for a day or two. Everyone，who's ever driven in a major city knows that finding parking can be a real pain.Limited parking spaces and higher fees have contributed to tech-based services that can help you find，and even reserve an available parking space. Whether you're pressed for time or need to find somewhere to leave the car for a day or two while visiting an unfamiliar city，parking is one more headache. The sharing economy is helping alleviate it. For pet owners，leaving town on vacation can be a stressful experience. Finding a dog sitter on short notice can be a problem， and leaving your pet at a kennel（犬舍）might leave you worried about their well-being when you should be relaxed. Luckily，a little tech-inspired collaboration can offer an elegant solution. Partnering pet owners with willing hosts can give your dog a vacation of their own，with plenty of TLC - "tender loving care" and space to roam（漫步） in the home of a fellow pet lover. Now it is true that apps empower（授权）you to exchange a variety of items with people from all over. Whether it's a bike，some tools you need for a project，or anything in between，collaborative economies make it easier to access the things you need without cash.（1）What do we know about the sharing economy from the first two paragraphs？ ____ A.

解题核心思路：
- 定位关键句：通过问题关键词（如“temporary accommodation”“alleviate”）快速定位原文段落。
- 排除干扰项：注意选项中与原文表述不一致的细节（如“ancient”与“sharing economy”的关系）。
- 逻辑推断：结合共享经济“资源共享、减少现金交易”的特点，判断非典型例子。

干扰项排除：
- A项“自古以来存在”与原文“concept has been round for some time”矛盾；
- B项“由技术带来”混淆了概念起源与技术推动；
- C项“仅涉及金融交易”与原文“lending or borrowing”不符。

关键句：第四段提到共享经济通过“popular services”（如民宿平台）连接房东与旅行者。
选项分析：
- C项“提供受欢迎的服务”直接对应原文中的“popular services”。
第（3）题
