[A] Airbnb is fighting the ruling with a lawsuit. Its main argument in defending its position as complementary rather than in opposition to hotels is that its average host provides this service in the home they live in, and only when they are away. In London, for example, Airbnb has described its average host as someone who opens up their home for about 50 nights and earns £3,500 per year by doing so. In addition, almost three quarters of the listings are outside the main tourist areas and in places where there aren’t enough hotels.
[B] On the other hand, when they asked people who had heard of but not yet used sharing websites such as Airbnb, the one thing these people said they needed to start sharing was training. With this as the primary reason for not sharing, Airbnb’s complementary approach—providing hosts with information and helping them with a variety of issues—from fire safety or taxation, to how to provide a better service to guests, has helped the company do well in many cities, making the controversies in New York, Barcelona and Berlin rare events.
[C] As is shown in another research project on how start-ups can enter highly regulated markets, Airbnb’s collaborative approach to city officials and local communities—communicating with the local authorities and providing them with useful information about, for example, the growth of tourism—is the only sensible route for a company that is dependent on local regulation. But it will always be weighed against the voice and collective power of the incumbents whose revenues they threaten—as is the case in New York.
[D] Thus, these individuals are not multiple homeowners trying to evade taxes. A local law change enacted last year means that Londoners do not have to file taxes for renting their rooms or homes for up to 90 days, earning up to £7,500 annually.
[E] In a recent survey developed jointly between Warwick University and Imperial College in the U.K, the authors looked at individuals’ attitudes toward the sharing economy, using a large sample that is representative of the British population. Their results confirm that the majority of sharing economy users and providers in the U.K. have an average income below £40,000 and use or offer these ser-vices once every few months.
[F] Airbnb is in the middle of a legal battle with the state of New York to combat a new law against short-term rentals. It follows a bill, recently signed by New York governor Andrew Cuomo, that will fine tenants or landlords for renting out their apartments for less than 30 days. The aim is to pre-vent people from converting their apartments into hotels without paying tax, by which they offend the vested interest of hoteliers.
[G] Airbnb’s experience in New York also highlights that the degree of friction it faces also depends on the extent to which hotels launch an offensive against these new services. In New York, for in-stance, the Hotel Association of New York City announced in the last year that Airbnb caused a U.S. $2 billion loss to their business, urging its members to engage in collective action against the company. This has resulted in tremendous pressure on city officials to ban the service.
【D21】 → 【D22】 → E → 【D23】 → 【D24】 → G → 【D25】
【D24】
选项
答案
B
解析
本题在D之后。E和D讲述一项针对英国共享经济的研究。B说的是该研究项目的另一个方面,也涉及共享经济。C探讨另一项研究:新兴公司如何进入高度规范的市场。可见,B和D关联更紧密。B首句的they指代E中的the authors。E和D讲的是已经参与到共享经济的个体的类型,B探讨个体还未开始投入到共享经济的原因,二者属于共享经济的两个方面。故选B。
