【F1】
An editor I know once told me that on a weekday afternoon, during a period when he was freelancing, he looked out from the rear window of his apartment and saw a burglary in progress.
He called the police. When two detectives arrived to take a statement, one of them asked, "What were you doing staring out your back window in the middle of the day?" A freelancer myself, I told my friend, laughing, that I would be wounded by this remark.
There is something embarrassing about working from home. You wonder what the UPS man thinks of you when he delivers advance copies of new books. So this guy just reads all day? 【F2】
You worry that the prominent figure you are interviewing by phone can hear the refrigerator door or the neighbors’ kids upstairs.
It’s an increasingly common white-collar plight. 【F3】
Where once there were health plans, union cards, and decades punctuated by promotions, now there are laptop-bearing monkeys swinging from one branch to another in the so-called information economy.
A relatively new institution, the shared writers’ space, fills a small niche. At these urban oddities, members get access to a quiet room or two full of desks—in other words, an office. But without a boss. And you pay them, instead of the other way around.
【F4】
Selectiveness varies, but at the one I belong to, in New York, no big-league credentials or book contract is required, only "serious intent and a strong drive to write," though references are checked.
Members don’t get dedicated desks, but enrollment is capped to insure that a free one can almost always be found.
【F5】
It’s a different beast from the "co-working space," where, as I understand it, startups and entrepreneurs gather under the banner of brainstorming and use whiteboards.
My writers’ space, by contrast, sternly enforces silence in the main room. White-noise machines, earplugs, and cough drops are provided, and a sign advises, "PLEASE WALK SLOWLY & LIGHTLY."
At least nine cities now have shared workspaces for writers. But New York is the capital. Founded in 1978, the Writers Room was the first in the U.S. and "most likely" in the world, according to the executive director, Donna Brodie. Brodie boasted that she has shared with other workspace founders "the winning formula for success".
At the space where I work, a woman arrives to clean at night. It feels like an occasion, a landmark reached. Sometimes, I help her take the trash to the street, and we part ways on the sidewalk to take the subway home. No one else cares, but I get to feel I’ve put in a good day.

选项
答案
曾经有健康计划、工会会员证,和几十年都在强调晋升机会的工作场所,现在却变成了一群带着笔记本电脑的“猴子”在所谓的信息经济里,从一端树枝荡秋千到另一端树枝上的地方。
解析
①本句为主从复合句。②主句与地点状语从句都使用了there be句型结构,其后的内容为真正的主语。地点状语从句有三个并列的主语health plans,union cards以及decades punctuated by promotions。其中,过去分词短语punctuated by promotions作decades的后置定语,修饰decades,说明这几十年都在强调晋升机会。③主句主语后的现在分词短语swinging…information economy修饰主语laptop-bearing monkeys,解释说明laptop-bearing monkeys的状态。其中,in the so-called information economy在分词短语中作地点状语成分。
