3．Last year，138，000 San Francisco residents used Airbnb，a popular app designed to connect home renters and travelers.It's a striking number for a city with a population of about 850，000，and it was enough for Airbnb to win a major victory in local elections，as San Francisco voters struck down a debatable rule that would have placed time restrictions and other regulations on short-term rental services.
The company fiercely opposed the measure，Proposition F，with a nearly ＄10 million advertising campaign.It also contacted its San Franciscan users with messages urging them to vote against Proposition F.
Most people think of Airbnb as a kind of couch-surfing app.The service works for one-night stays on road trips and longer stays in cities，and it often has more competitive pricing than hotels.It's a textbook example of the "sharing economy"，but not everyone is a fan.
The app has had unintended consequences in San Francisco.As the San Francisco Chronicle reported last year，a significant amount of renting on Airbnb is not in line with the company's image：middle-class families putting up a spare room to help make ends meet.Some users have taken advantage of the service，using it to turn their multiple properties into vacation rentals or even full-time rentals.Backers of Proposition F argued that this trend takes spaces off the conventional，better-regulated housing market and contributes to rising costs.
"The fact is，widespread abuse of short-term rentals is taking much needed housing off the market and harming our neighborhoods，" said ShareBetter SF，a group that supported Proposition F.Hotel unions have protested the company's practices in San Francisco and other cities，saying that it creates an illegal hotel system.
San Francisco is in the middle of a long-term，deeply rooted housing crisis that has seen the cost of living explode.Actually，explode is a generous term.The average monthly rent for an apartment is around ＄4，000.Located on a narrow outcropping of land overlooking the bay，San Francisco simply doesn't have enough space to accommodate the massive inflow of young，high-salaried tech employees flocking to Silicon Valley.
As the Los Angeles Times reported，some San Francisco residents supported the measure simply because it seemed like a way to check a big corporation.Opponents of Proposition F countered that the housing crisis runs much deeper，and that passing the rule would have discouraged a popular service while doing little to solve the city's existing problems.
（1）The intention of Proposition F is to.
A．place time limits in local election.
B．set limits on short-term rental.
C．strike down a controversial rule.
D．urge users to vote against Airbnb.
（2）What is the negative consequence of Airbnb on San Francisco？
A．It shrinks the living space of middle-class families.
B．Users are taken advantage of by the service financially.
C．It makes the house market more competitive.
D．It indirectly leads to high house rental price.
（3）The housing crisis in San Francisco results from.
A．explosion of the living cost
B．its geographic characteristics
C．generosity of local enterprises
D．inflow of migrant population
（4）The author's attitude toward Proposition F is.
A．objective
B．supportive
C．negative
D．indifferent組卷：8引用：3難度：0.5

A freezing downpour washed the street in front of the small-town bar.I sat gazing into the watery darkness，alone as usual.I had been in that old bar for half an hour，quietly drinking，when my thoughtful eyes finally focused on a medium-sized lump （一團） in a puddle （水洼） a hundred feet away.For another ten minutes，I looked out through the window trying to decide if the lump was an animal or just something.
The night before，a German dog named Shep had come into the bar begging for potato chips.He was starving and just the size of the lump in the puddle.Why should a dog lie in a cold puddle in the freezing rain？I asked myself.The answer was simple：Either it wasn't a dog，or it was，he was too weak to get up.
The wound in my right shoulder ached all the way down my fingers.I didn't want to go out in the storm.Hey，it wasn't my dog.It was just a stray on a cold rainy night，a lonely drifter（流浪者）.So was I，I thought，as I tossed （扔） down what was left of my drink and headed out the door.
He was lying in the three inches of water.When I touched him，he didn't move.I thought he was dead.I put my hands around his chest and raised him to his feet.He stood unsteadily，and his head hung like a weight at the end of his neck.His floppy ears were just hairless pieces of flesh dotted with open sores（傷口）.
"Come on，Shep，" I said，leading him to a corner next to the bar，where he lay on the cold cement and closed his eyes.A block away I could see the lights of a late-night convenience store.It was still open.I bought three cans of dog food and fed him.He couldn't swallow but poorly look at me.He was dying!

1.續(xù)寫詞數(shù)應為150 左右；
2.請按如下格式在答題卡的相應位置作答。
The local vet（獸醫(yī)） was still at his office，so I loaded the poor creature into a taxi and headed there.__________.
