Exploit your parking space

An unused parking space or garage can make money. If you live near a city center or an airport, you could make anything up to £200 or £300 a week. Put an advertisement(广告)for free on Letpark or Atmyhousepark.

Rent(出租)a room

Spare room? Not only will a lodger(房客)earn you an income, but also, thanks to the government-backed “rent a room” program, you won’t have to pay any tax on the first £4500 you make per year. Try advertising your room on Roomspare or Roommateeasy.

Make money during special events

Don’t want a full-time lodger? Then rent on a short-term basis. If you live in the capital, renting a room out during the Olympics or other big events could bring in money, Grashpadder can advertise your space.

Live on set

Renting your home out as a “film set” could earn you hundreds of pounds a day, depending on the film production company and how long your home is needed. A quick search on the Internet will bring up dozens of online companies that allow you to register your home for free—but you will be charged if your home gets picked.

Use your roof

   You need the right kind of roof, but some energy companies pay the cost of fixing  solar equipment(around£14,000), and let you use the energy produced for nothing. In return, they get paid for unused energy fed back into the National Grid. However, you have to sign a 25-year agreement with the supplier, which could prevent you from changing the roof.

1.If you earn £5000 from renting a room in one year, the tax you need to pay will be based on ______.

A. £800       B. £500     C. £4500    D.5000

2. Where can you put an advertisement to rent out a room during a big event?

A. On Letpark.      B. On Roomspare.    

C. On Grashpadder.     D. On Roommateeasy.

3.If you want to use energy free, you have to_____.

A. sign an agreement with the government  

B. pay around £14,000 for the equipment

C. sell the roof to some energy companies  

D. keep the roof unchanged for within 25 years

4.For whom is the text most probably written?

A. Lodgers.       B. Advertisers.     C. House owners.      D. Online companies

 

【答案】

 

1.B

2.C

3.D

4.C

【解析】

试题分析:

1.B 计算题。根据第二段第二行you won’t have to pay any tax on the first £4500 you make per year.说明你最先挣的4500是不要交税的,超过部分是要交税的。那么5000元中只有500元是要交税的。故B正确。

2.C 细节题。根据第三段renting a room out during the Olympics or other big events could bring in money. Grashpadder can advertise your space.说明C正确。

3.D 细节题。根据最后一段you have to sign a 25-year agreement with the supplier, which could prevent you from changing the roof.和 let you use the energy produced for nothing说明D正确。

4.C 推理题。文章的四段都是与房屋的主人有关,让他们出租多余的房间,车库,甚至让他们出租屋顶。故C正确。

考点:考查新闻报告类短文阅读

点评:文章是写给房屋的主人的,让他们出租多余的风景,车库,甚至是屋顶。集中考查细节题,要求考生在阅读的时候,在文章中做好标志和符号,可以省略很多回读的时间,提高阅读的效率和速度。
