The data mentioned in Paragraph 4 implies that _________

单选题 The data mentioned in Paragraph 4 implies that __________.

A．Uber's market share has already surpassed that of all other taxi companies
B．Uber is most popular with businessmen in American cities
C．Uber has bought most of the ground transportation receipts
D．Uber is providing clients with cheap and convenient services

参考答案A

解析:由题干中的关键词data和Paragraph 4可定位至文章第四段第三句。
推理判断题。定位句指出，优步在2015年第二季度的营业额占市场份额的55％，而所有的其他出租车公司合在一起才占到43％，由此可以推断，优步的市场份额已经超过了出租车公司，故答案为A。B“优步在美国城市中最受商人的欢迎”，该段第四句中列举了三个数据，分别反映了三个商务人士最倾向于使用优步的城市各自的市场占有率，但这不能说明在所有美国城市中都是商务人士最喜欢用优步，故可排除；C“优步购买了大部分地面交通收据”，这是对该段第二句的曲解，原句的意思是：优步车辆的“地面交通消费凭据”首次占到绝大多数，故排除；D“优步给客户提供价格低廉、便捷的服务”，优步的服务是否廉价和便捷从本段的数据中并不能做出判断，故排除。

单选题Questions are based on the following passage.
Education in most of the developing world is shocking. Half of children in South Asia and a third of those in Africa who complete four years of schooling cannot read properly. Most governments have promised to provide universal primary education and to promote secondary education. But even when public schools exist, they often fail.
The failure of state education, combined with the shift in emerging economies from farming to jobs that need at least a modicum (少量) of education, has caused a private-school boom. According to the World Bank, across the developing world a fifth of primary-school pupils are enrolled in private schools, twice as many as 20 years ago. So many private schools are unregistered that the real figure is likely to be much higher.
By and large, politicians and educationalists are unenthusiastic. Governments see education as the state's job. NGOs tend to be ideologically opposed to the private sector. The U. N. special rapporteur (报告人) on education, Kishore Singh, has said that "for-profit education should not be allowed in order to safeguard the noble cause of education".
This attitude harms those whom educationalists claim to serve: children. The boom in private education is excellent news for them and their countries, for three reasons.
First, it is bringing in money--not just from parents, but also from investors, some in search of a profit.
Most private schools in the developing world are single operators that charge a few dollars a month, but chains are now emerging.
Second, private schools are often better value for money than state ones. Measuring this is hard, since the children who go to private schools tend to be better off, and therefore likely to perform better. But a rigorous four-year study of 6,000 pupils in Andhra Pradesh, in southern India, suggested that private pupils performed better in English and Hindi than public-school pupils, and the private schools achieved these results at a third of the cost of the public schools.
Lastly, private schools are innovative. Since technology has great (though as yet mostly unrealized. potential in education, this could be important. Bridge gives teachers tablets linked to a central system that provides teaching materials and monitors their work. Such robo-teaching may not be ideal, but it is better than lessons without either materials or monitoring.
The private sector has problems. But the alternative is often a public school that is worse--or no school at all. The growth of private schools is a manifestation of the healthiest of instincts: parents' desire to do the best for their children. Governments should therefore be asking not how to discourage private education, but how to boost it. Ideally, they would subsidize (以津贴补助) private schools, preferably through a voucher (凭证) which parents could spend at the school of their choice and top up; they would regulate schools to ensure quality; they would run public exams to help parents make informed choices.
According to the author, the state governments in developing countries fail to ________.

A．provide proper education for all the school age children
B．fulfill their promises by establishing enough public schools
C．improve education quality of the existing public schools
D．speed up the social shift from farming to manufacturing
