1解析」

本文是說明文。文章講述了目前外賣平臺(tái)計(jì)算的運(yùn)送時(shí)間沒有考慮到紅綠燈、車速和等電梯

的因素，因此外賣規(guī)章需要被改善。

（28題詳解』

詞句猜測題。根據(jù)劃線詞后的部分oftenbreakingtrafficrules,puttingtheirownlivesatrisk（經(jīng)

常違反交通規(guī)則，把自己的生命置于危險(xiǎn)之中）可知，"revup”意思是加速。故選B。

[29題詳解』

can'treachanagreementwiththecustomerontheresponsibility,thedeliverymanisusuallythe

finaloneresponsibleforthedelay."（事實(shí)上，當(dāng)發(fā)生延遲交貨而公司又不能與客戶就責(zé)任達(dá)

送外賣的人。故選D。

F30題詳解』

細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)最后一段“Besides,marketregulatorydepartmentsshouldstopcompaniesfrom

settingtightschedulesfortheirdeliverymenandkeepthemsafeontheroads."（另夕卜，市場監(jiān)管

部門應(yīng)該阻止公司們給員工制定嚴(yán)格的安排，讓他們保持路上的安全）可知，上海市消費(fèi)者

權(quán)益保護(hù)委員會(huì)建議市場監(jiān)管部門阻止公司為員工安排緊密的日程安排。故選C。

『31題詳解J

主旨大意題。根據(jù)最后一段Besides,marketregulatorydepartmentsshouldstopcompaniesfrom

settingtightschedulesfortheirdeliverymenandkeepthemsafeontheroads.（止匕夕卜，市場監(jiān)管部

門應(yīng)阻止企業(yè)為快遞員設(shè)置緊張的時(shí)間安排，確保他們在道路上的安全）結(jié)合全文內(nèi)容，可

知文章首段提出了中國城市外賣小哥們不顧路上危險(xiǎn)違章全速送外賣的現(xiàn)象，引出市場監(jiān)管

部門應(yīng)該監(jiān)督公司改善規(guī)則的話題。所以文章主要講述了食物運(yùn)送的規(guī)章需要被改善。故選
