题目内容
20.In spite of being used by 1.34billion people each year,traveling on the Tube(地铁) in London can actually be quite lonely.An unwritten rule encouraging silence,mixed with classic British reserved (矜持的) character,means that even though you're crowded into a limited space with hundreds of other people,you may still feel a bit lonely.One London citizen,however,is trying to change this.
"You get on the Tube here and it's completely silent and it's strange,"says Jonathan Dunne,an American living in London,who has started a worldwide dialogue after giving out badges(徽章) with the slogan"Tube chat?"last month,encouraging passengers in London to get talking to one another.
"I handed out 500badges during rush hour in a city of 8million,expecting most of them to be thrown away,but after about 24hours it completely snowballed."he says.
Although Dunne says he's received mostly positive response(反应),not everyone agrees with his idea.
Londoner Brian Wilson responded with a movement of his own,handing out 500badges with the words"Don't even think about it"on them.
"I can't stand the idea of talking to strangers on the Tube on my way to work."he told the BBC.
Michael Robinson,24,a student from London,agrees."Being on the Tube is the only peace and quiet that some people get on their journeys to and from work.It doesn't need to be spoiled by people coming up and chatting to you."he says.
"People think that I just walk up and talk to strangers,which I don't,but it's been a great way to meet people who you would never have normally spoken to."Jonathan Dunne says."On Monday[Oct 10],the leader of the London Transport Museum had me over for tea."
So if you ever end up using public transport in the West,why not say hello to the person next to you?Just make sure to check for a badge first.

解答 32-35 ADBC
32.A 细节理解题.根据句子One London citizen,however,is trying to change this.一位伦敦公民正试着改变伦敦地铁里那种让人孤独的氛围.所以答案选A.
33.D 细节理解题.Although Dunne says he's received mostly positive response not everyone agrees with his idea.虽然唐恩说他收到的大多是积极的回应,并不是所有的人都同意他的观点,可以推断出Dunne是支持Tube Chat的;Londoner Brian Wilson 说I can't stand the idea of talking to strangers on the Tube on my way to work.我不能忍受在地铁上和陌生人说话,可见他是不支持的;Michael Robinson的话It doesn't need to be spoiled by people coming up and chatting to you.它不需要别人来和你聊天,可见他是不赞成的;所以答案选D.
34.B 推理判断题.根据句子So if you ever end up using public transport in the West,why not say hello to the person next to you?所以,如果你最终在欧美地区使用公共交通工具,为什么不向你旁边的人问好呢?可见作者的是支持的态度,所以答案选B.
