20.In spite of being used by 1.34billion people each year,traveling on the Tube(地鐵) 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(反應(yīng)),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.

32.The movement started by Jonathan Dunne aims toA.
A.change the cold atmosphere on the tube in London
B.change the"silent and cold"character of Londoners
C.make passengers change the unwritten rules of the tube in London
D.give passengers on the tube in London more chances to make friends
33.According to the passage,who might support the"Tube Chat"movement?D
①.Brian Wilson           ②.Jonathan Dunne
③.Michael Robinson   ④.The leader of the London Transport Museum
A.①②
B.②③
C.①④
D.②④
34.Which of the following might be the author's attitude toward Dunne's movement?B
A.Doubtful
B.Supportive
 C.Objective
D.Uninterested
35.What is the main purpose of this passage?C
A.To say no to the coldness on the tube in London.
B.To show people's response to Dunne's movement.
C.To explain Jonathan Dunne's movement to readers.
D.To show the differences in public transport in Western culture.

分析 本文從倫敦地鐵存在的現(xiàn)狀,寫(xiě)到一個(gè)倫敦市民想改變這一切,于是成立了一個(gè)活動(dòng),并對(duì)這個(gè)活動(dòng)進(jìn)行介紹.

解答 32-35 ADBC
32.A 細(xì)節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)句子One London citizen,however,is trying to change this.一位倫敦公民正試著改變倫敦地鐵里那種讓人孤獨(dú)的氛圍.所以答案選A.
33.D 細(xì)節(jié)理解題.Although Dunne says he's received mostly positive response not everyone agrees with his idea.雖然唐恩說(shuō)他收到的大多是積極的回應(yīng),并不是所有的人都同意他的觀點(diǎn),可以推斷出Dunne是支持Tube Chat的;Londoner Brian Wilson 說(shuō)I can't stand the idea of talking to strangers on the Tube on my way to work.我不能忍受在地鐵上和陌生人說(shuō)話,可見(jiàn)他是不支持的;Michael Robinson的話It doesn't need to be spoiled by people coming up and chatting to you.它不需要?jiǎng)e人來(lái)和你聊天,可見(jiàn)他是不贊成的;所以答案選D.
34.B 推理判斷題.根據(jù)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,如果你最終在歐美地區(qū)使用公共交通工具,為什么不向你旁邊的人問(wèn)好呢?可見(jiàn)作者的是支持的態(tài)度,所以答案選B.
35.C 寫(xiě)作意圖題.本文從倫敦地鐵存在的現(xiàn)狀,寫(xiě)到一個(gè)倫敦市民想改變這一切,于是成立了一個(gè)活動(dòng),所以目的就是介紹Jonathan Dunne's movement.所以答案選C.

點(diǎn)評(píng) 故事類(lèi)文章在閱讀過(guò)程中,我們一直在某個(gè)線索的引導(dǎo)下,隨著作者的思路去了解一個(gè)故事或一件事情的始末,因此會(huì)感到比較輕松.命題往往從故事的情節(jié)、人物或事件之間的關(guān)系、作者的意圖和態(tài)度、故事的前因和后果等方面入手,考查學(xué)生對(duì)細(xì)節(jié)的辨認(rèn)能力以及推理判斷能力. 閱讀故事類(lèi)文章時(shí),應(yīng)注意把握主旨大意,弄清主要情節(jié),立足文章的內(nèi)容揣摩作者的態(tài)度和意圖,根據(jù)文章的情節(jié)展開(kāi)合理的想象,從而達(dá)到解題的目的.

4.Death Valley is the lowest,hottest,driest area in North America.This California National Park has less than 5cm of rainfall a year and temperature up to 53°C in summer.That's enough to keep Americans away during the hottest months from June to August.But it is the high temperature and terrible heat that draw their most crazy fans,the foreign tourists.From all over the world,they come to the valley floor in cars,carrying maps and water bottles,and fanning themselves with newspapers to keep cool.
About 1.3million visitors enter the park each year,from June through August.90% of them are foreigners.They go there to experience the summer heat that gives Death Valley its name.The average high in July is 53.2°C and the low 30°C.For August,the average high is 52.2°C and the low 29.4°C.

In fact,Death Valley is a series of salt flats(鹽灘) 225km long and 6km to 26km wide.Birds and animals are largely absent,and only the hardiest plants have any chance of existence in this extreme place.
One tourist from Paris concluded,"We come to here because we can tell all our friends and family that we've been to the hottest place in the world".
29.The real attraction of Death Valley for foreigners is thatD.
