21、   Despite being used by 1.34 billion people each year, traveling on the Tube in London can actually be quite lonely. An unwritten rule encouraging reticence (沉默寡言), mixed with classic British reserve, means that even though you’re packed into enclosed space with hundreds of other people, the morning trip can leave you feeling somewhat lonely.

One London resident, however, is trying to change this. “You get on the Tube and it’s completely silent and it’s strange,” says Jonathan Dunne, an American living in London, who has started a campaign of giving out badges (徽章) with the slogan “Tube chat?” last month, encouraging travelers in London to get to talk to one another. “I handed out 500 badges during rush hour in a city of 8 million, expecting most of them to be thrown away, but after about 24 hours it completely snowballed,” he says. Dunne and his “Tube chat” campaign have been reported by media across the world, seeing TV interviews in Sweden, Brazil and the UK, as well as countless website, newspaper and magazine appearances.

Although Dunne says he’s received mostly positive responses, there are always exceptions.

Londoner Brian Wilson responded with a campaign of his own, handing out 500 badges with the words “Don’t even think about it” on them. “I can’t stand the idea of having to talk to strangers on the Tube on my way to work,” he said.

Michael Robinson, 24, a student from London, agrees. “Being on the Tube is the only peace and quiet 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 assume that I just walk up and talk to strangers, which I don’t, but it’s been a great way to meet people you would never have normally spoken to,” Dunne says. So if you ever end up using public transport in London, why not say hello to the person next to you? Just make sure to check for a badge first.

【1】What does the underlined word “reserve” mean?

A.tidiness B.gentleness

C.silence D.vividness

【2】What can the badge with “Tube Chat?” be seen as?

A.A request for keeping silent.

B.A special way of greeting someone.

C.A signal of avoiding being disturbed.

D.An encouragement to start a conversation.

【3】How is Dunne’s campaign getting along?

A.Most passengers have refused to accept it.

B.Wilson has made great efforts to promote it.

C.It has been covered in many countries.

D.It has become a worldwide campaign.

【4】Why does the author mention Brian and Michael?

A.To stress the importance of communication.

B.To show not everyone agrees with Dunne’s idea.

C.To prove Londoners are speechless on the Tube.

D.To state the disadvantages of chatting with strangers.

【5】What’s the best title for the passage?

A.Please mind the silence on the Tube!

B.Time to change your way to take the subway!

C.What makes people feel lonely on the Tube?

D.Why was the “Tube Chat?” campaign not a success?

22、Children of all ages gathered in New York City recently for the International Toy fair. There were new, high-tech educational products. Toymakers are working to create these products for improving a child’s emotional(情感的) intelligence.

Companies showed off their products last week at New York Convention Center.

PleIQ is a set of plastic toy blocks. It uses visual（视觉的） reality technology to teach words, numbers and other things, Edison Durán directs the company that makes PleIQ. She showed people at the toy fair how virtual(虚拟的) images appear on the blocks when they are held in front of a camera, PleIQ has children act as teacher or guide.

On the other side of the convention center, Karen Hu from another company showed an educational robot called Woobo. The robot comes programmed with educational games and activities. Children use its touch screen face to get them started. Hu described how the robot can help a child who has autism (自闭症). “The child can communicate with Woobo and follow some of the instructions Woobo is giving because he thinks of this as a companion instead of a parent or someone else telling him to certain things.”

At the EQtainment stand，sales director Jonathan Erickson explained the company’s toys. “The purpose of all of our products is to develop emotional and social intelligence.” he said Erickson showed off a board game called “Q’s Race to the Top”. He said the game got his 4-year-old daughter to open up. “The biggest thing is her talking. And that’s the key of all this—getting her feelings expressed out. Like, ‘Hey, what does it feel like to be sad? Or how does it feel like to be happy?’”

It remains to be seen whether a game or toy can improve emotional intelligence. But toymakers are doing what they can to help parents in their efforts to raise well-rounded children.

【1】How does PleIQ instruct children to learn?

A. By playing the role of a companion.

23、Sitting is an art that isn't getting passed along. People these days feel as though they have to be doing something. If they are not working, they are jogging, or playing tennis or golf to guard against illnesses, or taking courses to improve their minds or bodies -- or they are parked in front of the TV. Sitting in front of the TV isn't sitting -- it's watching.

People used to sit a whole lot. You would walk down the street or drive down the road, and there they would be, out on the doorsteps, sitting. You could go to the grocery to buy some garlic or some fruits and vegetables and sit on the bench out front m the summer or around the fire in the winter. You could go down to the store to buy an outer garment, an electric grill or anything else. There were sitting benches out in the town square. At the garage, there were straight-backed chairs. There among the oilcans and tires and spare parts, you could kick back and sit.

Houses used to have sitting rooms, where the grown-ups would go after Sunday dinner. Mom and Dad, Grandpa and Aunt Ruby would gather round, sit and digest (消化) the fried chicken and talk about Aunt Ethel’s illness, and how well the minister did today. They may just talk a load of garbage and even gesture with their hands when they become excited. Outside, the younger generation, the children would play on the ground, and the afternoon would pass by in a comfortable haze（ 悠闲的氛围).

That sort of thing looks like doing nothing. A recharging battery (正充电的电池) doesn't look as if it's doing anything either. Sitting restores your soul. If you want to enjoy a truly full life, don't just do something--sit there.

【1】What message does the author try to get through to us?

A. People should make better use of their sitting room.

B. People should spend less time watching TV.

C. People should pass down their good habits.

24、This year some twenty­three hundred teenagers (young people aged from 13 to 19) from all over the world will spend about ten months in US homes. They will attend US schools, meet US teenagers, and form the impressions of the real America. At the same time, about thirteen hundred American teenagers will go to other countries to learn new languages and gain a new understanding of the rest of the world.

Here is a two­way student exchange in action. Fred, 19, spent last year in Germany with George's family. In turn, George's son Mike spent a year in Fred's home in America.

Fred, a lively young man, knew little German when he arrived, but after two months' study, he began to understand the language. School life was completely different from what he had expected—much harder. Students rose respectfully when the teacher entered the classroom. They studied fourteen subjects instead of the six subjects that are usual in the United States. There were almost no extra­curricular activities.

Family life, too, was different. The father's words were the laws, and all activities were around the family rather than the individual. Fred found the food too simple at first. Also, he missed having a car.

At the same time, in America, Mike, a friendly German boy, was also forming his idea. “I suppose I should criticize American schools, ” he said. “The school life is far too easy for us. But I have to say that I like it very much. In Germany we can do nothing but study. Here we can take part in many extra­curricular activities. I think that maybe American schools are better in training citizens. There ought to be some middle ground between the two.”

【1】The whole exchange program is mainly to ________.

A．help teenagers in other countries know the real America

B．let students learn something about other countries

C．send American students to travel in Germany

D．have teenagers learn new languages

【2】What did Fred and Mike agree on?

A．America has better traffic.

B．Americans and Germans were both friendly.

C．Life in German schools was harder than that in American schools.

D．There were more cars on the streets in America.

A．There is some middle ground between the teaching buildings.

B．There are a lot of extra­curricular activities

C．Students usually study 14 subjects in all.

D．Students go outside to enjoy themselves in a car.

【4】What did Mike think after experiencing the American school life?

A．The easy life in the American schools was more helpful to students.

B．German schools trained students to be better citizens.

C．American schools were not as good as German schools.

D．A better education should include something good from both American schools and German schools.
