just make sure to check for a badge first.【语篇解读】住在伦敦的美国人乔纳森邓恩在伦敦发起了“地铁聊”活动。1what is the unwritten rule on the tube in britain?areading newspapers.bkeeping silent.cchatting with each other. dsleeping for a while.解析：细节理解题。根据第一段“an unwritten rule encourages silence，mixed with traditional british reserve”可知，在伦敦，有一个不成文的规则鼓励在地铁里保持安静，这其中也混合着英国人的矜持。答案：b2what do you know about jonathan dunne?ahe is an englishman working in london.bhe started the “tube chat” years ago.che wants people to chat on the tube.dhe expected most of the badges to be kept.解析：细节理解题。根据第二段“jonathan dunne.encouraging passengers in london to get talking to another.”可知，乔纳森邓恩鼓励伦敦的地铁乘客在地铁里与其他乘客交谈。答案：c3robinson dislikes the activity of “tube chat” because he thinks_apeople need time to have more sleepbpeople dont like to chat with strangerscpeople need peace and quietnessdpeople dont have topics to chat about解析：细节理解题。根据第四段“being on the tube is the only peace and quietness some people get on their journeys to and from work.it doesnt need to be destroyed by people chatting to you”可知，鲁宾孙认为，在地铁上，那些上下班的人们才能够有平静和安宁。所以他不喜欢“地铁聊”活动，因为那会破坏掉平静和安宁。答案：c4what is the best title of this passage?adunne carries out “tube chat”blondons unwritten rulescbadges with various themesdpublic transport of london解析：标题判断题。住在伦敦的美国人乔纳森邓恩在伦敦发起了“地铁聊”活动。答案：ablondon has a new magazine. but it is not printed on paper.everyone who has a television can receive it because it is on tv.in order to read this magazine you have to have a decoder.each page of it is numbered, so you only have to dial the number to choose which subject you want to read about.there is a wide choiceeverything is included from cooking to the latest sports news.if you want to read the news, the first thing you have to do is to turn to the index(索引)page which has an easytoremember page number, 100 for example.then you start choosing what you want to read.the news is on pages 101 to 109，so you push out the numbers and the news appears written across your screen.perhaps you want to go out in the afternoon, so you press 181, and a brightly coloured weather map appears on the screen.but the weather is terrible, so you decide to go shopping and dial 162 for a list of the weeks best bargains.but should you drive or take the train?
