Joy had cared for many young animals over the years,but she had never tried to raise baby lions!However, she was determined to save these babies.The lions grew rapidly.But as the lion grew bigger and stronger,Joy and George realized they could not keep three large lions.They decided to present two of the lions to a zoo;they would keep the smallest lion,which they named Elsa.Joy and George taught Elsa to hunt and to protect herself.Elsa liked to play with her human friends, but as Elsa grew to her adult size,this play became dangerous.More than once,Elsa knocked Joy to theground,scratching(抓伤)her.Joy and George both realized that it was time to find Elsa a new home.They knew she needed a wild home where she could live the life she was born to lead.Finally,Joy and George decided to set Elsa free in Meru Park at the foot of Mt.Kenya.Elsa never forgot Joy and George.Whenever they camped nearby,Elsa would come to visit,rubbing her head against their legs in greeting.Joy missed Elsa,but was happy that she had made a successful life as a wild lion.Joy wrote a book about Elsa,Born Free,which became an international bestseller.Joy traveled all over the world,talking about the importance of saving the wild animals of the world.Joy lived out her life in Africa,working with wild animals.She wrote more books about her experiences.Her heart felt interest in animals and her great love for Elsa helped inspire(激发)a worldwide movement to protect wildlife.For Joy Adamson,there was no greater gift than the beauty and spirit of wild animals,living free.(1)(2分)When George took the three lions home,his wife________.A.advised him to give them to a zoo B.was frightened by their appearances C.was unwilling to care for them D.had a great love for them(2)(2分)Joy and George set Elsa free because________.A.Elsa scratched JoyB.there wasn't enough food for ElsaC.Elsa was big and strongD.Elsa was a danger to their neighbors(3)(2分)What do we know about the book Born Free from the text?A.It became very popular.B.It is mainly about Joy's experiences in Meru Park.C.It focuses on wild animals in Kenya.D.It helped change people's attitudes towards wildlife.(4)(2分)What's the best title for the text?A.Joy Adamson:living with lions B.Elsa:lion raised by a humanC.Born Free:a wonderful book D.George:a game warden3.(8分)阅读理解I work with volunteers for Wildlife,a rescue and education organization at Bailey Arboretum inLocust Valley.Trying to help injured,displaced or sick creatures can be heartbreaking;survival is never certain.However,when it works,it is simply beautiful.I got a rescue call from a woman in Muttontown.She had found a young owl(猫头鹰)on the ground.When I arrived,I saw a2-to-3-week-old owl.It had already been placed in a carrier for safety.I examined the chick(雏鸟)and it seemed fine.If I could locate the nest,I might have been able to put it back,but no luck.My next work was to construct a nest and anchor it in a tree.The homeowner was very helpful.A wire basket was found.I put some pine branches into the basket to make this nest safe and comfortable.I placed the chick in the nest,and it quickly calmed down.Now all that was needed were the parents,but they were absent.I gave the homeowner a recording of the hunger screams of owl chicks.These advertise the presence of chicks to adults;they might also encourage our chick to start calling as well.I gave the owner as much information as possible and headed home to see what news the night might bring.A nervous night to be sure,but sometimes the spirits of nature smile on us all!The homeowner called to say that the parents had responded to the recordings.I drove over and saw the chick in the nest looking healthy and active.And it was accompanied in the nest by the greatest sight of all—LUNCH!The parents had done their duty and would probably continue to do so.(1)(2分)What is unavoidable in the author's rescue work according to Paragraph1?

"Humans have either poached animals,or because there are over seven billion of us,we've taken up too much of the world's resources".Poachers illegally hunt rhinos for their horns.They sell the horns for thousands of dollars per pound,to be used for art,jewelry,and decorations.Experts believe that one rhino is poached every eight hours.In1975,the San Diego Zoo Institute for Conservation Research started the Frozen Zoo,a program through which researchers have collected cell(细胞)samples from more than8000different types of animals,including the northern white rhino.Scientists hope that by studying the rhino cells,they will get greater understanding of it,and will find ways to increase its numbers.Jane Kennedy describes World Rhino Day as"a celebration of rhinos along with an awareness campaign for everybody across the world to know that rhinos need our help."At the San Diego Zoo, children and adults are welcome to visit and speak with zookeepers to learn about rhinos.But you don't have to live in San Diego to celebrate World Rhino Day.It is observed around the world,with zoos and wildlife parks holding special events and programs to teach people about rhinos,and enable them to see the animals up close.For more information,go to .(1)(2分)What do we know about Nola?A.It was a baby white rhino.B.It was one of the last of its kind.C.It lived with other northern white rhinos in Kenya.D.It died on September22at the San Diego Zoo Safari Park.(2)(2分)What troubled Jane Kennedy according to Paragraph2?A.The rhinos'uncertain future.B.The rhinos'strange activities.C.The limited natural resources.D.The rare animals in South Africa.(3)(2分)What does the Frozen Zoo aim to do?A.Invent new kinds of animals.B.Keep animals from dying out. C.Prevent rhinos from being hunted.D.Raise public awareness of rhinos.(4)(2分)What is the main purpose of the last paragraph?A.To help people know more about animals.B.To encourage people to protect rhinos.C.To report special events in San Diego.D.To introduce World Rhino Day.二、任务型阅读(共1题;共5分)5.(5分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项,选项中有两项为多余选项。

Have you lost your mind?”I hadn't lost my mind,but I had lost my fire.It's an entirely different thing to push toward that dream when you feel alone.“I'm not trying to break your heart,Mom,”I said.“I just don't want to do it anymore.” “I know you miss home.But you've signed a contract that says you will represent your country to the best of your ability.You've got a responsibility to your teammates.Andnow you just want to walk away? I will not let you be dishonorable.If you don't like gymnastics,then at the very least,you will finish the season.”The next afternoon as I dragged myself into Chow's gym,I thought of the efforts Mom had made in order to pay for my training.I thought of my two sisters: Arielle,who gave up ballroom dancing,and Joyelle,who stopped ice skating so that our single mom could afford to keep me in gymnastics.For now,here's what you need to know: Exactly 210 days before I ever attempted my first vault (跳跃) in the London Summer Olympics,my leap of faith came this close to ending in a crash of disaster.()16.The author wanted to give up gymnastics because ________.A.she thought she loved music moreB.she was overcome with homesicknessC.an Olympic gold was beyond her reachD.the training for the Olympics was too hard()17.How did the author's mother feel on hearing her words?A.Heart-broken.B.Delighted.C.Helpless.D.Calm.()18.We can infer from the passage that the author ________.A.was born into an athletic familyB.realized her Olympic dreamC.changed her mind in the endD.had a bad childhood()19.What would be the best title for the passage?A.A Dream Come TrueB.My Leap of FaithC.My MotherD.A Quitter()20.Who will be interested in the passage?A.A medical student who will graduate from university.B.A healthcare professional who will give a lecture on cancer.C.A marketing professional who is looking for customers.D.A gymnastic player who wants to give up competition.【语篇解读】本文是记叙文。

新人教版2019学年高一必修2英语:模块综合检测【含答案及解析】
新人教版2019学年高一必修2英语:模块综合检测【含答案及解析】姓名___________ 班级____________ 分数__________一、阅读理解1. “Good afternoon!Remember tomorrow is Crazy Day,so you are welcome to do anything crazy,” boomed a voice through our school speakers.“Crazy Day?What does that mean?” I asked my ESL teacher,Mrs Ramsey.She answered,“On this day,everyone dresses up like a crazy person.” She suggested I make a strange hairstyle or wear two different shoes.However,I decided that I would wear my T-shirt backwards.The next day as I walked into the classroom,everybody looked so funny:Mrs Toalson had curled her hair into large curls and my classmate Bradley had coloured his hair white!I thought he was an old person when I first saw him. “Hi,Jim,you look weird!How do I look?” My friend Taylor asked.She was wearing an old hat that looked like it came from the 17th century paired with a cute and trendy skirt.It reminded me of women from ancient times mixed with a 21st century woman who chewed gum during school.The next day,I received a note from school that said “Tomorrow is Pajama(睡衣)Day.” “Should I wear my pajamas to school tomorrow?What if tomorrow is not Pajama Day?What if the note is just a joke?” I worried.“What if tomorrow I am the only one wearing paj amas?I will look silly and strange!” I decided to be safe and not wear my pajamas.As I walked into the classroom the following day,I was amazed how my classmates were dressed!They were all wearing pajamas!Some of them even brought their dolls and Barbies with them!I deeply regretted not wearing my pajamas.1. What days are mentioned in this passage?A. Crazy Day.B. Pajama Day.C. April Fool’s Day.D. Both A and B.2. What did his teacher advise him to do?A. She advised him to wear two different coats.B. She advised him to wear his pajamas.C. She advised him to make a weird hairstyle.D. She advised him to wear T-shirt backwards.3. Why didn’t the author wear his pajamas?A. Because he thought it was a joke.B. Because his m other didn’t allow him to wear his pajamas.C. Because he wanted to be beautiful.D. Because he didn’t have any pajamas.4. What does the passage mainly talk about?A. Mrs Toalson had curled her hair into large curls.B. Two crazy days in America.C. They all wore their pajamas including the author.D. The author was afraid to wear his pajamas to school.2. A typical lion tamer(驯兽师) in people’s mind is an entertainer holding a whip(鞭) and a chair.The whip gets all of the attention,but it’s mostly for show.In reality,it’s the chair that does the important work.When a lion tamer holds a chair in front of the lion’s face,the lion tries to focus on all four legs of the chair at the same time.With its focus divided,the lion becomes confused and is unsure about what to do next.When faced with so manyoptions,the lion chooses to freeze and wait instead of attacking the man holding the chair.How often do you find yourself in the same position as the lion?How often do you have something you want to achieve(e.g.lose weight,start a business,travel more)—only to end up confused by all of the options in front of you and never make progress?This upsets me to no end because while all the experts are busy debating about which option is best,the people who want to improve their lives are left confused by all of the conflicting information.The end result is that we feel like we can’t focus or that we’re focused on the wrong things,and so we take less action,make less progress,and stay the same when we could be improving.It doesn’t have to be that way.Anytime you find the world waving a chair in your face,remember this:All you need to do is focus on one thing.You just need to get started.Starting before you feel ready is one of the habits of successful people.If you have somewhere you want to go,something you want to accomplish,someone you want to become...take immediate action.If you’re clear about where you want to go,the rest of the world will either help you get there or get out of the way.1. Why does the lion tamer use a chair?A. To trick the lion.B. To show off his skills.C. To get read y for a fight.D. To entertain the audience.2. In what sense are people similar to a lion facing a chair?A. They feel puzzled over choices.B. They hold on to the wrong things.C. They find it hard to make changes.D.

One morning Fan Xing discovered that her classroom had changed.The 13-year-old saw that the desks were no longer in rows,but pushed together to make six bigger desks.The new arrangement was part of a reform at Fan’s school,Changsha Daotian Middle School in Hunan.About five weeks ago,more than 2,000 junior students at the school began studying in this way,with six to eight students sitting in groups.“This reform is designed to provide students with easier ways to study and more chances for discussion,” said Liu Xu,a school head teacher.“Our school hopes it can improve students’ abilities for self-study as well as teamwork.”The new arrangement took some time for students to get used to.“I was too curious about it for the first two days,” said Fan.But soon she and her classmates got used to it.“Now our class is quieter because we can stop loud students with some simple gestures,” said Fan.“What’s more,we can expressour own ideas and learn others’ through discussion.It’s a better way to study.”Feng Yu likes this new classroom arrangement very much and has made some progress in studying.The 14-year-old said,“Group members first discuss,andthen explain the solutions or answers to difficult questions in front of the whole class.”“The discussion gives us more confidence to make speeches,” said Feng.“We can also improve our friendships.”The reform has asked for more from teachers.They have no more than 15 minutes to teach in class.“It is a big challenge to teach in such a short time the lessons which should be taught in 45 minutes,” English teach er Wang Jing said.“We have to improve methods to teach better.We must prepare some interesting topics and exercises before class so that students can discuss them.”Wang said that some students always talk.The teachers have to move continuously in the classroom to keep them quiet and get them to concentrate on class.“It demands more,but I believe it will pay off,” Wang added.1.

Unit 1 单元测试一、阅读理解(共两节,满分35分)第一节(共10小题,每小题2.5分,满分25分)阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
AFrom early times, man has been interested in art. People have often worked together to collect and save the world’s art treasures. Fine art treasures from many countries are kept in an art museum called the Louvre in Paris, France. The works of art have been collected by the people of France over many centuries. It is one of the biggest art museums in the world.The Louvre has not always been a museum. The first building was a fort(堡垒). In 1190, it was the king’s castle with high walls and a round tower. It had a moat(护城河) to keep out the enemies. Over the years, the number of buildings around the castle grew. By 1350, the castle no longer needed a fort. The Louvre became a palace home for French kings and queens.During the time of peace, new treasures were brought in. During the days of war, many treasures were stolen, and the buildings were damaged.When Francis I became the King of France in 1515, he brought in many artists from other countries. One of the artists was Leonardo da Vinci from Italy. Da Vinci’s Mona Lisa is the best known painting in the museum today.In 1793, the Louvre became a public museum. It is a place where art treasures are kept for everyone to enjoy. Every year millions of people from all over the world come to the Louvre to see the masterpieces.1. Most of works of art in the Louvre have been collected probably by ________.A. the French peopleB. Francis IC. Leonardo da VinciD. people of the world2. Why is it good for the works of art to be kept in public museums?A. The works of art will not be stolen.B. The works of art will not be damaged.C. Artists can study the works of art.D. Everyone has a chance to enjoy the works of art.3. According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE?A. The Louvre is always a museum since it was built.B. All the art treasures in the Louvre have been destroyed in the war.C. The Louvre was once the king’s castle in histor y.D. There is still a fort near the Louvre now.BWhat killed King Tut? Historians and scientists have long believed that ancient Egypt’s most famous king was probably murdered. But a recent scientific study claims to have found a different answer to this more than 3,300-year-old mystery. A team of researchers now say that King Tut, the boy ruler, died of complications (并发症) froma broken leg.Tut’s full name was Tutankhamun. He was just 9 years old when he became theruler of Egypt in 1333 BC. His treasure-filled tomb was discovered almost a century ago. It was filled with royal riches, including a solid-gold coffin, a gold mask, and piles of jewelry.Unfortunately Tut died at the age of 19. Many experts have thought that Tut was killed by one of his advisers, named Ay, who wanted to be king. But thanks to a major modern science project, it seems Ay is innocent.Researchers set out to solve the mystery of King Tut’s death by using the tools of science, including DNA tests and electronic scans of his mummy(木乃伊). Scientist Carsten Pusch carried out the tests on Tut for the new study. He thinks a broken leg led to the young king’s death. More than 100 walking sticks were found in King Tut’s tomb. This supports the team’s findings. But how could a person die from a simple broken leg?Pusch also found DNA evidence in Tut’s body that shows he had malaria, a disease carried by mosquitoes. Malaria seriously weakens the immune system(免疫系统).Pusch and his fellow researchers believe the malaria and the bone disease together caused the king’s fracture(骨折) to become deadly. Finally, the young king was just too weak to recover. So effects of the disease combined with the bad luck of a broken bone —not a jealous adviser —are likely the real, causes of King Tut’s death.4. It has long been believed by historians and scientists that ________.A. King Tut was the youngest ruler in the world historyB. King Tut was the richest ruler in the history of EgyptC. King Tut was murdered by one of his advisersD. King Tut was poisoned by one of his servants.5. With the help of modern technology, the new study discovered that the king ________.A. died directly of a disease called malariaB. died of complications from a broken legC. died of a simple cut in the broken legD. was bitten to death by deadly mosquitoes6. Researchers uncovered the mystery of King Tut’s death by ________.A. testing the King’s immune systemB. studying the walking sticks found in the tombC. performing experiments on mosquitoesD. applying DNA tests and electronic scan technology7. The passage mainly tells us about ________.A. a different answer to King Tut’s deathB. a famous boy king in ancient EgyptC. a treasure-filled tomb discovered in EgyptD. a team of researchers studying ancient tombsCIn the 1960s, while studying the volcanic history of Yellowstone National Park, Bob Christiansen became puzzled about something that, oddly, had not troubled anyone before: he couldn’t find the park’s volcano. It had been known for a long time th at Yellowstone was volcanic in nature —that’s what accounted for all its hot springs and other steamy features. But Christiansen couldn’t find the Yellowstone volcano anywhere.Most of us, when we talk about volcanoes, think of the classic cone(圆锥体) shapes of a Fuji or Kilimanjaro, which are created when erupting magma(岩浆) piles up. These can form remarkably quickly. In 1943, a Mexican farmer was surprised to see smoke rising from a small part of his land. In one week he was the confused owner of a cone five hundred feet high. Within two years it had topped out at almost fourteen hundred feet and was more than half a mile across. Altogether there are some ten thousand of these volcanoes on Earth, all but a few hundred of them extinct. There is, however, a second less known type of volcano that doesn’t involve mountain building. These are volcanoes so explosive that they burst open in a single big crack, leaving behind a vast hole, the caldera. Yellowstone obviously was of this second type, but Christiansen co uldn’t find the caldera anywhere.Just at this time NASA decided to test some new high-altitude cameras by taking photographs of Yellowstone. A thoughtful official passed on some of the copies to the park authorities on the assumption that they might make a nice blow-up for one of the visitors’ centers. As soon as Christiansen saw the photos, he realized why he had failed to spot the caldera: almost the whole park —2.2 million acres —was caldera. The explosion had left a hole more than forty miles across —much too huge to be seen from anywhere at ground level. At some time in the past Yellowstone must have blown up with a violence far beyond the scale of anything known to humans.8. What puzzled Christiansen when he was studying Yellowstone?A. Its complicated geographical features.B. Its ever-lasting influence on tourism.C. The mysterious history of the park.D. The exact location of the volcano.9. What does the second paragraph mainly talk about?A. The shapes of volcanoes.B. The impacts of volcanoes.C. The activities of volcanoes.D. The heights of volcanoes.10. What does the underlined word “blow-up” in the last paragraph most probably mean?A. Hot-air balloon.B. Digital camera.C. Big photograph.D. Bird’s view.第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

人教版(2019)高中英语必修第二册Unit2单元测试(2)一、阅读理解(共3题;共20分)1.(6分)阅读短文,从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
More than two thirds of the world's polar bears will be wiped out by2050,according to a shocking new study.By then,scientists say,global warming will have melted42percent of the Arctic sea ice.By2100, only a very few of these important creatures will be left.The report has been produced by the US Geological Survey.The scientists have publicized their findings in the hope of influencing US Interior Secretary Dirk Kempthorne,who has been asked to put polar bears on the US endangered species list.Polar bears depend on floating sea ice as a platform for hunting seals,which are their main food. Without enough ice,polar bears would be forced to go onto the land,where they are killed by hunters,and would be unlikely to adapt to the life on the land in time.Experts say few little bears would survive and the stress could make many females unable to get pregnant.The team of American and Canadian scientists spent six months studying bears:on the ground,from spotter planes and in the lab,using computer models.Some team members fear the result is even worse for the bears than what their report says.They say the Arctic is warming faster than anywhere in the world and much faster than their computer had been forecasting,Satellite observations have showed that the ice has decreased to an all-time low.However,not everyone in the scientific community believes that global warming is happening on such an alarming scale.Another investigation has found that polar bears are still being hunted by wealthy "sportsmen"who want their skins and heads.At least ten international companies offer bear-hunting trips.(1)(2分)What do we know about Dirk Kempthorne according to the passage?A.He is an animal scientist.B.He is a protector of animals working for the US government.C.He was asked to put polar bears on the US endangered species list.D.He offered to put polar bears on the endangered species list.(2)(2分)Why will polar bears die out if there is not enough sea ice?A.Because polar bears can't catch enough food without sea ice.B.Because polar bears eat ice when they feel thirsty.C.Because polar bears will be easily found by hunters without ice.D.Because most female bears are used to giving birth under ice.(3)(2分)After a six-month study,some scientists fear that.A.there is something wrong with their computersB.polar bears will disappear even faster than they ever expectedC.their computer models are not as accurate as they expectedD.global warming will destroy everything in the Arctic2.(6分)阅读理解The British are known for their sense of humor.However,it is often difficult for foreigners to understand their jokes.The main point to remember is that the British often use understatement.Understatement means saying less than you think or feel.For example,if someone gets very wet in a shower of rain,he might say,"It's a little damp(潮湿的)outside."Or,if someone is very impolite and shouts at another person,someone else might say,"She isn't exactly friendly."Understatement is often used in an unpleasant situation or to make another person look silly.Understatement plays an important part in British humor.Another key to understanding British humor is that the British like to make fun of themselves as well as others.They often laugh about the silly and unpleasant things that happen to our everyday life when someone accidently falls over in the street.They also like to make jokes about people from different classes of society.They like to make jokes about their accents,the way they dress and the way they behave.What's more,the British love to watch comedies(喜剧)about people who do not know how to behave in society. The comedies series Mr.Bean is a good example of this kind of humor.Mr.Bean is the character created by British actor Rowan Atkinson in1990.Mr.Bean doesn't talk often,and instead he uses his body movement and facial expressions to make people laugh.Perhaps what makes Mr.Bean so funny is that he does things that adults in the real world cannot do.Mr.Bean is popular in many countries around the world because you do not have to speak English to understand the humor. Because of this,many people have become familiar with the British sense of humor.(1)(2分)Why is it difficult for foreigners to understand British jokes?A.The British often enlarge the fact.B.British jokes are connected with many different cultures.C.British jokes are not as funny as jokes in other countries.D.The British try to make out that something is less important than it is.(2)(2分)The author explains understatement by.A.describing a process B.making comparisonsC.following time order D.using examples(3)(2分)What can be the best title for the text?A.British Humor in Comedy B.Humor in Different Cultures C.Understanding British Humor D.Developing Your Sense of Humor3.(8分)阅读理解Where do the turtles go?Every summer,thousands of endangered green sea turtles climb onto beaches around the world. Each mother sea turtle produces100or more eggs in a hole,and covers the hole with sand before she swims away.Two months later,the eggs hatch,and the baby turtles climb out of the sand and swim into the ocean. They don't reappear until they have grown as large as dinner plates.Until now,no one knows where the baby turtles go or what they do."If we don't know where these little turtles are,we can't protect them,"says Kim Reich,who helps solve part of the mystery.Her teacher,Karen Bjorndal,has studied green sea turtles for more than30years.Every year, Bjorndal goes to the Bahamas Islands.Many young sea turtles come here to live and eat at the end of their childhood.These turtles are the only sea turtles that live as plant eaters.In fact,their name may be a result of what they eat.The turtles don't look green but they do have green fat.Scientists learned that the turtles eatgreen sea plants,which may turn their fat green.Between2002and2004,Bjorndal caught44green sea turtles in the Bahamas.After testing them, she found something to support the20-year-old idea:baby green sea turtles eat meat before they turn to a diet of plants.In fact,they eat animals that live in the open ocean.Scientists still need to find where exactly green sea turtles grow.We now know that baby green sea turtles are out in the open ocean,but the open ocean is a big place."It is really a problem,"says Bjorndal.The discovery may help us do a better job of protecting this sea animal.(1)(2分)What can we learn from the first two paragraphs?A.Baby turtles go to the ocean when they are three months old.B.Mother turtles leave the eggs alone after they produce them.C.No one knows when turtles appear on the beach.D.Mother turtles are as large as dinner plates.(2)(2分)Kim Reich does research on where baby turtles go because she wants to.

AThough the tube (地铁) is used by 1.34 billion people each year,travelling on the tube in London can actually be quite lonely.An unwritten rule encourages silence,mixed with traditional British reserve (矜持).It means that even though you're in the crowded space with hundreds of other people,the silent air can leave you feeling a bit lonely.One London man,however,is trying to change this.Jonathan Dunne,42,an American living in London,started a worldwide dialogue after giving out badges (徽章) with the theme “Tube chat” last month,encouraging passengers in London to get talking to one another.“I handed out 500 badges during the rush hour in a city with 8 million people.I expected most of them to be thrown away.But after about 24 hours,this activity would become bigger,” he says.Dunne and his “Tube chat” activity were reported across the world by different websites,newspapers and magazines.Although Dunne's hope is good,not everyone agrees with his idea.Brian Wilson,a native Englishman living in London,was against it.He handed out 500 badges with the words “Don't even think about it” on them.“I hate the idea of having to talk to strangers on the tube on my way to work,” he told the reporter of BBC.Michael Robinson,a student from London,agrees.“Being on the tube is the only peace and quietness some people get on their journeys to and from work.It doesn't need to be destroyed by people chatting to you,” Robinson says.“People think that I just walk up and talk to strangers,which is not the case.It's a great way to meet people you would never have normally spoken to,” Dunne says.So if you use public transport in the West,why not say hello to the person next to you? 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。

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 choice—everything 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 easy-to-remember 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 week's best bargains.But should you drive or take the train? To answer that question you only have to press 189 for the traffic report.It is very simple to use.But probably the best thing about the service is that it is being updated all the time.Journalists type new materials directly onto the screen and whole pages of the magazine can be replaced in minutes.London already has three services.One, transmitted(输送) by ITV, is called ORACLE while the other two, on BBC, are called CEEFAX because they let you see facts.Although CEEFAX and ORACLE have been operating for some time, they have not been well publicized.BBC engineers do not think that their idea will ever replace books and newspapers because they can be taken with you everywhere.But many people would agree that this is a breakthrough(突破) as great as the invention of printing, which could change not just our reading habits but our whole way of life.【语篇解读】本文介绍了伦敦的一种新式的不用印在纸上的报纸,它是印刷业的一个突破,它不仅将改变人们的阅读习惯,还将改变人们的生活方式。
