An unwritten rule encouraging silence, 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 here 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 talking to one another.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, 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.4. Which partly leads to the silence on the Tube in London?A. The government’s rule.B. People’s desire for quiet.C. British people’s personality.D. Awareness of personal privacy.5. 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.6. Why does the author mention Brian and Michael?A. To stress the importance of communication.B. To show not everyone a grees with Dunne’s idea.C. To prove Londoners are speechless on the Tube.D. To state the disadvantages of chatting with strangers.7. 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?COur local Community Youth Club is a very popular organization with young people in my town. I have been a member for four years now and I’ve ta ken part in a lot of interesting projects. These include fun activities such as holiday camps and discos. We have organized sports competitions and we even made a video.But it isn’t all just enjoyment, we have also started doing social work to help peopl e in our neighbourhood. We have organized activities for small children during the holidays. We have also formed a social support group to help young people stop smoking.We are particularly proud of the most recent group we have created. It organizes regular visits to the local old people’s home. This idea came from a school visit to an old people’ home. My class spent an afternoon at a home and everyone found the visit very rewarding.The old people at the home were very excited by our visit. They were very talkative(健谈的) and they told us their personal stories. During our visit ,the home was filled with the sound of laughter. We sang songs and played games with the old people and had tea together. But we realized that life wasn’t always easy. Some of t hem were in poor health and were very unhappy. They couldn’t go outside the visits by children brought some sunshine into their lives.Many young people like me do not live with our grandparents and we have very little contact with elderly people. As a re sult, many young people don’t know what they are like and we have a lot of wrong ideas about them. We have little or no idea of the kind of lives they lead in their homes. After this visit, my friends and I decided we should do something to help improve the quality of their lives.Since the creation of our visiting group, over twenty volunteers(志愿者) have joined us. Up to now, we have organized three group evenings and a concert. But it is the individual(单独的) visits which are the most important. Club members regularly visit old people and everyone finds the experience rich and rewarding.8.

Six people who had received the stimulation(刺激) lost on average about 8 percent of the fat on their trunks in four months, scientists reported at the annual meeting of the Society for Neuroscience.The headset stimulated the vestibular nerve(前庭神经), which runs just behind the ears. That nerve sends signals to the hypothalamus, a brain structure thought to control the body’s fat storage. By stimulating the nerve with an electrical current, the technique shifts the body away from storing fat toward burning it.Six overweight and obese people received the treatment, consisting of up to four one-hour-long sessions of stimulation a week. Because it activated the vestibular system, the stimulation created the sensation of gently rocking on a boat or floating in a pool, said the study’s co-author Jason McKeown of the University of California, San Diego.After four months, body scans measured the trunk fat for the six people receiving the treatment and three people who received unreal stimulation. All six in the treatment group lost some trunk fat, despite not having changed their activity or diet. In contrast, those in the unreal group gained some fat. Researchers suspect that changes in the set of life-sustaining chemical transformations within human cells are behind the difference. "The results were a lot better than we th ought they’d be," McKeown said.Earlier studies found that vestibular nerve stimulation causes mice to drop fat and pack on muscle, resultingin what McKeown called Schwarzenegger mice. Though small, the current study suggests that the approach has promise in people. McKeown and his colleagues have started a company based on the technology and plan to test it further.12. What is an electrical current used for?A. Causing the body to burn its fat.B. Controlling the body’s storage of fat.C. Seeing if the headset will be affected.D. Speeding the process of one’s digesting.13. What’s the probable reason for the different results in participants?A. The length of stimulation they received.B. The type of stimulation they received.C. The difference in their vestibular system.D. The way chemicals process in their body.14. Which is true about McKeown’s current findings?A. They have a kind of practical value.B. They go against those of earlier tests on mice.C. They were widely recognized at the meeting.D. They have been tested by McKeown’s company.15. What can be the best title of the text?A. The science of zapping fatB. A new trial of weight lossC. Zapping certain nerves leads to fat lossD. Exercise for weight loss and get fit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。
