Despite being used by 1.24 billion people each year, traveling on the Tube in London can actually be quite lonely.
One citizen, however, is trying to change this, “You get on the Tube and it’s completely silent and it’s weird,” says Jonathan Dunne, who has stared a worldwide dialogue after giving out badges (徽章) with the words “Tube chat?” last month, encouraging passengers in London to get talking 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 since 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 feedback, not everyone agrees with his idea, 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, 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 the West, why not say hello to the person next to you? Just make sure to check for a badge first.
32.How did Dunne encourage London passengers to talk with each other?
A.By putting up posters on the tube.
B.By advocating his idea on the media. D.By starting a dialogue with passengers.
C.By offering passengers special badges. 33.How is Dunne’s campaign getting along?
A.It has caught international attention. B.It has become a worldwide campaign. C.Most passengers have refused to accept it. D.Wilson has made great efforts to promote it.
34.According to Michael Robinson, what should tube passengers do?
A.Hand in their feedback in time. C.Stop using public transport.
B.Walk up and talk to strangers. D.Enjoy the peace quietly.
35.What can be the best title for the text?
A.Tube Chat or Not

B.Lonely Travel in London Tube D.Tube Passengers Wearing Badges
C.Silence on the Tube

show that will be showing, 36 Read this article to find out how you can get a good seat for an evening event at any Disney park.

Usually, if you decide an hour beforehand that you’re going to see a show, you will likely end
up not getting a good seat, unless the park is not very busy. 37

Whenever Prince George steps out for an engagement. like on the royal tour of Canada, or
poses for 61 (office) photographs, he only ever wears shorts, 62 has long confused royal watchers.
According to William Hanson, 63 expert in ceremony, there’s a very good reason for
this—and it has nothing to do 64 fashion, but rather a royal tradition that 65 (date) back to the sixteenth century, A new born baby would 66 (dress) is a gown for their first year or two. Then he was “breached (穿裤礼)” and wore articles of clothing like shorts. The usual custom is that a boy graduates to trousers around eight years old.
With times 67 (change),middle class boys began to wear trousers but they are considered suburban (土气的) by the upper, Hanson explains,“ 68 is a very English thing to dress a young boy in shorts.” The British upper are always keen to hold on to tradition, and this also 69 (silent) marks them out from “the rest”, However, as for William and Kate, the 70 (decide) to dress George in shorts is more likely down to tradition than a class issue. 第四部分 写作(共两节,满分35分)

Recently, a famous basketball player has caused public angry by writing on the Great wall. In
the fact, this happens in many place of interest, I had some suggestions to solve this problem.
First, make more posters to inform the public the damage of graffiti(涂鸦).Besides,
punishments, such as a fine, is necessary to tourists with so bad behaviors. Also, I think it’s helpfully to put up some boards along the tourist attractions that tourists can leave messages.

cultural relics.
