put a bag on the adjacent seat, or even better, avoid eye contact. these are just some of the unspoken rules public commuters use to stay in their personal bubbles.“we live in a world of strangers, where life in public spaces feels increasingly secret,” a sociologist kim said. “however, avoiding other people actually requires quite a lot of effort, and this is especially true in limited spaces like public transport.”the seeming golden rule of bus transport, kim found, is that if the bus isnt full dont sit next to someone else, because “it makes you look strange,” passengers told her. as seats fill up, passengers put on their acting faces to keep those boarding from placing their rumps(臂部) next to them.“we engage in all sorts of behavior to avoid others, pretending to be busy, checking phones, searching through bags, looking past people or falling asleep,” kim said in the statement. “sometimes we even put on a dont-bother-me face or whats known as the hate stare. if all else fails, you can lie and say that you are saving the seat for someone.”this “avoid-contact-at-all-costs” objective changes when the driver announces the bus will be full so all seats should be made available. “the objective changes, from sitting alone to sitting next to a normal person,” kim said.whats behind the nonsocial behavior? safety concerns play a large role, as passengers considered coach travel to be dangerous. they also dont trust fellow commuters. in addition, it may result from “the many frustrations of sharing a small public space together for a lengthy amount of time.”whatever the cause, kim said, the phenomenon is troubling.“as a sociologist, this is a concern to me because i believe in a healthy society individuals need to interact with others,” kim said. “the people i spoke with seemed to tell me that they just dont want to be bothered by strangers.”“i understand that they may feel this way on a long commute, but when these feelings become part of their everyday lives, i believe there will be a breakdown of society,” kim said.1. the underlined word “adjacent” in paragraph 1 may mean _.a. big b. nearbyc. distant d. clean2. the fourth paragraph is mainly about _.a. how to save seats for othersb. where to find an empty seatc. what we do to avoid contactd. who would like to be a normal sitter3. what statement may kim agree to?a. people need to engage with others in a healthy society,b. society may break down if people interact with others.c. strangers like to bother others on a long journey.d. the feelings of being troubled may destroy our life.4. the passage is mainly about _.a. how strangers on a bus behave themselvesb. why fellow travelers avoid interaction on a busc. what commuters make contact with each otherd. when you are familiar with strangers next to you答案与解析【语篇解读】 这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了我们在汽车上或者其他的公共交通工具上的时候，不希望陌生人坐在自己旁边的心理，同时说明了造成这个现象的原因等。1. 答案 b解析 词义猜测题。从划线前面的部分“sit next to you”不愿意让他人挨着你坐下，因此这里的座位，应该是空着的邻座，故选b项。2. 答案 c解析 段落大意题。这一段中主要介绍了当我们不愿意他人坐在自己旁边的时候，采取的一些阻止他人的措施，如假装看手机，或者睡觉等，故选c项。3. 答案 a解析 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段的“in a healthy society individuals need to interact with others”可知她认为在一个健康的社会中，每个个人应该与他人进行接触和交流。故选a项。4. 答案 b解析 主旨大意题。本文主要介绍了人们习惯上在公共交通工具上，避免与他人的接触和交流的情况，指出造成这个现象的原因有很多，同时还介绍了它的损害等，因此b项符合主旨。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。what makes homeschooling better than traditional schooling?
