people do not look at each other. in fact, eye contact is avoided at all times. thats not rudenesspeople are just too busy to bother looking. busy doing what, you ask? well, theyre certainly not using the time for a moment of quiet reflection, nor are they reading a book. new technology has replaced quiet habits. today the only acceptable form of book on the london underground is an e-book. apple must earn a fortune from london commuters(乘车上下班的人). since the launch of the iphone in 2007, over 40,000yes, thats 40,000“apps”（programs downloaded for the iphone）have been designed. commuters love them because they are the perfect time-killers. one “app”, called ishoot, is a game that features tanks(坦克). another one, tube exits, tells passengers where to sit on the train to be closest to the exit of their destination. isteam clouds the iphone screen when you breathe into the microphone. you can then write in the “ steam” on your phone screen. for those without an iphone, another apple product, the ipod, may be another choice. its not just teenagers who “plug in” to their musicipods are a popular way to pass the time for all ages. and if games, e-books and music arent enough to keep you occupied, then perhaps you would prefer a film. the development of palm dvd technology means many commuters watch their favorite tv show or film on the way to work. with all this entertainments, its amazing that people still remember to get off the train.28. people in london do not make eye contact on the subway because _. a. they are busy reading books b. they are not very polite c. thinking

all the new time-killers, london commuters often forget to get off the train c. technology is changing the way london commuters spend their traveling time d. apple has earned a lot of money from selling 40,000 iphones【考点】社会现象【试题解析】28细节理解根据文章第二段中的new technology has replaced quiet habits，可知，是由于新的技术，电子产品的盛行，导致了这种状况。故答案d正确。29细节理解根据文章第三段中的one “app”, called ishoot, is a game that features tanks，可知a选项是属于战斗类游戏，故选a。30词义猜测根据对文章上下文的理解，可知occupied一词的意思与busy相31主旨大意综合全文的内容，文章主要讲述的是电子产品改变了日常上下班做公家车，坐地铁的人的习惯，让坐在公家车和地铁的人再也没有任何的交流，只是不注意力集中在自己的电子设备上，故选c。【答案】28-31 dabcd the world is filled with smart, talented and gifted peoplewe meet them every daya few days ago, my car was not running well. i pulled it into a garage, and the young mechanic had it fixed within just a few minutes. he knew what was wrong by simply listening to the engine. i was amazed. the sad truth is that only great talent is not enough i am often shocked at how little talented people earn. i heard the other day that less than 5 percent of americans earn more than $100,000 a year. a business consultant (顾问) who specializes in the medical trade was telling me how many doctors and dentists struggle with money. it was this business consultant that gave me the phase, “they are one skill away from great wealth”. there is an old saying that goes，“job means just over broke(破产）”and unfortunately，i would say that the saying applies to millions of people. because school does not think financial(财务的）intelligence is intelligence, most workers “live within their means”. they work and they pay the bills. instead i recommend to young people to seek work for what they will learn, more than what they will earn when i ask the classes i teach, “how many of you can cook a better hamburger than mcdonalds?” almost all the students raise their handsi then ask, “so if most of you can cook a better hamburger, how come mcdonalds makes more money than you?” the answer is obvious: mcdonalds is excellent at business systems. the reason why so many talented people are poor is that they focus on building a better hamburger and know little or nothing about business systems. the world is filled with talented poor people. they focus on perfecting their skills at building a better hamburger rather than the skills of selling and delivering the hamburger32how did the mechanic find the problem in the car?a. by listening to the engine b. by listening to what the author saidc. by pulling it to the garage d. by driving it33why do talented people earn so little according to the author?a. they have no talents b. they have no good skillsc. they dont work enough d. they dont have financial intelligence34the success of mcdonalds lies in its a. skills at making hamburgers b. excellent servicec. talented workers d. good business systems 35which of the following is true according to the passage?a. the world lacks smart, talented and gifted people.b. the world lacks skilled workers.c. the world lacks people like mcdonalds.d. the world lacks excellent doctors and dentists.【考点】人生百味【试题解析】32细节理解根据第一段中的he knew what was wrong by simply 33推理判断根据文章中最后一段中的the reason why so many talented people are poor is that they focus on building a better hamburger and know little or nothing about business systems，可以推断，有才华的人赚的钱不多主要是因为他们没有懂得经营的技巧，故d选项的意思与之相符，选d。34推理判断与上题所找到的相应的句子一样，也是可以从那个句子中找到此答案，故选d。35细节理解分析文章的意思，可知文章中作者说的是这个世界上不乏有才华的人，但他们由于缺乏像麦当劳的管理者一样的经验才能，因此就不能赚大钱，故选c。【答案】32-35
