It is Londons first Light Rail System, but its route follows that of a number of older lines, which carried the n

9、ineteenth century railways through the crowded districts of the East End. The section of the line from the Tower Gateway Station to Poplar follows the line of one of Londons earliest railways, the London & Blackwell（1840）, a cable-drawn railway（later converted to steam） which carried passengers to s

10、team ships at Blackwell Pier, and provided transport for the messengers and clerks who went backwards and forwards between the docks and the city every day. From Poplar to Island Gardens, a new line crosses high above the dock waters, and then joins the old track of the Millwall Extension Railway, b

11、uilt to service the Millwall Docks（1868） and to provide transport for workers in the local factories. This line was horse-drawn for part of its route, until the 1880s. The Poplar to Stratford section of the DLR route was first developed by the North London Railway, built in the 1850s to link the Wes

12、t and East India Docks with the manufacturing districts of the Midlands and North of England. There were major railway works and sidings（岔线） at Bow until recently. The trains are automatically controlled from a central computer, which deals with all signaling and other safety factors, as well as adj

13、usting speeds to keep within the timetable; on board each vehicle, Train Captains, who are also fully qualified drivers, are equipped with two-way radios to maintain contact with central control. There are passenger lifts, and self-service ticket machines, at every station.21. The history of the rai

16、elsewhereB Californias attack on second-hand smoke reached its historic high this New Year, when even indoor areas in bars and casinos became smoke-free by force of law. The rules on smoke exposure have taken a 180-degree turn in less than a generation. In the United States of my youth, every citize

17、n was hostage（人质）to other peoples cigarettes in airplanes, in offices and in almost every other public place. Now the indoor areas of public life are all nonsmoking zones an inconvenience for the 25% of adults who smoke, but a benefit of large proportions to the breathing system of the 75% who do no

18、t. In the cold and flu, the greatest risk of appearing in public is not tobacco smoke, but rather contagious（接触传染的）disease. And strangers who would not dream of blowing smoke in your face seem happy enough about coughing and sneezing whenever they see you coming. Isnt there a double standard here, w

19、hen the same folks prohibited from smoking in my office building can sneeze me home for a week of hell with the ruling bacterium of the season? Why dont the contagious among us stay home or wear those cut little paper nose and mouth covers or at least feel bad about putting the rest of us at risk of

20、 sharing their misery? Could it be that the similarity passing a law that requires germ-free public spaces. But two smaller lessons do come from the contrasting treatment of germs and cigarettes. The first lesson is that what we accept in public is much more a matter of particular social expectation

21、 than scientific studies. The French read scientific journals just as diligently as do Americans, yet the average French cafe contains more smoke than a forest fire. You are more likely to encounter a face full of tobacco smoke if you go to Japan this year than you would in Los Aneles. But you will

22、also notice hundreds of people on the subway in Japan who wear paper mask to avoid spreading contagious disease that they carry. Which culture is more considerate depends on the particular subject of the inquiry. The standard for what is polite in public varies tremendously from one social setting t

23、o another.24. The first paragraph tells us _. A. the rules on smoke exposure have become less strict B. in the past people exposed to other peoples cigarettes complained a lot C. in California, smoke-free zones in public places have existed for a long time D. most people can benefit from banning ind

Sick people should live alone and stay home wearing paper masks all winter. C. Strangers will feel bad when they cough and sneeze in front of other

25、 people. D. Those with contagious diseases feel bad sharing their misery with others.26. The tone of the passage is best described as _. A. encouraging B. worrying C. carefree D. suspicious27. What does the author want to express in this passage? A. Learn from Japan. B. Dont smoke indoors. C. Pay at

26、tention to environmental germs. D. Stay home all winter.C Google “information overload” and you are immediately overloaded with information: more than 7m hits in 0.05 seconds. Some of this information is interesting: for example, the phrase “information overload” was popularised by Alvin Toffler in

27、1970. Some of it is mere noise: obscure companies promoting their services and even more obscure bloggers sounding off. The overall impression is at once overwhelming and confusing. “Information overload” is one of the biggest irritations in modern life. There are e-mails to answer, YouTube videos t

28、o watch and, back in the physical world, meetings to attend and papers to shuffle（翻动）. A survey by Reuters once found that two-thirds of managers believe that the data deluge（泛滥）had made their jobs less satisfying or hurt their personal relationships. One-third thought that it had damaged their heal

29、th. Another survey suggests that most managers think most of the information they receive is useless. Some researchers raise three big worries. First, information overload can make people feel anxious and powerless: scientists have discovered that multitaskers produce more stress hormones. Second, o

30、verload can discourage creativity. Teresa Amabile of Harvard Business School has spent more than a decade studying the work habits of 238 people. She finds that focus and creativity are connected. People are more likely to be creative if they are allowed to focus on something for some time without i

31、nterruptions. If constantly interrupted or forced to attend meetings, they are less likely to be creative. Third, overload can also make workers less productive. David Meyer of the University of Michigan has shown that people who complete certain tasks in parallel take much longer and make many more errors than people who complete the same tasks in sequence. What can be
