【语篇导读】地铁上的乘客们一般不喜欢聊天。作者有一次乘地铁，车厢里正好有一个空座位，作者坐下后邻座的女士一直在抱怨，作者问她自己是否需要离开，可是又得到了否定的答复。于是，作者决定和这位女士聊天，而这次聊天后来很愉快。
1．C 本空指的是上文提到的“Folk on the subway don’t talk. They don’t want you to interrupt their day. ”可知，此处表示这是很久以前别人告诉作者的规则。故选C项。
2．D 根据下文中的“I scrunched into the space beside a woman…”可以推断，地铁上有一个空座。故选D项。
3．A 根据下文中的“Oh yeah, she had to sit here. It makes me all uncomfortable. ”可以推断，这位女士对于作者坐在她身边很不开心。故选A项。
4．B 根据下文中的“I can move”可知，作者问那位女士是否需要自己离开那个座位。故选B项。
5．A 结合语境和下文中的“I suppose you can stay. ”可知，尽管这位女士对于作者坐在她身边感到不开心，但是并没有大声发作，所以此处用whispered。故选A项。
6．B 根据语境可知，尽管这位女士嘴上说作者可以坐在那里，但是她的声音告诉作者她不欢迎作者。故选B项。
7．D 根据上文中讲到的“It makes me all uncomfortable. ”“I was not welcome”可以推断，作者坐在那个座位上似乎打扰(bothering)到了那位女士。故选D项。

9．D 根据上文中提到的“With a huge sigh”并结合空前的Another可知，空处为词汇复现，表示“又一声叹息”。故选D项。
10．A 根据常识可知，地铁上的乘客一般都是陌生人。故选A项。
11．D 空前一句讲到了“地铁上的陌生人不想要我打扰他们”，而空后则讲到了“我想我们可以聊天”，据此可知，前后形成了转折，故空处选择D项Still，意为“但，不过”。故选D项。
12．B 结合语境可知，作者和这位女士开始聊天，并逐渐提到了天气和人等话题。故选B项。
