問題詳情：

Traveling by subway can sometimes be quite an adventure, especially during rush hour. There are the times when you have to avoid cups of coffee that could spill (濺) on you. The smells of some passengers' food are very strong, too.

According to the Beijing subway passenger regulations, which went into effect on May 15th, passengers except babies and the sick are no longer allowed to eat or drink on the subway. Violators (違規者) who do not stop after being asked to will be asked to get off. The violation will also be recorded in the violators' credit record.

Some support the rule. The reason is that the smell of food and drink can annoy other passengers.  “The smell of food fills the carriage, causing people discomfort, especially in the hot summer. Besides, eating on the  subway produces  rubbish. And on the subway, people often spill their drinks，” said Zheng Yiou, 17, a student from Hefei.

However, others question this rule.  “Some citizens live so far from their work places that they have limited time to have breakfast before they go to work. Eating while they travel saves them time and decreases the chance that they will be late for work，” He Songlin, a 17－year－old student from Chengdu said. “And some people, like those with low blood sugar levels, get sick if they can't eat when they must.”

Other Chinese cities like Nanjing and Chengdu have similar regulations. Some foreign cities also ban eating and drinking on the subway. For example, eating and drinking have long been banned on the subway in Washington, D. C. Singapore fines people who eat or drink on the subway up to 500 Singapore dollars.

Chen Yanyan, a professor from Beijing University of Technology, believed we should consider the need of some people to eat  or drink  on  the  subway.   “Commuters (上班族) and travelers are sometimes too busy to eat. Maybe we could learn from Tokyo, where there are many subway stations equipped with services, allowing passengers to eat and drink，”  she said.

【回答】

1.D　細節理解題。根據第二段第一句中的“According to the Beijing subway passenger regulations, which went into effect on May 15th”可知，D項正確。

2.C　細節理解題。根據第五段尾句“Singapore fines people who eat or drink on the subway up to 500 Singapore dollars.”可知，在新加坡，違規在地鐵上吃喝將被罰款最高500新加坡元。故C項正確。

3.B　推理判斷題。根據尾段內容可知，陳教授認為，我們應當考慮一些人對在地鐵上吃喝的需求。上班族和旅客太忙，沒有時間吃飯，可以學習東京的做法，在地鐵站配備相應的服務系統，允許乘客在地鐵站吃喝。據此可推知，陳教授是贊同在地鐵上吃喝的，故B項正確。

4.A　標題判斷題。通讀全文可知，本文第二段第一句“According to the Beijing subway passenger regulations ... passengers except babies and the sick are no longer allowed to eat or drink on the subway.”為全文的主題句；並結合全文內容可知，本文主要介紹了《*市軌道交通乘客守則》的規定，即除嬰兒和病人外，乘客不得在地鐵上吃喝；並介紹了與此有類似規定的城市的情況及人們對此的態度，故A項最適合作本文標題。
