She pauses briefly to write in a nearby notepad before showing her words to a passing café waiter: “Where are the toilets please?” This is a familiar scene in Tokyo’s so-called “silent cafes”, where customers are not allowed to speak, and only communicate by writing in notepads.‎ The concept rises by a desire to be alone among youg Japanese, a situation brought by economic uncertainty, a shift in traditional family support structures and the growing social isolation(隔离). The phenomenon is not limited to coffee shops but covers everything from silent discos, where participants dance alone wearing wireless headphones connected to the DJ, to products such as small desk tents designed for conversation-free privacy in the office. One Kyoto company even offers single women the opportunity to have a “one woman wedding” – a full bridal affair, complete with white dress and ceremony, and the only thing missing is the groom. The trend has its own media expression – “botchi-zoku”, referring to individuals who consciously choose to do things completely on their own.‎ One recent weekday afternoon, Chihiro Higashikokubaru, a 23-year-old nurse, travelled 90 minutes from her home, to Tokyo on her day off in order to enjoy some solo time. Speaking quietly at the entrance of the café, Miss Higashikokubaru said: “I heard about this place via Twitter and I like the idea of coming here. I work as a nurse and it’s always very busy. There are very few quiet places in Tokyo, and it’s a big busy city. I just want to come and sit somewhere quietly on my own. I’m going to drink a cup of tea and maybe do some drawings. I like the idea of a quiet, calm atmosphere.”‎ The desire to be isolated is not a new concept in Japan, home to an estimated 3.6 million “hikikomori” – a more extreme example of social recluses（隐士）who withdraw completely from society.‎ ‎24. What is special about the “silent café”?‎ A. It offers service by writing not by speaking.‎ B. People are not allowed to communicate.‎ C. It has attracted many popular young people.‎ D. It provides various tea and books.‎ ‎25. Which of the following accounts for the idea of being alone in Japan?‎ A. The increasing social isolation.‎ B. The stable economic situation..‎ C. The rapid development of internet.‎ D. The rising demand for privacy ‎26. What do we know about Higashikokubaru?‎ A. She doesn’t like to be a nurse.‎ B. She doesn’t like the life in big cities.‎ C. She enjoys her solo time in a quiet place.‎ D. She travelled to Tokyo on her work days.‎ ‎27. What is the best title of the passage?‎ A. Lonely Japanese B. Silent cafes ‎ C. One woman wedding D. Social recluses in Japan C Bees seem to fly aimlessly as they search for the sugary liquid called nectar (花蜜). But their flight plans actually do have a pattern. Flowers act as the insects’ air-traffic controllers. And new research shows bees prefer flowers that aren’t too flashy.‎ Flowers give bees clues about how much a plant can offer. Those clues can be in the color of petals, in the type, in the smell or even in the electrical charge. All of these characteristics send signals to the bees, telling them whether to land or not, among which the colors play the most significant role. The insects keep track of the color of the flowers that are especially rich in nectar. They then visit more flowers of that color.‎ However, color can’t guarantee bees a good meal. It may change depending on the angle at which sunlight hits its petals. A yellow follower, for example, may look somewhat blue from one angle and red from another. Beverley Glover studies plants at the University of Cambridge in England. Glover and her colleagues showed that ‎ even when the color of petals looks similar, bees behave differently in searching for nectar. They started to guess that the strength of petals’ indescence (色彩斑斓) might be related to how bees find the petals.‎ Glover and her colleagues tested their hypothesis in the lab. In their experiment, they found that bees felt confused sometimes when the petals were very iridescent and that bees had no problem finding the flowers with more nectar when the petals were not very iridescent. The team shared its new findings in the March 21 Current Biology.‎ ‎ “At first glance, it’s very surprising because animals can usually detect a more vivid signal more easily,” says Klaus Lunau, a biologist in Germany, who was not involved in the study.‎ ‎28. What can we know about the flight of bees?‎ ‎ A. They usually fly in a regular pattern. ‎ ‎ B. They fly under the direction of flowers.‎ ‎ C. They usually fly without any purpose.‎ ‎ D. They fly to some very flashy flowers.‎ ‎29. What is the most important clue for bees to search for nectar?‎ ‎ A. The petals’ type. B. The followers’ smell. ‎ ‎ C. The followers’ electrical charge. D. The petals’ color.‎ ‎30. What does the underlined word “hypothesis” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?‎ ‎ A. Discussion. B. Method. C. Assumption. D. Invention. ‎ ‎31. What is the new finding of the team?‎ ‎ A. Petals that are not very flashy are better for bees to make adjustments.‎ ‎ B. Petals of different color usually give different signals.‎ ‎ C. Petals that are vivid are detected by bees more easily.‎ ‎ D. Petals of different types make bees confused to find the right flower.‎ D A new study of 8,000 young people in the Journal of Health and Social Behavior shows that although love can make adults live healthily and happily, it is a bad thing for young people. Puppy love (早恋), may bring stress for young people and can lead to depression. The study shows that girls become more depressed than boys, and younger girls are the worst of all.‎ The possible reason for the connection between love and higher risk of depression for girls is “loss of self”. According to the study, even though boys would say “lose themselves in a romantic relationship”, this “loss of self” is much more likely to lead to depression when it happens to girls. Young girls who have romantic relationships usually like hiding their feelings and opinions. They won’t tell that to their parents.‎ Dr.Marianm Kaufman, an expert on young people problems, says 15% to 20% young people will have depression during their growing. Trying romance often causes the depression. She advises kids not to jump into romance too early. During growing up, it is important for young people to build strong friendships and a strong sense of self. She also suggests the parents should encourage their kids to keep close to their ‎ friends, attend more interesting school activities and spend enough time with family.‎ Parents should watch for signs of depression-eating or mood changes-and if they see signs from their daughters or sons, they need to give help. The good news is that the connection between romance and depression seems to become weak with age. Love will always make us feel young, but only maturity gives us a chance to avoid its bad side effects.‎ ‎32. What’s the main idea of the passage?‎ ‎ A. Romance is a two-edged sword for adults.‎ ‎ B. Puppy love may bring young people depression.‎ ‎ C. Parents should forbid their children’s love.‎ ‎ D. Romance is good for young people.‎ ‎33. Which of the following is more likely to have depression?‎ ‎ A. Careless parents whose children are deep in love.‎ ‎ B. Young people who have a strong sense of selfishness.‎ ‎ C. Young boys whose parents watch for their behavior. ‎ ‎ D. Young girls who always hide their feelings and opinions.‎ ‎34. What can be inferred from the passage?‎ ‎ A. Lacking love can lead young people to grow up more quickly.‎ ‎ B. Early love makes young people keep close to their friends and parents. ‎ ‎ C. The older a woman is, the less likely she seems to lose herself in romance.‎ ‎ D. Parents should help their children to be aware of the signs of depression.‎ ‎35. What’s the author’s attitude towards puppy love?‎ ‎ A. Confused C. Neutral B. Scared D. Disapproving 第二节 （共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）‎ 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。选项中的两项为多余选项。‎ ‎ Imagine that you’re an actor or actress performing in a play for the first time. You’ve learned all your lines and you know where to walk on stage. Waiting behind the closed curtain, you can hear the audience whispering. Then your big moment arrives! The curtain goes up, and the crowd falls silent. All you can see is the spotlight shining down on you.   36 .The inside of your mouth is dry, and your hands are wet.‎ ‎ If you’ve experienced a moment like this, you know all too well what it means to have stage fright. It’s one of the most common types of fear.  37 .You can experience this kind of fear when playing sports, giving a talk, or even speaking in class.‎ ‎ 38 .The experience differs from person to person, but the same chemical process occurs on each of us. In reaction to anxiety, our bodies produce a chemical that prepares us to either fight or run away quickly. Scientists refer to this as our bodies’ “fight for flight” reaction. As a result, we feel the great energy that makes our hands sweat, our hearts race and knees shake.‎ ‎ 39 .Practicing your performance and following some simple tips can help you calm down and manage the feelings caused by anxiety. Firstly, dress comfortably and ‎ appropriately. Secondly, before the performance, take deep breaths and stretch to help relax your body. Thirdly, stay away from drinks that contain caffeine(咖啡因).  40 .Instead, try a banana! Some doctors believe that eating a banana can help calm your heart and the rest of your body. Finally, when you look into a crowd, try to focus on particular people rather than the whole group. These tips have helped many people learn to deal with their fears. ‎ A. Then you try to speak your lines, but nothing seems to come out.‎ B. Stage fright is really part of the body’s reaction to stress.‎ C. With practice, we can learn how to relax while playing sports.‎ D. Maybe you don’t have to be onstage to get stage fright.‎ E. These might make your heart race even faster. ‎ F. There’s a time when stage fright prevents you from stepping onstage.‎ G. However, the good news about stage fright is that there are a way to deal with it.‎ 第三部分：英语知识运用 第一节：完形填空 （共20小题，每小题1.5分，满分30分） ‎ 阅读下面短文。从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 ‎ ‎ ‎ A woman professor was giving a lesson to her students on ___41___ management.
