第二部分 阅读理解（满分40分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
21．（6分） A young woman sits alone in a cafe sipping tea and reading a book. She pauses briefly to write on a nearby notepad（便条薄）before showing her words to a passing cafe 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 on notepads.
The concept rises from a desire to be alone among young Japanese，a situation brought by economic uncertainty，a shift in traditional family support structures and the growing social loneliness. The phenomenon（现象）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 the 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 30-year-old nurse, traveled 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 cafe, 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 alone is not a new concept in Japan，home to about 3.6 million" hikikomori"--a more extreme example of social recluses（隐士）who withdraw completely from society.
1、What is special about the "silent cafe"？
A．It provides various tea and books.
B．People are not allowed to communicate.
C．It has attracted many young people.
D．It offers service by writing not by speaking.
2、Which of the following explains the idea of being alone in young Japanese？
A．The increasing social loneliness.
B．The stable economic situation.
C．The rising demand for privacy.
D．The rapid development of the Internet.
3、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 workdays.
4、What is the best title of the passage？
A．Silent Cafes B．Lonely Japanese
C．One Woman Wedding D．Social Recluses in Japan
22．（8分）“Facts” That Are False

The $100 bill is the biggest bill in circulation. Although the federal government stopped printing them in 1945, currency notes of $500, $1,000, $5,000, and $10,000 are still legal tender. Most of them have been snatched up by private collectors. Between December 18, 1934, and January 9,1935, the government put out $100,000 notes. However, they were only for transactions between Federal Reserve banks and never went out to the general public.

The Sahara is the world’s largest desert. Technically, Antarctica is. The U.S. Geological Survey defines a desert as “dry land with a rainfall of usually less than ten inches per year that supports only sparse vegetation and a limited population of people and animals.” Antarctica averages only six inches of rain a year (mostly as snow) and is almost 5.5 million square miles. The Sahara is only 3.3 million square miles.

The green paste served with your sushi is wasabi. Wasabi is expensive and difficult to grow. Since it’s in the same family, most restaurants and food companies use horseradish (with food coloring) instead. Real wasabi is more complex and sweeter than what you get in a typical Japanese restaurant.

_______________________________________ The ostriches would suffocate (窒息) if they did. If an enemy is approaching, a frightened ostrich will lay its head and neck flat against the ground as a camouflage (伪装) ploy. Some human onlookers have assumed that the birds’ light-colored heads were actually in the sand.
258、Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?
A．As other bigger bills are out of print, the $100 bill is still the biggest one.
B．Antarctica with very little rainfall is considered as the largest desert.
C．Horseradish can be substituted with wasabi for the similar taste and color.
D．An ostrich often uses its head as a weapon to fight against its enemy.
1、Which of the following is the best fit for the blank?
A．Ostriches can breathe in the sand.
B．Ostriches have very smart brains.
C．Ostriches bury their heads in the sand.
D．The ostrich’s head is the lightest in the world.
23．（8分） Spotify can tell if you're sad. Here's why that should scare you. Want to figure out if someone is a patient with a mental disability: Ask them what their favorite song is. A New York University study last year found that people who loved Eminem's Lose Yourself and Justin Bieber's What Do You Mean? were more likely to have trouble with mental disabilities than people who were into Dire Straits.
Over the past few years, Spotify has been improving the ability to analyze information to help businessmen target consumers with advertisements made specially for their needs. They conclude this from the sort of music you're listening to, combined with where and when you're listening to it, along with third-party data that might be available.
Now, to be clear, there's nothing significantly illegal about what Spotify is doing with your information. I certainly don't think that they are working with shadowy consulting firms to serve you ads selling a culture struggle while you're listening to music that suggests you might be in a terrible situation. However, I find it disappointing that our personal, private moments with music are increasingly being turned into information points and offered to advertisers.
You can see where this could go, can't you? As ad targeting gets ever more accurate, businessmen will have the ability to target our feelings in potentially improper ways. According to one study, you are more likely to spend more on a product if you're feeling sad. You can imagine some companies might take advantage of that. And on that note, I'm feeling a little down about all this. Head off to treat myself to something expensive.
1、What's the purpose of the first paragraph?
A．To introduce a new song. B．To draw readers' attention.
C．To help more patients. D．To promote a new medium.
2、Spotify improves its ability to analyze information to .
A．provide services for the government B．work with shadowy consulting firms
C．get listeners' personal information D．help businessmen attract consumers
3、What's the author's attitude towards Spotify?
A．Uncertain. B．Supportive. C．Positive. D．Dissatisfied.
4、Who is the text probably designed for?
A．Internet users. B．Officials. C．Researchers. D．Managers.
24．（8分）Bats are the only mammals(哺乳动物) that can fly a great distance, but they have another ability. Many bats live a very long time for an animal of their size. European researchers are studying bats to understand why they lives0 long. They hope to make discoveries aimed at fighting the aging process in human beings.
Last week, the group of scientists said they had identified important biological qualities in some bat species. The group studied bat chromosomes(染色体), a line of genes found in the nucleus(细胞核) of cells. The scientists were most interested in structures connected to the ends of the chromosomes. They are called telomeres(端粒), which protect the ends of chromosomes and shorten each time a cell divides. Scientists believe this shortening process causes cells to breakdown. They say this is what causes aging.
The European researchers studied 493 bats from four bat species. The group used information that had been gathered over more than 60 years. Of these animals ，the greater mouse-eared bat generally lived the longest, an average of 37 years. The scientists said this and a related species, which are grouped together under the name Myotis, had telomeres that did not shorten with age. Another Myotis bat holds the record for oldest age, reaching 41years. The scientists’ findings suggest that these bats cells have the ability to maintain and repair their telomeres. This, they said, helps guard against the aging process.
Based on its body size, a bat like the greater mouse-eared bat would be expected to live four years. But, these mammals have been found to live nearly 10 times longer than that. The scientists found that only 19 species of mammals live longer than humans when their body size is considered. Eighteen of these are bats.
1、European researchers are studying bats mainly hoping to .
A．learn the living habit of bats.
B．find out why bats enjoy a long life.
C．try to understand why bats can fly as a mammal
D．discover a good way to prevent human beings from aging.
2、What does the second paragraph mainly explain to us?
A．The structures of bats’ chromosomes.
B．What cause aging biologically.
C．The functions of telomeres.
D．What causes cells to break down.
3、The greater mouse-eared bat and Myotis bat live so long because .
A．they are grouped together under the name Myois
B．their telomeres are decreasing with age
C．their ells are able to keep up and fix their telomeres
D．their bodies produce more telomeres than human beings
4、From the last paragraph, we can infer that. .
A．bats live 10 times longer that human beings
B．bats enjoy the longest life among mammals
C．bats like the greater mouse-eared bat should have lived longer
D．Most bats live longer than human beings considering their body size
25．（10分）John D．Rockefeller once said: “The ability to deal with people is as purchasable a commodity (商品) as sugar or coffee. And I will pay more for that ability than for any other under the sun.”
Wouldn’t you suppose that every college in the land would run courses: to develop the highest-priced ability under the sun? But that’s not the case.
The University of Chicago and the United Y. M. C．A．Schools conducted a survey to determine what adults want to study.
That survey cost $ 25, 000 and took two years. The last part of the survey was made in Meriden, Connecticut. It had been chosen as a typical American town. Every adult in Meriden was Interviewed and requested to answer 156 questions—questions such as “What is your business or profession? Your education? How do you spend your spare time? What is your income? Your hobbies? Your ambitions? Your problems? What subjects are you most interested in?” and so on. That Survey revealed that health is the prime interest of adults and, that .their second interest is people—how to understand, and, get along with people; how to make people like, you; and how to win others over to your way of thinking.
So the committee conducting this survey decided to run such a course for adults in Meriden. They searched for a practical textbook on the subject but found nothing. Finally they approached one of the world's outstanding authorities on adult education and asked him if he knew of any book that met the needs of this group. “No,” he replied, “I know what those adults want.
