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 cafés”, where cus tomers are not allowed to speak, and only communicate by writing in notepads.The concept rises by 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 isolation. 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 —“bot chi-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 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 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 cafes”?A. It provides various tea and books.B. People are not allowed to communicate.C. It has attracted many popular young people.D. It offers service by writing not by speaking.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 rising demand for privacy.D. The rapid development of internet.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. Silent cafesB. Lonely JapaneseC. One woman weddingD. Social recluses in JapanCOne form of social prejudice against older people is the belief that they cannot understand or use modern technology. Activities like playing computer games, going on the Net and downloading MP3s are only for the youngsters. Isn’t it unfair that older people enjoying a computer game should be frowned(皱眉) upon by their children and grandchildren?Nowadays older people have more control over their lives and they play a full part in society. Moreover, better health care has left more people in their sixties and seventies feeling fit and active after retirement. Mental activity, as well as physical exercise, can contribute to better health. Playing computer games is a very effective way of exercising the brain.When personal computers were first introduced, most older people didn’t believe they would ever familiarize themselves with it. Now computers have been around for a few generations and retired people have gradually become more relaxed about using them for fun. Gamers over 65 prefer playing puzzle games and card games. Kate Stevens, aged 72, says: “I find it very relaxing. It’s not very demanding, but you stillneed to c oncentrate. ”Another development that has favored “grey games” is a change in the type of videogames available on the market. There’s a greater variety of games to choose from, including more intellectual and complex strategy(策略) and simulation(模拟) games. Internet Chess and Train Simulator are among the most popular of these. Train Simulator is based on real-world rail activities. Players can choose from a variety of challenges, such as keeping to a strict-timetable and using helper engines during a winter storm.Some people argue that “grey gamers” simply don’t have the skills required for computer games, and that teenagers are better. This couldn’t be further from the truth. Most computer games require the kind of analytical thinking that improves with practice, which means that the “grey gamers” may well be far better than gamers half a century younger than them. In games where speed is the main consideration, older people would be at a disadvantage because they may have slower reaction time. On the other hand, “grey gamers” have a preference for slower paced, mind challenging games.28. The second paragraph is intended to .A. show the best way to exercise the brainB. stress the importance of good healthC. explain why grey gamers existD. teach how to play videogames29. What was older people’s attitude towards personal computers at first ?A. DoubtfulB. ConcernedC. EnthusiasticD. Supportive30. The method the author uses to develop Paragraph 4 is .A. offering analysesB. giving examplesC. making comparisonsD. providing details31. By saying “This couldn’t be further from the truth.” in Par agraph 5, the author means .A. mind challenging games are not suitable for older peopleB. children should improve their skills with practiceC. playing computer games requires analytical thinkingD. older people can perform well in some computer gamesDIn the mid-2000s, Waze Mobile co-founder Ehud Shabtai received a cutting-edge(尖端的) gift from his girlfriend: a GPS. The expensive gift was supposed to be helpful. But straight out of the box, it was alreadyout of date.Shabtai, a coding enthusiast, had an immediate reaction to reinvent. Shabtai’s solution? To build an app. With 50 million monthly active users globally and nearly 400,000 superusers who function much like Wikipedia volunteer editors(editing maps rather than words), Waze Mobile caught the eye of Google as a revolutionary approach to navigation (导航).Acquired by Google in 2013, Waze’s value mainly lies in its high rate of user involvement. Unlike traditional navigation apps that simply show directions, Waze asks its users to report accidents and other road conditions in real time, so other users can avoid the traffic by using an alternative route.The goal behind Waze’s approach is an ambitious one: not just avoid traffic, but end it altogether. Waze is finding new ways to put its loyal and active user base to use to make that vision a reality, including a plan to make carpooling(拼车) cool.To be sure, traffic jams are troubling people all over the world. Waze has been quietly ahead of the game for some time. In 2013, when Waze was just a small digital-mapping business with limited resources, it had something Google Maps and other competitors didn’t: richer GPS guidance thanks to its stream of live traffic reports from users.These users were the basis of Shabtai’s plan to solve for his GPS device’s “silent” hardware: he grounded the app in software that could be perpetually updated by users, anywhere and anytime.Waze Carpool is going straight to the heart of traffic jams, trying to get more drivers off the road and into carpools. The app has already connected tens of thousands of rideseekers with drivers willing to ferry them along a shared route, and that trend could be the answer to a traffic-free future.32. What did Shabta i do when he found his girlfriend’s gift out of date?A. He improved it.B. He took it apart.C. He put it away .D. He used it anyway.33. what sets Waze Mobile apart from traditional navigation apps?A. It has the most users.B. It can indicate directions.C. It reports road conditions in real time.D. Most users help edit its words.34. What does the underlined word in paragraph 6 probably mean?A. DifficultlyB. CarefullyC. GreatlyD. Constantly35. What is mainly talked about in the text?A. The rise of carpoolingB. An advanced navigation app.C. The development of Google.D. Traffic problems in the world.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。
