It was a cold day in January. Heplayed six Bach(巴赫) pieces for about 45 minutes. It was rushhour and thousands of people went through the station, most ofthem on their way to work.Three minutes went by and the first person, a middle-agedman, noticed there was a musician playing. He slowed down andstopped for a few seconds and then hurried up to meet his schedule.After a minute, the violinist received his first dollar tip: a young woman threw the money in the box and continued to walk. Then another few minutes went by and someone stood against the wall to listen to him, but the young man looked at his watch and started to walk again. Clearly he was late for work.During the musician’s performance, only six people stopped and stayed for a while, twenty gave him money but continued to walk. When he finished playing, no one applauded(鼓掌). No one knew the violinist was Joshua Bell, one of the best musicians in the world.This is a real story. Joshua Bell playing in the underground station was organized by The Washington Post (《华盛顿邮报》) as part of a social experiment. One of the conclusions from this experiment could be: If we do not have a moment to stop and listen to one of the best musicians in the world playing the best music, how many other things are we missing?69.

Choose the best answer (根据短文内容，选择最恰当的答案) (12分)When taking an elevator, do you often push the “close” button? You hope by pushing it, the elevator door will close faster. But what if the button is actually fake (假的)?Karen Penafiel is the executive director (执行董事) of the US National Elevator Industry. She said that elevators’ “close” buttons are a complete trick, at least in the US, and that doors will not close any faster no matter how hard you push.In the 1990s the Americans with Disabilities Act (《美国残疾人法案》) was passed in the US. It means all elevators have to stay open long enough to allow disabled (残疾的) people to enter. Only US firefighters and elevator workers can really use the buttons with special keys.But the buttons aren’t completely useless. According to psychologists (心理学家), fake buttons can make you feel better. They give you a sense of control that can help reduce stress. That’s why some other buttons in our lives are fake, too.For example, many offices in the US have fake thermostats (温控器). People may feel better when they think they can control the temperature in their workspace.You were told that traffic light buttons could help make the traffic signals change faster. But they may not really work either.However, even when people know these little “white lies”, they still push fake buttons. As long as the doors finally close, it seems worthy.John Kounios is a psychology professor at Drexel University in the US. He told The New York Times that he always pushes the traffic light buttons. “After all, I’ve got nothing else to do while waiting. So why not push the button on the off chance that this one will work?”69. If you push the “close” button in the US, the elevator door will ________.A) close immediately B) not be completely openC) play a trick on you D) not close as fast as you wish70. In the US, in order for disabled people to go in safely, ________. A) elevator workers will press the “open” button for them B) they will be given a special key to use in the elevators C) all elevators are designed to open long enough D) no “close” button is fixed on the elevators 71. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as fake? A) Thermostat buttons. B) Elevator buttons. C) Traffic light buttons. D) Power buttons. 72. There are quite a few fake buttons in our lives because they can ________.A) control people’s senses B) help people feel better C) control the temperature D) tell “white lies” 73. The underlined words “on the off chance ” in the last paragraph most probably mean “_____”. A) with the little hopeB) without any plan C) with a great opportunity D) without any possibility 74. The best title for the passage is ________. A) Button pushing societyB) Useless buttons C) Buttons for disabled peopleD) Fake elevator buttons(4) 徐汇A.

It means you do ahelpful or kind act for someone who has done something good for you.Denson is a mechanic（机修工）, but he lost his job a few months ago. He iskind and helpful, but always feared applying for a new job.One day, he gathered up all his strength and decided to attend a job interview.His appointment was at 10 a.m. and it was already 8:30. While waiting for a bus to the office where he was supposed to be interviewed, he saw an elderly man wildly kicking the tyre (轮胎) of his car. Obviously (很显然) there was something wrong with the car. Denson immediately went up to lend him a hand. When Denson finished working on the car, the old man asked him how much he should pay for the service. Denson said there was no need to pay him and he just helped someone in need, and he had to rush for an interview. Then the old man said, “Well, I could take you to the office for your interview. It's the least I could do. Please, I insist.” Denson agreed.On arrival, Denson found a long line of applicants （求职人）waiting to be interviewed. Denson still had some grease (油脂) on him after the car repair, but he did not have much time to wash it off or have a change of shirt. One by one, the applicants left the interviewer's office withdisappointed looks on their faces. Finally his name was called. The interviewer was sitting on a large chair facing the office window. Rocking the chair back and forth, he asked, “Do you really need to be interviewed?” Denson's heart sank. “With the way I look now, how could I possibly pass this interview?” he thought to himself. Then the interviewer turned the chair and to Denson's surprise, it was the old man he helped earlier in the morning. It turned out he was the General Manager of the company. “Sorry I had to keep you waiting, but I was pretty sure I made the right decision to have you as a member of the company before you even stepped into the office. I just know you'd be a trustworthy (值得信赖的) worker. Congratulations！”Denson sat down and they shared a cup of coffee as he landed himself a new job.69.

My mother always wanted me to study and read more books. She can wash clothes faster than me,” the young man seemed puzzled when answering.“Well, now I have a request. When you go back home today, clean your mother’s hands and see me tomorrow.”The young man was happy when hearing this because he felt that his chance of getting the job was great. When he went home, he happily asked his mother to let him clean her hands. His mother felt strange but happy. With mixed feelings, she showed her hands.The young man cleaned his mother’s hands, with tears falling. It was the first time he noticed that his mother’s hands were so wrinkled(有皱纹的), and there were so many bruises(伤痕). This pair of hands enabled him to go through college. This pair of hands was the price that his mother had to pay for his life and his future.The next morning, the manager asked the young man, “Now tell me what you have learned yesterday.”After hearing what the young man said, the manager knew the young man had learned his lesson. “This is the man whom I am looking for.

Now it turns out that “seeing red” is not just anexpression for any people, but also a scientific fact.Researchers at North Dakota State University in the US found thatthere is a connection between the color red and anger. Angry people really do“see red” where others don’t. And a preference for red over blue may evensuggest a more hostile personality.The study includes a number of experiments. In the first, researchersasked a group of people which color they preferred, red or blue. Participants（参加者）then did personality tests. Results showed that those who chose red tended to be more hostile.During a second test, participants looked at faded images that could be regarded either red or blue. Those who saw red scored 25 percent higher on hostility in the personality test.“Hostile people have hostile thoughts; hostile thoughts are connected with the color red, and therefore hostile people see this color more frequently.” the researchers told The Independent.Finally, the participants were told about imaginary situations in which they could take different actions. Results showed that in these situations, red-preferring people were more likely to show that they would harm another person than those who preferred blue.“An important message from this research is that color can send psychological（心理的）meaning,” the researchers said.Where does this connection between the color red and anger come from? Scientists said it might be a matter of evolution（进化）. In ancient times, poisonous plants and insects could cause wounds and bleeding. So it may have become instinctive（本能的）for people to link color red with danger and threats.69. “Seeing red” is not just an expression for angry people, but also a_______.A) legend story B) funny jokeC) scientific fact D) useful suggestion70. The underlined word “hostile” in the second paragraph means ________.A) unfriendly B) popularC) upset D) cheerful71. During a second test, those who saw red scored 25 percent ________ on hostility in thepersonality test.A) lower B) higher C) more D) less72. In the final test, the participants were told about _______ in which they could take differentactions.A) faded images B) the true informationC) the same experience D) imaginary situations73. Which of the following is NOT true about the study?A) Participants did personality tests in the study.B) Participants took three tests in the study.C) Participants were tested on seven different colors.D) Blue-preferring people were less likely to harm others.74. What does the last paragraph mainly talk about?A) It tells us scientists’ new findings.B) It explains why red is connected to anger.C) It tells us the importance if evolution.D) It shows us the poor living conditions of ancient people.(9) 虹口A.

Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A. B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)FrankensteinFrankenstein was a book by Mary Shelly ----its been adapted for the screen dozens of times. The story ofFrankenstein is told through a series of letters written by Captain Robert Walton to his sister , as he leads an expedition （长征）to the North Pole . On the way , he meets Victor Frankenstein , who tells Walton the story of his life. Frankenstein is the surname of the guy who creates the monster . The monster doesn’t actually have a game . Anyway , Victor is a scientist who’s desperate to discover the secret of life . After years of study , he makes an enormous creature out of human remains and brings it to life . Victor intends it to be beautiful . Unfortunately , the creature turns out really hideous , and Victor runs away in terror . Although the monster is good and kind , humans are scared of it . When they mistreat it , the monster becomes angry and evil . Wanting revenge on its creator , the monster murders Dr. Frankenstein’ brother , his wife , and his best friend . When Victor figures out the monster is behind all the deaths , he swears to track it down and kill it . This book was written in 1816, right after a period called the Enlightenment . The Enlightenment emphasized the pursuit of knowledge and reason , and gave rise to the scientific method . Mary Shelley criticized the Enlightenment through the character of Victor Frankenstein , “ He is a negative example of an Enlightenment scientist -------he pursues knowledge at any cost , and his obsession with discovering the secret of life destroys him , as well as his friends and family .” Some Enlightenment thinkers might have seen such a loss as necessary for the advancement of science , but not Mary Shelley . She and her husband , poet Percy Shelly , were part of the Romantic Movement in art and literature . Romanticism was a reaction against the Enlightenment embrace of rationality and reason . The Romantics emphasized emotion over rationality , and thought people should feel awe and terror in regard to nature . Frankenstein incorporates all these ideas. To Shelley , Frankenstein doesn’t fear and respect the world of nature enough ------she says that by tempering with nature , he brings about complete disaster . Frankenstein is not just a great Romantic novel . Its also considered one of the first major works of science fiction . It influences a whole generation of writers , and the monster has become one of the most recognizable figures in Western culture.56.

The Romantic era occurred during the 20th century ; the Enlightenment occurred during the 19th century .C.The Romantic era emphasized poetry ; the Enlightenment emphasized prose .D.The Romantic era saw major scientific discoveries ; the Enlightenment was an era of literary discovery .59.

M. Blume , a New York writer keeps her phone away from the dinner table at home .” The expectation that we must always be available to employers ,colleague, family : It creates a real obstacle in trying to set aside private time . But that private time is more important than ever. “ Much o f the digital detoxing （戒毒）is centered on the home , where urgent e-mails from co-workers , texts from friends , Instagram photos from acquaintances and updates on Facebook get together to disturb domestic quietness. A popular method is to appoint a kind of cellphone lockbox , like the milk tin that Brandon Holley , the former editor of lucky magazine , uses. “ If my phones is buzzing or lighting up , its still a distraction , so it goes in the box . “, said Ms. Holley , who lives in a row house in Red Hook , Brooklyn , with her son ,Smith , and husband , John .” Its not something I want my kid to see.” Sleep is a big factor , which is why some people draw the cellphone-free line at the bedroom.” I don’t want to sleep next to something that is a charged ball of information with photos an e-mails ,” said Peter Som , the fashion designer , who keeps his phone plugged in the living room overnight .” “It definitely is a head clearer and describes daytime and sleep time clearly .”Households with young children are especially mindful about being overconnected , with parents sensitive to how children may imitate bad habits . But its not just inside the home where users are separating themselves from the habit . Cellphone overusers are making efforts to disconnect in social settings ,whetherway for friends to police against rude behavior when eating out . The game gained popularity after Brian Perez, a dancer in Los Angeles , posted the idea online.63.What might be the reason for Michael Carl to play the “ phone stack” game?A.His friends arent willing to pay for the meal voluntarily .B.B.

Because digital devices can enrich peoples family life.65. What does Peter Som do to ensure his sleeping quality at night ?A. He puts his phone in the living room .B.

The game meets peoples demand for keeping away from phones easily“Any apple today ?”, Effie asked cheerfully at my window ,. I followed her to he r truck and bought a kilo . On credit , of course . Cash was the one thing in the world I lacked just them . All pretense （借口）of payment was drooped when our funds , food and fuel decreased to alarming lows. Effie came often , always bringing some gift: a jar of peaches or some firewood . There were other generosities.___________ Effie was not a rich woman . Her income , derived from investment she had made while running an interior decorating shop , had never exceeded $200 a month , which she supplemented by selling her apples .But she always managed to help someone poorer . Years passed before I was able to return the money Effie had given me from time to time . She was ill now and had aged rapidly in the last year .” Here , darling , “ I said , “ is what I owe you ,” _____________” Give it back as I gave it to you -----a little at a time.” “ I think she believed there was magic in the slow discharge of a love debt. The simple fact is that I never repaid the whole amount to Effie , for she died a few weeks later . By now , the few dollars Effie gave me have been multiplied many times . But a curious thing began to happen . ___________At that time , itseemed that my debt would forever go unsettled . So the account can never be marked closed , for Effies love will go on in hearts that have never known her .IV. Summary Writing Directions:Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.Chaco Great House As early as the twelfth century A.D., the settlements of Chaco Canyon in New Mexico in the American Southwest were notable for their "great houses," massive stone buildings that contain hundreds of rooms and often stand three or four stories high. Archaeologists have been trying to determine how the buildings were used. While there is still no universally agreed upon explanation, there are three competing theories.One theory holds that the Chaco structures were purely residential, with each housing hundreds of people. Supporters of this theory have interpreted Chaco great houses as earlier versions of the architecture seen in more recent Southwest societies. In particular, the Chaco houses appear strikingly similar to the large, well-known "apartment buildings" at Taos, New Mexico, in which many people have been living for centuries.A second theory contends that the Chaco structures were usedto store food supplies. One of the main crops of the Chaco people was grain maize, which could be stored for long periods of time without spoiling and could serve as a long-lasting supply of food. The supplies of maize had to be stored somewhere, and the size of the great houses would make them very suitable for the purpose.A third theory proposes that houses were used as ceremonial centers. Close to one house, called Pueblo Alto, archaeologists identified an enormous mound formed by a pile of old material. Excavations of the mound revealed deposits containing a surprisingly large number of broken pots. This finding has been interpreted as evidence that people gathered at Pueblo Alto for special ceremonies. At the ceremonies, they ate festive meals and then discarded the pots in which the meals had been prepared or served. Such ceremonies have been documented for other Native American cultures.V.

What if someone bumps into the drone or is standing in its way? “There’s no chance at all 22 it will hit anything,” says Infinium Robotics chief executive Junyang Woon.The drones automatically charge while 23 (wait) in the kitchen. 24 the chef puts an order on the drone, he hits a button on a keypad and the drone automatically flies to one of two wait stations. Sense-and-avoid technology 25 (build) into the drone won’t allow it to land at the wait station if anything is in its way. The drones are equipped with sonar (声纳系统) and an infrared sensor (红外线传感器), too.A waiter then removes the food or drink from the drone and hits a button 26 sends it back to the kitchen. The drones, weighing a little over five pounds, 27 carry just over four pounds of food. Infinium Robotics is working on a model that will carry twice as 28 (much) food.“Its job is to help the waiters to reduce some of their boring tasks, ” Woon said. “If they let the robots 29 (do) the job, they can concentrate on interacting with customers to bring about higher customer satisfaction an d dining experience.”Since it drew recent media attention, Woon 30 (hear) from resorts and restaurants in 10 countries, including the United States.虹口区Loss of Biodiversity (生物多样性) Affects Human Society If a species of bee disappears forever or a particular plant is extinct, what does it have to do with us humans?

Ecosystems are all different but this percentage is considered as a good measure of safety.A study published in the magazine Science suggests that 58% of the world’s land surface (26) ______ (reduce) below this level already. These areas house 71% of the global population. Professor Andy Purvis, from Imperial College London and the Natural History Museum, is one of the authors of the study. He says, “Once we’re the wrong side of the boundary, (27) ______ doesn’t mean everything goes wrong immediately, but there is a remarkable higher risk (28) ______ things will go badly wrong.”The researchers found that grasslands, savannas and shrub lands were most affected bybiodiversity loss on average.

上海市各区2017年高考二模语文试卷分类汇编_现代文阅读二
上海市各区2017年高考二模语文试卷分类汇编：现代文阅读二宝山（青浦）区（二）阅读下文，完成第9-12题。
（15分）野草的呼吸迟子建①去年三月，雪花还未从北方收脚，寒流仍环绕冰城、不识相地穿街走巷时，盼春心切的我，一头扎进哈尔滨城郊的室内花卉市场，在姹紫嫣红的花中，选购了几盆色彩艳丽的四季海棠，抱回家中。
②这一簇簇的海棠花儿，在窗前，在桌畔，就像迎春的爆竹，等待点燃。
而悄无声息燃响它们的，就是阳光了。
在最初的一周，它们在日光中心思透明地大炫姿容，开得火爆。
粉色的比朝霞还要明媚，鹅黄的娇嫩得赛过柳芽，橘色的仿佛通身流着蜜，火红的透着葡萄酒般的醇香，让人有啜饮的欲望。
③居室春意盈盈，叫人愉悦。
每日晨起，我都做早课似的，先赏花儿。
我喝一杯凉白开，也给它们灌上一点生水。
也许是浇水频繁的缘故吧，十多天后，我发现粉色的四季海棠首先烂了根，花儿做了噩梦似的，花瓣边缘浮现出黑边，像是生了黑眼圈。
鹅黄的四季海棠叶片萎靡，花朵也蔫了。
我以为它们缺乏营养，于是又浇花卉营养液。
可不管我怎样挽留，四季海棠去意已定，没有一盆不烂根的了，花茎接二连三倒伏，那一团团花朵，自绝于青春似的，香销玉殒。
我只得清理了残花败叶，沮丧地将花盆摞起，扔在阳台一角。
④时隔多日，暮春时分，一个午后，我去阳台晒衣服，无意间低头，发现这摞花盆的最上一盆，有银线似的东西在闪光。
我凑近一看，原来是一棵细若游丝的草，从干硬的土里飞．出来了!它已生长了一段时日了吧，有半根筷子长了。
因为是在板结如水泥般的土里顽强钻出来的，缺光少水，它看上去病恹恹的，单细不说，草色也极为黯淡。
⑤我想一棵草再折腾，也开不出花儿来，所以感慨一番，浇了点水，算是善待了它，由它去了。
⑥那期间我忙于装修新居，忙于外出开会，在家时虽也去阳台舀米取面，晾衣晒被，但哪会顾及一棵草的命运呢。
它就在无人的角落中，挣扎着活。
直到七月下旬我参加香港书展归来，打扫阳台时，才发现它已成了气候。
盆中的野草不是一棵，而是七八棵了，它们相互搀扶着，努力向上，疏朗有致，绿意荡漾。

Almost every woman likes going shopping． Personally speaking，I enjoy shopping in the U．K．，even if it's just window shopping． The sales service is the key reason why I like shopping in the U．K．much more than shopping in China． Every brand has its own official website where customers can see products and order directly online， so the products can be sent home directly． As for those who enjoy shopping in real stores，shopping experiences are rather free and open． Different from that in China， most stores do not provide personal shop assistants unless you ask one of the staff about a specific question． It is never necessary to tell ________to leave you alone． I especially like this kind of free atmosphere in which I can walk slowly， pick whatever I want and decide which is to take without any personal suggestions from shop assistants． Although sometimes， store staff help customers to fetch shoes or clothes of a specific size or color，they never exaggerate （夸大）their opinions on it，as their task is to provide service but not to provide comments． Besides， each brand has a refund policy （退款政策）．The policy may vary from one another， but a cooling﹣off period of 14to 28days is provided for customers to think twice about whether they really want the products they bought． Within the cooling﹣off period，customers can easily get full refund or exchange if they can provide a valid receipt （有效发票）and unused products with all the tags． It encourages customers to buy products more often and increases sales．As for customers，it is also good，for people can have a chance to get back their money which was spent on unwanted clothes．The U．K．is a modern country with traditions．While it says yes to the fast pace of modern fashion industry，it alsoprovides________ for its tourists and customers． It fully deserves the title of "Shopping Paradise"．（1）What is the most important reason why the writer likes shopping in the U．K．？________（2）In the writer's opinion， why are shopping experiences free and open in the U．K．？________（3）What does the underlined word "them" refer to？It refers to________（4）Do store staff usually help customers fetch things or give comments in the U．K．？________（5）How can customers get a full refund or exchange？________（6）What can be filled in the blank in the last paragraph？It also provides________．VII.Writing （共 20 分）42.

Alisa sufferedsome terrible illness in her early childhood. Afteryears of regular treatment, she (75) becamehealthy.Two years ago, while Alisa was watching the Olympics, a dream came into her sweet little head—to be a swimmer.Last summer, she wanted to join our local swim team. She practicedhard and finally made it. The team practice, (76) , was a hardstart. She coughed and could hardly survive(幸存) her first few weeks. Hearing her coughing bitterly one night, I decided to pull her fromit all. But Alisa woke me up early next morning, wearing her swimsuit ready to go! I told her she shouldn’t swim after a whole night’s coughing, but she refused to (77) and insisted she should go.From that day on, Alisa kept swimming and didn’t miss a single practice. She had a firm(坚定地) intention within herself to be thebest she could be. My ten-year-old daughter was growing and changing right before my eyes, into this: determined human being with apassion and a mission. It was difficult for Alisa to accept that she wasn’t a (78) . But that didn’t stop her from trying.Then came the final awards ceremony at the end of the year. Alisa didn’t expect any award but was still there to cheer on her friends.As the ceremony was nearing the end, I suddenly heard the head coach (79) , “The highest honor goes to Alisa!” L ooking around, he continued, “We all encouraged by her will and enthusiasm(热情).

Nowthat you have all these hints (提示), can you tellwhat it is? The answer is a “crossword puzzle (纵横字谜)”.You may not be familiar with it, but the game is certainly p （81） in the US. First invented in 1913 by a newspaper journalist named Arthur Wynne, crossword puzzles soon became part of the country’s well-known culture. Books and video games were made about crossword puzzles. D （82） were even put on trains for players to look up the words. And over 100 years later, crossword puzzles are still loved by American people.At the end of last month, The New York Times published its l （83） puzzle in its history: a 50×50 square with 728 hints that was five times the size of the newspaper’s usual puzzles. It may take even skilled puzzle solvers days to finish it.This kind of love for a game may be hard to understand, but Merl Reagle, one of the most famous crossword creators in the US, explained it. “Crosswords are a dream e （84）that no one’s been able to take,” he once told The Washington Post. “The human mind wants a hint.”Hints are the most important part of a puzzle. They lead you r （85） to the words. In a basic Christmas-themed puzzle, for example, one of the hints could be, “Santa fills it with presentsfor the children.” The word here is “stocking”. There can be difficult cultural questions about subjects like Native American history. In order to c （86） the puzzles, you have to befamiliar with the names of places, people, foods and even farming tools. But the puzzle is not just there to frighten players withhard-to-get hints and difficult words. It’s a game after all, so fun comes first.“You want to come up with an idea that’s fresh and interesting. And then you want to fill the crossword with as many good, lively, colorful words as you can,” Will Shortz, the crossword puzzle editor for The New York Times, told Business Insider.This is why crossword puzzles are not meant to be finished in a rush. “I put a lot of work into these jokes in the puzzle.

The 75 —over a fork, or who had more water in a glass — never stopped.Like a magician (魔术师) who makes a group of children quiet by pulling a rabbit out of a hat, my sister reached into her purse and took out two shiny Apple iPads, handing one to each child.
