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.

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.

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.

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.

Choose the best answer (根据以下内容，选择最恰当的答案) (12分)In English, when someone is very angry we say this person “sees red”, just as a bull goes wild after seeing a red cloth. 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.

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.

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.

It was the manager who would make the final decision.The manager discovered that the young man did an excellent job in his college, which aroused the manager’s curiosity (好奇).The manager asked, “Who paid for your college?”The young man answered, “My father passed away when I was one year old, so it was just my mother.”“What did your mother do?” The manager seemed surprised.“She is a clothes cleaner,” the young man answered, with no emotion.“Have you ever helped your mother wash some clothes before?”“Never. 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.

Choose the best answer (根据以下内容，选择最恰当的答案) (12分)In English, when someone is very angry we say this person “sees red”, just as a bull goes wild after seeing a red cloth. 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.
