Over the next few weeks, as he learned t o control his anger, the number of nails hammered each day gradually reduced.

Your doctor takes a prescription pad(药方) and writes a word on it. The word isn’t “aspirin”, it’s “Mozart”.The idea isn’t so far-fetched. Many kinds of music can stir(激发) the imagination and 75__ strong feelings. Scientists have found Mozart’s music to be excellent in its ability to calm its listeners.Many cases have been known using Mozart as a healing aid(治疗手段). 76 , a tiny newly-born baby Krissy, who weighed just 1.5pounds at birth, was on total life support. Doctors thought she had littlechance of survival(幸存). However, her mother kept on playing Mozart forKrissy, and thought it could save her daughter’s life. At last Krissy lived,but she was very small for her 77 and slower than the averagechild. At four, she was fond of music and her parents gave her violin lessons.To their great surprise, Krissy was able to play musical pieces from memory, which was far beyond the ability of an average four-year-old. Playing music 78 ___ her to improve in all areas of her life.And there are other stories. Officials in Washington State report that new arrivals from Asia learn English more 79 when they listen to Mozart. Even animals respond to Mozart. InFrance, cows listening to Mozart give more milk.Why do people choose Mozart, rather than Bach or the Beatles? Any kind of music can have an effect on some people. But Mozart has more 80 . It isn’t too fast or too slow; it’s just right. Don Campbell, who wrote a book called The Mozart Effect, says, “It’s like food. A hot spicy meal will affect you more differently than a sweet dessert. And while you might love these foods, they aren’t good for you to eat every day. You need simple, nutritious(营养的) food on a steady basis. That’s the way Mozart is.

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.

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.

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.
