Suddenly a crow (乌鸦) perched on the tree near their window. The father asked his son, “What is this?” The son replied, “It is a crow.” After a few minutes, the father asked his son the second time, “What is this?” The son said, “Father, I have just now told you ‘It’s a crow’.” After a little while, the old father again asked his son the third time, “What is this?” “It’s a crow, a crow, a crow.” said the son loudly. A little after, the father again asked his son the fourth time, “What is this?” This time the son shouted at his father, “Why do you keep asking me the same question again and again? ‘IT IS A CROW’. Are you not able to understand this? ‎ A little later the father went to his room and came back with an old diary, which he had kept since his son was born. On opening a page, he asked his son to read that page. When the son read it, the following words were written in the diary:‎ ‎“Today my little son aged three was sitting with me on the sofa, when a crow was there on ‎ the window. My son asked me 23 times what it was, and I replied to him all 23 times that it was a crow. I hugged him lovingly each time he asked me the same question again and again for 23 times. I did not at all feel annoyed; I rather felt affection for my innocent child.”‎ ‎41. What does the underlined word “perched” mean in the passage?‎ A. dropped B. struck C. rested D. knocked ‎42.

The writer mainly intends to .‎ A. tell us the function of a diary B. teach us what a crow is C. call on us to love our parents D. introduce a pair of son and father C You have probably heard of the Mozart effect. It’s the idea that if children or even babies listen to music composed by Mozart, they will become more intelligent. A quick Internet search reveals plenty of products to assist you in the task. Whatever your age there are CDs and books to help you taste the power of Mozart’s music, but when it comes to scientific evidence that it can make you more clever, the picture is more mixed.‎ The phrase “the Mozart effect” was made up in 1991，but it was a study described two years later in the journal Nature that sparked (激发) real media and public interest about the idea that listening to classical music somehow improves the brain, k is one of those ideas that sound reasonable. Mozart was undoubtedly a genius himself; his music is complex and there is a hope that if we listen to enough of it, we’ll become more intelligent.‎ The idea took off, with thousands of parents playing Mozart to their children, and in 1998 Zell Miller, the Governor of the state of Georgia in the US, even asked for money to be set aside ‎ in the state budget so that every newborn baby could be sent a CD of classical music. It was not just babies and children who were exposed to Mozart’s music on purpose， even an Italian farmer proudly explained that the cows were played Mozart three times a day to help them to produce better milk.‎ I’ll leave the debate on the impact on milk yield to farmers, but what about the evidence that listening to Mozart makes people more intelligent? More research was carried out but an analysis of sixteen different studies confirmed that listening to music does lead to a temporary improvement in the ability to handle shapes mentally, but the benefits ^ short-lived and it doesn’t make us more intelligent.‎ ‎46. What can we learn from Paragraph 1?‎ A. Mozart composed many musical pieces for children.‎ B. There is little scientific evidence to support Mozart effect.‎ C. There are few products on the Internet about Mozart’s music.‎ D. Children listening to Mozart will be more intelligent.‎ ‎47. Why did many people believe in the idea of Mozart Effect?‎ A. Because a study described it in the journal Nature.‎ B. Because Mozart himself was a genius.‎ C. Because Mozart’s music is enjoyable.‎ D. Because Mozart’s music makes people relaxed.‎ ‎48. The underlined sentence in Paragraph 3 suggests that _____‎ A. people were strongly against the idea B. the US government helped promote the idea C. Mozart played an important part in people’s life D. the idea was accepted by many people ‎49. What is the author’s attitude towards the Mozart effect?‎ A. Doubtful. B. Supportive. C. Favorable. D. Positive.‎ ‎50. What would be the best title for the passage?‎ A. What is the Mozart effect?‎ B. What music is beneficial?‎ C. Listening to Mozart, necessary?‎ D. To or not to be?‎ D Researchers at the University of Kansas say that people can accurately judge 90 percent of a stranger’s personality simply by looking at the person’s shoes. “Shoes convey useful information about their wearers,” the authors wrote in the new study published in the Journal of Research in Personality.‎ Lead researcher Omri Gillath said the judgments were based on the style, cost, color and condition of someone’s shoes. In the study, 63 University of Kansas researchers looked at pictures showing 208 different pairs of shoes worn by the study’s participants. Volunteers in the study were photographed in their most commonly worn shoes, and then filled out a personality questionnaire.‎ Some of the results were expected: People with higher incomes most commonly wore expensive shoes, and flashier shoes were typically worn by outgoing people. However, some of the more specific results are strange enough. For example, “practical and functional” shoes were generally worn by more “pleasant” people, while ankle boots were more .linked with “aggressive” personalities. The strangest of all may be that those who wore “uncomfortable looking” shoes tend to have “calm” personalities. And if you have several pairs of new shoes or take extreme care of them, you may suffer from “attachment anxiety”, spending lots of time worrying about what other people think of your appearance. There was even a political calculation in the mix with more liberal(主张变革的)types wearing “shabbier and less expensive” shoes.‎ The researchers noted that some people would choose shoe styles to mask their actual personalities, but researchers noted that volunteers were also likely to be unaware that their footwear choices were showing the deep side of their personalities.‎ ‎51. What does this text mainly tell us?‎ A. Shoes can hide people’s real personalities.‎ B. Shoes convey false information about the wearer.‎ C. People’s personalities can be judged by their shoes.‎ D. People know little about their personalities.‎ ‎52. The participants were asked to .‎ A. provide pictures of their shoes B. look at pictures of different shoes C. design a personality questionnaire D. hand in their commonly worn shoes ‎53. Which of the results is beyond people’s expectation?‎ A. Wealthy people often wear expensive shoes.‎ B. Pleasant people like wearing uncomfortable shoes.‎ C. Aggressive people are likely to wear ankle boots.‎ D. Flashier shoes are typically worn by outgoing people.‎ ‎54. People suffering from “attachment anxiety” tend to .‎ A. wear strange shoes B. worry about their appearance C. have a calm character D. become a political leader ‎55. The author wrote the text in order to .‎ A. inform us of a new study B. introduce a research method C. teach how to choose shoes D. describe different personalities 第Ⅱ卷 注意事项：1.用黑色墨水的钢笔或签字笔将答案写在答题卡上。‎ ‎2.本卷共6题，共35分。‎ 第三部分 写作 第一节阅读下面短文，按照要求用英语回答问题。(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）‎ Many seniors feel pressured to go straight from high school to college-but Camden Olson, who graduated from Latin School of Chicago in the US last year, didn’t give in. She decided to spend a gap year raising a guide dog for Guiding Eyes for the Blind in Maine.‎ The nonprofit provides trained guide dogs to blind and visually impaired people. “I can say I’m living the dream,” Olson said. “This is something I’ve always wanted to do.”‎ Taking a year off before college, commonly known as a gap year, is becoming more and more popular among American teenagers. According to a survey by the American Gap Association, enrollment (注册) in these programs grew 27 percent between 2012 and 2013. Some students use the year off to figure out what they want to do, travel the world, or save money for college.‎ Olson is using her time to pursue a passion she’s had since 7th grade. For years, she kept an eye on guide dog services until she came across the opportunity at Guiding Eyes. With support ‎ from her friends, family and teachers, Olson went for it.‎ Olson’s volunteer work centers around Derby, a one-year-old black dog. “My job is to raise him to be well-mannered and socialized,” she said. “Guide dogs have to ignore any distractions. They go everywhere with their visually impaired handler. They give a blind person a lot of independence and emotional support, too.”‎ Of course, there’s an end in sight for Derby and Olson’s close bond. When Derby celebrates his own graduation, Olson will have to say goodbye to him. “No doubt there will be tears, but, assuming he passes, I will be so happy for him to become a working dog,” she said.‎ While some look at gap years in a negative light, Olson said she’s seen major success. In fact, she’ll be attending Princeton University this fall and is thinking about majoring in ecology and biology. “I think I’m already so much more mature than I was and aware of what really matters,” she said. “So many kids do come back from gap years a lot more focused and prepared.”‎ ‎56. What is the meaning of the underlined phrase “gap year” in Paragraph 1? (No more than 6 words)‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎57. Why did Camden Olson decide to spend her gap year working for Guiding Eyes?
