UNESCO( United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization) recently set April 30 as a day to raise awareness of jazz music, its significance, and its potential as a unifying(联合) voice across cultures.Despite the celebrations, though, in the U.S. the jazz audience continues to shrink and grow older, and the music has failed to connect with younger generations.It’s Jason Moran’s job to help change that. As the Kennedy Center’s artistic adviser for jazz, Moran hopes to widen the audience for jazz, make the music more accessible, and preserve its history and culture.“Jazz seems like it’s not really a part of the American appetite,” Moran tells National Public Radio’s reporter Neal Conan. “What I’m hoping to accomplish is that mu generation and younger start to reconsider and understand that jazz is not black and write anymore. It’s actually color, and it’s actually digital.”Moran says one of the problems with jazz today is that the entertainment aspect of the music has been lost. “The music can’t be presented today the way it was in 1908 or 1958. It has to continue to move, because the way the world works is not the same,” says Moran.Last year, Moran worked on a project that arranged Fats Waller’s music for a dance party, “Just to kind of put it back in the mind that Waller is dance music as much as it is concert music,” says Moran. “For me, it’s the recontextualization. In music, where does the emotion(情感) lie? Are we, as abstract as a Charlie Parker record gets us into a dialogue about our emotions and our thoughts? Sometimes we lose sight that the music has a wider context,” says Moran, “So I want to continue those dialogue. Those are the things I want to foster.”4．Why did UNESCO set April 30 as International Jazz Day?A．To remember the birth of jazz.       B．To protect cultural diversity.C．To encourage people to study music.  D．To recognize the value of jazz.5．What does the underlined word “that” in Paragraph 3 refer to?A．Jazz becoming more accessible.  B．The production of jazz growing faster.C．Jazz being less popular with the young.  D．The jazz audience becoming larger. 6．What can we infer about Moran’s opinion on jazz?A．It will disappear gradually.       B．It remains black and white.C．It should keep up with the times.  D．It changes every 50 years.7．Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A．Exploring the Future of jazz.    B．The Rise and Fall of jazz.C．The Story of a jazz Musician.    D．Celebrating the Jazz Day.                                C  I work with Volunteers for Wildlife, a rescue and education organization at Bailey Arboretum in Locust Valley. Trying to help injured, displaced or sick creatures can be heartbreaking; survival is never certain. However, when it works, it is simply beautiful. I got a rescue call from a woman in Muttontown. She had found a young owl(猫头鹰) on the ground. When I arrived, I saw a 2-to 3-week-old owl. It had already .been placed in a carrier for safety. I examined the chick(雏鸟) and it seemed fine. If I could locate the nest, I might have been able to put it back, but no luck. My next work was to construct a nest and anchor it in a tree. The homeowner was very helpful. A wire basket was found. I put some pine branches into the basket to make this nest safe and comfortable. I placed the chick in the nest, and it quickly calmed down. Now all that was needed were the parents, but they were absent. I gave the homeowner a recording of the hunger screams of owl chicks. These advertise the presence of chicks to adults; they might also encourage our chick to start calling as well. I gave the owner as much information as possible and headed home to see what news the night might bring. A nervous night to be sure, but sometimes the spirits of nature smile on us all! The homeowner called to say that the parents had responded to the recordings. I drove over and saw the chick in the nest looking healthy and active. And it was accompanied in the nest by the greatest sight of all — LUNCH！The parents had done their duty and would probably continue to do so.8. What is unavoidable in the author’s rescue work according ro paragraph 1?
A. Efforts made in vain.           B. Getting injured in his work.C.Feeling uncertain about his future.D.Creatures forced out of their homes.
9. Why was the author called to Muttontown?
A. To rescue a woman.    B. To take care of a woman.C. To look at a baby owl.  D. To cure a young owl.
10..What made the chick calm down?
A.A new nest.   B.Some food.  C.A recording.   D.Its parents.
11..How would the author feel about the outcome of the event?
A.It’s unexpected. B. It’s beautiful. C. It’s humorous.  D. It’s discouraging.   D     Many of us love July because it’s the month when nature’s berries and stone fruits are in abundance. These colorful and sweet jewels from British Columbia’s fields are little powerhouses of nutritional protection.Of the common berries, strawberries are highest in vitamin C, although, because of their seeds, raspberries contain a little more protein(蛋白质), iron and zinc (not that fruits have much protein). Blueberries are particularly high in antioxidants (抗氧化物质). The yellow and orange stone fruits such as peaches are high in the carotenoids we turn into Vitamin A and which are antioxidants. As for cherries(樱桃), they are so delicious who care? However, they are rich in Vitamin C.When combined with berries or slices of other fruits, frozen bananas make an excellent base for thick, cooling fruits shakes and low fat “ice cream”. For this purpose, select ripe bananas for freezing as they are much sweeter. Remove the skin and place them in plastic bags or containers and freeze. If you like, a squeeze of fresh lemon juice on the bananas will prevent them turning brown. Frozen bananas will last several weeks, depending on their ripeness and the temperature of the freezer.If you have a juicer, you can simply feed in frozen bananas and some berries or sliced fruit. Out comes a “Soft-serve” creamy dessert, to be eaten right away. This makes a fun activity for a children’s party; they love feeding the fruit and frozen bananas into the top of the machine and watching the ice cream come out below.12.What does the author seem to like about cherries?A. They contain protein.         B. They are high in vitamin A.C. They have a pleasant taste.        D. They are rich in antioxidants.13. Why is fresh lemon juice used in freezing bananas?A. To make them smell better.        B. To keep their colour.C. To speed up their ripening.        D. To improve their nutrition.14. What is “a juicer” in the last paragraph?A. A dessert. B. A drink.   C. A container.  D.A machine.15. From which is the text probably taken?A.  A biology textbook.  B. A health magazine.C.  A research paper.   D . A travel brochure. 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。选项中有两项为多余选项。How to Make Friends  Friendship is a very important human relationship and everyone needs good friends.
