For many years, I wanted to be a music video director. After graduating from high school, I moved to Los Angeles. I earned a degree in video production there. Fortune smiled upon me as I quickly worked as a production helper. I was young and ambitious, doing my best in my dream work.
One day, I worked as a volunteer at an award show. A production manager talked with me and said that I was going to be a “big fish” one day. I was praised, but frightened. I wasn’t sure whether I could bear the pressure of being a “big fish”. Not too long after the show, I was laid off from my position at the production company. I went back home to Florida to think about my next career move.
In Florida, I found a job in a financial company. The pay was good, and the work was not difficult. But a few months later, my creative spirit sent an SOS to my brain. It reminded me that I wasn’t making the best use of my talents. I didn’t have the money to make another cross-country move back to Los Angeles, but I couldn’t wait to create something.
I did some creative writing during my spare time. To motivate myself even further, I promised myself a children’s storybook. My goal didn’t end there, however. I also decided to get the book published. It was not easy, and I continued sending out my work for nearly four years. Finally my work attracted the interest of a publisher.
When I held a copy of my beautiful children’s book in my hands, I felt really happy from the bottom of my heart. I may not have become a big fish, but I did achieve a goal. Success comes from efforts. When you have something to fight for, you’re not far from success.
4. The author went to Los Angeles to ______.
A. find a high-paid job B. reach for her dream
C. visit a famous film director D. take part in volunteer activities
5. What was the author’s reaction to the production manager’s comments on her?
A. Proud. B. Delighted. C. Uncertain. D. Disappointed.
6. What does the author think of her job in Florida?
A It lacks challenges. B. It requires a higher degree.
C. It often takes up her free time. D. It can hardly support her family.
7 Which of the following sayings can best explain the theme of the passage?
A. A good beginning makes a good ending.
B. A thousand mile trip begins with one step.
C. Never judge a person by appearance.
D. Where there is a will, there is a way.
C
A recent study has found that being exposed to low temperatures creates more good fat which burns calories in the body. Being cold is similar to the effects of exercise, protecting against being too fat and improving health. The researchers have discovered that exposure to cold changes the make-up of gut bacteria (肠道细菌), which can lead to burning fat and reduce body weight.
While ordinary white fat, known as bad fat, piles on when we eat more calories than we burn, brown fat seems to burn extra calories to produce heat. Babies have lots of brown fat — they need it to keep warm — but there are small amounts in the necks of adults, too. Studies have shown that staying in a cold environment can speed the formation of more brown fat in the body.
Researchers predicted the health benefits of being exposed to cold may have something to do with gut bacteria. They exposed the first group of mice to a cold temperature of 6℃for up to 10 days and discovered this caused a major change in the make-up of the mice’s gut microbes (微生物), preventing the mice from gaining weight.
Then, the gut bacteria were put into the second group of mice that did not have gut microbes. It was found that they increased tolerance (忍耐力) to cold temperatures. The mice also lost weight as the changes in gut bacteria promoted the formation of brown fat. However, after three weeks of cold exposure, the body weight began to remain stable.
Professor Mirko Trajkovski said, that they provide powerful evidence that gut microbes play a key role in people’s ability to adapt to the environment. They are excited about testing whether gut microbes could be a promising approach to preventing being fat.
8. What’s the new result of the recent study?
A. Good fat has nothing to do with calories. B. Exercise can change the make-up of gut bacteria.
C. Being cold helps people lose weight. D. Gut bacteria will stop producing brown fat.
9. What do we know about brown fat?
A. It’s usually considered as bad fat. B. It fails to produce in a cold environment.
C. It can’t be found in the bodies of adults. D. It burns more calories in low temperatures.
10. With the gut bacteria, the second group of mice ________.
A. kept losing weight every day B. had much less brown fat in the cold
C. gained a better ability to stand the cold D. could produce more bad fat in the body
11. According to Mirko Trajkovski, the result ________.
A. could provide new treatment for overweight people
B. shows people how to get used to the cold
C. makes people realize the importance of keeping warm
D. may cause more people to take exercise
D
Some of the world’s most famous musicians recently gathered in Paris and New Orleans to celebrate the first annual International Jazz Day. 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 my 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 humans, gaining any insight(感悟) on how to talk about ourselves and how something 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 dialogues. Those are the things I want to foster.”
12. 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.
13. 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.
14. 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.
15. 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.

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
As I sat by the window of our schoolhouse that afternoon, my heart began to sink further with each passing car. This was a day I had been looking forward to for weeks. Miss Pace had kept a running countdown on the blackboard, and our class had almost gone crazy by the time the much-anticipated “party Friday” had arrived.
I had happily volunteered my mother when Miss Pace requested cookie volunteers. Mom’s chocolate chips were the best on our block, and I knew they would be a hit with my classmates. But two o'clock passed, and there was no sign of her. Most of the other mothers had already come and gone, dropping off their offerings of dessert. My mother was missing in action.
“Don’t worry, Robbie. She’ll be along soon,” Miss Pace said as I looked sadly at the street. I looked at the wall clock just in time to see its black minute hand shift to half past two.
Around me the noisy party went on, but I wouldn’t leave my window watch post. Miss Pace did her best to comfort me, but I just stayed there, holding out hope that the familiar family car would appear, carrying my embarrassed mother with a tin of her famous cookies under her arm.
The three o'clock bell soon awoke me from my thoughts and I sadly grabbed my schoolbag and headed home.
On the four-block walk, I plotted my revenge (报复). I would slam the front door upon entering, refuse to return her hug when she rushed over to me, and never speak to her again.
The house was empty when I arrived and I looked for a note on the refrigerator that might explain my mother’s absence, but found none. Heartbroken and angry, I was lying face-down on my bed upstairs when I heard her come through the front door and mount the steps.
When she entered my room and sat beside me on my bed, I didn’t move but instead stared blankly into my pillow, refusing to acknowledge her presence.
注意:1.续写词数应为150左右。
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
“I’m so sorry, honey,” she said. “I just got busy and forgot.”
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
I desperately tried to recall the words she had used to comfort me from times past when I cried.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

When I held a copy of my beautiful children’s book in my hands, I felt really happy from the bottom of my heart. I may not have become a big fish, but I did achieve a goal. Success comes from efforts. When you have something to fight for, you’re not far from success.

A recent study has found that being exposed to low temperatures creates more good fat which burns calories in the body. Being cold is similar to the effects of exercise, protecting against being too fat and improving health. The researchers have discovered that exposure to cold changes the make-up of gut bacteria (肠道细菌), which can lead to burning fat and reduce body weight.
While ordinary white fat, known as bad fat, piles on when we eat more calories than we burn, brown fat seems to burn extra calories to produce heat. Babies have lots of brown fat — they need it to keep warm — but there are small amounts in the necks of adults, too. Studies have shown that staying in a cold environment can speed the formation of more brown fat in the body.
Researchers predicted the health benefits of being exposed to cold may have something to do with gut bacteria. They exposed the first group of mice to a cold temperature of 6℃for up to 10 days and discovered this caused a major change in the make-up of the mice’s gut microbes (微生物), preventing the mice from gaining weight.
Then, the gut bacteria were put into the second group of mice that did not have gut microbes. It was found that they increased tolerance (忍耐力) to cold temperatures. The mice also lost weight as the changes in gut bacteria promoted the formation of brown fat. However, after three weeks of cold exposure, the body weight began to remain stable.
Professor Mirko Trajkovski said, that they provide powerful evidence that gut microbes play a key role in people’s ability to adapt to the environment. They are excited about testing whether gut microbes could be a promising approach to preventing being fat.
8. What’s the new result of the recent study?
A. Good fat has nothing to do with calories. B. Exercise can change the make-up of gut bacteria.
C. Being cold helps people lose weight. D. Gut bacteria will stop producing brown fat.
9. What do we know about brown fat?
A. It’s usually considered as bad fat. B. It fails to produce in a cold environment.
C. It can’t be found in the bodies of adults. D. It burns more calories in low temperatures.
10. With the gut bacteria, the second group of mice ________.
A. kept losing weight every day B. had much less brown fat in the cold
C. gained a better ability to stand the cold D. could produce more bad fat in the body
11. According to Mirko Trajkovski, the result ________.
A. could provide new treatment for overweight people
B. shows people how to get used to the cold
C. makes people realize the importance of keeping warm
D. may cause more people to take exercise
【答案】8. C 9. D 10. C 11. A

Being cold is similar to the effects of exercise, protecting against being too fat and improving health.(最近的一项研究发现,暴露在低温下会产生更多的有益脂肪,从而在体内燃烧卡路里。寒冷与运动的效果相似,可以防止肥胖,改善健康。)”可知,最近的研究表明,寒冷有助于人们减肥。故选C。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第二段中的“While ordinary white fat, known as bad fat, piles on when we eat more calories than we burn, brown fat seems to burn extra calories to produce heat. Babies have lots of brown fat — they need it to keep warm — but there are small amounts in the necks of adults, too. Studies have shown that staying in a cold environment can speed the formation of more brown fat in the body.(普通的白色脂肪被称为“坏脂肪”,当我们摄入的卡路里超过我们消耗的卡路里时,脂肪就会堆积起来,而棕色脂肪似乎会燃烧多余的卡路里来产生热量。婴儿有很多棕色脂肪——他们需要它来保暖——但成年人的脖子里也有少量棕色脂肪。研究表明,呆在寒冷的环境中可以加速体内棕色脂肪的形成。)”可推断,在低温下棕色脂肪能燃烧更多的热量。故选D。

However, after three weeks of cold exposure, the body weight began to remain stable.(然后,将肠道细菌放入没有肠道微生物的第二组小鼠体内。研究发现,它们增加了对低温的耐受性。由于肠道细菌的变化促进了棕色脂肪的形成,老鼠的体重也下降了。然而,在暴露在寒冷中三周后,体重开始保持稳定。)”可知,第二组小鼠在被移植了肠道细菌后,获得更好的耐寒能力。故选C。

Some of the world’s most famous musicians recently gathered in Paris and New Orleans to celebrate the first annual International Jazz Day. 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 my 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 humans, gaining any insight(感悟) on how to talk about ourselves and how something 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 dialogues. Those are the things I want to foster.”
12. 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.
13. 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.
14. 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.
15. 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.
【答案】12. D 13. C 14. C 15. A
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇说明文。主要讲述UNESCO把4月30号定为国际爵士乐日,希望意识到爵士乐的价值,但实际收效甚微。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中的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.可知,UNESCO把4月30号定为国际爵士乐日是为了让人们重视爵士乐,意识到它的重要性以及它作为连接各文化的纽带之声的潜在功能,也就是为了让人们意识到爵士乐的价值。故选D。
【13题详解】
代词指代题。根据前文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可知,尽管UNESCO为爵士乐设了纪念日,但美国的爵士乐听众依然在减少,并且年龄在老化,爵士乐没能将年轻一代人连接起来。再结合It’s Jason Moran’s job to help change that(是Jason Moran的工作是帮助改变那一情况)可推测,that指代的是前文中爵士乐在年轻一代人中失去吸引力的现象。故选C。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段中的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可知,Moran认为现在爵士乐不能 以1908或1958年的方式来呈现,因为世界已经不同了,所以爵士乐必须不断进步,说明随着时代的 发展,爵士乐也要跟上时代才不会被年轻一代所抛弃。故选C。
【15题详解】
标题选择题。通读全文可知本文主要讲UNESCO为提高人们对爵士乐的重视而设立爵士日, 但实际收效甚微。有人认为爵士乐应随着时代的进步而进步,否则将失去对人们的吸引力,因此本文主要是探索爵士乐的未来,故选A。

第二节(25分)
47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
As I sat by the window of our schoolhouse that afternoon, my heart began to sink further with each passing car. This was a day I had been looking forward to for weeks. Miss Pace had kept a running countdown on the blackboard, and our class had almost gone crazy by the time the much-anticipated “party Friday” had arrived.
I had happily volunteered my mother when Miss Pace requested cookie volunteers. Mom’s chocolate chips were the best on our block, and I knew they would be a hit with my classmates. But two o'clock passed, and there was no sign of her. Most of the other mothers had already come and gone, dropping off their offerings of dessert. My mother was missing in action.
“Don’t worry, Robbie. She’ll be along soon,” Miss Pace said as I looked sadly at the street. I looked at the wall clock just in time to see its black minute hand shift to half past two.
Around me, the noisy party went on, but I wouldn’t leave my window watch post. Miss Pace did her best to comfort me, but I just stayed there, holding out hope that the familiar family car would appear, carrying my embarrassed mother with a tin of her famous cookies under her arm.
The three o'clock bell soon awoke me from my thoughts and I sadly grabbed my schoolbag and headed home.
On the four-block walk, I plotted my revenge (报复). I would slam the front door upon entering, refuse to return her hug when she rushed over to me, and never speak to her again.
The house was empty when I arrived and I looked for a note on the refrigerator that might explain my mother’s absence, but found none. Heartbroken and angry, I was lying face-down on my bed upstairs when I heard her come through the front door and mount the steps.
When she entered my room and sat beside me on my bed, I didn’t move but instead stared blankly into my pillow, refusing to acknowledge her presence.

I desperately tried to recall the words she had used to comfort me from times past when I cried.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】“I’m so sorry, honey,” she said. “I just got busy and forgot.” I didn’t move. “Don’t forgive her,” I told myself. “She forgot you. Make her pay.” Then my mother did something completely unexpected. “I’m so sorry,” she sobbed softly. “I let you down. I let my little boy down.” She sank down on the bed and began to weep like a little girl. I was so shocked. I had never seen my mother cry. To my understanding, mothers weren’t supposed to.
I desperately tried to recall the words she had used to comfort me from times past when I cried. “It’s okay, Mom,” I stammered with difficulty. “We didn’t even need those cookies. There was plenty of food. Don’t cry. It’s all right. Really.” My words, as inadequate as they sounded to me, made my mother sit up. She wiped her eyes, and a slight smile appeared on her tear-stained cheeks. I smiled back awkwardly. We didn’t say another word but held each other in a long and tight embrace.
