B 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 iazz music,its significance,and its potential as a unifying()voice across cultures. D vite the celebrations,though,in the U.S.the jazz audience continues to shrink and grow olc the music has failed to connect with younger generations. 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 white 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()lie? Are we,as humans,gaining any insight()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." 24.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. 25.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. 26.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. 27.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 Tai chi,which combines slow,gentle movements and postures (with mindfulness,is known to increase flexibility and improve balance.Now,new research suggests it's better than aerobic (exercise for lowering blood pressure in people with prehypertension,which is blood pressure that's higher than normal but doesn't quite reach the level of high blood pressure. Prehypertension is considered a warning sign that heart disease may be ahead. In the study,researchers employed 342 adults with prehypertension,whose average age was 49.Roughly half the people participated in supervised aerobic exercise,including jogging, climbing stairs,quick walking and cycling.The other half was trained to practise tai chi.Both groups got hour-long sessions(一段时间)four times a weck. After 12 months,those in the tai chi group saw bigger drops in their blood pressure than those in the acrobic exercise group.Besides,nearly 22%of the people who practised tai chi saw their blood pressure fall to within the normal range,compared with nearly 16%of people in the acrobic exercise group.Fewer patients in the tai chi group went on to develop hypertension than in the aerobic exercise group. So what is the key?The practice terds to cause more of a response from the parasympathetic nervous system,says Ruth Taylor-Piliae,a professor at the University of Arizona's College of Nursing,who was not involved in the study.The parasympathetic nervous system is the network of nerves that relaxes your body after periods of stress or danger. Tai chi is appealing as it requires little space or equipment."I think the beauty of tai chi is that you don't have to have a special gym membership,"Taylor-Piliae says."Once you learn tai chi,you can do it anytime,anywhere.It does provide that calming,relaxing effect." Studies have also shown that practising tai chi can help reduce the risk of falls,improve balance and walking speed in older adults,and reduce depression and anxiety."But you have to have enough dose of tai chi,"Taylor-Piliae says."You can't just do it one hour,one time." 28.What happened to those who practised tai chi in the study? A.They became smarter. B.Most of them seldom got sick. C.They all became confident and optimistic. D.Many of them began to have normal blood pressure. 29.What does paragraph 4 mainly tell us? A.When it is better to practise tai chi B.How people can do tai chi easily. C.Why tai chi helps lower blood pressure. D.What makes tai chi so appealing. 30.Why is tai chi popular according to Taylor-Piliae? A.It can build the ability to keep going.B.It is convenient to practise. C.It can promote weight loss. D.It is a form of self-defence. 31.What is Taylor-Piliae's advice on practising tai chi? A.Practising it regularly. B.Combining it with dieting. C.Practising it as early as possible. D.Combining it with other workouts. D A demonstration mission to test an idea of cleaning up space junk was launched this morning in Kazakhstan.Known as ELSA-D,the mission will exhibit technology that can help deal with space junk.The spacecraft works by attempting to attach itself to dead satellites and pushing them toward the Earth to burn up in the atmosphere. ELSA-D,which stands for End-of-life Services by Astroscale,will be carried out by a 3/: "servicer spacecraft"and a"client satellite"that are launched together,according to Astroscale, spacecraft will release and try to meet with the client satellite,which will act as a piece of space junk. Tmission will carry out this catch-and-release process repeatedly over the course of six mo he goal is to prove the servicer's ability to track down and dock with its target in var,g levels of complexity.However,the spacecraft is not designed to deal with dead satellites already in orbit,but rather future satellites that would be launched with docking plates on them. Space junk has been a growing problem for years.According to a recent report by NASA,at least 26,000 of the millions of pieces of space junk are the size of a softball.Orbiting along at 17,500mph,they could destroy a satellite.And the most common space junk,more than 100 million pieces,is the size of a grain of salt and could make holes in a spacesuit,amplifying risk to spacecraft and crew. The development of other cleanup technologies has been underway for years.In 2016, Japan's space agency sent a 700-meter chain into space to try to slow down and redirect space junk.In 2018,a device called RemoveDebris successfully cast a net around a large piece of space junk.These efforts could prove increasingly important as private space projects like Spacex continue to fill low Earth orbit in a messy way. 32.How will the servicer spacecraft function? A.By breaking space junk into pieces. B.By pushing space junk towards the Earth. C.By adding docking plates to client satellites. D.By drawing dead satellites away from the Earth. 33.What kind of space junk will the servicer mainly deal with? A.Dead satellites in orbit. B.Large pieces of space junk. C.Satellites to be launched with docking plates. D.Space junk around working satellites in a messy way. 34.Which of the following can best replace the underlined word"amplifying"in Paragraph 4? A.increasing B.removing C.examining D.transporting 35.What can we infer from the last paragraph? A.Space research is becoming important. B.The function of artificial satellites is various. C.It's necessary to conduct the clear-up mission. D.SpaceX plays an important role in sending satellites. 第二节（共5小题：每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Thousands of us have been rediscovering the joys of putting pen to paper to send messages of love and encouragement to family and friends recently.Writing is having a comeback,which is great news for all of us.36 Power off the laptop and phone and pick up a pen and paper. It helps you learn more readily. Using a laptop during lectures may be the modern way,but taking notes by hand appears to be more helpful to learning.37This,in turn,means you understand it better and commit it to memory.

It allows you to sleep well. If you've ever woken up in the midnight and suddenly remembered certain things you haven't done,it'll be difficult for you to get back to sleep.They'll probably keep you awake because your brain is concerned you might have forgotten them again by morning.39That way you're giving your brain permission to forget about them for the night and you can nod off. 40 If you're interested in taking your writing to another level,then add modemn calligraphy to your hobby list.Calligraphy forces you to slow down and achieve what psychologists call flow which is a positive emotional state and enjoyment with no stress attached.
