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 (voice across cultures.
Despite the celebrations,though,in the U.S.the jazz audience continues to shrink and grow
old,and the 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 white anymore.It's actually colorful,
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 like putting 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(情景的重新构a建).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.

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
"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
英语试卷第3页共8页
junk.
The mission will carry out this catch-and-release process repeatedly over the course of six
months.The goal is to prove the servicer's ability to track down and dock with its target in varying
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
17,500 mph,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.
28.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.
29.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.
30.Which of the following can best replace the underlined word"amplifying"in Paragraph 4?
A.increasing
B.removing
C.examining
D.transporting
31.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.

Tourists visiting La Gomera and EI Hierro in the Canary-Islands can often hear locals
communicating over long distances by whistling-not a tune,but the Spanish language.The locals
are communicating in Silbo,a whistled Spanish language.
Whistled languages are almost developed in rough,mountainous regions or in thick forest.
That's because whistled speech carries much farther than ordinary speech or shouting.As a result,
whistled speech can be understood up to 10 times as far away as ordinary shouting.That lets
people communicate even when they cannot easily approach close enough to shout.On La
Gomera,for example,a few traditional shepherds (still whistle to one another across
mountain valleys that could take hours to cross.
Whistled languages work because many of the key elements of speech can be produced in a
whistle,says Meyer.We distinguish()one speech sound from another by small differences in
英语试卷第4页共8页
their sound frequency patterns.A long"e",for example,is formed higher in the mouth than a long
“o”,giving it a higher sound..
To language scientists,such languages are more than just a curiosity.By studying whistled
languages,they hope to learn more about how our brains get meaning from the complex sound.
patterns of speech.Whistling may even provide a chance to know one of the most dramatic jump.
forward in human evolution(进化:the origin of language itself.
Despite their interest to both language experts and casual observers,whistled languages are
disappearing rapidly all over the world,and some,such as the whistled form of the Tepehua
language in Mexico,have already disappeared."...now you still find whistled speech only in
places that are very,very remote.that have had less contact with modernity and less access to
roads,”Meyer says..
Fortunately,there is still hope.UNESCO,the UN cultural organization,has listed two
whistled languages,Silbo,and a whistled Turkish,as the world's cultural heritage.Such attention
can lead to conservation efforts.
32.What led to the development of whistled languages?
A.Geographic inaccessibility.
B.Rapid increase in tourism
C:Greater information capacity.
D.Interest of language experts.
33.Why are a long“e”and along“o”mentioned in paragraph3?
A.To show what key elements speech.has.
B.To explain the differences between speech sound frequency patterns.
C.To prove the popularity of whistled language in the world.
D.To compare whistled languages and ordinary languages.
34.What might be a reason for the disappearance of whistled languages according to Meyer?
A.Construction of cities.
B.Lack of attention
C.Expansion of other cultures.
D.Modernization.
35.Which of the following could be the best title for the text?
A.Why People Used Whistled Languages
B.When Whistles Languages Disappeared
C.How Whistled Languages Developed
D.Why Whistled Languages Matter

If anyone had told me three years ago that I would be spending most of my weekends
camping.I would have laughed heartily.Campers,in my eyes,were people who enjoyed insects
bites,ill-cooked meals,and uncomfortable sleeping bags.They had nothing in common with me.
36
The friends who introduced me to camping thought that it meant to be a pioneer.37
We slept in a tent,cooked over an open fire,and walked a long distance to take the shower and
use the bathroom.This brief visit with Mother Nature cost me two days off from work,
recovering from a bad case of sunburn and the doctor's bill for my son's food poisoning.
I was,nevertheless,talked into going on another fun-filled holiday in the wilderness.
38
Instead,we had a pop-up camper with comfortable beds and an air conditioner.My
nature-loving friends had remembered to bring all the necessities of life.

We have done a lot of it since.Recently,we bought a twenty-eight-foot travel
trailer complete with a bathroom and a built-in TV set.There is a separate bedroom,a modern

Her name was Mrs.Thompson.And as she stood in front of the 5th grade class on the very
first day she looked at her students and said that she loved them all the same.But that was
impossible because there in the front row was a little boy named Teddy Stoddard.Mrs.Thompson
had watched Teddy the year before and noticed that he didn't play well with the other children,
that his clothes were messy and that he constantly needed a bath.She paid no attention to Teddy.
However,when she read his file,she was in surprise.Teddy's first grade teacher wrote,
"Teddy is a bright child with a ready laugh.He does his work neatly and has good manners...he is
a joy to be around."His second grade teacher wrote,"Teddy is an excellent student,well liked by
his classmates.But he is troubled because his mother has a deadly illness and life at home must be
a struggle."His third grade teacher wrote,"His mother's death has been hard on him.He tried to
do his best but his father doesn't show much interest."Teddy's fourth grade teacher wrote,"Teddy
is withdrawn and doesn't show much interest in school.He doesn't have many friends and
sometimes sleeps in class."By now,Mrs.Thompson realized the problem and she was ashamed of
herself.She thought that she could make a difference.
She felt even worse when her students brought her presents,wrapped in beautiful paper and
tied with pretty ribbons,except for Teddy's.His present was clumsily wrapped in the heavy,brown
paper that he got from a grocery bag.Mrs.Thompson opened it in the middle of the other presents.
Some of the children started to.laugh when she found a stone bracelet (with some of the
stones missing,and a bottle that was one-quarter full of perfume.
