Now, jazz music is an important part of Indianapolis ’ art culture. Jazz clubs around the city still host concerts with local jazz musicians like Rob Dixon and Joel Tucker. One of these clubs, the Chatterbox Jazz Club, still has live jazz seven nights a week.
But the real history of jazz in Indy is much less simple. Along with the Avenue ’s culture, jazz music was gone from the streets for many years.
Indiana Avenue was the heart of a neighborhood along the White River. It was a center for black music and live street music. The wealthy avoided this area. So it became a place that poorer families, including many African-American and immigrant (移民) families, moved to.
Jazz prospered in the mix of American cultures around the Avenue in the 1930s and 1940s. But in the 1950s, things changed. After the war, there were projects to make the city beautiful and build a university nearby. Both of these seemed like good changes. However, the new university and buildings caused poorer families to have to leave the area. This destroyed the Indiana Avenue community—and with it, its jazz culture.
After many years, Indianapolis remembered the value of its arts and music culture. It began to bring back lost cultures such as live music on the Avenue. To do so, it began to make new changes. The changes included repairing historic areas like the Avenue. Once again, the high living costs in these historic arts areas pushed low-income families out.
Today there are several old-style jazz clubs where friends can meet up to remember the past or just enjoy a summer evening. It might seem at first that jazz is alive again, but there is a sad reality behind these jazz clubs: Modern Indy jazz is only a shadow (影子) of the lively culture that was once on Indiana Avenue.
24. What does the author mainly want to say in Paragraph 1
A. Jazz clubs can make money.
B. Jazz musicians often hold concerts.
C. Jazz music is popular in Indianapolis.
D. Jazz culture is just part of Indianapolis ’ culture.
25. What does the underlined word “prospered” in Paragraph 4 mean
A. Disappeared quickly. B. Arrived soon.
C. Recovered soon. D. Developed well.
26. What did Indianapolis do to bring back its lost culture
A. It rebuilt some old important areas.
B. It invited old jazz musicians to sing in the city.
C. It educated people about the value of music culture.
D. It settled low-income families in the Indiana Avenue community.
27. According to the passage, which of the following about modern Indy jazz is true
A. Its home culture is gone.
B. Its styles are too traditional.
C. It shows the sadness of the poor.
D. It is no longer a favorite of the young.
C

We first met Joemar in mid-October in the San Juan Airport. His father, Guillermo Class, had sold his car to buy plane tickets to get his kids and fly them up from Puerto Rico. The island was almost destroyed by the deadly storm—Hurricane Maria.
Now, they are settling into their new home in Hartford ’s South End. A week later, and, using his wife ’s car, Class drove 16-year-old Joemar to his first day at Bulkeley High School.

A total of 19 languages are spoken in Bulkeley High School. “We have so many new students coming here from other countries every single day, ” Levitz said. “So it ’s not like he ’s the only one who has that feeling. ”

On March 2, at the meeting held ahead of the yearly session of the CPPCC National Committee(全国政协大会), interpreter(口译员) Yao Mengyao caught the attention of many with her “quick reaction and correct translation”, Xinhua noted.
Yao began her studies in English in primary school where she would listen to English tapes. She often spoke to her teacher about English-related topics that were not limited to the ones in her textbooks, “They were always very professional uncommon topics, ”said Yao ’s senior school teacher Shen Yingzi.
Like Yao, Zhang Lu is a regular interpreter for China ’s top leaders, including Premier Li Keqiang and former Premier Wen Jiabao. Her effortless but on-point translations of ancient poems mentioned by former Premier Wen won praise.
So how do interpreters reach their top positions
The reason for their success is largely hard work. When they go out on visits with Chinese leaders, the interpreters follow a very strict schedule. Zhang called this schedule“an unshakable plan”. They listen to foreign media such as BBC, VOA or CNN through TV or radio for their training.
It is reported that a month before the two sessions(两会), the interpreters get notice of the spokesperson they are going to interpret for. They then make full use of this month to prepare themselves. They try to predict the questions that might be asked and consider the sayings the spokesperson might use when they answer the questions.
In truth, there is no secret to their success: It ’s all a matter of skill and hard work.
32. What can be inferred from the second paragraph
A. Yao tried to make a speech in English.
B. The textbooks didn ’t interest Yao at all.
C. Yao showed a strong interest in English.
D. The teacher got tired of Yao ’s endless questions.
33. Which of the following is closest in meaning to the underlined word in Paragraph 3
A. Serious. B. Ordinary.
C. Organized. D. Frequent.
34. What should interpreters try to do before the two sessions
A. Make a schedule for foreign visits.
B. Predict the questions to be asked.
C. Go out on visits with Chinese leaders.
D. Discuss with their teammates.
35. How do the interpreters reach the top positions
A. By working hard.
B. By travelling abroad.
C. By making a strict schedule.
D. By following the leaders.

As English learners, you often feel anxious when you have to speak English in front of others. 36 Here are some solutions to help you build confidence in speaking English.
Adopt a practice and repetition routine(常规). When something becomes natural to you, you begin to feel confident of doing it. And the only way you can arrive at this “natural” way of doing things is through practice and repetition. 37 So write down what you may talk about and then practice saying it aloud and repeatedly before an English meeting.
38 You may lose confidence when your spoken English is misunderstood by listeners. In most cases, it ’s because the listeners are not used to your accent or you speak too fast. There is no doubt that speaking slowly is easy to achieve.
Don ’t run away from uncomfortable situations. It is natural for any human being to avoid uncomfortable situations when possible, but you will build your confidence in the uncomfortable zones. 39
All in all, learning to speak English confidently doesn ’t happen overnight. 40 As the saying goes, “No pains, no gains. ” As long as you make enough efforts, you will surely improve your spoken English, and then you will naturally become confident of speaking English in front of others.
A. Purposely speak more slowly.
B. Try to understand your listeners.
C. It takes time and you need to make continuous efforts.
D. Well. It ’s the same principle as speaking English confidently.
E. It is common to make some mistakes when you speak English.
F. However, going from an unconfident speaker to a confident one is possible.
G. The secret is to be fully prepared, and then you will overcome the uncomfortable situations.

Everyone likes the beautiful Cinderella, but I like the ugly stepsister. The sidewalk was filled with shoppers as my mother and I hurried to the department store. I raised my neck for a look at the holiday window display, but at the age of six I was too small to see around the grown-ups with their winter coats and packages. When at last we reached the store, I stood with my eyes widened. “Look, Mother, ” I shouted, pressing my hands against the glass, “Cinderella. ” Before my eyes was the most beautiful doll I had ever seen! She wore a fairy princess suit made of shining red silk. I knew if I lifted her skirt I would find her crystal(水晶) shoes. The tiny tiara (冠状头饰) fastened to her silky golden hair shone.
“If only she were mine, ” I dreamed. “We ’d have tea parties, share secrets and dance with a handsome prince. ” But to my disappointment, my mother guided me away from the window, explaining that she and my father could not afford such an expensive doll. “But there will be a very special gift under the tree for you on Christmas morning, Madge, ” she said. “I promise. ” Later that week I leaned against Mother ’s sewing machine, watching the needle flash up and down. “Bet you don ’t know what this is! ” she joked, holding up the cloth for me to see. “My Christmas doll! ” I yelled. It was still in the early stages but I could make out the head, neck and body. “So much to my surprise! ” Mother laughed as I danced around the room, already pretending Cinderella and I were at the ball. It wouldn ’t be long now.
My excitement grew with each passing day. Mother continued to work on the doll, and whenever I walked into the room she would hide it under a pillow. I could tell by her smile she was pleased with her progress. On Christmas morning I jumped out of bed, ran down the hall and quickly arrived at the living room where the Christmas tree was placed.
注意: 续写词数应为150左右。
There, underneath the tree, was a beautifully packed gift box.
But I could see mother watching me, waiting for my response.
概要写作
阅读下面短文, 根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。
Getting up early has been seen as a good habit since ancient times. Many years ago, people thought that if we went to bed early and got up early, we would be energetic (精力充沛的) the whole day. So, getting up early is of great importance to us all.
In fact, morning is the best time of a day. In the morning, the air is the freshest and people are usually in the best condition. Many of us may have the experiences that we memorize some things more quickly and correctly in the morning than any other time of the day. And it is certain that we find it easier to understand what we learn. If we get up early and do some morning exercises or only take a short walk in the morning, without doubt we can build up our bodies and become much healthier. Also we will have enough time to make a plan and get ready for our work or study of the day if we get up early. For example, if everyone in the family gets up early, the wife will have enough time to prepare the breakfast for the whole family. Children will have enough time to catch the school bus, and the husband will never forget to change his dirty shirt. Everything is in order. However, if we get up late, we ’ll probably have to do everything in a hurry.
Getting up early is such a good habit that we should try our best to keep it. If we stick to (坚持) getting up early every day, we will certainly benefit a lot from it.

W: Have you all heard about the White House Today we ’re going to talk about the building that symbolizes the USA. Mr Green, please.
M: The White House is one of the most recognizable structures in the world. You can ’t say you ’ve been to Washington D. C. if you haven ’t seen the White House. Not every American president lives there. Though the Executive Mansion was begun in 1792 under the direction of George Washington, the structure was not completed until 1800, so ironically Washington never called it home. The White House is open to the public on weekdays from 10 am until noon The building was torched by British troops in 1814, during the War of 1812, and the structural damage caused by the fire was repaired, but the sandstone walls outside were still black from the fire. The walls were then painted white, giving birth to the name the building now goes by. An act of Congress made
it the official name in 1920. Every President has left his mark upon the White House, with Thomas Jefferson adding grass to the east and west wings Andrew Jackson installing running water, and Harry Truman adding a porch. Bill Clinton ’s addition to the White House was an indoor track.
18. When was the White House completed
A. In 1792. B. In 1800. C. In 1902.
答案: B
19. Which country damaged the White House
A. France. B. Germany. C. England.
答案: C
20. What did Andrew Jackson do for the White House
A. Adding grass.

Now, jazz music is an important part of Indianapolis ’ art culture. Jazz clubs around the city still host concerts with local jazz musicians like Rob Dixon and Joel Tucker. One of these clubs, the Chatterbox Jazz Club, still has live jazz seven nights a week.
But the real history of jazz in Indy is much less simple. Along with the Avenue ’s culture, jazz music was gone from the streets for many years.
Indiana Avenue was the heart of a neighborhood along the White River. It was a center for black music and live street music. The wealthy avoided this area. So it became a place that poorer families, including many African-American and immigrant (移民) families, moved to.
Jazz prospered in the mix of American cultures around the Avenue in the 1930s and 1940s. But in the 1950s, things changed. After the war, there were projects to make the city beautiful and build a university nearby. Both of these seemed like good changes. However, the new university and buildings caused poorer families to have to leave the area. This destroyed the Indiana Avenue community—and with it, its jazz culture.
After many years, Indianapolis remembered the value of its arts and music culture. It began to bring back lost cultures such as live music on the Avenue. To do so, it began to make new changes. The changes included repairing historic areas like the Avenue. Once again, the high living costs in these historic arts areas pushed low-income families out.
Today there are several old-style jazz clubs where friends can meet up to remember the past or just enjoy a summer evening. It might seem at first that jazz is alive again, but there is a sad reality behind these jazz clubs: Modern Indy jazz is only a shadow (影子) of the lively culture that was once on Indiana Avenue.

Yao began her studies in English in primary school where she would listen to English tapes. She often spoke to her teacher about English-related topics that were not limited to the ones in her textbooks, “They were always very professional uncommon topics, ”said Yao ’s senior school teacher Shen Yingzi.

As English learners, you often feel anxious when you have to speak English in front of others. 36 Here are some solutions to help you build confidence in speaking English.
Adopt a practice and repetition routine(常规). When something becomes natural to you, you begin to feel confident of doing it. And the only way you can arrive at this “natural” way of doing things is through practice and repetition. 37 So write down what you may talk about and then practice saying it aloud and repeatedly before an English meeting.

Don ’t run away from uncomfortable situations. It is natural for any human being to avoid uncomfortable situations when possible, but you will build your confidence in the uncomfortable zones. 39
All in all, learning to speak English confidently doesn ’t happen overnight. 40 As the saying goes, “No pains, no gains. ” As long as you make enough efforts, you will surely improve your spoken English, and then you will naturally become confident of speaking English in front of others.
A. Purposely speak more slowly.
B. Try to understand your listeners.
C. It takes time and you need to make continuous efforts.
D. Well. It ’s the same principle as speaking English confidently.
E. It is common to make some mistakes when you speak English.
F. However, going from an unconfident speaker to a confident one is possible.
G. The secret is to be fully prepared, and then you will overcome the uncomfortable situations.

I raised my neck for a look at the holiday window display, but at the age of six I was too small to see around the grown-ups with their winter coats and packages. When at last we reached the store, I stood with my eyes widened. “Look, Mother, ” I shouted, pressing my hands against the glass, “Cinderella. ” Before my eyes was the most beautiful doll I had ever seen! She wore a fairy princess suit made of shining red silk. I knew if I lifted her skirt I would find her crystal(水晶) shoes. The tiny tiara (冠状头饰) fastened to her silky golden hair shone.
“If only she were mine, ” I dreamed. “We ’d have tea parties, share secrets and dance with a handsome prince. ” But to my disappointment, my mother guided me away from the window, explaining that she and my father could not afford such an expensive doll. “But there will be a very special gift under the tree for you on Christmas morning, Madge, ” she said. “I promise. ” Later that week I leaned against Mother ’s sewing machine, watching the needle flash up and down. “Bet you don ’t know what this is! ” she joked, holding up the cloth for me to see. “My Christmas doll! ” I yelled. It was still in the early stages but I could make out the head, neck and body. “So much to my surprise! ” Mother laughed as I danced around the room, already pretending Cinderella and I were at the ball. It wouldn ’t be long now.
My excitement grew with each passing day. Mother continued to work on the doll, and whenever I walked into the room she would hide it under a pillow. I could tell by her smile she was pleased with her progress. On Christmas morning I jumped out of bed, ran down the hall and quickly arrived at the living room where the Christmas tree was placed.

There, underneath the tree, was a beautifully packed gift box. Inside it was the “doll” I expected. With butterflies in my stomach, I breathed deeply and then opened it expectantly. However, much to my disappointment, it was nothing like the one that we saw at the store. She wore a plain skirt with a simple face. Her black woolen hair was pulled back in a pony tail, with no shiny tiara at all, not to mention the crystal shoes. She was nothing like Cinderella; she looked more like the ugly stepsister.
But I could see mother watching me, waiting for my response. I knew mum would be sad if she knew what I really felt. Hiding my disappointment, I shouted with delight, “She ’s hard to resist! Thanks, Mum! ” A relieved smile appeared on my mother ’s face. From time to time, I would take the “ugly stepsister” out and admire it. It is a reminder of my mother ’s love. Her love would make me special and happy even if things did not always tick all the right boxes.

Getting up early has been seen as a good habit since ancient times. Many years ago, people thought that if we went to bed early and got up early, we would be energetic (精力充沛的) the whole day. So, getting up early is of great importance to us all.
In fact, morning is the best time of a day. In the morning, the air is the freshest and people are usually in the best condition. Many of us may have the experiences that we memorize some things more quickly and correctly in the morning than any other time of the day. And it is certain that we find it easier to understand what we learn. If we get up early and do some morning exercises or only take a short walk in the morning, without doubt we can build up our bodies and become much healthier. Also we will have enough time to make a plan and get ready for our work or study of the day if we get up early. For example, if everyone in the family gets up early, the wife will have enough time to prepare the breakfast for the whole family. Children will have enough time to catch the school bus, and the husband will never forget to change his dirty shirt. Everything is in order. However, if we get up late, we ’ll probably have to do everything in a hurry.
Getting up early is such a good habit that we should try our best to keep it. If we stick to (坚持) getting up early every day, we will certainly benefit a lot from it.
