What little training he did have began when he was placed in the New Orleans Colored Waifs Home at the age of 12, after a run-in with the police. The punishment tuned out to be a mixed blessing, for he also had the opportunity to play in a real band.While at the Waifs Home, Armstrong also got the chance to hear some of the citys finest musicians. Cornetist Freddie Keppard performed in a nearby club. So did trumpeter and bandleader King Joe Oliver, who took the boy under his wing and taught him how to read music and work on his playing technique.When Oliver left for Chicago, Armstrong chose to stay in New Orleans and work with some of the other top musicians of the day. Some years later in Chicago, King Oliver offered him a place in his band in 1922. It became Armstrongs biggest challenge yet - the band had no parts written for trumpet, so he was forced to listen to King Oliver and improvise ( 即兴创作 ).Soon, Armstrongs undeniable talent was getting notice. Lil Hardin, the bands piano player and the future Mrs. Armstrong, explains that Oliver kept Armstrong in the second trumpet-chair so that Oliver would still be “King”. Hardin convinced him to leave the band.Armstrong recorded his first composition, Cornet Chop Suey, one of the most copied jazz solos of all time. This monumental 1928 recording mixes artistry, endurance and showmanship that has rarely, if ever, been matched in jazz.24、What does the underlined word “run-in” mean in the second paragraph?A、campaign B、tension C、exploration D、conflict25、 Who played a fundamental part in Armstrongs achievements in music?A、Buddy Bolden. B、Lil Hardin. C、King Joe Oliver D、Cornetist Freddie Keppard.26、 Why did Louis Armstrong leave King Oliver s band?A、Because he wanted to get married in New York. B、Because his talent could not develop completely.C、Because he got a better opportunity in New York.D、Because the man forced him to leave the band.27、Whats the main idea of the passage?A、It asks readers to know more about modern jazz.B、It introduces one of the greatest jazz musicians.C、It introduces the development of jazz.D、It describes the importance of talent in playing jazz.CYou may think that sailing is a difficult sport, but it is really not hard to learn it. You do not need to be strong. But you need to be quick. And you need to understand a few basic rules about the wind.First, you must ask yourself, “Where is the wind coming from? Is it coming from ahead or behind or from the side?” You must think about this all the time on the boat. The wind direction tells you what to do with the sail.Lets start with the wind blowing from the behind. This means the wind and the boat are going in the same direction. Then you must always keep the sail outside the boat. It should be at a 90 angle to the boat. Then it will catch the wind best.If the wind is blowing from the side, it is blowing across the boat. In this case, you must keep the sail half way outside the boat. It should be at a 45 angle to the boat. It needs to be out far enough to catch the wind, but it shouldnt flap (摆动). It shouldnt look like on a flagpole. If it is flapping, it is probably out too far, and the boat will slow down.Sailing into the wind is not possible. If you try, the sail will flap and the boat will stop. You may want to go in that direction. It is possible, but you cant go in a straight line. You must go first in one direction and then in another. This is called tacking. When you are tacking, you must always keep the sail inside the boat.28、What should you do when you are learning to sail ?A、Tell wind directions. B、Know wave levels. C、Consider the size of sails D、Know the position of your boat29、What does the word “It” underlined in Paragraph 4 refer to? A、The boat. B、The wind. C、The angle. D、The sail.30、According to the passage, which of the following is right?A、Keep the sail inside when sailing with the wind blowing from the behind.B、Allow the sail to flap when sailing with the wind blowing from the side. C、Tack the boat when trying to sail against the wind.D、 Move in a straight line when sailing against the wind.31、Where can you probably find the text?A、 In a physics textbook. B、In a tourist guidebook.C、 In an official report. D、In an entertainment magazine. DHave you ever looked at a fashionable item of clothing and felt confused? If so, your confusion may have made sense.Several months ago, high fashion brand Balenciaga released a T-shirt shirt”, which is a shirt sewn on the front of a T-shirt. The unusual design has certainly confused a lot of people.高三英语试卷 第 5 页 共10页 高三英语试卷 第 6 页 共10页But the “double shirt” isnt fighting alone on the frontier of strange fashion. Ever since US shoe manufacturer Crocs released its famous hole-filled foam shoes, so-called “ ugly fashion” hasnt showed any signs of slowing down, the Business of Fashion Website noted. British designer Paul Surridge believes that the rise of ugly fashion is a sign that people are bored of looking perfect all the time. “(Fashion) thrives on novelty”, he told the Financial Times.Indeed, fashion is all about changes. Something thats considered uncool one minute can then turn out to be the latest must-have fashion item the next.And in the eyes of US fashion writer Megan Collins, ugly doesnt necessarily mean the design of the item is ugly. After all, ugly is something subjective. “Ugly fashion means not the mainstream- its not what everyones wearing; its not what the general population considers as in right now,” she told style news site Fashionista.But throughout the history of fashion, when any new trend appears, most people tend to hate it, before it eventually becomes loved. As Italian designer Miuccia Prada told The New York Times, “ Maybe because it is newer, ugly is attractive. Ugly is exciting.”Meanwhile, popular social media fashion bloggers also help people to pick up new ugly fashion trends. These bloggers express themselves through their clothes, showing their unique personalities and making statements with their wardrobe choices. However, as Clever-ish Magazine noted, just being comfortable in your own skin could actually be the best look”.“I personally love having a unique expression, because without ugly fashion and diversity, wed all look the same,” Australian fashion influencer and model Zanita Whittington told Fahionista, “ I appreciate anything thats out of the norm.”32、How does the author lead to the topic of the passage?A、By telling a funny story. B、By asking and answering questionsC、By asking questions and giving examplesD、By giving different remarks from different people.33.、What can we know from the writer Megan Collins?A、Ugly fashion has a standard criterion B、Ugly fashion varies from person to personC、Most people like ugly fashion D、Ugly fashion can be easily predicted34、What will some social media fashion bloggers do to show their personalities?A、They will dress themselves to look perfect.B、They will try some new and exciting clothes.C、They will make statements with others clothes choices. D、They will express themselves by wearing ugly clothes.35、Which may be the best title?A、Ugly fashion - accept it or hate it B、Ugly fashion - defend it or ban it C、Ugly fashion means a public trend D、Ugly fashion means a sign for perfection第二节：七选五（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。Early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise. 36 Sleeping at 4 am and waking up at noon was a part of me.
