social change.They were known as the Roaring Twenties，and the best place to experience this exciting time was New York City.But what was it really like?ProhibitionIn 1919，a new law in the US known as Prohibition made it illegal to buy and sell alcohol.But Prohibition didnt stop people drinking；it just drove the sale of strong alcoholic drink underground.Bootleggers(走私贩) waited off the coast of New York after dark and brought illegal alcohol into the city.JazzJazz was the music of New York in the 1920s.In fact，the decade is called Jazz Age.The best place to listen to this new form of music was the Cotton Club in Harlem.All the great jazz musicians played at the Cotton Club，including Louis Armstrong，Dizzy Gillespie and Duke Ellington.Also，in 1924 George Gershwin composed the jazzinfluenced Rhapsody in Blue.The piece has been called “a musical portrait of New York” and was used by Woody Allen in his film Manhattan.Art DecoArt Deco was the most popular style of the 1920s，with bright colors and geometric designs；it can be seen in the art，architecture and inside designs of the period.New York is full of Art Deco buildings，but the most famous ones are the Chrysler Building (built between 1928 and 1930) and the Empire State Building (built between 1930 and 1931)The Great DepressionOn 29th October，1929，the Roaring Twenties came to a dramatic end.On that day(known as “Black Tuesday”)，the US stock market crashed，causing the Great Depression.The economic downturn lasted ten years and affected most of the Western world.Unemployment in America reached 25% and the country didnt recover until after World War .【语篇解读】本文介绍了20世纪20年代的美国纽约。1We know from the passage that in 1919 people alcohol in the US.Abegan to buy and sellBstopped producingCcompletely stopped

playsA推理判断题。根据The Great Depression下的“On 29th October，1929”并结合下文中的“The economic downturn lasted ten years”可推知，1930年美国的经济状况不好。B(2016全国丙卷)If you are a fruit groweror would like to become onetake advantage of Apple Day to see whats around.Its called Apple Day but in practice its more like Apple Month.The day itself is on October 21, but since it has caught on, events now spread out over most of October around Britain.Visiting an apple event is a good chance to see, and often taste，a wide variety of apples.To people who are used to the limited choice of apples such as Golden Delicious and Royal Gala in supermarkets, it can be quite an eye opener to see the range of classical apples still in existence, such as Decio which was grown by the Romans.Although it doesnt taste of anything special，its still worth a try，as is the knobbly(多疙瘩的) Cats Head which is more of a curiosity than anything else.There are also varieties developed to suit specific local conditions.One of the very best varieties for eating quality is Orleans Reinette, but youll need a warm, sheltered place with perfect soil to grow it, so its a pipe dream for most apple lovers who fall for it.At the events, you can meet expert growers and discuss which ones will best suit your conditions, and because these are family affairs, children are well catered for with applethemed fun and games.Apple Days are being held at all sorts of places with an interest in fruit, including stately gardens and commercial orchards(果园)If you want to have a real orchard experience, try visiting the National Fruit Collection at Brogdale，near Faversham in Kent.【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。全文介绍了在苹果节上的各种各样的苹果。虽说是Apple Day，其实该节日持续接近一个月的时间。在这段时间里，我们可以品尝到很多稀有品种的苹果。如果想尝试各种各样的苹果，就来参加Apple Day吧。4What can people do at the apple events?AAttend experts lectures.BVisit fruitloving families.CPlant fruit trees in an orchard.DTaste many kinds of apples.D细节理解题。根据第二段中的Visiting an apple event is a good chance to see，and often taste，a wide variety of apples.可知，参加苹果节可以看到并经常尝到各种各样的苹果。A项说“参加专家的讲座”，这与倒数第二段中At the events，you can meet expert growers and discuss which ones will best suit your conditions提到的与专家交流不符，曲解了文意；B项说“参观喜欢水果的家庭”，文中并未提及；C项说“在果园中种植果树”，文章虽然提到可以参观、品尝等体验，但没有提种植果树。5What can we learn about Decio?AIt is a new variety.BIt has a strange look.CIt is rarely seen now.DIt has a special taste.C推理判断题。根据第二段中的.it can be quite an eye opener to see the range of classical apples still in existence，such as Decio.is more of a curiosity than anything else.可知，见到它很开阔眼界并且可以与稀奇的Cats Head这一品种类比，由此判断Decio非常稀少。A项说“它是新品种”，这与which was grown by the Romans不符；B项说“它外形奇特”，这指的是Cats Head的特点，犯了张冠李戴的错误；D项说“它有特殊的味道”，这与it doesnt taste of anything special不符。6What does the underlined phrase “a pipe dream” in Paragraph 3 mean?AA practical idea.BA vain hope.CA brilliant plan.DA selfish desire.B词义理解题。根据本段中的One of the very best varieties for eating quality is Orleans Reinette，but youll need a warm，sheltered place with perfect soil to grow it.可知，尽管Orleans Reinette是很好的品种，但是对各项条件的要求很高，因此大多数喜欢它的人种植它的希望会落空。A项说“一个切合实际的想法”，这与它对生存条件要求高矛盾；C项说“一个很好的计划”，根据画线前的描述可知，这是一种希望或梦想；D项说“一个自私的愿望”，这里说的是愿望的可否实现，不是自私与否。7What is the authors purpose in writing the text?ATo show how to grow apples.BTo introduce an apple festival.CTo help people select apples.DTo promote apple research.B作者意图题。根据文章第一段中的If you are a fruit groweror would like to become onetake advantage of Apple Day to see whats around.和第二段中的Visiting an apple event.以及后文介绍节日上的各类苹果可知，作者在介绍苹果节。A项“展示如何种植苹果”，C项“帮助人们选苹果”，D项“促进苹果的研究”，均与文章内容不符。.完形填空(2017河南省六市高三联考)When I was diagnosed with breast cancer a few

childrens book 12 ，with a third one 13 Im hoping that anyone who has the chance to read my first book of poems will benefit from it.My poems are from the heart，and I wish to have a positive 14 on
