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(联合) voice across cultures.Despite the celebrations, though, in the U.S. the jazz audience continues to shrink and grow older, and the music has failed to connect with younger generations.Its Jason Morans job to help change that. As the Kennedy Centers 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 its not really a part of the American appetite, Moran tells National Public Radios reporter Neal Conan. What Im hoping to accomplish is that my generation and younger start to reconsider and understand that jazz is not black and write anymore. Its actually color, and its actually digital.Moran says one of the problems with jazz today is that the entertainment aspect of the music has been lost. The music cant 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 Wallers 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, its the recontextualization. In music, where does the emotion(情感) lie? Are we, as humans, gaining any insight(感悟) on how 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.28. 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.29. 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. 30. What can we infer about Morans 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.31. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A. Exploring the Future of JazzB. The Rise and Fall of JazzC. The Story of a Jazz MusicianD. Celebrating the Jazz Day【答案】【语篇解读】为提高人们对于爵士乐的重视程度，UNESCO把4月30日定为国际爵士日，然而这一行为还是没能挽救爵士乐。Jason Moran认为时代在进步，为了将老一代人和年轻一代人连接起来，爵士乐也应该不断进步。29. C 【解析】推理判断题。根据前文Despite the celebrations, though, in the U.S. the jazz audience continues to shrink and grow older, and the music has failed to connect with younger generations可知尽管UNESCO为爵士乐设了纪念日，但美国的爵士乐听众依然在减少，并且年龄在老化，爵士乐没能将年轻一代人连接起来。再结合Its Jason Morans job to help change that(是Jason Moran的工作是帮助改变那一情况)可推测that指代的是前文中爵士乐在年轻一代人中失去吸引力的现象。故选C。31. A 【解析】标题选择题。通读全文可知本文主要讲UNESCO为提高人们对爵士乐的重视而设立爵士日，但实际收效甚微。有人认为爵士乐应随着时代的进步而进步，否则它将失去对人们的吸引力，因此本文主要是探索爵士乐的未来，故选A。Passage 2体裁话题词数难度建议时间广告与音乐有关的活动1944分钟(2016新课标全国卷III)MusicOpera at Music Hall：1243 Elm Street.

A 根据本段第一句中的内容可知作者每年总是会问自己的父亲能否不参加钢琴独奏会，仅此一次，下不为例。38. D 作者的父亲每年都会摇头，嘀咕建立自信之类的东西。此处表示的是肯定含义，something意为某物，某东西。39. A 根据本句中的building self-confidence可知作者的父亲鼓励作者要朝着一个目标奋斗。40. B 文章第一段提到作者非常害怕钢琴独奏会，总是想着逃避，但从未幸免，而父亲嘀咕的千篇一律的内容让作者颇为不满。如今，作者的父亲参加钢琴独奏会，作者自然幸灾乐祸，十分满足，更何况手中还有录像机。41. C 作者此时一心一意地想看父亲出洋相，自然会注意他的一举一动，发现年近古稀的父亲穿着衬衣还在出汗。42. D 根据第47空前面的For a moment after my father sat down at the keyboard可知，作者的父亲此时还没有开始演奏，所以他出汗是站起身来之前的表现。43. B 根据本句后半句中的内容可知他的家庭非常贫困，不能负担得起钢琴课的费用。44. A 他本可以继续为此遗憾，正如我们中太多的人所做的那样。45. C 根据下一句中的内容可知虽然过去不可改变，但是他并没有止步不前。此处stick表示卡住，陷入。46. D 42空后面提到他将要在首次的独奏会中弹奏钢琴，由此可知他退休后说服了对方收他为学生。47. B 根据下文中作者的担心可知作者的父亲只是盯着自己的手指，而不是像作者一样同时还要考虑其他的事情。48. C 作者的父亲马上就要开始演奏，可他关注的是自己的手指，作者担心他是否忘记了音符。49. A 根据第54空后面的I said to my son Jeff可知作者如今已经是成年人，由此可知那个尴尬的时刻发生在几十年前。此外，文章最后一段中的those 30-plus years ago也是线索提示。50. B 当时，有几秒钟作者的大脑一片空白，由此可知作者的手指僵住了，不知如何是好。52. B 根据空格处后面的内容可知作者意识到他的父亲一直在做音乐老师总是强调的内容。53. D 根据pretend the others arent there可知要把精力集中在音乐上，旁若无人。54. D 根据第50空后面的But then came the beautiful melody (旋律)可知作者父亲的表演很成功，所以作者为他感到骄傲。55. C 作者的父亲弹奏出了优美的旋律，作者感到非常自豪，再结合本句中的Yeah可知作者的儿子也深有同感，认为演奏得很好。III. 任务型读写体裁话题词数难度建议时间议论文文古典音乐32017分钟(2014安徽)Many people believe that classical music is not relevant music is not relevant to young people today. However, this issue (问题) frequently causes heated debate.Some people say that classical music is associated only with old people. For example, if you look at the audience at a classical concert, the majority is over the age of fifty.Others say it is more popular than we first imagine. Many young people listen to classical music without realising. It is often used in films and advertisements. For example, a famous piece of classical music was used as the theme music for the 1990 World Cup. Not many people could have given its name, but millions enjoyed it.Also, some people point out that young people produce new music based on classical ideas: for example, it is said that rap(说唱) music was invented by a classical musician in 1912, but it is now used by young people in pop music.However, young people point to the fact that classical music has been outstripped(超越) by technology. To play a classical instrument, such as a violin, you need to study hard and practise for hours. Nowadays, you dont need to get aching arms from practising. A teenager can write and make music using a computer program in the comfort of their own bedroom.A final point to in mind is that the term classical music is used to refer to a great variety of music, from jazz to pieces for large orchestras(管弦乐队).This makes it even more difficult to say whether classical music is relevant to young people.So, it may be only a minority of young people who play classical instruments, but when it comes to enjoying classical music, it depends on the piece of music. It may be more relevant to young people in the modern world than they realise!TitleClassical MusicIntroductionThe issue of whether classical music is (76) _ to young people causes heated debate.OpinionsEvidence Classical music is associated only with old peonl.

Students carry small radios with earphones and listen to music before class, after class, and at lunch. Students with cars buy large speakers and play the music loudly as they drive on the street.Adult drivers listen to music on the car radio as they drive to work. They also listen to the news about sports, the weather, and the life of American people. Most of the radio programmes are music.Pop or popular music singers make much money.

Studies show that public schools across the country are cutting back on music classes to save money. Worse, some schools have never had music classes to begin with. But without them, students academic growth and emotional health could suffer. In fact, music classes are necessary for all students in schools.Recent studies by Brown University have shown that students who received music education classes were better in math and reading skills than those without music classes. Another study by The College Board found that students taking music and art classes got higher points. Students academic success seems to depend on their taking part in music education.Music programs in public schools also help to add to a students sense of pride and selfconfidence. Teens today have too many learning tasks. Besides, they have family problems, selfconfidence problems, relationship troubles, and choices about drugs and alcohol. All of these can stop academic success, but music education can help. A study by The Texas Commission on Drug and Alcohol Abuse found that students who took part in school music programs were less likely to turn to drugs. Music programs encourage students to work together to produce an excellent performance.Music crosses language, class, cultural and political boundaries (界限). Music allows students from different countries to connect. For example, at a school talent show, a new Japanese student played a piano duet (二重奏) with an American classmate. Although they could not communicate verbally (口头上) , they were able to read the music in order to play the duet. Two students from different cultures worked as a team with selfconfidence and common purpose through music.The gift of music is priceless. We need to be sure to have necessary music classes for all students. The world is losing its music, and putting music into schools is the first step to get it back.5. Education with music c
