Jazz was created by black Americans. Many blacks were brought from Africa to America as slaves. The black slaves sang and played the music of their homeland.Jazz is a mixture of many different kinds of music. It is a combination (合并) of the music of west Africa, the work songs the slaves sang, and religious music. Improvisation(即兴创作)is an important jazz. This means that the musicians make the music up as they go along, or create the music on the spot. This is why a jazz song might sound a little different each time it is played. Jazz bands formed in the late nineteenth century. They played in bars and clubs in many towns and cities of the South, especially in New Orleans.New Orleans is an imitational seaport, and people from all over the world come to New Orleans to hear jazz.Jazz became more and more popular. By the 1920s, jazz was popular all over the United States. By the 1940s, you could hear jazz not only in clubs and bars, but in concert halls as well. Today, people from all over the world play jazz. Jazz musicians from the United States, Asia, Africa, South America, and Europe meet and share their music at festivals on every continent.

BSome people think that all wild animals are dangerous. Actually, very few of them will attack a man if he leaves them alone. If you met a lion or an elephant, suppose you would run away, but even a lion will keep away from a man unless it is very hungry. “Lions and tigers only kill and eat men when they have grown too old and too weak to catch their usual food, such as deer and other small animals. If you saw a wild elephant, perhaps you would be frightened. Elephants usually run away at once unless you attack them. Some animals get very frightened if they only smell a man, some take no notice but quietly walk in another direction. Wild animals only attack hunters when they are afraid that the hunters mean to harm their young ones, or when the hunters shoot at them and make them angry. 45.

This means a hostess may not seat a small group until a small table is available, even if a large one is. If you are sitting at a table with people you dont know, it is impolite to light up a cigarette without asking if it will disturb them.At American restaurants and coffee shops you are usually served tap water (自来水) before you order. You may find the bread and butter is free, and if you order coffee, you may get a free refill.Most cities and towns have no rules about opening and closing time for stores or restaurants, though they usually do make rules for bars. Especially in large cities, stores may be open 24 hours a day.Serving in restaurants is often large, too large for many people. If you cant finish your meal but would like to enjoy the food later, ask your waitress or waiter for a “doggie bag”. It may have a picture of a dog on it, but everybody knows youre taking the food for yourself.Supper and dinner are both words for the evening meal. Some people have “Sunday dinner”. This is an especially big noon meal.Tips are not usually added to the check. They are not included in the price of the meal, either. A tip of about 15% is expected and you should leave it on the table when you leave. In some restaurants, a check is brought on a plate and you put your money there. Then the waiter or waitress brings you your change. 49.Which statement is true?A. American people like sitting with people they dont know.B. A hostess always seats a small group at a large table.C.

But modern advertising does more than gives news about products and services. Todays advertisements, or ads, try to get consumers(消费者) to buy certain brands(品牌). Writers of advertising are so skillful that they can sometimes persuade a consumer to wear a certain kind of clothing, eat a special kind of cereal(麦片), or see a movie. Consumers might never even want a product if they did not see or hear advertisements for it. For example, you probably do not need the newest cereal in the supermarket. There are probably many cereal brands on your kitchen shelves. You may not have space on your shelf for another. But if you see ads about a new cereal that is your extra-tasty and has a free prize in the box, you may want it. Advertising must get attention. To be effective, it must be exciting, entertaining, or provide some pleasure. The secret of writing good advertising copy is to offer a good idea as well as a product. The idea is what the ad is really selling. One example is an ad that says eating a certain cereal will make a person do well in sports. That cereal brand may sell better if consumers think it offers strength and energy.57. What is discussed in this passage?A. The content of modern advertising. B. The skills of modern advertising.C. The results of modern advertising. D. The writing of modern advertising.58. According to the passage, a good advertisement should_.A. be both persuasive and effective B. give people useful informationC. show people a product D. show people a new idea of a product59. From the passage, we can infer that_.A. modern advertising has less effect on customersB. once customers see ads about a new cereal, they are sure to buy itC. cereal can make people strongD. cereal is a kind of food which is popular among people 60. What can we infer from the passage?A. Customers can easily be persuaded by advertisements.B. Customers should be persuaded by advertisements. C. Its impossible for customers to buy a product without advertisements.D.Customers buy products according to their demands rather than the advertisements. 四单词拼写 （根据所给的首字母或者汉语提示，写出符合句意的单词。每题1分，总分10分）61.The (受惊的)boy whose mother was lost in the disaster is looking for her.62.Some of the rescue workers and doctors were (围困)under the ruins.63.We are taking out (保险)to cover any problems.64.After （毕业）
