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 acplish is that my generation and younger start to reconsider and understand that jazz is not black and white 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 to talk about ourselves and how something 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 dialogue. Those are the things I want to foster.24. 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. 25.What does the underlined word “that” in paragraph 3 refer to? A. Jazz being more accessible. B. The production of jazz growing faster. C. Jazz being less popular with the young. D. The jazz audience being larger. 26. 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. 27.Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A. Exploring the Future of JazzB. The Rise and Fall of Jazz C. The Story of a Jazz MusicianD. Celebrating the Jazz DayCHow I Turned to Be OptimisticI began to grow up that winter night when my parents and I were returning from my aunts house, and my mother said that we might soon be leaving for America. We were on the bus then. I was crying, and some people on the bus were turning around to look at me. I remember that I could not bear the thought of never hearing again the radio program for school children to which I listened every morning.I do not remember myself crying for this reason again. In fact, I think I cried very little when I was saying goodbye to my friends and relatives. When we were leaving I thought about all the places I was going to seethe strange and magical places I had, known only from books and pictures. The country I was leaving never to e back was hardly in my head then.The four years that followed taught me the importance of optimism, but the idea did not e to me at once. For the first two years in New York I was really losthaving to study in three schools as a result of family moves. I did not quite know what I was or what I should be. Mother remarried, and things became even more plex for me. Some time passed before my stepfather and I got used to each other. I was often sad, and saw no end to the hard times.My responsibilities in the family increased a lot since I knew English better than everyone else at home. I wrote letters, filled out forms, translated at interviews with Immigration officers, took my grandparents to the doctor and translated there, and even discussed telephone bills with pany representatives.From my experiences I have learned one important rule: almost all mon troubles eventually go away! Something good is certain to happen in the end when you do not give up, and just wait a little! I believe that my life will turn out all right, even though it will not be that easy.28. How did the author get to know America?A. From her relatives. B. From her mother.C. From books and pictures. D. From radio programs.29. Upon leaving for America the author felt .A. confused B. excited C. worried D. amazed30. What can we learn about the author from Paragraph 4?A. She worked as a translator.B. She attended a lot of job interviews.C. She paid telephone bills for her family.D. She helped her family with her English.31. The author believes that .A. her future will be free from troublesB. it is difficult to learn to bee patientC. there are more good things than bad thingsD. good things will happen if one keeps trying DFacial expressions carry meaning that is determined by situations and relationships. For example, in American culture the smile is in general an expression of pleasure. Yet it also has other uses. A womans smile at a police officer does not carry the same meaning as the smile she gives to a young child. A smile may show love or politeness. It can also hide true feelings. It often causes confusion (困惑) across cultures. For example, many people in Russia consider smiling at strangers in public to be unusual and even improper. Yet many Americans smile freely at strangers in public places (although this is less mon in big cities). Some Russians believe that Americans smile in the wrong places; some Americans believe that Russians dont smile enough. In Southeast Asian culture, a smile is frequently used to cover painful feelings. Vietnamese people may tell a sad story but end the story with a smile.Our faces show emotions (情感), but we should not attempt to “read” people from another culture as we would “read” someone from our own culture. The fact that members of one culture do not express their emotions as openly as do members of another does not mean that they do not experience emotions. Rather, there are cultural differences in the amount of facial expressions permitted. For example, in public and in formal situations many Japanese do not show their emotions as freely as Americans do. When with friends, Japanese and Americans seem to show their emotions similarly.It is difficult to generalize about Americans and facial expressiveness because of personal and cultural differences in the United States. People from certain cultural backgrounds in the United States seem to be more facially expressive than others. The key is to try not to judge people whose ways of showing emotions are different. If we judge according to our own cultural habits, we may make the mistake of “reading” the other person incorrectly.32. What does the smile usually mean in the U.S?A. Joy.B. Politeness.C. Love. D. Thankfulness.33. The author mentions the smile of the Vietnamese to prove that smile can _.A. show friendliness to strangers B. be used to hide true feelingsC. be used in the wrong placesD. show personal habits34. What should we do before attempting to “read” people?A. Learn about their relations with others.B. Figure out what they will do next.C. Find out about their past experience.D. Understand their cultural backgrounds.35. What would be the best title for the test?A. Cultural Differences B. Smiles and RelationshipC. Facial Expressiveness D. Habits and Emotions第二节 （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。Your teen is falling asleep in classTeens have a busy morning schedule as they need to wake up and get moving very early in order to catch a bus and get to school by the required time.
