Musicians often called him Pops, as a sign of respect for his influence on the world of music.Born in 1901 in New Orleans, he grew up poor, but lived among great musicians. Jazz was invented in the city a few years before his birth. Armstrong often said, “Jazz and I grew up together.”Armstrong showed a great talent for music when he was taught to play the comet (短号) at a boys home. In his late teens, Armstrong began to live the life of a musician. He played in parades, clubs, and on the steamboats that traveled on the Mississippi River. At that time, New Orleans was famous for the new music of jazz and was home to many great musicians. Armstrong learned from the older musicians and soon became respected as their equal.In 1922 he went to Chicago. There, the tale of Louis Armstrong begins. From then until the end of his life, Armstrong was celebrated and loved wherever he went- Armstrong had no equal when it came to playing the American popular song.His comet playing had a deep humanity (仁爱) and warmth that caused many listeners to say, “Listening to Pops just makes you feel good all over.” He was the father of the jazz style and also one of the best-known and most admired people in the world.

By mistake, President Clintons advisers thought that Koreans have the same naming customs as the Japanese. Clinton had not been told that, in Korea, wives keep their family names. President Kim Young Sams wife was named Sohn Myong Suk. Therefore, she should be addressed as Mrs. Sohn.President Clinton arrived in Korea directly after leaving Japan and had not changed his culture gears. His failure to follow Korean customs gave the impression that Korea was not as important to him as Japan.In addition to Koreans, some Asian husbands and wives do not share the same family names. This practice often puzzles English-speaking teachers when talking with a pupils parents. They become puzzled about the students correct last name. Placing the family name first is common among a number of Asian cultures.Mexican naming customs are different as well. When a woman marries, she keeps her family name and adds her husbands name after the word de (of). This affects how they fill in forms in the United States. When requested to fill in a middle name, they generally write the fathers family name. But Mexicans are addressed by the family name of the mother. This often causes puzzlement.Here are a few ways to deal with such difficult situations: dont always think that a married woman uses her husbands last name. Remember that in many Asian cultures, the order of first and last names is reversed (颠倒). Ask which name a person would prefer to use. If the name is difficult to pronounce, admit it, and ask the person to help you say it correctly.28. The story of Bill Clinton is used toA. improve US Korean relationsB. introduce the topic of the textC. describe his visit to KoreaD. tell us how to address a person39. The word “gears” in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to .A. action plansB. naming customsC. travel mapsD. thinking patterns30.

To address a married woman properly, youd betterA. use her middle nameB. use her husbands first nameC. ask her which name she likesD. change the order of her namesDWhat are your retirement plans? Keep working? Get more exercise? Or learn something new? You may put them on hold. Theres chance that, sooner or later, you might have to move further than you were thinking. As far as Mars (火星).On Thursday, National Geographic will show the first ever Mars showhome, giving earthlings an idea of what their life could look like on the Red Planet. Set in the not-so-distant year of 2037, the igloo-shaped structure could be the home of your future.It shows a house built using recycled spacecraft parts and Martian soil, called regolith, which has been microwaved into bricks. Some parts of the home are recognizable-kitchen, bedroom-but there are fundamental differences that are vital for human survival.As the Martian atmosphere is around one hundredth as thick as the Earths, people will need permanent shelter from the sun and society will move largely indoors. Most buildings will be connected by underground passages and the houses wont have windows. The homes will have simulated solar lighting, or natural light that has been bent several times.Walls will need to be 10 to 12 feet thick, to protect people from dangerous rays that can pass through six feet of steel, and a double air-locked entrance keep the home under proper pressure.“We dont think of our houses as things that keep us alive, but on Mars your house will be a survival centre,” says Stephen Petranek, author of How Well Live on Mars. This is not just the stuff of sci-fi. “Ten to twenty years from now there will certainly be people on Mars,” Petranek says.“Weve had the technology for 30 years to land people on Mars, but we havent had the will, ” Petranek says. But two main factors have “completely swung public attitudes”.The private companies, participation has forced government agencies to up their game, and influential films such as Gravity and The Martian have caught societys eye.32. What can we know about the showhome from the text?A. It has no windows or doors due to security concern.B. Its design presents the idea of environmental protection.C. It has thick walls keeping the home under proper pressure.D. Its underground passages connect all the buildings together.33. What does the underlined words “put them on hold” in Paragraph 1 probably mean?A. Put them off.B. Give them away.C. Carry them through.D. Take them seriously34. According to Petranek, what has sped up the process of sending people to Mars?A. The great influence of Mars showhome.B. The development of related technology.C. The competition from private companies.D. The popularity of influential books on Mars.35. What is the best title for the text?A. Living on Mars: Possible or NotB. Sending People to Mars: Yes or NoC. First Ever Showhome: How Is It MadeD. Future Home on Mars: What Will It Be Like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。Does the thought of talking in front of people make you embarrassed? 36 Many people in the world suffer from mild to extreme shyness and are struggling to overcome it.
