But I didnt follow the path most new jazz artists take and produced original albums instead. I believe when you have something to say, you cant really keep it down.Two of those original albums, Liquid Spirit and Take Me To The Alley, earned me a loyal fan base and two Grammys for best jazz album in 2020 and 2020 respectively.My idol is Nat King Cole, whose music has an important place in our household. I could smell the greens on the stove and the cornbread in the oven when I hear Nats music. I wanted to have his music come through my body and sing it as an expression of appreciation for him. My mother had always been a fan of his music. This is something I did one day: Imagine her coming home from some protest movement or march and putting on, “Smile though your heart is aching, smile even though its breaking.” Imagine her putting on, “Pick yourself up, dust yourself off, start all over again.” I see the optimism and the strength in his music.Writing from a personal experience can bring about my feelings and power of feelings that can be instantly connected to the instrument and my voice. When I sing Mothers Song, Insanity, even Holding On, I am expressing things I have a connection to.The song Holding On is a soul song. It connects to Nat King Cole with its optimism, the optimism about the power and the strength of love. I like the fact that I can have 17 to 25-year-olds all over the world jumping and dancing to this song. Theyre still getting the message.24. How did the writer start his career as a musician?A. By copying his idol. B. By singing for awards.C. By covering the standards. D. By creating original music.25. Whats paragraph three mainly about?A. The writers childhood experience.B.

The dream of the writers mother has come true.B. The writers music is influencing young people.C. Nat King Coles jazz music is highly valued by all.D. Optimism is the soul of the writers original songsCThe new high-speed railway line between Urumqi，capital of the Xinjiang Uygur Self-governing Region，and Lanzhou，capital of Gansu Province，has cut train travel time by half to less than 12 hours.The dramatic improvement will benefit many families planning reunions for Spring Festival.“For the first time，I feel home is not that far away after all，”said Liang Shaofu as he boarded a high-speed train in Urumqi with six members of his family.The 35yearold left Lanzhou to set up a dry fruit business in Xinjiang eight years ago，and he has now settled in Urumqi.The 1,776km line，which passes through Qinghai Province and is the countrys first high-speed railway to be built in a high-altitude region，came into service on Dec.26.“We normally drive home for Spring Festival to avoid the difficulties of buying seven train tickets for the whole family during the peak season，”Liang said.“Driving can be very tiring and dangerous sometimes，so one year we even decided not to go back to Lanzhou simply to avoid the trip.”More than 600,000 passengers traveled on the line during its first month，and the Urumqi Railway Bureau said the introduction of high-speed services will ease transport pressure during the Spring Festival peak season.The existing usual railway line could no longer support Xinjiangs development. All passenger trains will gradually shift to the new link，leaving the old one to be used for goods. As a result，Xinjiangs annual goods ability could reach 200 million metric tons from the current 70 million.The line passes through areas that experience high winds，and it also crosses parts of the deserted Qinghai Tibet Plateau and the bonedry sands of the Gobi Desert.The project could help China to promote its high-speed railway technology abroad，said Ma Xizhang，director of the LanzhouXinjiang railway projects management department in Xinjiang.28How long did it take to go from Urumqi to Lanzhou by the usual train before?AAbout 12 hour BAbout 6 hours .CAbout 18 hours. DAbout 24 hours.29Whats the main advantage of the new high-speed railway?AIt takes more time to go from Urumqi to Lanzhou.BIt will be more convenient for people all over the country to go to Xinjiang.CAll the people in Lanzhou can return home on festivals.DIt helps to improve Xinjiangs development.30From the passage we can learn .AXinjiangs annual goods ability can increase nearly four timesBThe new railway technology may help more railway lines to be built abroadCThe high-speed railway lines cant be built across the bonedry sandsDThe old railway lines can only carry goods now31Which of the following is true according to the passage?AThe new high-speed railway line is good for all people to go home.BThe new high-speed railway line benefits businessmen to carry goods.CTaking the new train is safer than driving home from Urumqi to Lanzhou.DBusinessmen seldom went home for Spring Festival before.DNature has its own way of balancing itself out, but when we humans get involved, we tend to throw things out of control. Forests and oceans are natural carbon sinks that absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, but since weve been pumping too much into the air, those sinks cant keep up.Scientists at the Max Planck Institute in Germany, led by biologist Tobias Erb, have figured out a way to supercharge plants to make them better at absorbing CO2, which could be a key defense against climate change.Erb and his team figured out a way to make plants more efficient at absorbing carbon, so that they consumed more carbon in a shorter amount of time. “If you think about plants, they are efficient CO2-fixing filters, but they are not fast,” Erb said. “I think there is a chance to improve existing biology with synthetic(人造的) biology.”Erbs team identified 17 enzymes(酶) from nine different organisms, re-engineering three of them, that had an enlarged carbon consumption. When those enzymes worked together as a team, they worked better at not only plants natural enzymes, but also themselves individually. Existing enzymes in plants consume about 5 to 10 molecules(摩尔) of CO2 per second. The team of enzymes that Erb used consumed 80 molecules per second.So far, these enzymes have only been tested in test tubes in the lab, but the next step is real world testing where the enzymes would be introduced into plants to see if the same result occurs. If those tests show that plants really can be supercharged, we could have a new tool in the fight against climate change where not only do we protect the amazing carbon-absorbing forests we have, but we also add these super plants or an artificial leaf technology using the enzymes into other mixed fields.32. Why cant forests and oceans balance nature?A. Because oceans and forests are getting smaller.B. Because we human beings give off too much CO2.C. Because a large number of forests are cut down.D. Because there are too many creatures in the world.33. Which is the key defense against climate change according to Erb and his team?A. To increase the plants ability and efficiency to absorb CO2.B. To make oceans and forests to absorb more CO2 quickly.C. To reduce the humans activities giving off too much CO2.D. To increase the number of plants in the world.34. What can we get from the last paragraph?A. The enzymes have proved useful in real world.B. The technology has worked against climate change.C. The enzymes have not been used in the lab.D. The technology may have a bright future.55. This passage is intended to _.A. introduce a possible way to better plants ability of absorbing CO2B. call on people to pay more attention to the balance of natureC. analyze the cause and result of climate change related to plantsD. explore the possibility of using plants to fight against climate change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。选项中有两个选项为多余选项。Many of us deal with the rush every morning in preparation for work or school, but it doesnt have to be this way. With a little time management, these steps can help you cut down on your morning stress.Create an evening preparation routine.36 These simple tasks will take you less than 30 minutes to complete each evening and will save you a huge headache every morning.Get a good nights sleep.Make sure you start winding down for bed at a reasonable hour to allow enough time for a healthy nights sleep. 37 If needed, set a bedtime reminder alarm on your alarm clock. Always keep the temperature in your bedroom comfortably cool.38 .An extra 30 minutes in the morning will make a difference.
