11、he formally received her award.Shes 66-far from retirement age in jazz, and on the extreme forward edge of the NEA Jazz Masters people. So she was aware of her relative youth in the field She also recognized that there havent been many women in the ranks of NEA Jazz Masters: fewer than 20, out of 14

12、5. That idea led her to reflect on her predecessors (前任): legendary singers like Betty Carter* who was seated back in 1992, and Abbey Lincoln, who received the nod in 2003.Bridgewater sought inspiration and advice from both Carter and Lincoln, as she recalls in this period of Jazz Night, which featu

13、res music recorded during the season opener for Jazz at Lincoln Center. On a program called “Songs of Freedom”, organized by drummer Ulysses Owens, Jr., Bridgewater sang material associated with Lincoln as well as Nina Simone: an extremely angry song of the civil rights movement, like “Mississippi G

14、oddam”.A separate concert, “Songs We Love”, found Bridgewater singing less politically charged (but still exciting) fare like “St. James Infirmary”, which appears on her most recent album. In words as well as music, this period reveals how seriously Bridgewater takes that responsibility, seeing as h

15、ow it connects to her own experience in the jazz lineage. But maybe “seriously” isnt the right word when it comes to Dee Dee, whose effervescence (欢腾) shines through even in a reflective mood. Join her here for a while; shes excellent company, no more or less so now that mastery is officially a part

16、 of her resume.1、What did Bridgewater think of her winning the award?AIt confused her.BIt was beyond her expectation.CIt won great popular support for her.DIt gave her much confidence about her career.2、What can we learn about the musicians winning NEA Jazz Masters?AWomen ranked higher than men.BMen

Whether you wanted to play games, read the news,

19、or do a thousand other things, there was something for whatever you desired.Then something funny happened. Logging into the App Store today is like going into a shopping mall with only a coupon(优惠券) for one thing: Theres so much choice; it might be easier to give up than to choose.It isnt consumers

20、who are burdened, though. Too much content of all kinds also has economic effects. When countless choices are available, it causes pressure, pushing prices down and driving us a bit crazy.So what is the way forward? It may well be to turn less choice itself to the marketing strategy. There are alrea

21、dy signs that this is happening. Firstly content companies are looking to prevent their offerings from getting lost in the tons of stuff. Most obvious is Disney, which is planning to open its own streaming service next year. The point is to narrow the focus so that those seeking Disney cartoons will

22、 have one place to go, rather than being around various services.Yet if that represents a careful first step, there are more extreme options too. Consider the idea of a wine club: from tens of thousands of bottles each year, subscribers pay someone to select the most interesting ones. Perhaps what c

23、omes next for digital content is similar-carefully selected offerings from trusted sources that put choices in the hands of someone else in order to get rid of the anxiety of choosing.Up to now, too much choice in digital media has only one solution: the algorithm（运算法则） But we ve seen the trouble wi

24、th algorithms on You Tube They feed you only what youve already said you like, not things you may not know you re into. Worse, they have a tendency to serve up disturbing content he way forward cant simply be more or better algorithms.Instead, its time for digital companies to start thinking about h

25、ow to put limits on things: on how much we can use a device, or what we are available to choose from.As we move further into the digital revolution, what people ask for is clear: Less.1、What will too much choice of content on the market result in?AThe shutdown of companies BThe anxiety of consumersC

26、The poor quality of products DThe slowdown of economy2、Which of the following statements is TRUE according to Paragraphs 4 and 5?AContent companies should withdraw their offerings onlineBContent companies should post their offerings on App StoreCContent companies adopt different methods to narrow th

27、e consumers focusDContent companies open their own streaming services on You Tube3、How do algorithms probably respond to consumers needs?AThey make a better choice for them BThey help to remove disturbing contentCThey change their interest in digital media DThey fail to offer what they possibly like

28、4、What is the authors attitude towards limiting the choice consumers haveAApproving. BSkepticalCOpposing. DNeutral23（8分） In America，the number of people killed in car crashes in 2016 was above 40，000 for the first time in a decade，data released on Wednesday shows“Americans believe there is nothing w

29、e can do to stop crashes from happening，but that isnt trueWe are behind the rest of the developed world in addressing highway fatalities(死亡)We just havent been willing to do what needs to be done，”said Deborah APHersman，president of the National Safety CouncilThe National Safety Council data shows a

30、 6 percent increase in deaths in 2018 when compared with 2015 and a 3 percent increase in the number of miles Americana drove in 2016“Motor vehicle fatality numbers have been ringing the alarm for two years，”Hersman said“Unfortunately，we have been blind to the data and the killings on our roadwaysIf

31、 we fail to take action，the death tell will continue to rise”“The trend is clear：After years of progress，highway deaths are heading in the wrong direction，”said Jonathan Adkins，a state safety officialThe number of people killed reached a record low of 32，675 in 2014，according to NHTSA statisticsThat

32、 record followed a fairly steady downward track for the past six years that experts attributed it primarily to safety features that have been built into cars and trucksSafety advances including increased seat-belt use，air bags，anti-lock braking，stability controls and electronic warnings and camerasT

33、he bad economy and high gas prices also influenced the reduction in deathsNow，with unemployment and gas prices both low，more people are driving for work and pleasure trips“Its not just that Americans drive more miles when the economy improves ；its the kind of miles they drive，”said Adrian Lund，presi

37、r thought about having plastic surgery?” the friend asks.“Dude, this is after plastic surgery. It takes a lot of work to look this good,” Auggie says, running a hand through his hair. In other words, what could be painfully depressing turns out to hold lurking(潜藏的) reserves of humour, which is prett

38、y much the story of Wonder.Auggie, played by Jacob Tremblay, was born with a facial difference, and even after multiple operations, his looks shock his classmates. As he adapts from homeschooling to a new school community, he encounters far worse than that lunchtime sceneone nasty bully(横行霸道者) says

39、hed kill himself if he looked like Auggiebut he never fully loses heart.The movie is an adaptation of the 2012 novel by R.J.Palacio, which has sold 6 million copies in North America and launched an antibullying campaign, Choose Kind. Palacio has said she got the idea for the story when her young son

40、 began crying at the sight of a girl with a facial difference in an ice cream shop. She took her kids out of the shop, but later regretted her reaction. “What I should have done is simply turned to the little girl and started up a conversation and shown my kids that there was nothing to be afraid of

41、,” she said.Tremblay, 11, who broke out opposite Brie Larson in the 2015 drama Room, has more than a few things in common with Auggie. “We both love Star Wars, we have awesome families, and we love our dogs.” But Tremblay thinks we all can find something in common with the boy. “Everyones like Auggi

42、e in one very important way: we want to be accepted and treated equally and with kindness.”Julia Roberts, who plays Auggies mother, became interested in the part because of her own children, “I read it with my kids and fell so in love with it,” she says of the novel. “This book is such a beautiful a

43、nd gentle introduction into all kinds of topics, including bullying and intolerance and fear, and what fear makes young people do sometimes.”Both actors have some familiarity with the subject. “I was picked on quite a bit as a young person,” Roberts says, though she wont say what for. “Even as a 50-

44、year-old mother of three, its not a path I like to go up and down.” Tremblay reveals a bit more. “I have been picked on,” he says, “because Im kind of short for me age. I told my parents, and thats one of the best things you can do, because my mom said would never want me to carry negative thoughts

45、on my shoulders alone.”The most challenging parts of filming, says Tremblay, were moments in which he had to cry. Tenderhearted audience members will likely shed tears of their ownespecially during scenes between Auggie and his mom, who repeatedly reassures her son that he is worthy of love. But the

46、 movie also has its fair share of hijinks(喧闹): for every tear-filled moment, there is a lightsaber battle or silly science project to lighten the mood. This mixture of pity and humor, says Roberts, “was intrinsic(固有的) in the writing in the novel.” But she credits writer-director Stephen Chbosky with

47、 translating that balance into visual terms.As much as the movie impresses the viewer with compassion for the underdogs, it also finds a way to sympathize with the bullies. “I would say to try to take a moment to be conscious of why a person that is bullying somebody is behaving that way,” says Robe

48、rts, “After all”, she adds, “Theres no child thats born bully.”1、How did Auggie respond to his friends question?AHe felt so embarrassed that he kept reserved.BHe flew off the handle the moment he heard it.CHe answered in a calm but humourous way.DHe spent quite a while finding the right words.2、What

49、 inspired the story of Wonder?AA campaign against bullying in North America.BPalacios kids being picked on by their classmates.CPalacios conversation with a girl in an ice cream shop.DThe way Palacio treated a girl with a facial difference.3、According to the passage, the theme of the movie Wonder is

50、 _.Asimilar to that of the drama RoomBfocused on the safety of plastic surgeryCdiverse and closely relevant to personal growthDa reflection of minority groups fate in America4、What does paragraph 7 mainly talk about?AHow Julia Roberts got to know Jacob Tremblay.BLeading actors recalling similar expe

51、riences to those in Wonder.CJacob Tremblays breakthrough in his acting career.DWhat influence Jacob Tremblays mother has on his growth.5、According to Julia Roberts, Stephen Chbosky _.Ais a great lover of Star Wars and wild animalsBwas moved to tears by Jacob Tremblays actingCis qualified to adapt sc

The compatible plants ge

53、nerally have similar needs for nutrients, soil and moisture.Advice for companion plantings is sometimes based more on tradition than proof. But Fabian Fernandez at the University of Illinois says there is evidence for some combinations. These can lead to better crops, reduce disease and help with pe

54、st control by attracting helpful insects. For example, some kinds of soil bacteria take nitrogen(氮) from the air and make a form that plants can use. The plants keep the nitrogen in their roots. Legumes(豆类) are especially good at this. Any crops sharing the same space can get the nitrogen as the roo

55、ts decompose(腐烂).Crops like beans and potatoes, carrots and cabbages, beans and rice can also share territory well because their roots reach different levels in the soil. Deep-rooted vegetables get nutrients and moisture from lower down, so they do not compete with shallower plants. But some plants

56、placed together may harm each others development. For example, tomatoes do not like wet soil but watercress does, as the name suggests. So you would probably not want to put them together.Even after harvest, some kinds of produce should be kept apart. Apples, for example, release ethylene gas,a plan

57、t hormone. It can cause other foods to ripen(成熟)too quickly. Markets often separate high ethylene-producing foods from those that are sensitive to the gas. But sometimes you might want them together. For example, if you put an apple in a bag with a green banana, the banana will be ready to eat soone

58、r.Now what about peaches, plums and nectarines that are too firm to eat? Growers in California answer this question at . They say an apple,a banana or a riper piece of fruit is not needed. The peaches, plums and nectarines themselves release enough of the gas to ripen successfully.Heres their advice

59、: place the fruit in afruit bowl or in a paper bag with the top folded over. Keep the fruit at room temperature. When the fruit is soft enough to your liking, either use it or place it in a refrigerator to stop further ripening.1、What are the basic needs for companion planting?AGood old companions.

60、BSome kinds of soil bacteria.CNutrients, soil and moisture. DHelpful insects.2、What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 most probably mean?ATo some extent, companion planting relies more on traditional experience.BIn the field of companion planting, proof always speaks louder than tradition.
