A

This was going to be a year of great jazz centennials(百年纪念)for 1920 marked the birth of several jazz musicians who cither changed the course of the music or deeply enriched it. So let's raise a glass to some of them:

Charlie Parker(August 29, 1920-March 12, 1955)

Of all the jazz languages that coursed through the 20th century, no one did more than Parker, for he developed complex improvisational(即兴)methods that transformed the way musicians understand harmony and dissonance. The fact that Parker also happened to be a most influential saxophone player broadened the scope of his achievements.

Dave Brubeck(December 6, 1920-December 5, 2012)

Early in his long career, pianist-composer Brubeck was laughed at by some jazz lovers. How could a musician so popular among the masses possibly have anything to offer those who considered themselves “masters”? The joke was on them, of course, as Brubeck's music was filled with new ideas in rhythm, embracing elements of Western classical music. No one played the piano quite the way Brubeck did.

Clark Terry(December 14, 1920-February 21, 2015)

Some musicians are at least as important for the influence they have on others as for the music they create themselves. Trumpet masters such as Miles Davis have credited Terry for having encouraged them in the earliest days of their careers. Terry's work on trumpet affected those trumpeters and uncounted others.

Peggy Lee(May 26, 1920-January 21, 2002)

Singer-songwriter Lee proved that a vocalist needn't shout to be heard around the world. Her soft vocals delighted jazz devotees and brought the music to huge audiences across the decades, thanks to hit recordings such as “Fever” and “Is That All There Is?” There were no vocal skills involved. Instead, Lee taught the jazz world the beauty of saying everything with a few well-chosen notes.

21. Who changed the way musicians understand harmony and dissonance?

A. Charlie Parker.   B. Dave Brubeck.  C. Clark Terry.   D. Peggy Lee.

22. Why was Brubeck looked down upon by “masters"?

A. He played music for a longer time

B. They didn't recognize his excellence.

C. He played the piano in a traditional way.

D. They had nothing to learn from him.

23. What is special about Peggy Lee?

A. Her unique piano playing.  B. Her great influence on others.

C. Her beautiful singing voice D. Her mixture of western music.

B

A man wearing sunglasses grabs the mic and stands in a relaxed posture ready to make the audience laugh. Seeing how easily he moves, one can hardly notice that the stylish comedian, Gao Xiang, has any problems with vision.

Gao was diagnosed with the rare eye disease—Stargardt. Initially, he refused to accept the cruel situation. He kept escaping the fact until 2013, when he could use the computer more efficiently with the help of special programs designed to help visually disabled people . Consequently, he got the courage to be frank about his impairment(缺陷) and found that people didn't care about the problem as he had imagined. His working ability also helped remove any feelings of inferiority that he had. He tried to become mentally stronger to accept reality and get his life back on track.

Two years ago, he decided to become a full-time stand-up comedian. What has been motivating Gao to be so active in the comedy industry is his eagerness to draw the public's attention to the disease. “As it is a rare disease, medical institutions and companies might lack the driving force to make great efforts to find a cure, ”he says. “I want to unite the patients in China and voice out loud our urgent demands. ”

Besides, he and two friends launched a public account on WeChat called Stargardt Care Center, through which they share inspiring stories of people suffering from the eye disorder, instructions for those on how to use computers and translations of foreign essays that explore the possibilities of curing the disease. By now, the account has managed to attract more than 1, 000 Stargardt patients and their family members. And some Non- Governmental Organisations also have got in touch with them to see if they could provide help to the community.

“Stand-up comedy has saved me and enabled me to meet interesting people and do what is worth doing, ”Gao says.

24. What does the underlined word “inferiority” in paragraph 2 mean?

A. Being proud.  B. Being bored.   C. Being unconfident.  D. Being modest.

25. What drove Gao to become a comedian?

A. His eagerness for money.    B. His faith in challenging himself.

C. His ability in performance.   D. His desire to fight the disease.

26. What can people do with the Gao's public account?

A. The visually disabled can learn computer skills.

B. Experts can provide medical help for the patients.

C. Patients can read original articles about the disease.

D. Comedians can post jokes to meet interesting people

27. Which of the following could best describe Gao Xiang?

A. Sensible and tolerant.  B. Positive and inspiring.

C. Talented and aggressive.  D. Enthusiastic and punctual

C

Where should you live? How should you spend your time? For centuries, people have relied on their instincts to figure out the answers to these life-changing questions. But there is a better way now. We are living through a data explosion, as vast amounts of information about all aspects of human behaviour have become more and more accessible.

We can use this big data to help determine the best course to chart.

Researchers have found algorithms(算法)can be much better than people at making difficult decisions. The power of data analysis has been proved in the sports and business worlds, too. As made famous by the book and movie Moneyball, baseball teams found

that algorithms were better than managers at picking strategies.

But stats(统计数据)have had surprisingly little impact on our personal lives . One major problem is that good data about life's biggest personal questions has been difficult to gain. Consider this question: what makes people happy? Some have revealed the activities that provide far more enjoyment than most of us would have guessed, such as exercising, going to a museum and gardening. Then there are the things that give us less pleasure than we might assume, such as playing video games, watching TV and browsing the Internet. Another way to be happier is moving house. They found that when people moved from an unhappy city to a happier place, their overall mood improved.

There are early days of the data revolution in personal decision-making. A study of tens of millions of children has found the places that increase their future earnings most. Another shows certain cities can improve one's life expectancy. I am not claiming that we can completely base our lifestyle choices on algorithms, though we might get to that point in the future. I am claiming instead that we can all dramatically improve our decision- making by consulting evidence from millions of people who faced dilemmas similar to ours via big data.

28. How can people make better decisions now?

A. By doing plenty of interviews.  B. By relying on accessible big data.

C. By using common sense of life.  D. By following others' life behavior.

29. Why is the movie Moneyball mentioned in paragraph 2?

A. To suggest managers handle their players.

B. To inform data can improve players' skills.

C. To show baseball is popular in sports world.

D. To prove algorithms can make better decisions.

30. What makes people happier than we guess according to paragraph 3?

A. Visiting a museum.     B. Surfing the Internet.

C. Playing video games.     D. Moving to a bigger city.

31. What does the author conclude in the end?

A. The big data can increase our future earnings.

B. The big data can prolong our life expectancy.

C. We can improve decision-making via big data.

D. We can develop our lifestyle in different ways.

D

While it may sound like something that has crawled out of your nightmares, cyborg cockroaches(蟑螂)have arrived as friends rather than foes . Scientists have designed a new remote controlled insect, equipped with a battery“backpack”that is powered by solar panels.

The cockroach, which is part insect and part machine, is intended to enter dangerous areas, monitor the environment or undertake search and rescue missions without being recharged. The researchers had to install some components into a tiny pack to allow for the cockroach's natural movements.

The cockroaches are still alive, but sensory organs attached to the end of their bodies send electrical impulses that cause the insect to move right or left. A battery is necessary for the sending and receiving of these electrical signals, which needs to be charged up. While it's possible to build docking stations for recharging the battery, they need to return and it could disrupt time-sensitive missions. To solve the tough problem, the team wanted to create a more practical version that does not need to return to a docking station when it runs out of power.

Therefore, they designed an on-board solar cell that could continuously ensure that the cockroach stays charged while it works. However, cockroaches have a limited surface area available for all the components necessary to move its legs and keep it powered. The solution was to design a special “backpack” that could neatly carry both the wireless leg- control module and rechargeable battery. This was attached to the top of the insect on its front, and was 3D printed to fit perfectly to the curved surface of cockroach. It allowed for this electronic device to be stably fixed on the insect for over a month, while leaving enough space to implant the solar panel.

Famously able to survive a nuclear war, cockroaches have been the inspiration for a number of technologies in recent years. Different teams of scientists have designed remote-controlled robo-bugs that can climb walls, carry objects and find humans during search-and-rescue missions.

32. What is a cyborg cockroach?

A. A tiny backpack with a solar panel.

B. A robot working as a power station.

C. A kind of bug discovered by scientists.

D. An insect remote-controlled by humans.

33. What is a big challenge to create cyborg cockroaches?

A. The components are too small.

B. Recharging can delay urgent tasks.

C. Sending electrical impulses is dangerous.

D. Their organs can't receive signals timely.

34. What do we know about the cyborg cockroaches in paragraph 4?

A. The special backpack is fixed on their legs.

B. 3D printing solves all problems perfectly.

C. They have a limited surface to store power,

D. They can still get charged while working.

35. What is the best title of the passage?

A. A Solar Powered Cockroach B. The Future of Rescue Mission

C. New Recharged Solar Panels D. Cockroaches' Special Backpack

阅读下面材料, 根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段, 使其构成一篇完整的短文。

“Tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow, Creeps in this petty pace from day to day. ”What crosses your mind when you think of tomorrow? Some people think of the future literally like the next day. To others, it means the unknown. To me, it signifies hope.

Every day, on the way to and from school I pass by a children's hospital. One morning, as I was hurrying to school, I noticed a child staring out of a small window on the first floor. The next minute I tripped(绊倒)and sprawled on the ground. As I slowly pulled myself up and dusted myself off, I looked up again and saw the child laughing. In spite of my situation, I was pleased to have made someone laugh. I bowed as though I were a performer. The child clapped and waved at me. As I stepped closer, I saw that the girl's head was bald, a sign that she was a cancer patient. I quickly waved one last time to her before heading for the school

The next morning and the next, I looked out for the little girl and waved to her, doing a little jig just to make her laugh. I thought about her and wondered what her life must be like. Was that how the child lived from day to day?

I felt the urge to visit the child. I went to the hospital and looked for the room facing the road. I found the little girl. She was thin and pale. When she saw me, her eyes widened with recognition and she welcomed me with a shy smile. I talked to her a bit and learned her name, Suki. The nurse who saw me talking to her later told me that Suki was a leukemia( 白血病)patient . Her mother died two years ago and her father was now on duty outside the country. The nurse encouraged me to visit Suki so that she would not be so lonesome. As I was leaving, Suki called to me, “Tomorrow?” I understood and said,

“Yes, tomorrow. ”

注意：

1. 续写词数应为150左右；

2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。

After that, I popped in to visit Suki after school every day.

_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Two months later, Suki told me the good news.
