• 3．Some of the world's most famous musicians recently gathered in Paris and New Orleans to celebrate the first annual International Jazz Day．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（聯(lián)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．
     It's Jason Moran's job to help change that． As the Kennedy Center's 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 it's not really a part of the American appetite，" Moran tells National Public Radio's reporter Neal Conan． "What I'm hoping to accomplish is that my generation and younger start to reconsider and understand that jazz is not black and write anymore．It's actually color，and it's actually digital．"
     Moran says one of the problems with jazz today is that the entertainment aspect of the music has been lost． "The music can't 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 Waller's 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，it's 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 as 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 dialogues．Those are the things I want to foster．"
  
  （1）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．
  （2）What does the underlined word "that" in paragraph 3 refer to？

  
  A．Jazz becoming more accessible．
  B．The production of jazz growing faster．
  C．Jazz being less popular with the young．
  D．The jazz audience becoming larger．
  （3）What can we infer about Moran's 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．
  （4）Which of the following can be the best title for the text？

  
  A．Exploring the Future of Jazz．
  B．The Rise and Fall of Jazz．
  C．The Story of a Jazz Musician．
  D．Celebrating the Jazz Day．

• 9．閱讀下面材料，根據(jù)其內(nèi)容和所給段落開頭語續(xù)寫兩段，使之構(gòu)成一篇完整的短文。
      Walter John was a 20-year-old college student from Homewood，Alabama.As a young man in college far away from home，he didn't have much money.He had to work part-time to cover his living costs.
      Recently he gave up his part-time job in the fast-food business and found a new one at a home-moving company called Bellhops.The pay for his new job was higher，and John gained more flexibility with his hours，which allowed him to focus on his studies a bit more.He wanted to do everything he could to secure this new employment opportunity，so he thought he had to try his best to make sure that everything would go well on his first day!
      But sometimes，life hits you unexpectedly.A day before John began his new job，his car broke down!With little money to his name，he couldn't have his car repaired at the garage.None of his friends were able to take him to work.What was worse，the public transportation was not running at his working time.If he took a taxi，it would cost him half his salary.
      Therefore，he decided to walk to the company.
      In order to get there by six in the morning，he thought that the safest way would be to leave at midnight.John even challenged himself to arrive there one hour earlier.Even though it seemed like such a far walk，John knew he was fit enough to do it.This was challenging，but John knew it was possible.
      He grabbed his wallet and his phone and left his apartment.As soon as he stepped out of the door，he realized that walking alone in the dark at midnight can be dangerous.Moreover，he had to walk through a large wood as well as many blocks of the city.Therefore，he went back to take a bat（球棒）and a kitchen knife for safety purposes.In case a wild animal or some bad person attacked him，at least he would have something for protection.
  注意：
  1.續(xù)寫詞數(shù)應(yīng)為 150 左右；
  2.請按如下格式在答題卡的相應(yīng)位置作答。
      Finally John started his long walk._________
      At that time，a car was drawing closer.__________
