30.2020,the worlds most famous musicians met online to celebrate the tenthInternational Jazz Day.with the hope to revive jazz music and explore its possibility as aunifying voice across cultures.Despite the celebrations,though,the jazz audience continues to grow older because themusic has failed to attract the younger generations.Its their job to help change that.Jason Moran,the Kennedy Centers artistic adviser for jazz,was one of the musicians.He hopes to widen the audience for jazz and make the music more accessible and enjoyable.“Jazz seems like its not really a part of the American appetite（胃 口）.Moran tellsNational Public Radios reporter Neal Conan.I hope that the younger generations understandthat jazz is not black anymore.Its actually colorful,and its actually digital.Moran says one of the problems with jazz today is that the fun side of the music hasbeen lost.“Today,the music cant be presented the way it was in 1908 or 1958.It has tocontinue to move,because the way the world works is not the same.says Moran.Last year,Moran worked on a project that arranged Fats Wallers music for a dance party,“I just wanted to put it back in the mind that Waller is dance music as much as it is concertmusic.says Moran.“For me,its just to re contextualize.Sometimes we lose sight that themusic has a wider context.It can be adapted to（适应）different situations.During the interview,he asked-In music,where does the feeling lie?Are we,ashumans,gaining any insight（感悟）on how to talk about ourselves and how a Fats Wallerrecord gets us into a dialogue about our emotions and our thoughts?”He added that most of the musicians have recognized the need and agreed to continuethose dialogues for the year.4Why did the musicians meet online onApril 30?ATo celebrate the Jazz Day.BTo show the value of jazz.CTo remember the birth of jazz.DTo protect different jazz cultures.5What does the underlined word“re contextualize in paragraph 6 mean?ATo mix jazz

black and white.CIt has to keep up with the times.DIt has become more popular.7What can be the best title for the text?AThe Rise and Fall of JazzBGoals Set for Jazz Day 2020CThe Story of a Jazz MusicianDThe New Problems With JazzEnergy independenceIt has a nice ring to itDoesnt it？If you think so，youre notalone，because energy independence has been the dream ofAmerican president for decades，and never more so than in the past few years，when the most recent oil price shock has beenpartly responsible for kicking off the great recessionEnergy independence and its rhetorical（修辞的）companion energy security are，however，slippery concepts that are rarely though throughWhat is it we want independencefrom，exactly？Most people would probably say that they want to be

oilThey value the environmental quality they preserve over their oil imports fromabroadVast areas of the United States are off-limits to oil exploration and production in thename of environmental protectionTo what degree areAmericans really willing to endure theenvironmental impacts of domestic energy production in order to cut back imports？Third，there are benefits to tradeIt allows for economic efficiency，and when we buythings from places that have lower production costs than we do，we benefitAnd althoughyou dont read about this much，the United States is also a large exporter of oil products，selling about 2million barrels of petroleum products per day to about 90countriesThere is no question that the United States imports a great deal of energy and，in fact，relies on that steady flow to maintain its economy When that flow is interrupted，we feel thepain in short supplies and higher prices.At the same time，we get massive economic benefitswhen we buy the most affordable energy on the world market and when we engage in energytrade around the world8What does the author say about energy independence forAmerica？AIt sounds very attractiveBIt ensures national securityCIt will

delicious meal from a finerestaurant,but youre a little low on funds.So what do you do?If you happen to live in Europe,the answer is as easy as pie:Youpull out your smartphone or tablet,and tap Too Good To Go,Europes most popular app.Approximately 23,000 restaurants and food sellers post their leftover offerings on the app forhalf their usual cost.Why all this incredible generosity?Unbelievably,one-third of the worlds food is thrownaway,and nearly one billion people dont have enough to eat.Besides,burning wasted foodreleases harmful carbon dioxide emissions into the atmosphere,which contributes to climatechange.Thats why environment-minded companies around the world are creating apps forphones,tablets,and other smart devices that connect uneaten food with people who want orneed it.After a long day at work,Anne,a 34-year-old student,pulls out her smartphone andchooses a noodle dishpasta with mushrooms.Then she heads to a restaurant on the banksof the Spree River,where the owner packs her dinner and also offers her a scoop of free icecream,which is a reward for bringing her own container.Indeed,there are many programs serving the same mission around the world.In America,people are using an app called Food forAll.One hour before a restaurant closes,its staff canpost leftover meals to the app for up to 80 percent off menu prices.The app also allowscustomers to donate leftover meals to others.In the Netherlands,77,000 people have downloaded an app called NoFoodWasted.Thisprogram allows grocery store workers to share products that are approaching their expirationdates with customers who might need them.Some countries are taking their commitment to reducing food waste a step further.France and the Czech Republic,for example,have laws that prohibit restaurants and grocerystores from throwing away food.Instead,workers are required to donate that food to charity.So think about if there might be a better use for your uneaten vegetables.The planet willthank you.12What is this passage mainly about?ARestaurants can post leftover meals on the app Food forAll.BApps are designed connecting leftover food with people in need.CStores share food approaching their expiration dates with customers.DIts popular for people to claim food that might otherwise be thrown away.13What is the result when lots of food is thrown out and later burned up?ACarbon dioxide is given off,worsening the problem of climate change.BSome countries have laws making restaurants donate the food they make.CGovernments have made many apps that let people find cheap meals.DNearly one billion people on the planet do not get enough food to eat.14What can you infer from the passage?AAnne packed a tasty pasta and mushroom dish to give away to charity.BThe restaurantAnne visits sells its leftover food at a discount each day.CThe 80-percent-off deal offered on app is not available during lunch hours.DLaws have been passed to prevent restaurants from throwing out leftover food.15This passage would be most useful for a student research project on _.Aapplication of technology to help solve the problem of leftover foodBlaws to help promote the safe transportation and sale of food productsCrestaurants using high-tech solutions to reduce packaging wasteDmethods to design apps that connect restaurants with customers二、七选五二、七选五The power of words is sometimes hard to understand._16_ If you have goals anddreams in life,write them down and speak them out.As an ancient proverb says,“Your tongue has the power of life and death.”That meansthat your words have the power to finally cause things to happen,even life and death._17_For example,an encouraging word to someone who is down can lift his spiritsand help him make it through the day.Words can have a powerful effect on yoursubconscious brain.And it will in turn affect your life greatly.Be very careful,because your words have destructive power too.You have probablyheard of children being scolded(责骂；严厉责备)by their parents and developing a badself-image._18_However,experts say it is important to praise children 4 times foreach scolding._19_Its not your parents,your past relationships,your job,the economy,or yourage that is to blame(责怪).You and only you are responsible for every decision you make.We may all experience the power of words in our life,even when we were very young._20_Encouraging words from our teacher or parents when we fail the exam canmake us work harder at our lessons,while blame or scolding will make things worse.AMost kids have that experience.BYour words are likely to bring something amazing.CBut an encouraging word can go quite a long way.DEverything you do is based on the choices you make.EYou should try to be encouraged and think positively.FThe familiar words can help us build up a good relationship with others.GWe all need positive words especially when we are in trouble or need help.三、完形填空三、完形填空On Monday,May 9,James
