I am doing a research project for school that is due at i the end of May. The reason I am writing is that I need your help. I know that you and your dad are great jazz fans. Maybe you and your dad can help me.The research project that I’m doing is about jazz music. I went to the library and found the bo oks I needed on jazz history. I was surprised to learn that jazz music was originally a part of the gospel song （福音欹）tradition, which is also a part of the blues. What really surprised me is that rap music has its roots in jazz, too.For my project I have to write a paper. That's a requirement. I don't have a choice with that. Our teacher gave us the choice of working in a group or doing something on our own for the performance part of the project. Because this is a music appreciation class, there are lots of kids who are going to sing or perform in groups. What I want to do is to play a few of Duke Ellington's songs that I have on tape. Then, I want to play a few bars on the piano to show the class his interesting sounds.I am really excited about this project. I know that your dad has a great jazz collection. He I must have a few Ellington CDs, records, or tapes. I bought an Ellington piano book and some CDs. but I don't have the music for two of the songs I want to use.This is where I need your help. Could you see if your dad has any Ellington piano songs in his collection? The songs that I am looking for that are in my piano book are “Solitude” and “Black Butterfly.”I hope that you can find them. I trust your dad's collection and hope that they’ll be there. If you tape them, I'll pay you for the tapes. I can give you a call in a week to see if you have found them. We can also talk about your plans to come and stay here for a few weeks this summer.I hope everything is fine with you and all of your family. I'm looking forward to talking with you soon.Your friend,Paul44.What is Paul planning to do FIRST for the performance part of his project?A.He will read his paper.B.He will play the piano.C.He will perform with his friends.D.He will play tapes.45.What does Paul need from Zachary's dad?A.a book about jazz.B.Ellington music.C.Ellington videos.D.a new CD.46.

Unlike the other women painters of the time, she did not want to be an amateur — she wanted to make a living with her art. From 1860 to 1862, Mary studied drawing at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Art, which was near her home. What she really wanted to do, however, was go to Europe to study the works of famous painters, known as the“old masters”.At first. Mary's parents were opposed to the idea of her going to Europe, but she eventually changed their minds. Mary moved to Paris when she was 22 years old. After studying the old masters for a while, she began to believe that if she was to become a good artist, she would have to develop her own style.In the early 1870s. the painter Edgar Degas asked Mary to join the group called the Impressionists. The Impressionists were a group of painters who had broken from the style of the old masters. Rather than painting only sitting or standing models, the Impressionists often painted from real life. Rather than painting in only dark colors，the Impressionists experimented with bright colors and the effect of light on color.Mary Cassatt became quite successful as an Impressionist painter. In later years, however, she also worked in dry point. The process of dry point consisted of three steps. The first step was to draw a picture. She did this by scratching (刮) a sharp needle onto a sheet of copper (铜), called a plate. Next she applied ink to the plate with a roller. Then she pressed the plate onto a sheet of paper. Even later. Mary Cassatt began painting pictures of mothers with their children. These are some of Cassatt、best—known paintings. In the 1890s, Mary Cassatt had many one-woman art shows in both the United States and Europe. Her works were well respected and sold very well. She bought a summer home in the country outside of Paris, where she lived until her death in 1926.47.Mary wanted to be different from many women painters of her time by ______ .A.becoming a professional artistB.traveling to London to study other artistsC.working with the Impressionist paintersD.learning from “old masters”48.The underlined word “amateur” means ______ .A.艺术家B.业余爱好者C.家庭妇女D.职业画家49.How was the style of the Impressionists different from that of the old masters?A.The paintings featured only posed models.B.The artists pressed down on plates.C.The pictures showed scenes from real life.D.The painters used only dark colors.(C)Passenger ships, trade ships, and fishing boats are a normal part of life on the open sea. However, all their activity Creates a great deal of noise underwater. Scientists from the United States and Canada recently reported their observations(观察) that the ocean is getting noisier.Scientists at the University of Victoria have studied the recordings recorded with equipment placed underwater near the busy shipping lanes off Vancouver Island in Canada. They say engine (发动机）noise is continuous during day. and a little less strong at night.Scientists say it is likely that whales must call out more loudly to be heard over this noise. The noise could make it more difficult for orca whales to find food. The orcas find fish by producing clicking sounds and other noises. Loud engine noise could be interfering with their efforts.Michael Jasny is a policy expert for the Natural Resources Defense Council. He says the rise of underwater noise is limiting the ability of whales to communicate.Shipping noise falls across the same frequencies(频率)that these animals use for all their vital(生死攸关的）behaviors. for feeding, for findings mates, for avoiding predators (捕食者) and for going ahead. ”Mr. Jasny says sound travels very effectively underwater. And it is not just whales he is worried about.“The whole web of life in the oceans depends on sound. And as more and more research has been done, it's been very clear that what we have on our hands is really a major problem. It's a serious problem. It's a global problem. Fortunately, in shipping we have a problem that has a solution.”One answer is to design quieter shops. America's National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, or NOAA , has four new ships that are made to be quieter. Michael Bahtiarian. works for Noise Control Engineering, the company which helped design the boats.Mr. Bahtiarian says the main source of noise pollution is the propeller(螺旋桨). Better shaped propellers and ship designs can help to reduce noise. NOAA's ships also have costly engines, which produce less noise. Mr. Bahtiarian says the technology to make quieter ships does exist and has been in the military for some time.50.The underlined phrase “i nterfering with” in Paragraph 3 probably means______.A.controllingB.disturbingC.encouragingD.stopping51.We can tell that whales depend on sound for______.municating with their matesB.stopping predators from fishingC.fighting against the shipping noiseD.telling the night time from the day52.From the passage we can learn that______.A.expensive engines produce less noise in the oceanB.people should stop making big ships in order to save whalesC.the other animals in the ocean also depend on sound for livingD.it is difficult to find a way to stop noise pollution in the ocean53.What is the purpose in writing the passage?A.To tell people that ocean is getting noisier.B.To tell people about and ships in the ocean.C.To tell people that whales are facing a serious problem.D.To tell people that quiet ships are needed in the ocean.七、还原句子（共4分、每小题1分）Warm Up to Keep Your Game UpDon't rush into any sport or exercise without warming up first—muscles(肌肉)that haven't been exercised can be injured more easily.54 . These activities get your muscles going. Follow your warm-up with some stretches (伸展). Stretching works best after a warm-up because your body is ready to exercise.In addition to light activities and stretches, practice is also excellent preparation for most sports or activities.55 . This will help you and your teammates work together and put you in top physical condition.Even if you don't belong to a team, you can use regular workouts and practices to improve your performance anckreduce the chance of injuries Remember, if a tool isn't used, it gets rusty (生锈的). 56 . For example. try shooting some baskets or play a quick game. Practice gets your brain and body to work together while improving your performance.Although you should practice regularly, don't work too hard. 57 . Your doctor or coach can help you八、阅读与表达(共8分、每小题2分）Today, people care about their health much more than before and want to get a well-toned body shape, this is because when we are in good shape. it makes us feel fit and healthy. We feel good about ourselves and feel much more confident than before. When you want to tone up your body, just workouts will not do. You have to take care of your overall health by eating proper food, doing the right kind of exercises and keeping yourself happy.The first thing that needs to be done is to reduce the intake （摄入）of calories (卡路里). The calories content (含量）of each meal should not be higher than 400 calories. Ideally, one is well advised to have six meals in a day. There should be a gap （间隔) of three hours between each meal. Fresh vegetables, fruits, egg white, fish, chicken breast are some of the food that can provide you with the right nutrients (养分), at the same time will you to get in shape.Many people make the mistake of avoiding strength training when they are trying for weight loss. They think that strength training will increase their body weight. However, this is not true. Be careful not to over exercise in order to lose weight fast. Too much of exercise can cause injury to you.Drinking 8-10 glasses of water can help in reducing fat. If you drink ice cold water, then it will burn out some extra calories from your body. This is because when you are drinking cold water, your body needs to raise the temperature of the water up to your body temperature. In this process, almost one calorie of fat gets burned from the body. Drinking a glass of water before a meal will be helpful in this regard.You can get a healthy body only if your mind is from stress. Stress can also lead to other health problems like high blood pressure, upset stomach, headaches, etc. For all these reasons, special efforts need to be taken to relax your mind.58.Is too much exercise good for health?59.The good body shape can make people feel.60.How many meals are advised to have in a day?61.According to the writer, how can we have overall health?九、完成句子（共10分，每小题2分）62.为什么不和你父母谈谈你的问题?他们也许能想出好主意帮到你。

Want some orange juice, graybeard?” Coyote yelled (叫喊) to me much louder than____14____“No, just bring me some chips!” I shouted back.One time, when I misheard what he said three times in a row, he _____15_____that I had become too old and started to hear worse. Since then, yelling at me has become a kind of family joke.Pushing everything to the limit was the basis of Coyote's character.

When he _____19_____his T-shirt, I saw a new tattoo: some Buddhist symbol, Iguess.Coyote has been interested in Asian culture for a long time.“Control yourself, graybeard,” I said to myself, trying not to yell something like,“Why the hell would you need another tattoo after you already made that huge first one?”The next moment I realized that my yelling would not ____20____ anything; the tattoo was already on Coyote's skin.And then I thought: “Hey, what if I get a tattoo myself?”13．A．busy B．blue C．strange D．peaceful 14．A．needed B．expected C．accepted D．imagined 15．A．complained B．realized C．joked D．shouted 16．A．tiredness B．honors C．happiness D．troubles 17．A．agreement B．argument C．decision D．discussion 18．A．mad B．curious C．excited D．nervous 19．A．hid B．showed C．lifted D．hung 20．A．interrupt B．change C．test D．cost四、阅读单选When you cough or sneeze, you’d better turn your head away from others and cover your mouth with the full part of your hand. And then, you should say, “Excuse me.”This seems so simple, but it is surprising how many kids have never been told to do this. Actually, I notice adults all the time who cough and sneeze in public without placing a hand over the mouth. One important thing I point out to the kids is that after they sneeze or cough on their hands, they should wash their hands as soon as possible. If not, they will be passing those germs(细菌) along to everything and everyone they touch.If you come to a door and someone is following you, hold the door. If the door opens by pulling, pull it open, stand to the side, and allow the other person to pass through first, then you can walk through. If the door opens by pushing, hold the door after you pass through.After a few weeks of seeing kids try to get through doors in the school and watching them enter restaurants as the door hit other people, I knew I had to discuss the problem with my students. Teaching them small acts of kindness, such as letting someone else go through a door first as they hold it open, may seem unimportant, but it can go a long way toward helping students realize how to be polite and thank others. Once they’ve been told, they’re halfway there.When we have to go up moving stairs, we will stand to the right. That will give others who are in a hurry a choice of walking up the left-hand side of the moving stairs. When we are going to enter a lift, the underground, or a doorway, we will wait for others to exit before we enter.After college when I moved to London, I was surprised at how polite everyone was in the subways. I was even more touched when I traveled to Japan. In both places, people made efforts to make way for others. On moving stairs, everyone stood to the right and walked to the left. On lifts, everyone would stand over to the side and allow others to exit before they would begin to enter.21．When you cough or sneeze, you should ________.A．cover your mouth B．touch everythingC．point out to the kids D．pass the germs to others22．If you come to a door and someone is following you, you’d better ________.A．close the door B．pass through C．hold the door D．stand to the side 23．From the passage we can know the writer is a ________.A．doctor B．traveler C．parent D．teacherFailure is probably the most exhausting experience a person ever has. There is nothing more tiring than not succeeding.We experience this tiredness in two ways: as start-up fatigue and performance fatigue. In the former case, we keep putting off a task because it is either too boring or too difficult. And the longer we delay it, the more tired we feel.Such start-up fatigue is very real, even if not actually physical, not something in our muscles and bones. The solution is obvious though perhaps not easy to apply: always handle the most difficult job first.Years ago, I was asked to write 102 essays on the great ideas of some famous authors. Applying my own rule, I determined to write them in alphabetical (按字母顺序) order, never letting myself leave out a tough idea. And I always started the day’s work with the difficult task of essay-writing. Experience proved that the rule works.Performance fatigue is more difficult to handle. Though willing to get started, we cannot seem to do the job right. Its difficulties appear so great that, however hard we work, we fail again and again. In such a situation, I work as hard as I can—then let the unconscious takeover.When planning Encyclopaedia Britannica (《大英百科全书》), I had to create a table of contents based on the topics of its articles. Nothing like this had ever been done before, and day after day, I kept coming up with solutions, but none of them worked. My fatigue became almost unbearable.One day, mentally exhausted, I wrote down all the reasons why this problem could not be solved. I tried to convince myself that the trouble was with the problem itself, not with me. Relived, I sat back in an easy chair and fell asleep.An hour later, I woke up suddenly with the solution clearly in mind. In the weeks that followed, the solution which had come up in my unconscious mind proved correct at every step. Though I worked as hard as before, I felt no fatigue. Success was now as exciting as failure had been depressing.Human beings, I believe, must try to succeed. Success, then, means never feeling tired. 24．What does the author recommend doing to prevent start-up fatigue?A．Writing essays in strict order.B．Building up physical strength. C．Leaving out the toughest ideas.D．Dealing with the hardest task first. 25．On what occasion does a person probably suffer from performance fatigue?A．Before starting a difficult task.B．When all the solutions fail.C．If the job is rather boring.D．After finding a way out. 26．According to the author, the unconscious mind may help us ________.A．ignore mental problems B．get some nice sleepC．gain complete relief D．find the right solution27．What could be the best title for the passage?A．Success Is Built upon Failure B．How to Handle Performance Fatigue C．Getting over Fatigue: A Way to Success D．Fatigue: An Early Sign of Health ProblemsThe Teenage BrainParents, teachers, and others who deal closely with teenagers know how difficult the adolescent(青少年的) years can be. This was thought to be due to the “foolishness of youth.” Now, brain-imaging technology allows scientists to study the physical development of the brain in more details than ever before. Their discoveries have led a new theory of why teensact this way.Recently, scientists have discovered that though our brains are almost at their full size by the age of six, they are far from fully developed. Only during adolescence do our brains truly “grow up.” During this time, they go through great changes, like a computer system being upgraded. This “upgrade” was once thought to be finished by about age 12. Now scientists have found that our brains continue to change until age 25. Such changes make us better at balancing impulses (冲动) with following rules. But a still-developing brain does this clumsily (笨拙地). The result, scientists believe, is the unpredictable behavior seen in teenagers.The studies show that teens are more likely to take risks. Luckily, the news isn’t all bad. As brain scientist B．J. Casey points out, the teen brain inspires such behavior in order to help teens prepare for adult life.One way the brain does this is by changing the way teens measure risk and reward (回报).Researchers have found that when teens think about rewards, their brains release more of the chemicals that create pleasure. Researchers believe this makes the rewards seem more important than the risks, and makes teens feel the excitement of new experience.Research into the structure of the teen brain have also found that it makes social connection seem especially rewarding. As such, teens have a strong need to meet new people. Because it is still developing, a teen brain can change to deal with new situations. So it connects social rewards with even more pleasure. In this way, the brain encourages teens to have a wide circle of friends, which is believed to make them more successful in life.Unluckily, this need for greater rewards can sometimes lead teens to make bad decisions. However, it also means that teens are more likely, and less afraid, to try new things or to be independent. And in the long run, the impulses of the teen brain are what help teens leave their parents’ care and live their own life successfully.28．According to Paragraph 2, what have the scientists discovered now?A．A changing brain helps follow the rules.B．Our brains finish upgrading by age of twelve.C．Our brains are fully developed by the age of six.D．A developing brain can cause unpredictable behaviors.29．The writer probably agrees that .A．teenagers should learn from their bad decisionsB．many teenagers are able to change their behaviorsC．the way the teen brain works makes them less afraidD．the impulses of a teenage brain should be controlled30．What can we learn from the passage?A．The teen brain makes risks less exciting.B．The impulse of teen brain can benefit teenagers.C．Teenagers with more friends are more successful.D．Teenagers make wrong decisions because of their brain.Diet drinks may taste good, but they might not bring happiness. A new study finds that people who drink diet sodas or fruit drinks are more likely to be diagnosed (诊断) with depression.The study doesn’t show that diet drinks cause depression and the researchers stress their findings don’t provide an explanation. They looked at more than 263,900 U.S. adults ages 50 to 71 who answered questions about their beverage （饮料）consumption（摄入量）between the years 1995 and 1996. About 10 years later (from 2004 to 2006), the same people were asked if a doctor had diagnosed them with depression since the year 2000.People who regularly drank four or more cans of any type of soda a day were 30 percent more likely to have received a diagnosis of depression than people who did not drink soda, said Dr. Honglei Chen of the National Institutes of Health, who led the study. The risk of depression was especially high for people who drank diet soda — a 31 percent increased risk compared to a 22 percent increased risk for those who drank regular soda, the researchers said.Those who drank four or more cans of diet fruit drinks were 51 percent more likely to be diagnosed with depression compared to those who did not drink diet fruit drinks.By contrast, people who drank four or more cups of coffee a day were 10 percent less likely to have been diagnosed with depression compared to non-coffee drinkers.The study only found an association, and did not determine （确定）whether diet soda or fruit drinks caused depression. Although the researchers took into account factors that could affect the results, such as age, sex, education, smoking status, physical activity, body mass index (BMI) and energy intake, it’s possible other circumstances, such as a familyhistory of depression or stressful life events, could explain the association.A family history of depression and stressful life events are some of the biggest predictors of depression, said Emma Robertson-Blackmore, assistant professor of psychiatry at the University of Rochester Medical Center, who was not involved in the study. In addition, older people are more likely to experience stressful life events, including the death of a loved one, job changes or illnesses, Robertson-Blackmore said.However, the findings agree with those of a few previous studies that found a link between frequent consumption of sweetened beverages and a higher prevalence (流行程度) of depression, the researchers said. (Diet sodas and fruit drinks are sweetened, but their sweeteners contain no calories.)“More research is needed to confirm these findings, and people with depression should continue to take depression medications prescribed by their doctors,” said Chen. 31．People who drink four or more _______ every day are the most likely to feel depressed. A．cups of coffee B．cans of fruit drinksC．cans of diet soda D．cans of regular soda32．The underlined phrase “took into account” means ___________.A．checked out B．went throughC．drew a conclusion D．paid attention to33．What can we learn from Dr. Honglei Chen’s study?A．Diet drinks taste good but they don’t always bring happiness.B．Drinking a lot of diet drinks regularly will lead to depression.C．There is a close connection between diet drinks and depression.D．Stressful life events can explain why people may feel depressed.34．What is the purpose of the writer writing the article?A．To find out why diet drinking leads to depression.B．To present findings on diet drinking and depression.C．To warn us against drinking diet soda or fruit drinks.D．To suggest a healthy way of drinking for a better life.五、阅读回答问题We all know that running is good for our healthy. Have you ever thought that running is also good for the planet? Sometimes a creative mind can bring us a win-win situation.Plogging is becoming increasingly popular after it started as an organizational activity in Sweden (瑞典). What is plogging? It is a term referring to the act of picking up litter while jogging. The term “plogging” is created by combining the English word “jogging” and “plocka upp”, a Swedish term that means “picking up”.A Swedish man called Eric Ahlstrom started the movement. After moving from a Swedish ski resort to Stockholm, Eric noticed a lot of litter when he rode to work each day. So, he decided to do something about it. In 2016, Eric began organizing groups to pick up rubbish while jogging, and thus “plogging” was born. It spread to other countries in 2018, following increased concern about plastic pollution.Plogging is considered a perfect activity, as it is positive both for the body, and for the environment. There’s no doubt that moving your body will do great things for your health, and plogging will also add some extra moves like squatting (蹲下) or bending (弯曲) your body. According to a research, plogging for 10 minutes burns 48 calories, while usual jogging for 10 minutes burns about 39 calories.Plogging is a movement that anyone can join. To get started, choose plogging route that you know is heavily littered but still considered safe. Do not forget to bring your recyclable rubbish bags and gloves, as well as some hand sanitizer (消毒纸巾) if necessary. You can jog alone or in groups. You can do it early in the morning, or a bit before going to work, or even in the late afternoon. If you’re not much of a jogger, that’s okay! You can take a walk. Anything that suits you! It really does not matter whether you take a 2-mile jog or a 5-mile marathon, or just a 15-minute morning walk, the idea with plogging is that you do some physical exercise while helping to pick up litter!Every day, about 2 million people plog in over 100 countries. If you have a pair of gloves, a rubbish bag, and enjoy being outside, plogging may be right for you!35．What is plogging?__________________________36．Who started the movement of plogging?__________________________37．What do you need to bring when you plog?__________________________38．How many people plog in over 100 countries every day?__________________________39．Why is plogging becoming popular?__________________________六、材料作文40．“分担”是一种美德。

Jeff wants to show disabled people can do anything they want to doDCan you play a board game with your mom when she drives you to school? Wait! Shouldn’t your mom keep her hands on the wheel and her eyes on the road? Not i f she’s driving a computer-controlled car down a high-tech-highway of the future.Someday, moms may be able to do it, In 1997,scientists and engineers tested new computer-controlled cars that drove themselves along a special high-tech highway called a “smartway”. Computers in the cars used information from magnets(磁铁)，light sensors (感应器)，and radar detectors built into the smartway.Scientists hope that drivers of the future will simply drive up to a smartway, then turn on the car’s automated(自动的)driver. The human driver will sit back and enjoy the ride. A computer system will do the rest. Satellites and magnets will help the car go along the highway, Sensors will make the car drivers know other cars nearby, The car’s central computer will process in formation and tell the car what to do. For example, if a car is too close to the car in front of it, the computer will tell it to slow down of change lanes. When the car’s hu man driver decides to exit the smartway, he or she will take over the controls and return to the regular highway.Engineers hope the smartways will save time for people and cut down the number of car accidents and traffic jams. Most accidents are caused by human errors, according to the U.S. Department of Transportation. Computer-controlled cars should eliminate(消除)those kinds of accidents because a computer, not a human, will decide what the car will do next.But some car makers aren’t sure the smartway will be the safest way to travel. What would ha ppen if a deer jumped into the road? Or if the car’scomputer broke down? Engineers are trying answer these questions now. Until they find the answers, your will have to keep her eyes on the road.根据短文内容选择正确答案（8分）51. Which of the following sentence is NOT true?A. Smartways have high-tech built into them.B.
