Section 1Prompt 1Think carefully about the issue presented in the following excerpt and the assignment below.Most human beings spend their lives doing work they hate and work that the world does not need. It is of prime importance that you learn early what you want to do and whether or not the world needs this service. The return from your work must be the satisfaction that work brings you and the world's need of that work. Income is not money, it is satisfaction; it is creation; it is beauty.Adapted from W.E.B. Du Bois, The Autobiography of W.E.B. Du Bois: A Soliloquy on Viewing My Life from the Last Decade of Its First CenturyAssignment:Is it more important to do work that one finds fulfilling or work that pays well? Plan and write an essay in which you develop your point of view on this issue. Support your position with reasoning and examples taken from your reading, studies, experience, or observations.Prompt 2Think carefully about the issue presented in the following excerpt and the assignment below.If we are dissatisfied with our circumstances, we think about changing them. But the most important and effective changes—in our attitude—hardly occur to us.In other words, we should worry not about how to alter the world around us for the better but about how to change ourselves in order to fit into that world.Adapted from Michael Hymers, "Wittgenstein, Pessimism and Politics"Assignment:Is it better to change one's attitude than to change one's circumstances? Plan and write an essay in which you develop your point of view on this issue. Support your position with reasoning and examples taken from your reading, studies, experience, or observations.Prompt 3Think carefully about the issue presented in the following excerpt and the assignment below.Many people believe that our government should do more to solve our problems. After all, how can one individual create more jobs or make roads safer or improve the schools or help to provide any of the other benefits that we have come to enjoy? And yet expecting that the government—rather than individuals—should always come up with the solutions to society's ills may have made us less self-reliant, undermining our independence and self-sufficiency.Assignment:Should people take more responsibility for solving problems that affect their communities or the nation in general? Plan and write an essay in which you develop your point of view on this issue. Support your position with reasoning and examples taken from your reading, studies, experience, or observations.Section 31.Geoffrey’s corrupt dealings earned him such disgrace that any possibility of hisbeing reelected to the city council was completely -------.(A)ensured(B)approved(C)belittled(D)e liminated(E)defended2.Although the editors were reputed to be very -------, the uneven quality of thematerial they put into the anthology suggests they were too -------.(A)amateurish . . professional(B)lax . . harsh(C)selective . . inclusive(D)j udgmental . . discriminating(E)sensitive . . insightful3.The professor’s presentation was both ------- and -------: though brief, it wasinstructive.(A)verbose . . mundane(B)concise . . elaborate(C)comprehensive . . edifying(D)s uccinct . . enlightening(E)provocative . . technical4.With its large circulation, Essence magazine has enjoyed ------- only recentlychallenged by new publications aggressively seeking female African American readers.(A)an aggregation(B)an inclination(C)a prognosis(D)a retrenchment(E)a preeminence5.The judge’s published opinions, though sophisticated and subtle, wereundeniably -------: they left no doubt of her intentions.(A)unequivocal(B)effusive(C)incorrigible(D)t enuous(E)ineffableEach passage below is followed by questions based on its content. Answer the questions on the basis of what is stated or implied in each passage and in any introductory material that may be provided.Questions 6-7 are based on the following passage.Properly speaking, a movement is a continuous, collective effort to bring about fundamental social reform. It is a collaborative rather than an individualistic enterprise. No matter how many factions are involved, there is always a common objective. The Black freedom struggle of the 1960's was such an effort. Its objective was to transform the manner in which Black Americans in the United States were viewed and heated. And Black writers and artists, as a vital sector of the movement, sought to transform the manner in which Black Americans were represented or portrayed in literature and the arts.6. The first sentence of the passage ("Properly speaking . . . reform") primarily serves to(A) present a controversial opinion(B) question the effectiveness of a process(C) provide an example of an abstract idea(D) define the meaning of a term(E) offer a solution to a problem7. The passage indicates that Black writers and artists were most important to the freedom struggle in that they(A) promoted freedom of artistic expression for Black Americans(B) attempted to alter the way Black people were depicted in the arts(C) created powerful protest art that documented the Black struggle(D) were a cohesive group that opposed excessive individualism(E) prescribed a course of action to help ensure social justiceQuestions 8-9 are based on the following passage.As a slang word, "cool" has stayed cool far longer than most such words. One of the main characteristics of slang is the continual renewal of its vocabulary: in order for slang to feel slangy, it has to have a feeling of novelty. Slang expressions meaning the same thing as "cool," like "groovy," "hep," "far-out," "rad," and "tubular," have for the most part not had the staying power of "cool." In general, there is no intrinsic reason why one word stays alive and others get consigned to the scrap heap of linguistic history, but slang terms, like fashion designs, are rarely "in" for long. The jury is still out on how long "def' and "phat" will survive.8. The primary purpose of the passage is to(A) address a pressing question(B) define an unusual expression(C) note the durability of a term(D) oppose a particular use of language(E) challenge a linguistic theory9. In line 11, "fashion designs" serve as an example of something(A) provocative(B) ephemeral(C) pretentious(D) esoteric(E) exoticQuestions 10-15 are based on the following passage.This passage was adapted from a 1995 book about astronomy.Apart from the Moon and occasional comets and asteroids, Venus is often our nearest neighbor. Its orbit brings it closer to Earth than any other planet—only 26 million miles away at certain times. Despite that proximity, for a long time it was generally termed "the planet of mystery." This is because the atmosphere of Venus is so dense and so cloud-laden that its surface is permanently hidden from sight. The first attempt to learn more about Venus was to analyze its upper atmosphere using spectroscopic methods. In size and mass, Venus is almost the equal of Earth, and its gravitational field is only slightly weaker than ours, so that logically it might be expected to have the same kind of atmosphere—but this is emphatically not so. Scientists found that the main constituent of its atmosphere is carbon dioxide. Since this is a heavy gas that would be expected to sink, it was reasonable to assume that carbon dioxide made up most of the atmosphere down to ground level. Carbon dioxide acts in the manner of a greenhouse, trapping the Sun's heat, so it followed that Venus was likely to be a very torrid sort of world.Yet opinions differed. According to one theory, the clouds contained a great deal of water. It was even claimed that the surface might be largely ocean covered, in which case the atmospheric carbon dioxide would have fouled the water and produced seas of soda water. Another intriguing theory made Venus very similar to the Earth of over 200 million years ago. There would be marshes, luxuriant vegetation of the fern and horsetail variety, and primitive life-forms such as giant dragonflies. If so, then Venus might presumably evolve the same way Earth has done.In 1962 the American probe Mariner 2 bypassed Venus at less than 22,000 miles and gave us our first reliable information. The surface proved to be very hot indeed; we now know that the maximum temperature is almost 500°C. The atmosphere really is almost pure carbon dioxide, and those shining clouds are rich in sulfuric acid. All ideas of a pleasant, oceanic Venus had to be abandoned. In 1975 Venera 9, a Russian automatic lander, visited Venus and sent back pictures direct from the surface. The scene— a rocky, scorched landscape—could hardly be more hostile. Subsequent probes have confirmed this impression.Why is Venus so unlike Earth? The answer can only lie in its lesser distance from the Sun. It seems that in the early days of the solar system the Sun was less luminous than it is now, in which case Venus and Earth may have started to evolve along the same lines, but when the Sun became more powerful the whole situation changed. Earth, at 93 million miles, was just out of harm's way, but Venus, at 67 million, was not. The water in oceans vaporized, the carbonates were driven out of the rocks, andin a relatively short time on the cosmic scale, Venus was transformed from a potentially life-bearing world into the inferno of today.10. The primary purpose of the passage is to(A) criticize the lack of research on a topic of mystery(B) speculate about life on another world(C) lament the demise of a compelling theory(D) illustrate the principles of planetary research(E) discuss attempts to understand an astronomical enigma11. The statement in lines 11-14 ("In size . . . so") functions primarily to(A) dismiss a plausible supposition(B) mock an outrageous claim(C) bolster an accepted opinion(D) summarize a particular experiment(E) undermine a controversial hypothesis12. The primary purpose of the third paragraph (lines 22-31) is to(A) provide evidence in support of a controversial theory(B) challenge two popular misconceptions about Venus(C) show why a particular hypothesis was misguided(D) suggest that Venus has been romanticized throughout history(E) present two distinct theories about Venus13. In order for the hypothesis in lines 28-30 ("There would . . . dragonflies") tobe correct, which statement could NOT be true of conditions on Venus?(A) The environment is generally warm and humid.(B) The atmosphere is pure carbon dioxide.(C) It is possible for evolutionary change to occur.(D) There is enough light for photosynthesis to occur.(E) Creatures are able to fly with ease.14. The statement in lines 32-34 ("In 1962 .. . information") suggests that the(A) quality of the data surprised the scientists(B) evidence collected earlier was relatively untrustworthy(C) records had been lost for a long time before scientists rediscovered them(D) probe allowed scientists to formulate a completely new theory(E) data confirmed an obscure and implausible theory15. The tone of the statement in lines 43-44 ("The answer... Sun") is bestdescribed as(A) regretful(B) guarded(C) skeptical(D) decisive(E) amusedQuestions 16-24 are based on the following passage.This passage has been adapted from a memoir published in 1999. The year is 1961; the author, then a young girl, has just moved to New York City with her family.New York was darker than I expected, and, in spite of the cleansing rain, dirtier. Used to the sensual curves of Puerto Rico, my eyes had to adjust to the regular, aggressive two-dimensionality of Brooklyn. Raindrops pounded the hard streets, captured the dim silver glow of-street lamps, bounced against sidewalks in glistening sparks, then disappeared like tiny ephemeral jewels, into the darkness. Mami and Tata teased that I was disillusioned because the streets were not paved with gold. But ) I had no such vision of New York. I was disappointed by the darkness and fixed my hopes on the promise of light deep within the sparkling raindrops.Two days later, I leaned against the wall of our apartment building on McKibbin Street wondering where New York ended and the rest of the world began. It was hard to tell. There was no horizon in Brooklyn. Everywhere I looked, my eyes met a vertical maze of gray and brown straight-edged buildings with sharp corners and deep shadows. Every few blocks there was a cement playground surrounded by chain-link fence. And in between, weedy lots mounded with garbage and rusting cars.A girl came out of the building next door, a jump rope in her hand. She appraised me shyly; I pretended to ignore her. She stepped on the rope, stretched the ends overhead as if to measure their length, and then began to skip, slowly, grunting each time she came down on the sidewalk. Swish splat grunt swish, she turned her back to me; swish splat grunt swish, she faced me again and smiled. I smiled back, and she hopped over."iTu eres hispana?" she asked, as she whirled the rope in lazy arcs."No, I'm Puerto Rican.""Same thing. Puerto Rican, Hispanic. That's what we are here." She skipped a tight circle, stopped abruptly, and shoved the rope in my direction. "Want a turn?" "Sure." I hopped on one leg, then the other. "So, if you're Puerto Rican, they call you Hispanic?""Yeah. Anybody who speaks Spanish."I jumped a circle, as she had done, but faster. "You mean, if you speak Spanish,you're Hispanic?""Well, yeah. No ... I mean your parents have to be Puerto Rican or Cuban or something."I whirled the rope to the right, then the left, like a boxer. "Okay, your parents are Cuban, let's say, and you're born here, but you don't speak Spanish. Are you Hispanic?"She bit her lower lip. "I guess so," she finally said. "It has to do with being from a Spanish country. I mean, you or your parents, like, even if you don't speak Spanish, you're Hispanic, you know?" She looked at me uncertainly. I nodded and returned her rope.But I didn't know. I'd always been Puerto Rican, and it hadn't occurred to me that in Brooklyn I'd be someone else.Later, I asked, "Are we Hispanics, Mami?""Yes, because we speak Spanish:""But a girl said you don't have to speak the language to be Hispanic."She scrunched her eyes. "What girl? Where did you meet a girl?""Outside. She lives in the next building.""Who said you could go out to the sidewalk? This isn't Puerto Rico. Algo te puede suceder.""Something could happen to you" was a variety of dangers outside the locked doors of our apartment. I listened to Mami's lecture with downcast eyes and the necessary, respectful expression of humility. But inside, I quaked. Two days in New York, and I'd already become someone else. It wasn't hard to imagine that greater dangers lay ahead.* The narrator's mother and grandmother16. In line 3, "regular" most nearly means(A) customary(B) agreeable(C) unvarying(D) recurring(E) average17.

Ideas for inventions that change society or, at least, make life easier for somebody? Perhaps we all do sometimes, but we don’t often make the idea as reality. Recently, in Britain, there was a competition called British Designers for Tomorrow. The competition encouraged young people to carry out their bright ideas. There were two groups in the contest: Group One was for schoolchildren under 16; Group Two was for schoolchildren over 16. And there were eleven prize-winners altogether.Neil Hunt, one of the prize-winners, was called ‘Sunshine Superman’by one newspaper writing about his design. It’s important when people study the weather to be able to record sunshine accurately. We need to know how many hours of sunshine we have and how strong it is. Most sunshine recorders only record direct sunlight. Neil’s is more accurate and this is very important for research into way of using solar power. With his prize of £100, Neil plans to carry on inventing.You can do so much with animation. Look at Simon West’s idea for animated road signs. He uses pictures which appear to move as you go nearer to or farther fromthem. This isn’t a new idea. But it is new to use these pictures on mad signs. “We found that people were more likely to see moving sign”, said Simon.

ClozeDirections: For each blank in the following passages there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.(A)Being alone in outer space can be frightening. That is one reason why astronauts on solo (单独的) space flights were given plenty of work to keep them 45 . They were also constant communication with people on the earth. 46 , being with people from whom you cannot get away might be even harder than being alone. This is what happens on long submarine (潜水艇) voyages. It will also happen on 47 space flights in the future. Will there be special problem of adjustment under such conditions?Scientists have studied the reactions of men to one another during long submarine voyages. They have found that the longer the voyage lasts, the more serious the problem of 48 is. When men are 49 together for a long period, they begin to feel uneasy. Everyone has little habits of speaking and behaving that are ordinarily acceptable. In the limited space over a long period of time, however, these little habits may become very 50 .Apparently, although no one wants to be 51 all the time, everyone needs some degree of privacy. When people are enclosed together, they are in what is called a stress situation. That means that they are under an unusual amount of 52 or stress.People who are well-adjusted are able to 53 stress situations better than others. That is one reason why so much care is taken in 54 our astronauts. These men undergo a long period of testing and training. One of the things tested is their behavior under stress.45. A. tired B. asleep C. conscious D. busy46. A. So far B. After all C. However D. Therefore47. A. long B. fast C. dangerous D. direct48. A. fuel B. entertainment C. adjustment D. health49. A. shut up B. held up C. brought up D. picked up50. A. pleasing B. annoying C. common D. valuable51. A. noisy B. alone C. personal D. sociable52. A. emphasis B. conflict C. power D. pressure53. A. handle B. create C. affect D. investigate54. A. becoming B. choosing C. ordering D. promoting(B)One topic is rarely mentioned in all the talk of improving standards in our schools: the almost complete failure of foreign-language teaching. As a French graduate who has taught for more than twenty-five years, I believe I have some idea of why the failure is so total. 55 the faults already found out in the education system as a whole —such as child-centred learning, the “discovery”method, and the low expectations by teachers of pupils —there have been several serious 56 which have a direct effect on language teaching.The first is the removal from the curriculum (课程) of the thorough teaching of English 57 . Pupils now do not know a verb from a noun, the subject of a sentence from its object, or the difference between the past, present, or future.Another important error is mixed-ability teaching, or teaching in ability groups so 58 that the most able groups are 59 and are bored while the least able are lost and 60 bored. Strangely enough, few head teachers seem to be in favour of mixed-ability school football teams.Progress depends on memory, and pupils start to forget immediately they stop having 61 lessons. This is why many people who attended French lessons at school, even those who got good grades, have forgotten it a few years later. 62 they never need it, they do not practice it.Most American schools have accepted what is inevitable and 63 modern languages, even Spanish, from the curriculum. Perhaps it is time for Britain to do the same, and stop 64 resources on a subject which few pupils want or need.55. A. Due to B. In addition to C. Instead of D. In spite of56. A. errors B. situations C. systems D. methods57. A. vocabulary B. culture C. grammar D. literature58. A. wide B. similar C. separate D. unique59. A. kept out B. turned down C. held back D. left behind60. A. surprisingly B. individually C. equally D. hardly61. A. extra B. traditional C. basic D. regular62. A. Although B. Because C. Until D. Unless63. A. restored B. absorbed C. prohibited D. withdrawn64. A. wasting B. focusing C. exploiting D. sharingIV. Reading ComprehensionDirections：Read the following four passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them mere are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one mat fits best according to me information given in me passage you have just read.(A)What do you want to be when you grow up? A teacher? A doctor? How about an ice-cream taster?Yes, there really is a job where you can get paid to taste ice-cream. Just ask John Harrison, an “Official Taste Tester” for the past 21 years. Testing helps manufacturers to be sure of a product’s quality. During his career Harrison has been responsible for approving large quantities of the sweet ice cream —as well as for developing over 75 flavors (味道).Some people think that it would be easy to do this job, after all, you just have to like ice cream, right? No —there’s more to the job than that, says Harrison, who has a degree in chemistry. He points out that a dairy or food-science degree would be very useful to someonewanting a career in this “cool” field.In a typical morning on the job, Harrison tastes and assesses 60 ice-cream samples. He lets the ice cream warm up to about 12℉. Harrison explains, “You get more flavor from warmer ice cream, which is why some kids like to stir it, creating ice-cream soup.”While the ice cream warms up, Harrison looks over the samples and grades each one on its appearance. “Tasting begins with the eyes,”he explains. He checks to see if the ice cream is attractive and asks himself, “Does the product have the color expected from that flavor?” Next it’s time to taste!Continuing to think up new ideas, try out new flavors, and test samples from so many kinds of ice cream each day keeps Harrison busy but happy —working at one cool job.65. What is John Harrison’s job?A. An official.B. An ice-cream taster.C. A chemist.D. An ice-cream manufacturer.66. According to John Harrison, to be qualified in the “cool field”, it is helpful to ______.A. keep a diary of workB. have a degree in related subjectsC. have new ideas every dayD. find out new flavors each day67. What does Harrison do first when testing ice cream?A. He stirs the ice cream.B. He examines the color of the ice cream.C. He tastes the flavor of the ice cream.D. He lets the ice cream warm up.68. Which of the following is probably the best title of the passage?A. Tasting with EyesB. Flavors of Ice CreamC. John Harrison’s LifeD. One Cool Job(B)69. The Fresh Water series at 9 PM ________.A. explores the lakes, rivers and the creatures in themB. is devoted to the freshwater creatures in the worldC. explains the relationship among inhabitants on the earthD. focuses on the deepest river on the planet70. The phrase “stow away” most probably means “_________”.A. hide secretlyB. talk excitedlyC. operate easilyD. guide successfully71. A mystery story adapted from Agatha Christie’s novel will be shown on ______.A. BBC1B. BBC2C. ITV1D. Channel 4(C)Mail carriers will be delivering some good news and some bad news this week.The bad news: Stamp prices are expected to rise 2 cents in May to 41 cents, the Postal Regulatory Commission announced yesterday. The good news: With the introduction of a “forever stamp,” it may be the last time Americans have to use annoying 2-or-3-cent stamps to make up postage differences.Beginning in May, people would be able to purchase the stamps in booklets of 20 at the regular rate of a first-class stamp. As the name implies, “forever stamps” will keep their first-class mailing value forever, even when the postage rate goes up.The new “forever stamp”is the United States Postal Service’s (USPS) answer to the complaints about frequent rate increases. The May increases will be the fifth in a decade. Postal rates have risen because of inflation (通货膨胀), competition from online bill paying, and therising costs of employee benefits, including healthcare, says Mark Saunders, a spokesman for USPS.The USPS expects some financial gain from sales of the “forever stamp”and the savings from not printing as many 2-or-3-cent stamps. “It’s not your grandfather’s stamp,”says Mr. Saunders. “It could be your great-grandchildren’s stamp.”Other countries, including Canada, England, and Finland use similar stamps.Don Schilling, who has collected stamps for 50 years, says he’s interested in the public’s reaction. “This is an entirely new class of stamps.” Mr. Schilling says. He adds that he’ll buy the stamps because he will be able to use them for a long period of time, not because they could make him rich —the volume printed will be too large for collectors. “We won’t be able to send our kids to college on these,” he says, laughing.The USPS board of governors has yet to accept the Postal Regulatory Commission’s decision, but tends to follow its recommendations. No plans have been announced yet for the design of the stamps.72. The main purpose of introducing a “forever stamp” is ______.A. to reduce the cost of printing 2-or-3-cent stampsB. to help save the consumers’ cost on first-class mailingC. to respond to the complaints about rising postal ratesD. to compete with online bill paying73. By saying “It could be your great-grandchildren’s stamp”, Mr. Saunders means that foreverstamps ________.A. could be collected by one’s great-grandchildrenB. might be very precious in great-grandchildren’s handsC. might have been inherited from one’s great-grandfathersD. could be used by one’s great-grandchildren even decades later74. Which of the following is true according to the passage?A. The investment in forever stamps will bring adequate reward.B. America will be the first country to issue forever stamps.C. The design of the “forever stamp” remains to be revealed.D. 2-or-3-cent stamps will no longer be printed in the future.75. What can be concluded from the passage?A. With forever stamps, there will be no need to worry about rate changes.B. Postal workers will benefit most from the sales of forever stamps.C. The inflation has become a threat to the sales of first-class stamps.D. New interest will be aroused in collecting forever stamps.(D)The traditional tent cities at festivals such as Glastonbury may never be the same again.In a victory of green business that is certain to appeal to environmentally-aware music-lovers,a design student is to receive financial support to produce eco-friendly tents made ofcardboard that can be recycled after the bands and the crowds have gone home.Major festivals such as Glastonbury throw away some 10,000 abandoned tents at the end of events each year. For his final year project at the University of the West of England, James Dunlop came up with a material that can be recycled. And to cope with the British summer, the cardboard has been made waterproof.Taking inspiration from a Japanese architect, who has used cardboard to make big buildings including churches, Mr. Dunlop used cardboard material for his tents, which he called Myhabs.The design won an award at the annual New Designers Exhibition after Mr. Dunlop graduated from his product design degree and he decided to try to turn it into a business.To raise money for the idea, he toured the City’s private companies which fund new business and found a supporter in the finance group Mint. He introduced his idea to four of Mint’s directors and won their support. Mint has committed around £500,000 to MyHab and taken a share of 30 per cent in Mr. Dunlop’s business. The first Myhabs should be tested at festivals this summer, before being marketed fully next year.Mr. Dunlop said that the design, which accommodates two people, could have other uses, such as for disaster relief and housing for the London Olympics.For music events, the cardboard houses will be ordered online and put up at the sites by the Myhab team before the festival-goers arrive and removed by the company afterwards.They can be personalized and the company will offer reductions on the expense if people agree to sell exterior (外部的) advertising space.The biggest festivals attract tens of thousands of participants, with Glastonbury having some 150,000 each year. Altogether there are around 100 annual music festivals where people camp in the UK. The events are becoming increasingly environmentally conscious.76. “Eco-friendly tents” in paragraph 1 refer to tents _______.A. economically desirableB. favorable to the environmentC. for holding music performancesD. designed for disaster relief77. Mr. Dunlop established his business ______.A. independently with an interest-free loan from MintB. with the approval of the City’s administrationC. in partnership with a finance groupD. with the help of a Japanese architect78. It is implied in the passage that _______.A. the weather in the UK is changeable in summerB. most performances at British festivals are given in the open airC. the cardboard tents produced by Mr. Dunlop can be user-tailoredD. cardboard tents can be easily put up and removed by users.79. The passage is mainly concerned with ______.A. an attempt at developing recyclable tentsB. some efforts at making full use of cardboardsC. an unusual success of a graduation projectD. the effects of using cardboard tents on music festivals(E)Directions: Read the following text and choose the most suitable heading from A—F for each paragraph. There is one extra heading which you do not need.80.There were the older jazz musicians who hung around our house when I was young. I saw how much they practiced, how serious they were about their art. I knew then I had to work just as hardif I wanted to succeed. Of course, my father inspired me a lot, and many teachers took the time to 81.Yes. We ’ve done such a poor job with music education because, as a society, we haven ’t maintained the kind of education that a true artist and musician needs. Young people haven ’t been able to equate romance and talent with music. For instance, most of the people who make it in the music industry today have to look good. How they sound is secondary. Sarah Vaughan, Bessie Smith, Ella Fitzgerald — those big, romantic queens of jazz music wouldn ’t make it in today ’s 82. cadence of their language. I’d call it folk music. When I’m away from home, I make a point of ’s on the radio.83 The same music is on the radio all over the world, and the American sound is overwhelming. Even the pop music that ’s produced and created in foreign countries has that American beat, that underscore of funk. As a musician, I’m not interested in hearing recycled versions of the same genre over and over. Any music that doesn ’t have a development section just isn ’t interesting to 84. The music press has so much to introduce these days, and jazz is just a small fraction of it. Because some people are intimidated by jazz, they don ’t cover it unless it ’s a big name. new jazz musicians don ’t get much of break. A lot of editors don ’t say anything about jazz these days unless it ’s Marsalis. That ’s a shame. What VH1 is doing with their Save the Music campaign is phenomenal. They ’re getting all these instruments out to needy kids. It ’s the kind of thing all networks should be doing.第II 卷（共45分）I.
