A
Emily Bonfim Camargo, a 10-year-old girl, has cerebral palsy (大脑性瘫痪). Because of her condition, her involuntary movements prevent her from freely holding objects with her hands or standing up. She’s never been-able to walk, but that doesn’t mean she doesn’t have the same dreams and hopes as other children. In particular, she’s always wanted to ride a bicycle.
“That was her dream, and I had to do something to help,” her grandfather, Clovis Urias, a 69-year-old former construction worker, said. First he tried to make his granddaughter’s dream come true by buying her a tricycle (三轮车). Unfortunately, she was unable to hold the handlebars to guide the vehicle, and she couldn’t keep her balance on the seat. Her grandfather, however, isn’t a man who is easily discouraged.
In his home workshop, he started to think of how he could make a more stable tricycle for her. He started to take things apart and put the useful pieces back together. “I fixed the pedals with brakes, and I didn’t put on handlebars,” he told Sempre Familia, a local news medium.
This vehicle isn’t just fun; it’s also practical; Clovis added a basket behind the seat, so that Emily can carry her backpack for school, or some groceries, because she likes to go to the supermarket and bakery with him. Emily’s special tricycle is also stylish. “After the tricycle was ready, I painted it pink and purple because Emily chose those colors. She was very happy, and I was even happier,” Clovis said.
There’s no cure for cerebral palsy, although there is medicine to decrease involuntary muscle movements. So what does the future hold for Emily Only time will tell, but the support of her family will fill her future with hope.
1. Which of the following word can best describe Clovis
A. Brave and calm. B. Determined and loving.
C. Cooperative and out-going. D. Ambitious and shy.
2. How would Emily control the tricycle her grandfather made
A. By holding the handlebars.
B. By keeping her balance on the seat.
C. By pressing the brakes on the pedals.
D. By putting her hand on the brakes.
3. What’s the main idea of the text
A. A family that is full of love.
B. A tricycle made of useful pieces.
C. A girl got a present from her grandfather.
D. A grandfather creates a tricycle for his granddaughter.

French children are saying “Hello” to the new academic year and “Bye” to their cell phones during school hours. That’s because a new law has come into effect which bans phone use by students up to the age of 15. The rule, which follows a campaign promise by French President Emmanuel Macron, also bans tablets and smart watches.
The ban s also in place at break times with exceptions in cases of emergency and for disabled children, the French Education Ministry said in a statement. In emergencies, students can ask their teachers for permission to use their phones. Meanwhile, high schools can voluntarily carry out the measure.
Education Minister Jean-Michel Blanquer said the new rules aim to help children focus on lessons, better socialize and reduce social media use. The ban is also designed to fight online bullying and prevent thefts and violence in school. Blanquer has claimed the rule would improve discipline among France’s 12 million school students, nearly 90% of whom have mobile phones. “Being open to technologies of the future doesn’t mean we have to accept all their uses,” Blanquer said in June as the bill was going through in Parliament.
As for carrying out the ban it’s up to individual school administrations to decide how to put through the ban. School principals can decide to store students’ phones in lockers or allow them to keep them, switched off, in their backpacks. The law allows teachers to take away the phones until the end of the day in case of someone disobeying the bans.
Jacqueline Kay-Cessou, whose 14-year-old son, David, is entering eighth grade at the Camille See International School, told the reporter she was happy to hear of the ban. “It’s fantastic news. It’s something I’ve wanted for years,” Kay-Cessou said. “I think phones are socially harmful. Kids can’t think and sit still anymore and it’s highly addictive.”
4. What is the new rule for ordinary French students in the new term
A. They are not allowed to use their watches.
B. They should follow President Macron.
C. They should say “Hello” to school teachers.
D. They can’t use their cell-phones at school.
5. What is the opinion of Jean-Michel Blanquer
A. Cell phones are the only reason for school violence.
B. The society should be strict with all the school students.
C. New technology should be properly used at school.
D. None of the young students should have mobile phones.
6. What is the purpose of the last paragraph
A. To show the parental response to the ban.
B. To provide a conclusion for the text.
C. To offer an example for the new law.
D. To make a list of cell phone’s harms.
【答案】4. D 5. C 6. A
【解析】

细节理解题。根据第一段“That’s because a new law has come into effect which bans phone use by students up to the age of 15. The rule, which follows a campaign promise by French President Emmanuel Macron, also bans tablets and smart watches.(这是因为一项新的法律已经生效，禁止15岁以下的学生使用手机。该规定遵循了法国总统埃Emmanuel Macron的竞选承诺，也禁止平板电脑和智能手表。)”可知，新规定禁止15岁以下的学生在学校使用手机。故选D。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段““Being open to technologies of the future doesn’t mean we have to accept all their uses,” Blanquer said in June as the bill was going through in Parliament.(“对未来的技术持开放态度并不意味着我们必须接受它们的所有用途，”布朗基在6月份该法案在议会通过时表示。)”可知，Blanquer认为新技术应该在学校恰当使用。故选C。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“It’s fantastic news. It’s something I’ve wanted for years(这真是个好消息。这是我多年来一直想要的)”和“I think phones are socially harmful. Kids can’t think and sit still anymore and it’s highly addictive.(我认为手机对社会有害。孩子们再也不能思考和静坐了，这很容易上瘾。)”可知，这一段主要讲述一位学生的母亲对这项禁令的看法，所以，这一段的目的是要展示父母对禁令的反应。故选A。

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(联合) 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.”
7. 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.
8. 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.
9. 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.
10. 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.
【答案】7. D 8. C 9. C 10. A
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇说明文。主要讲述UNESCO把4月30号定为国际爵士乐日，希望意识到爵士乐的价值，但实际收效甚微。
【7题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中的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(联合) voice across cultures.可知，UNESCO把4月30号定为国际爵士乐日是为了让人们重视爵士乐，意识到它的重要性以及它作为连接各文化的纽带之声的潜在功能，也就是为了让人们意识到爵士乐的价值。故选D。
【8题详解】
代词指代题。根据前文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可知，尽管UNESCO为爵士乐设了纪念日，但美国的爵士乐听众依然在减少，并且年龄在老化，爵士乐没能将年轻一代人连接起来。再结合It’s Jason Moran’s job to help change that(是Jason Moran的工作是帮助改变那一情况)可推测，that指代的是前文中爵士乐在年轻一代人中失去吸引力的现象。故选C。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段中的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可知，Moran认为现在爵士乐不能 以1908或1958年的方式来呈现，因为世界已经不同了，所以爵士乐必须不断进步，说明随着时代的 发展，爵士乐也要跟上时代才不会被年轻一代所抛弃。故选C。
【10题详解】
标题选择题。通读全文可知本文主要讲UNESCO为提高人们对爵士乐的重视而设立爵士日， 但实际收效甚微。有人认为爵士乐应随着时代的进步而进步，否则将失去对人们的吸引力，因此本文主要是探索爵士乐的未来，故选A。

【13题详解】
根据上文“Organizing a speech is not just a matter of arranging your ideas you already have. (组织演讲不仅仅是整理你已有的想法)”可知，空处与上文是转折关系，说明组织演讲的深层次意义。由此可知，A选项“Rather, it is an important part of shaping the ideas themselves.(相反，它是塑造思想本身的一个重要部分)”符合语境，其中的“it”指代上文的“Organizing a speech”。故选A项。

Best wishes!

第一部分 阅读理解(共两节，满分45分)
第一节(共10小题;每小题3分，满分30分)
阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
Emily Bonfim Camargo, a 10-year-old girl, has cerebral palsy (大脑性瘫痪). Because of her condition, her involuntary movements prevent her from freely holding objects with her hands or standing up. She’s never been-able to walk, but that doesn’t mean she doesn’t have the same dreams and hopes as other children. In particular, she’s always wanted to ride a bicycle.
“That was her dream, and I had to do something to help,” her grandfather, Clovis Urias, a 69-year-old former construction worker, said. First he tried to make his granddaughter’s dream come true by buying her a tricycle (三轮车). Unfortunately, she was unable to hold the handlebars to guide the vehicle, and she couldn’t keep her balance on the seat. Her grandfather, however, isn’t a man who is easily discouraged.
In his home workshop, he started to think of how he could make a more stable tricycle for her. He started to take things apart and put the useful pieces back together. “I fixed the pedals with brakes, and I didn’t put on handlebars,” he told Sempre Familia, a local news medium.
This vehicle isn’t just fun; it’s also practical; Clovis added a basket behind the seat, so that Emily can carry her backpack for school, or some groceries, because she likes to go to the supermarket and bakery with him. Emily’s special tricycle is also stylish. “After the tricycle was ready, I painted it pink and purple because Emily chose those colors. She was very happy, and I was even happier,” Clovis said.
There’s no cure for cerebral palsy, although there is medicine to decrease involuntary muscle movements. So what does the future hold for Emily Only time will tell, but the support of her family will fill her future with hope.
1. Which of the following word can best describe Clovis
A. Brave and calm. B. Determined and loving.
C. Cooperative and out-going. D. Ambitious and shy.
2. How would Emily control the tricycle her grandfather made
A. By holding the handlebars.
B. By keeping her balance on the seat.
C. By pressing the brakes on the pedals.
D. By putting her hand on the brakes.
3. What’s the main idea of the text
A. A family that is full of love.
B. A tricycle made of useful pieces.
C. A girl got a present from her grandfather.
D. A grandfather creates a tricycle for his granddaughter.
B
French children are saying “Hello” to the new academic year and “Bye” to their cell phones during school hours. That’s because a new law has come into effect which bans phone use by students up to the age of 15. The rule, which follows a campaign promise by French President Emmanuel Macron, also bans tablets and smart watches.
The ban s also in place at break times with exceptions in cases of emergency and for disabled children, the French Education Ministry said in a statement. In emergencies, students can ask their teachers for permission to use their phones. Meanwhile, high schools can voluntarily carry out the measure.
Education Minister Jean-Michel Blanquer said the new rules aim to help children focus on lessons, better socialize and reduce social media use. The ban is also designed to fight online bullying and prevent thefts and violence in school. Blanquer has claimed the rule would improve discipline among France’s 12 million school students, nearly 90% of whom have mobile phones. “Being open to technologies of the future doesn’t mean we have to accept all their uses,” Blanquer said in June as the bill was going through in Parliament.
As for carrying out the ban, it’s up to individual school administrations to decide how to put through the ban. School principals can decide to store students’ phones in lockers or allow them to keep them, switched off, in their backpacks. The law allows teachers to take away the phones until the end of the day in case of someone disobeying the bans.
Jacqueline Kay-Cessou, whose 14-year-old son, David, is entering eighth grade at the Camille See International School, told the reporter she was happy to hear of the ban. “It’s fantastic news. It’s something I’ve wanted for years,” Kay-Cessou said. “I think phones are socially harmful. Kids can’t think and sit still anymore and it’s highly addictive.”
4. What is the new rule for ordinary French students in the new term
A They are not allowed to use their watches.
B. They should follow President Macron.
C. They should say “Hello” to school teachers.
D. They can’t use their cell-phones at school.
5 What is the opinion of Jean-Michel Blanquer
A. Cell phones are the only reason for school violence.
B. The society should be strict with all the school students.
C. New technology should be properly used at school.
D None of the young students should have mobile phones.
6. What is the purpose of the last paragraph
A. To show the parental response to the ban.
B. To provide a conclusion for the text.
C. To offer an example for the new law.
D. To make a list of cell phone’s harms.
C
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(联合) 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.”
7. 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.
8. 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.
9. 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.
10. 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.
