26、Now，jazz music is an important part of Indianapolis’ culture. Jazz clubs around the city still host concerts with local jazz musicians like Rob Dixon and Joel Tucker. One of these clubs, the Chatterbox Jazz Club, still has live jazz seven nights a week.
But the real history of jazz in Indy is much less simple. Along with the Avenue's culture, jazz music was gone from the streets for many years.
Indiana Avenue was the heart of a neighborhood along the White River. It was a center for black music and live street music. The wealthy avoided this area. So it became a place that poorer families, including many African-American and immigrant ( 移民) families, moved to.
Jazz prospered in the mix of American cultures around the Avenue in the 1930s and 1940s. But in the 1950s, things changed. After the war, there were projects to make the city beautiful and build a university nearby. Both of these seemed like good changes. However, the new university and buildings caused poorer families to have to leave the area. This destroyed the Indiana Avenue community and with it, its jazz culture.
After many years, Indianapolis remembered the value of its arts and music culture. It began to bring back lost cultures such as live music on the Avenue. To do so, it began to make new changes. The changes included repairing historic areas like the Avenue. Once again, the high living costs in these historic arts areas pushed low-income families out.
Today there are several old-style jazz clubs where friends can meet up to remember the past or just enjoy a summer evening. It might seem at first that jazz is alive again, but there is a sad reality behind these jazz clubs: Modern Indy jazz is only a shadow (影子) of the lively culture that was once on Indiana Avenue.
【1】What does the underlined word "prospered" in Paragraph 4 mean?
A．Disappeared quickly.
B．Arrived soon.
C．Recovered soon.
D．Developed well.
【2】What did Indianapolis do to bring back its lost culture?
A．It rebuilt some old important areas.
B．It invited old jazz musicians to sing in the city.
C．It educated people about the value of music culture.
D．It settled low-income families in the Indiana Avenue community.
【3】According to the passage, which of the following about modern Indy jazz is true?
A．Its home culture is gone.
B．Its styles are too traditional.
C．It shows the sadness of the poor.
D．It is no longer a favorite of the young
27、 He must have had that nice window seat all the way from London. An Indian, he looked under 40, medium height, slim and wore a suit. I got an aisle seat next to him. I looked at him and tried to smile as I sat down. But there was a blank, distant look that made me stop mid-smile. One of those, I thought.
Each time I take a flight, I try to chat with a fellow passenger. Most people are responsive when they’re alone at 40,000 feet. But the man wearing the suit on my left was a puzzle. One of those non-resident Indians, I thought. What do you lose if you just smiled at a fellow human being? Most of the time, he stared fixedly at the seat in front of him. Why are some people so full of themselves?
When the stewardess brought lunch, the unfriendly man had his eyes shut. She gave me a should-I-wake-him-up look. I didn’t say anything, and he didn’t get his lunch. Serves him right. He soon woke up and saw me eat. But he didn’t ask for his meal. He could just have pressed a button. That’s his problem.
We still have almost two hours of flying left. I read a magazine. I try to play a video game. I listen to music. He does nothing. At times our eyes meet, but he isn’t all there. He’s like no other passenger I’ve ever sat next to. By the time our jet lands in Mumbai, I find his presence almost uncomfortable. As we taxi down the runway, I hear the man speak for the first time—on his mobile phone. He seems to be discussing his connecting flight. About somebody receiving him… Just before the aircraft comes to a halt, he’s the first to stand up. “Excuse me,” he says to me. “May I leave? I can’t miss my connecting flight.”
Hmm…! I get up to make way for him when he goes on mechanically, “My wife and child died in a road accident in Delhi.” I’m shocked by his words. Suddenly, everything falls in place.
Despite his terrible loss and the sufferings he has been enduring, he was calm, controlled throughout. And, maybe, in the midst of his soul-crushing sorrow, he didn’t want to burden a stranger with his pain.
【1】How does the author find the passenger in a suit sitting close by during the flight?
A.Dangerous. B.Angry.
C.Troublesome. D.Dull.
【2】Which statement is true according to the text?
A.The author was guilty of not informing the man of the lunch service.
B.The man showed little interest in the author’s attempt to make acquaintances.
C.The man refused to talk on the plane because he had trouble connecting the flights.
D.A car crash cost the man his beloved family in Mumbai.
【3】What does the underlined sentence mean?
A.Everything goes wrong to a certain extent.
B.The man’s strangeness has an understandable reason.
C.Everyone on board feels sorry for mistaking the man.
D.All passengers make way for the man.
【4】What lessons did the author learn in the end?
A.Never assume until you walk in the other’s shoes.
B.Nothing is so certain as the unexpected.
C.What’s done cannot be undone.
D.Let bygones be bygones.
28、It is common to have difficulties sleeping during the day. Humans are naturally wired to sleep best at night and be awake during the day. However, modern work schedules require some people to try to accommodate the unnatural schedule of shift（轮班）work — being awake at night and sleeping during the day.
In order to make this adjustment, you need to pay special attention to your sleep environment and your preparation for sleep. If shift work is a necessary part of your work life, here are some suggestions that may help.
Arrange to sleep uninterrupted in a quiet, dark room. This means you may have to turn off or unplug your phone, hang darkening curtains on the windows or wear a sleep eye mask, and train your family and friends to leave you alone while you sleep.
Fit in a nap（小睡）. When your daytime sleep period is too short, taking a short nap of less than 30 minutes just before work or on a break has been shown to improve alertness and enhance performance.
Develop and follow a sleep routine. It's best if you go to sleep and wake up at the same time every day. Try not to vary this too much on weekends. Your body likes routine.
Take extra care to make healthy choices. You may be tempted to reach for unhealthy foods or nicotine to stay awake or alcohol to try to sleep. But ultimately these choices are more harmful than helpful.
If you have tried all these things and are still having problems getting enough quality sleep during the day, talk to your doctor or a sleep specialist. Sometimes medications（药物治疗）may be helpful and safe. In other cases, there may be an underlying sleep disorder that needs to be addressed.
【1】The purpose of the text is to .
A.persuade workers to have a god sleep.
B.advise night workers to keep healthy
C.encourage workers to do day work
D.help night workers to sleep well
【2】What does the author recomusend?
A.A suitable account of alcohol to help sleep.
B.A regular life on weekday’s and weekends.
C.A dark room without phoebes to sleep in.
D.A break for sleeping anytime during the day.
【3】On which condition should a person turn to a sleep specialist for help?
A.If he suffers from a sleep disorder for the first time.
B.If a good sleep environment is greatly needed for him.
C.If he falls to get quality sleep through his own efforts.
D.If he has the problem of bailing to sleep in the daytime.
【4】We can learn from the test that .
A.night workers need a long time to fall asleep
B.constant breaks at work help to improve performance
C.it is difficult to create a good sleep environment
D.night work requires people to adjust their body clocks

31、
The Sculptor Speaks
Appreciation of sculpture depends upon the ability to respond to form in three dimensions(维度). That is perhaps why sculpture has been described as the most difficult of all arts; certainly it is more difficult than the arts which involve 【1】 of flat forms, shape in only two dimensions. Many more people are ‘form-blind’ than color-blind. Children learning to see, first distinguishes only two-dimensional shape; it cannot judge distances, depths. Later, for their personal safety and practical needs, they have to develop partly by 【2】 of touch, the ability to judge roughly three-dimensional distances. But after they 【3】 the requirements of practical necessity, most people go no further. Though they may 【4】 considerable accuracy in the perception(知觉，感知) of flat form, they do not make the further intellectual and emotional effort needed to 【5】 form in its full spatial existence.
This is what the sculptor must do. He must 【6】 continually to think of, and use, form in its full spatial completeness. He gets the solid shape, as it were, inside his head—he thinks of it, whatever its size, as if he were holding it completely in the hollow of his hand. He 【7】 visualizes a complex form from all round itself; he knows while he looks at one side what the other side is like, he will have to 【8】 himself with its centre of gravity, its mass, its weight; and he realizes its volume, as the space that the shape displaces in the air.
And the sensitive observer of sculpture must also learn to feel shape simply as 【9】, not as description or reminiscence(回忆，联想). He must, for example, see an egg as a simple single solid shape, quite apart from its significance as food, or from the 【10】 idea that it will become a bird. And so with solids such as a shell, a nut, a plum, a pear, a tadpole, a mushroom, a mountain peak, a kidney, a carrot, a tree-trunk, a bird, a bud, a lark, a ladybird, a bulrush, a bone. From these he can go on to appreciate more complex forms of combinations of several forms.
