People love to celebrate. Whether it’s a birthday or a wedding, we enjoy having a reason to relax and
have a good time. This is especially true for festivals that welcome spring and summer. Here are some
celebrations you may not know about.
Carabao is a buffalo(水牛) found in the Philippines, and the Carabao Festival is a day of dancing and
revelry(狂欢)in May that celebrates the strong animal that plays such an important role in Philippine
farming economy. The animals are cleaned before a parade in which 20 or more of them—many decorated
with paint and colorful ribbons—walked through the streets.
Cooper’s Hill is a steep, grassy knoll(圆丘) near Gloucester, England, which is longer than a
football field. Cooper’s Hill is a late May event in which participants race one another to beat a nine-pound
cheese round to the bottom of the hill. The event attracts lots of contestants but is harder than it sounds.
Lots of contestants bite the dust before they reach the finish line. The winner gets the cheese.
The Boryeong Mud Festival takes place each summer near Seoul, Republic of Korea. Tons of mud are
trucked from the Boryeong mud flats to a beach area near the event. People participate in lots of activities,
including a mud pool, mud skiing and mudslides. By the time the celebration is over, anyone coated in
更多资料添加微信号：hiknow_007 淘宝搜索店铺：乐知课堂soft or dried mud can take a short walk to the beach for a quick bath.
La Tomatina is an organized tomato fight that takes place in Bunol, Spain, every August. The
festival’s origins are unclear, but that hasn’t lessened anyone’s enthusiasm. The battle lasts for about an
hour, and participants have to throw squashed(挤烂的) tomatoes to reduce the risk of injury. After the
fight, both the people and the streets are covered with tomato guts. Fire trucks then begin the difficult task

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 white 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. ”
【语篇概述】UNESCO把4月30日定为国际爵士音乐节, 旨在让人们认识到爵士乐的价值。Moran,
一位爵士乐顾问, 提到虽然现在爵士乐不如以前受欢迎, 但他想进一步探索, 让它继续发扬光大, 与
时俱进。
5. 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.
【解析】选D。细节理解题。根据第一段的 “to raise awareness of jazz music, its significance, and its
potential as a unifying voice across cultures” 可知, UNESCO把4月30日定为国际爵士音乐节的目的
更多资料添加微信号：hiknow_007 淘宝搜索店铺：乐知课堂是提高人们对爵士乐以及它的重要性和潜力的认识, 故选D。
6. 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.
【解析】选C。词义猜测题。that指代第二段中提到的爵士乐观众减少, 不能得到年轻一代的青睐,
故选C。
7. 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.
【解析】选C。推理判断题。根据第四段Moran说的“. . . jazz is not black and white anymore. It’s
actually color, and it’s actually digital. ”及第五段“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, 他认为
世界在变, 爵士乐应该与时俱进, 故选C。
8. 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
【解析】选A。主旨大意题。第一段提到了国际爵士音乐节的目的是让人们认识到爵士乐的价值。

Dannis was waiting at the airline ticket counter when he first noticed the young woman with shiny
black hair pulled tightly into a knot.She wore black boots of soft leather.Dannis struggled to see her face—
she was ahead of him in line—but it was not until she bought her ticket and turned to walk away that he
realized her beauty, which was fairskinned and bigeyed.She seemed aware that he was staring at her and
lowered her gaze abruptly.
His flight was leaving in an hour.To kill time, Dannis stepped into an airport bar and ordered a
Scotch.While sipping it, he watched the flow of travelers through the terminal (航站楼)until he caught
sight of the blackhaired girl in the leather coat again, deep in conversation with a blonde girl (金发女孩)．
“Invite her for a drink？” Dannis hesitated.In another instant，the two women separated, neither of
whose directions was toward him.
When next he saw her, Dannis was buying a magazine and became aware someone was pushing
him.At first, he was startled (受惊吓的)that anyone would be so close as to touch him, but when he saw
who it was, he smiled.
“Busy place，” Dannis said.
She looked up at him and blushed.Wordlessly, she moved away and joined the crowds in the terminal.
Dannis was at the counter with his magazine, but when he reached into his pocket for his wallet, the
pocket was empty.Where could I have left it? His mind was racing, the credit cards, the cash, the
identification card...His stomach stirred with something very like fear.“The girl who was so near to me！”
he said to himself.All at once he understood she had picked his pocket.What shall he do?
First, find a policeman, tell him what has happened.He would probably never see his wallet
again.Dannis gritted his teeth.When glancing around for the police, suddenly，he spotted the blackhaired
girl, seated against a front window of the terminal.She seemed absorbed in a book.
参考答案
Paragraph 1:
A seat beside her was empty, and Dannis occupied it.He felt a wave of anger swept over
him.“Where is my wallet？” he yelled.The blackhaired girl glanced up from her reading, with a confused
look on her face.Dannis stood up, glared at her and shouted，“You stole my wallet！” The crowds
began to gossip.The girl turned deadly pale, looking so restless that words failed her.A strange silence hung
更多资料添加微信号：hiknow_007 淘宝搜索店铺：乐知课堂in the air.Abruptly, she leaped from the seat.
Paragraph 2:
The girl ran and Dannis ran after her.After a while, Dannis finally grabbed her by the arm.At
exactly that moment, a policeman approached them and asked about what happened.Dannis hastened to
explain it while the girl frowned with a shake of her head.After further enquiries, the policeman took out a
wallet and handed it to Dannis, adding that someone had found it in the toilet.What a mistake he had made!
Overwhelmed by guilt, Dannis made an apology to the girl.
