I work with Volunteers for Wildlife, a rescue and education organization at
Bailey Arboretum in Locust Valley. Trying to help injured, displaced or sick creatures
can be heartbreaking; survival is never certain. However, when it works, it is simply
beautiful.
I got a rescue call from a woman in Muttontown. She had found a young owl (猫
头鹰) on the ground. When I arrived, I saw a 2-to 3-week-old owl. It had already been
placed in a carrier for safety.
I examined the chick (雏鸟) and it seemed fine. If I could locate the nest, I might
have been able to put it back, but no luck. My next work was to construct a nest and
anchor it in a tree.
The homeowner was very helpful. A wire basket was found. I put some pine
branches into the basket to make this nest safe and comfortable. I placed the chick in
the nest, and it quickly calmed down.
Now all that was needed were the parents, but they were absent. I gave the
homeowner a recording of the hunger screams of owl chicks. These advertise the
presence of chicks to adults; they might also encourage our chick to start calling as
well. I gave the owner as much information as possible and headed home to see what
news the night might bring.
A nervous night to be sure, but sometimes the spirits of nature smile on us all!

The homeowner called to say that the parents had responded to the recordings. I drove
over and saw the chick in the nest looking healthy and active. And it was
accompanied in the nest by the greatest sight of all — LUNCH! The parents had done
their duty and would probably continue to do so.

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.”
第4 页（共10 页）
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.”
28. 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.
29. 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.
30. 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.
31. 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.

A buld-it-yourself solar still（蒸馏器）is one of the best ways to obtain
drinking water in areas where the liquid is not readily available. Developed by two
doctors in the U.S. Department of Agriculture, it’s an excellent water collector.
Unfortunately, you must carry the necessary equipment with you, since it’s all but
impossible to find natural substitutes. The only components required, though, are a
5'×5' sheet of clear or slightly milky plastic, six feet of plastic tube, and a container —
perhaps just a drinking cup — to catch the water. These pieces can be folded into a
neat little pack and fastened on your belt.
To construct a working still, use a sharp stick or rock to dig a hole four feet
across and three feet deep. Try to make the hole in a damp area to increase the water
catcher’s productivity. Place your cup in the deepest part of the hole. Then lay the
tube in place so that one end rests all the way in the cup and the rest of the line runs
up — and out — the side of the hole.
Next, cover the hole with the plastic sheet, securing the edges of the plastic with
dirt and weighting the sheet’s center down with a rock. The plastic should now form a
cone (圆锥体) with 45-degree-angled sides. The low point of the sheet must be
centered directly over, and no more than three inches above, the cup.
The solar still works by creating a greenhouse under the plastic. Ground water
evaporates (蒸发) and collects on the sheet until small drops of water form, run down
the material and fall off into the cup. When the container is full, you can suck the
refreshment out through the tube, and won’t have to break down the still every time
you need a drink.
32. What do we know about the solar still equipment from the first paragraph?
A. It’s delicate. B. It’s expensive. C. It’s complex. D. It’s portable.
33. What does the underlined phrase “the water catcher” in paragraph 2 refer to?
A. The tube.
B. The still.
C. The hole.
D. The cup.
34. What’s the last step of constructing a working solar still?
A. Dig a hole of a certain size.
B. Put the cup in place.
C. Weight the sheet’s center down.
D. Cover the hole with the plastic sheet.
35. When a solar still works, drops of water come into the cup form
.

A. the plastic tube

If anyone had told me three years ago that I would be spending most of my
weekends camping. I would have laughed heartily. Campers, in my eyes, were people
who enjoyed insect bites, ill-cooked meals, and uncomfortable sleeping bags. They
had nothing in common with me.
36
.
The friends who introduced me to camping thought that it meant to be a pioneer.
37 We sleep in a tent, cooked over an open fire, and walked a long distance to
take the shower and use the bathroom. This brief visit with Mother Nature cost me
two days off from work, recovering from a bad case of sunburn and the doctor’s bill
for my son’s food poisoning.
I was, nevertheless, talked into going on another fun-filled holiday in the
wilderness. 38 Instead, we had a pop-up camper with comfortable beds and an
air conditioner. My nature-loving friends had remembered to bring all the necessities
of life.
39 We have done a lot of it since. Recently, we bought a twenty-eight-foot
travel trailer complete with a bathroom and a built-in TV set. There is a separate
bedroom, a modern kitchen with a refrigerator. The trailer even has matching carpet
and curtains.
40 It must be true that sooner or later, everyone finds his or her way back
to nature. I recommend that you find your way in style.
A. This time there was no tent.
B. Things are going to be improved.
C. The trip they took me on was a rough one.
D. I was to learn a lot about camping since then, however.
E. I must say that I have certainly come to enjoy camping.

G. There was no shade as the trees were no more than 3 feet tall.

While high school does not generally encourage students to explore new aspects

process and found something that has changed my 42 at college for the better: I
discovered ASL---American Sign Language (美式手语).

hearing, and so are all my friends. The 44 languages were enough in all my
interactions (交往). Little did I know that I would discover my 45

The 46 began during my first week at college. I watched as the ASL Club

There has been a recent trend in the food service industry toward lower fat
content and less salt. This trend, which was started by the medical community（医学
界） 61 a method of fighting heart disease, has had some unintended side
62 (effect) such as overweight and heart disease---the very thing the medical
community was trying to fight.
Fat and salt are very important parts of a diet. They are required 63
(process) the food that we eat, to recover from injury and for several other bodily
第9 页（共10 页）
functions. When fat and salt 64 (remove) from food, the food tastes as if is
missing something. As 65 result, people will eat more food to try to make up
for that something missing. Even 66 (bad), the amount of fast food that people
eat goes up. Fast food
67 (be) full of fat and salt; by 68 (eat) more fast food people will get
more salt and fat than they need in their diet.
Having enough fat and salt in your meals will reduce the urge to snack (吃点心)
between meals and will improve the taste of your food. However, be 69
(care) not to go to extremes. Like anything, it is possible to have too much of both,

In the summer holiday following my eighteen birthday, I took driving lessons. I
still remember how hard first day was. Before getting into the car, I thought I had
learned the instructor’s orders, so once I started the car, my mind goes blank. I forgot
what he had said to me altogether. The instructor kept repeating the word, “Speed
up!” “Slow down!” “Turning left!” I was so much nervous that I could hardly tell
which direction was left. A few minutes late, the instructor asked me to stop the car. It
was a relief and I came to a suddenly stop just in the middle on the road.
