10、 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
11、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 anc
12、hor 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
13、 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 s
14、ometimes 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.

17、rous. D. Its discouraging. 解析： 24.推理判断题。根据第一段中的 Trying to help injured, displaced or sick creatures can be heartbreaking; survival is never certain.可知救助受伤动物是令人心碎的，因为不知道救助的动物是否能活下去，也就是为救助动物而花费的努力可能会白费，这是不可避免的。故选 A。 25.推理判断题。根据第二段中的 She had found a young owl(猫头鹰 ) on the ground. When I arrived, I saw
18、a 2-to 3-week-old owl.可知有人给作者打电话是因为有只小猫头鹰掉在地上了，作者赶过去看看情况。文中并没有说小猫头鹰受伤了，作者只是过去看情况，所以 D 选项错误，故选 C。 26.细节理解题。根据第四段中的 I placed the chick in the nest, and it quickly calmed down.可知在作者把小猫头鹰放在窝里之后，它很快就安静下来，所以是窝让小猫头鹰安静下来的。故选 A。 27.观点态度题。根据前文描述可知作者为小猫头鹰做了窝，并且帮助它找回了父母，小猫头鹰的父母还未它带 回了午餐，作者的救助成功了，说明结局是美好的。在结合第一段
19、的 However, when it works, it is simply beautiful.可推测，作者感觉很美好。故选 B。 答案： 24. A 25. C 26. A 27. B C Some of the worlds 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 Organ
20、ization) 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
21、 generations. Its Jason Morans job to help change that. As the Kennedy Centers 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 its not really a part of the American appetite,” Moran tells Na
22、tional Public Radios reporter Neal Conan. “What Im hoping to accomplish is that my generation and younger start to reconsider and understand that jazz is not black and write anymore. Its actually color, and its actually digital.” Moran says one of the problems with jazz today is that the entertainme
23、nt aspect of the music has been lost. “The music cant 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 Wallers music for a dance party, “just to kind of
24、 put it back in the mind that Waller is dance music as much as it is concert music,” says Moran. “For me, its the recontextualization. In music, where does the emotion(情感 ) lie? Are we, as humans, gaining any insight(感悟 ) on how talk about ourselves and how something as abstract as a Charlie Parker
25、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 b
26、irth 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
27、young. D. The jazz audience becoming larger. 30. What can we infer about Morans 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. Explori
28、ng 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： 28.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 pot
29、ential as a unifying(联合 ) voice across cultures. 可知 UNESCO把 4月 30号定位国际爵士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。 29.推理判断题。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
30、 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 Its Jason Morans 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中失去吸引力的现象。故选 C。 30.细节理解题。根据第五段中的 The music cant be presented today the way it was in 1908 or 1958. It has to continue to move, becaus
31、e the way the world works is not the same,可知 Moran认为现在爵士乐不能以 19.8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抛弃。故选 C。 31.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。 答案： 28. D 29. C 30. C 31. A D A build-it-yourself sola
32、r 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, its an excellent water collector. Unfortunately, you must carry the necessary equipment with you, since its all but impos
33、sible to find natural substitutes. The only components required, though, are a 55 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 const
34、ruct 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 catchers 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
35、 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 sheets 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
36、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
37、 is full, you can suck the refreshment out through the tube, and wont 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. Its delicate. B. Its expensive. C. Its complex. D. Its portable. 33. What does the underlin
38、ed phrase “the water catcher” in paragraph 2 refer to? A. The tube. B. The still. C. The hole. D. The cup. 34. Whats 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 sheets center down. D. Cover the hole with the plastic she
39、et. 35. When a solar still works, drops of water come into the cup from _. A. the plastic tube B. outside the hole C. the open air D. beneath the sheet 解析： 32.推理判断题。根据第一段最后一句话 These pieces can be folded into a neat little pack and fastened on your belt.可知制作整流器的东西可以叠放在一个小包里，系在腰间，这说明制作整流器的设备很轻便， porta
40、ble表示“轻便的；手提的”，故选 D。 33.推理判断题。根据 Try to make the hole in a damp area to increase the water catchers productivity.可知最好在潮湿的地方挖洞，以提高接水器的工 作效率。“接水器”指的是在潮湿的地方挖洞，在洞的底部放一个杯子，杯子上方用膜覆盖，整个装置构成接水器，而不是某个部分。这一题很容易错选 D，但是就算在干燥的地方挖洞，杯子也可以接水，杯子接水的事实并不会因为周围环境的变化而变化，杯子的工作效率是不变的。故选 B。 34.细节理解题。根据第三段 Next, cover the ho
41、le with the plastic sheet, securing the edges of the plastic with dirt and weighting the sheets center down with a rock.可知最后一步是weighting the sheets center down with a rock（放一块石头在覆盖膜的中间，把它压下去），故选 C。 35.推理判断题。结合第三段中的 Ground water evaporates (蒸发 ) and collects on the sheet until small drops of water fo
42、rm, run down the material and fall off into the cup.可知地下水蒸发，在覆盖膜上聚集起来，直到形成小水滴在杯子里，覆盖膜是在杯子上面的，水滴落入杯子里，所以水滴是凝聚在覆盖膜的下面。故选 D。 答案： 32. D 33. B 34. C 35. D 第二节 (共 5小题；每小题 2分，满分 10分 ) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 If anyone had told me three years ago that I would be spending most of my weekend
43、s 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
44、 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 doctors bill for my sons food poisoning. I was, nevertheless, talked into going on another fun-fil
45、led 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 bath
46、room 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
47、 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. F. After the trip, my family became quite interested in camping. G. There was no shade as t
48、he trees were no more than 3 feet tall. 解析： 36.根据前文可知三年前作者认为露营和自己无关，而后文中表明作者热爱露营，暗示此处作者对待露营的情感态度应该出现转变。 D选项中的 however表示转折。其次， If anyone had told me three years ago that I would be spending most of my weekends camping 暗示作者态度的转变就在三年前， D 选项中的 since then“自从那 时候起”和前文时间吻合。故选 D。 37.根据后文 We sleep in a tent,
49、 cooked over an open fire, and walked a long distance to take the shower and use the bathroom.可知作者第一次露营条件和艰苦， C选项 The trip they look me on was a rough one.中的 rough暗示了这一点，符合语境。故选 C。 38.根据前文 We sleep in a tent, cooked over an open fire, and walked a long distance to take the shower and use the bathroom.可知作者第一次露营时住帐篷，露天生活做饭，走很远的距离去洗澡、上厕所，条件很艰苦，而后文 Instead, we had a pop-up camper with comfortable beds and an air cond
