B

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.

24.

What is unavoidable in the author’s rescue work according to paragraph 1?

A. Efforts made in vain.

B. Getting injured in his work.

25. Why was the author called to Muttontown?

A. To rescue a woman.

B. To take care of a woman.

C. To look at a baby owl.

D. To cure a young owl.

made the chick calm down?

A. A new nest.

B. Some food.

C. A recording.

D. Its parents.

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

)

6

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 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.

7

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 build-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

＇

fin d natural substitutes. The only components required, though, are a 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 delica

te.

C.

It’s complex.

.

B.

D.

.

33.

What does the underlined phrase “the water catcher” in paragraph 2 refer to?

A. The tube.

C. The hole.

B. The still.

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 from

.

A. the plastic tube

C. the open air

B. outside the hole

D. beneath the sheet
