  A vision explosion(爆炸)was there waiting for us as we entered the underground jazz bar.The five-member live band was playing loud, energetic music.The eager crowd couldn't get enough of it.Some nodded in satisfaction.Others tapped their feet.But most were out on the dance floor, laughing as they threw their bodies around to the music.

  With scenes like this, it's no wonder I haven't been able to leave Paris.

  There is always something going on here.I never planned to go to a jazz bar in this city.I worried at first that it wasn't French enough-I can easily see jazz at home.But some old friends of mine, who are studying in Paris, told me that I wouldn't regret it.

  It didn't take long for me to agree.The scene in front of me is in an excited mess.There's no room on the tiny dance floor.My friend tells me that this space was once used as a prison room during World War II.She's not joking.Prisoners at that time must have been shocked seeing the damp stone basement.I couldn't think of a more complete contrast to the joy on display tonight.No jazz bar in Australia would have a history like this!

  The leader of the band is an old French saxophonist in his 70s.He's cool and some kind of leader, sometimes walking up to the microphone to sing a couple of words.I'm told that he has been playing at this bar for over 45 years.So how could I refuse when he points to us and tells us to get on the dance floor too?

  I feel completely out of place-there are some skilled dancers about.Clearly many come here every week.But the energy pulls us through and we have a ball.It is easily my favourite time in Paris.I certainly didn't expect that.

  Adrian e-mailed me recently to say that he had arrived home safely.I plan to return soon too.Of course, I will have to find a way to pull myself out of Paris first.

(1)

How does the author like the city of Paris?

[  ]

A.

He doesn’t like the city because of its noisy bars.

B.

He wants to escape Paris to return home quickly.

C.

He is very interested in Jazz bars in Paris.

D.

The history of the Jazz bar is a shame to Paris.

(2)

Why does the writer feel out of place?

[  ]

A.

Because he wants to leave and go back home.

B.

Because he is not a good dancer.

C.

Because he is not used to a dance like this.

D.

Because the music is too loud.

(3)

The writer mentions Australia probably because ________.

[  ]

A.

he wants to show the differences between the jazz bars in these two places

B.

he couldn’t find a way to leave Paris

C.

he misses his friend Adrian back home

D.

Australia has jazz bars similar to ones in Paris

(4)

It can be learned that ________.

[  ]

A.

everyone in the bar enjoys himself

B.

the bars in Australia are usually quiet

C.

explosion can happen anytime in Paris bars

D.

the leader of the band was born in the 70 s

第二部分阅读理解(共20小题,每小题2分,满分40分)
A
Too often we accuse others of not listening, pretending that we ourselves are faultless, yet in our hearts we know that many of the mistakes we make come about because we haven’t listened carefully enough. We get things wrong because we haven’t listened carefully enough. We get things wrong because we haven’t quite understood what someone meant when they were talking to us. Anyone who has ever taken the minutes of a long meeting will know how hard it is to remember-- despite the benefit of notes-- exactly what everyone said. But success depends on getting things right--and that means listening.
Listening is not the same thing as hearing; it is not an effort actively. It demands attention and concentration. It may mean quizzing the speaker for additional information or for clarification------ it is always better to ask than to continue regardless and get things wrong. However, if you allow your mind to wander onto something else, even for a few minutes, you’ll miss what the speaker is saying------ probably at the very moment when he or she is saying something critical. And not having heard, you won’t know you’ve missed anything until it’s too late.
The most common bad habit we have is to start thinking of what we are going to say about the subject long before the other speaker has finished. We then stop listening. Even worse, this often adds rudeness to inattentiveness, as once you have decided what to say there is a fair chance you will interrupt to say it. Good listeners don’t interrupt. In fact it is often worth explaining the main idea of what you have just been told before going on to make your own points. Nobody is offended by this and it shows that you have listened well.
Above all be patient and accept that many people are not very good communicators. It’s helpful to remember that the ways people move and position themselves while they are speaking can reveal a great deal about what they are saying. Equally important you should put yourself in the other person’s place, both intellectually and emotionally; it will help you to understand what they are getting at and form a response. But don’t be too clever. Faced with a know-all, many people keep quiet because they see no point in continuing.
56. Which is the best title for this passage?
A. Don’t be too clever                B. Be a good listener.
C. Don’t miss anything critical            D. Think of the speaker
57. In the last paragraph, “…… what they are getting at ……” means________ .
A. what they imply                             B. what they like
C. what they attack                             D. what they achieve
58. What is the writer’s opinion?
A. If you want to be a good listener, you should be very clever and emotional.
B. Speakers won’t continue talking when their listeners explain what they’ve heard.
C. If you don’t want to get things wrong, it’s important to be a good listener,
D. It’s hard to be a good listener because listening tests you on your intelligence.
59. What is the lesson we can learn from this passage?
A. Don’t accuse others of not listening while talking with them.
B. Don’t get anything wrong if you miss what the speaker is saying.
C. Listening inattentively may cost you the loss of your success.
D. Think carefully of what you’re going to say before the speaker finishes.
