【题目】 Now in 2019, jazz music is an important part of Indianapolis’ art culture. Jazz clubs around the city still host concerts with local jazz musicians like Rob Dixon and Joel Tucker. One of these clubs, the Chatterbox Jazz Club, still has live jazz seven nights a week.

But the real history of jazz in Indy is much less simple. Along with the Avenue’s culture, jazz music was gone from the streets for many years.

Indiana Avenue was the heart of a neighborhood along the White River. It was a center for black music and live street music.The wealthy avoided this area. So it became a place that poorer families, including many African-American and immigrant (移民) families, moved to.

Jazz prospered in the mix of American cultures around the Avenue in the 1930s and 1940s. But in the 1950s, things changed. After the war, there were projects to make the city beautiful and build a university nearby. Both of these seemed like good changes. However, the new university and buildings caused poorer families to have to leave the area. This destroyed the Indiana Avenue community - and with it, its jazz culture.

After many years, Indianapolis remembered the value of its arts and music culture. It began to bring back lost cultures such as live music on the Avenue. To do so, it began to make new changes. The changes included repairing historic areas like the Avenue. Once again, the high living costs in these historic arts areas pushed low-income families out.

Today there are several old-style jazz clubs where friends can meet up to remember the past or just enjoy a summer evening. It might seem at first that jazz is alive again, but there is a sad reality behind these jazz clubs: Modern Indy jazz is only a shadow (影子) of the lively culture that was once on Indiana Avenue.

1What does the author mainly want to say in Paragraph 1?

A.Jazz clubs can make big money.

B.Jazz musicians often hold concerts.

C.Jazz music is popular in Indianapolis.

D.Jazz culture is just part of Indianapolis' culture.

2What does the underlined word “prospered” in Paragraph 4 mean?

A.Disappeared quickly.B.Arrived soon.

C.Recovered soon.D.Developed well.

3What did Indianapolis do to bring back its lost culture?

A.It rebuilt some old important areas.

B.It invited old jazz musicians to sing in the city.

C.It educated people about the value of music culture.

D.It settled low-income families in the Indiana Avenue community,

4According to the passage, which of the following about modern Indy jazz is true?

A.Its home culture is gone.

B.Its styles are too traditional.

C.It shows the sadness of the poor.

D.It is no longer a favorite of the young.

【题目】 Music. We hear it everywhere, every day. Getting into a lift, going around a supermarket or simply relaxing at home, music is our constant companion. And music can have a significant effect on the way we think and feel, so it's worth paying attention to what we're listening to.

Music can have a powerful effect on our moods, in terms of both reducing and increasing stress. Listening to calm gentle music in bed can help us drop off to sleep. Some airlines play smoothing music on board planes at take-off and landing, to calm nervous travelers. Athletes often listen to fast loud music to help them prepare for games. The American swimmer Michael Phelps is known to listen to rap music before important races to help pump him up.

The mood-altering effect of music can be especially acute for the people who actually play the music. Musicians who do not have high self-esteem (自尊心) can suddenly overflow with confidence once they go on stage. It's as though the music gives them a different personality.

And it's not only those who feel ill at ease with themselves who can benefit. Scientists have conducted research into the effect of music on students studying for exams. They found that listening to calm music with a regular beat can actually help students recall facts and improve their performance in exams. Classical music, preferably something by Mozart, seems to have the most beneficial effect. A word of caution, however: it's best not to over-rely on this method, as you won't be able to listen to music in an exam.

For most of us though, music is one of life's great pleasures. And it's a pleasure that endures. Researchers have found that we don't often grow out of the music that we love as teenagers, because our musical tastes are such a huge part of our identity, personality and outlook on life. So don't delete those songs you downloaded when you were fifteen - you'll probably still love them when you're fifty.

1What would be the best kind of music to play to nervous drivers stuck in traffic jam?

A.Rap music.B.Gentle classical music.

C.Cheerful folk music.D.Heavy metal music.

2The word "acute" in paragraph 3 most probably means _______ in the passage.

A.powerfulB.controllable

C.complexD.opposite

3Which of the following statements about music is true according to the passage?

A.Pop music improves students' academic performance.

B.Music has magic power to change musicians' personality.

C.Music generally influence people's thoughts and emotions.

D.Sportsmen listen to fast music to relieve their stress before games.

4What can be inferred from the last paragraph?

A.Musical tastes affect our characters to a great extent.

B.We have to find ways to make the pleasure of music last.

C.We will be fond of different kinds of music as we grow up.

D.A part of our personality and tastes are well developed in our teens.
