21、These destinations march to the beat of their own drum. So put on your dancing shoes and head to these sweet-sounding cities.

New Orleans

In the 19th century, slaves gathered on Sundays to play drums, dance, and sing in Congo Square. Those lively rhythms of Africa ran head on with the sounds of Europe to create jazz, a typical American art form that has inspired generations of Americans and spread around the globe. But this isn’t suit-wearing, head-nodding, polite jazz. New Orleans jazz sweeps you off your feet and makes you jump and clap and sing along.

Chicago

Large numbers of African Americans left the South in search of better opportunities during 1916~1970 and Chicago attracted scores of these people, who brought with them the sound of the Mississippi River. Here, it changed into something sad and symphonic: blues. Blues was not born in Chicago, but it was here that it found a new voice and began to spread its message around the world.

Memphis

Memphis is the birthplace of rock and roll. It was here in Sun Studios in the summer of 1951 that Ike Turner and his band the Delta Cats recorded “Rocket 88”, widely regarded as the first rock and roll song. But, like so many great things, it happened by accident the guitarist’s loudspeaker broke down during the recording, creating a unique guitar sound that would become a hallmark of the music.   People didn’t know how to classify it, but they knew they loved it. The rest is history.

New York City

New York is one of the world’s greatest cities where you can listen to all kinds of music. But to experience a true New York state of mind, you have to leave the shiny towers and Broadway shows of Manhattan and head to Harlem, the Bronx, Brooklyn, and Queens to explore the city’s hip-hop history.

【1】What do New Orleans jazz and Chicago blues have in common?

A．They sound very sad.

B．They have similar origin.

C．They happened by accident.

D．They are played on the guitar.

【2】When was rock and roll born?

A．In the 19th century.

B．In the late 19th century.

C．In the early 20th century.

D．In the mid-20th century.

【3】What are Harlem and Queers known for?

A．Blues.

B．Jazz.

C．Hip-hop.

D．Rock and roll.

22、For most children, bath time is fun. But four-year-old Harry Floyd used to have a very different experience—soon after climbing into the water he felt itchy (发痒的) from head to foot.

Harry first started to develop small itchy bumps on the skin at three months old. He woke at 3 a. m. and was covered in the bumps, but they cleared up within an hour. When Harry's mother Lisa got him to the doctor, there was nothing to see. Lisa initially thought it was the soap that Harry was allergic to, but even when she just used water to bathe him he would still get the bumps. Lisa was then alarmed to see that when the weather was really cold or hot Harry would start to get them. Within a few minutes they would spread over his body.   He'd just scream and try to scratch them.

Lisa and her husband Eddie took Harry to the doctor many times over the next year, but were told it was simply a virus and the condition wouldn't affect his older brother, Oliver. At six months Harry was diagnosed with several food allergies, which doctors thought might have caused the bumps. But Harry continued to get the bumps even after shunning those foods. Out of desperation, the family took Harry to Great Ormond Street Hospital to see a private specialist. By coincidence, Harry got the bumps when they were waiting to see the consultant. So the consultant saw exactly how severe it was. And Harry was diagnosed with physical urticaria (荨麻疹), a skin allergy to a host of common triggers (触发物). Since the diagnosis, Harry’s condition has greatly improved.

The cause of physical urticaria is still a mystery. Genetics may play a role and stress has been seen as a trigger. From newborn babies to the old are likely to suffer from it. Recent research suggests around one million people in Britain suffer from the condition, although experts say this may be inaccurate, with many more going undiagnosed.

【1】Why does Harry's problem remain unsolved at the first time?

A．Lisa was unsure about the triggers.

B．Hospital equipment was not advanced.

C．His symptoms disappeared in a short time.

D．Doctors lacked experience to identify the bumps.

【2】What does the underlined word “shunning” in Paragraph 3 mean?

A．Digesting.

B．Avoiding.

C．Selecting.

D．Ignoring.

【3】What can we know from the last paragraph?

A．Physical urticaria can start at any age.

B．Harry's father used to have physical urticaria.

C．Physical urticaria is rather uncommon in Britain.

D．Physical urticaria can be easily passed on to children.

【4】What does the text mainly talk about?

A．The symptoms of a rare disease.

B．The possible causes of physical urticaria.

C．A family seeking treatment for their injured kid.

D．A little boy suffering from a terrible skin allergy.

24、Most stars are invisible against the overhead glare from city lights. At best, there is only a bit of the Milky Way to see: the combined radiance of a hundred billion stars dims (暗淡) to near-nothingness by bright streetlamps and storefronts.

This is light pollution-human-generated light cast up into the heavens-causing the sky itself to glow and washing out the stars. Astronomers have known for years the situation is bad for observing stars, but it also has real and negative effects on the well-being of many living things-plants, animals and even human beings. More than 80 percent of humanity is affected by light pollution, their view of the skies being stolen away.

All this extra light at night has a large effect on the life under it. Researchers have shown that it has negative impacts on many animals and plants; light pollution disturbs the great migrations of birds, the delicate blossoming of flowers, and even the courtship (求偶) of fireflies, etc. It affects humans as well, possibly causing insomnia (失眠) among many other health problems.

So what can we do about our brightening skies? There is a lot already happening. Groups like the International Dark Sky Association, or IDA, advocate not for more lighting but for more intelligent lighting; smarter street lights that concentrate their light downward is one example. Because these lights offer more efficient light, they save energy, too, eventually paying for themselves. The IDA offers advice on how to contact local authorities to fix better equipment and create ordinances to lower pollution. Many cities in the United States and other countries are certified Dark Sky Communities (DSC), ones that have shown “exceptional devotion to the preservation of the night sky” by discouraging wasteful lighting practices.

Many people don’t even know that they-and their children-are losing this cosmic (宇宙的) experience just over their heads. We need the dark night sky, and it’s up to all of us to make sure it’s still there every time the sun goes down.

【1】How does the author organise Paragraph 3?

A．By listing figures.

B．By giving examples.

C．By following the order of time.

D．By analyzing cause and effect.

【2】What does the underlined word “ordinances” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?

A．Surveys.

B．Jobs.

C．Wonders.

D．Regulations.

【3】What is stressed in the last paragraph?

A．The importance of the dark night sky.

B．The urgency of having cosmic experience.

C．The necessity of solving the problem of light pollution.

D．Our children’s responsibility to fight light pollution.

【4】What’s the best title for the text?

A．Light Pollution Is Dimming Our View of the Sky

B．IDA Is Advocating Much Smarter Street Lights

C．DSC Has Shown Devotion to Preserving the Night Sky

D．The Applications of Intelligent Lighting Are Worldwide
