第一节(共15小题;每小题3分,满分45分)
A
During the 1800s, African Americans worked long days in the fields of the American South. To ease their labor, they sang “field hollers(号子)” that they had brought from Africa. One person sang a line. Then a group of workers repeated it. The song’s words told of the hardships that people suffered. This call-and -response singing style was also used in churches. African Americans sang joyous religious songs. They clapped their hands and stamped their feet to the music.
After the Civil War(1861-1865), the music changed greatly. African American music, from ballads to church music, took new forms. It was also adapted dance music, called “jump-ups”. Then banjos became popular. A blues singer usually played a call and response with the banjo. He or she sang a line and then played the banjo response. By the early 1900s, the guitar had replaced the banjo as the main blues instrument.
Northern Mississippi—called the Delta—was the center of blues tradition. By the 1920s, the Delta had many clubs, so-called juke joints. African Americans listened and danced to music in these clubs. Some of the greatest blues men and women performed there.
The words of blues songs describe everyday life. They are often very emotional and personal. They tell about sorrow and overwork. They tell about finding or losing love, having money or being poor, being happy or sad and lonely. Blues may use humor to describe life’s struggles and joys.
By the 1940s, large numbers of African Americans had left the Delta and moved north to work. Many

settled in Chicago. There, a new kind of “electric” or “Chicago” blues began. Many of its themes were the same, but these blues had electric guitars and harmonicas. The Chicago blues with a strong loud beat was excellent dance music. Chicago blues led to the birth of a new music style—rock and roll.
21. What does the underlined word “banjo” in paragraph 2 refer to?
A. A blues singer.
B. A line in a song.
C. A style of dance music.
D. A kind of musical instrument.
22. What information can we get in paragraph 4?
A. The techniques in blues.
B. The themes of blues.
C. The influence of blues.
D. The development of blues.
23. According to the text, rock and roll .
A. is full of humors

I am bent at an unnatural angle, my left hand waving a mop across the bathroom floor, my right hand grasping a hair straightener. As I catch sight of myself in the mirror, the stupidity of the situation strikes me. But I go on with them, convinced I’m getting the most from my early morning minutes.
We live in a world of multitasking—where the measure of a person is how many jobs they can perform at the same time. Yet, is multitasking a good idea?”We’ve done a number of studies that prove people who multitask frequently suffer a lot, ”Dr Nass Clifford at Stanford University says. “They’re less able to recognize useless information, they’re less able to pay attention, and they are worse at managing their

memory.”
Psychologist Dr Sherry Turkle, a Massachusetts Institute of Technology professor, holds the view that in some situations, the loss that we get with multitasking is harmless, “But you can’t do serious work this way.” Of course. There are some things we can do simultaneously. We can talk while walking, or eat dinner while watching TV. This is because each task requires a different type of brain activity. So, reading while listening to instrumental music is fine, but the ability to concentrate on words on a page decreases sharply when listening to music with lyrics, because both actions rely on the part of the brain that deals with language.
So what about my need to multitask? Perhaps both my hair and my bathroom floor would end up better off if each received some individual attention. Of course they would, but I have to take the first step and learn to self-management my time better. “It takes a huge amount of discipline, and people find it really difficult,” says Dr Nass, “But that doesn’t men it’s not a great thing to do.”
25. From what the author does in the morning, we know that she .
A. thinks she is wasting time
B. gets a feeling of satisfaction
C. wants to save time
D. is enjoying herself
26. According to the studies done by the experts at Stanford University, .
A. multitasking is not a good idea
B. we can’t do two things at the same time
C. multitasking can improve people’s memory
D. those who are able to multitask are quick-minded
27. The underlined word “simultaneously” in paragraph 5 probably means .
A. quickly
B. independently
C. at the same time
D. without difficulty

The Earth’s temperature is rising. And as it does, springtime phenomena—like the first bloom of flowers—are getting earlier and earlier. But rising temperatures aren’t the only factor. Urban light pollution is also quickening the coming of spring. “So temperature and light are really contributing to a double whammy of making everything earlier. ” Richard Ffrench-Constant, an entomologist at the University of Exeter.
He and his colleagues compiled 13 years of data from citizen scientists in the U. K. , who tracked the first bud(芽) burst of four common trees. Turns out, light pollution—from streetlights in cities, and along roads—pushed bud burst a full week earlier. Way beyond what rising temperatures could achieve. This disruptive(干扰性的) timing can ripple through the ecosystem.
The caterpillars that feed on trees are trying to match the hatching of their eggs to the timing of bud burst. Because the caterpillars want to feed on the juiciest and least chemically protected leaves. And it’s not just the caterpillars, of course, that are important. But the knock-on effect is on nesting birds, which are also trying to hatch their chicks at the same time that there’s the maximum number of caterpillars. So earlier buds could ultimately affect the survival of birds, and beyond. The findings are in the Proceedings of the Royal Society B.
The world’s becoming increasingly urbanized, and light pollution is growing—which Richard says could trick trees into budding earlier and earlier. But smarter lighting—like LEDs that dial down certain wavelengths—could help. “Perhaps the exciting thing is, if we understand more about how light affects this bud burst, we might be able to devise smarter sort of street lighting that has less red components, and therefore less early bud burst. Thus it is possible to keep springtime an actual springtime phenomenon. ” Richard add.
28. How did Richard and his colleagues reach the conclusion?
A. By analyzing some data.
B. By observing nature closely.
C. By doing a lot of experiments.
D. By keeping track of four common trees.
29. Why do the caterpillars hatch eggs at the same time of bud burst?
A. To protect young leaves.

B. To get high quality food.
C. To give birth to healthy babies.
D. To avoid being the meals of birds.
30. How does Richard feel about the actual springtime phenomenon?
A. It’s promising.
B. It’s amusing.
C. It’s costly.
D. It’s challenging.
31. What may be the best title for the next?
A. The Rising Temperature of the Earth
B. Ways of Reducing Urban Light Pollution
C. City Lights Quickening the Coming of Spring
D. The Effect of the Earlier Spring on the Ecosystem
