Billie Holiday was an American jazz singer and songwriter. Nicknamed Lady Day by her loyal friend and musical partner, Lester Young, Holiday had a great influence on jazz and pop singing. Her voiced style, strongly inspired by jazz instrumentalists, pioneered a new way of controlling tempo (节奏). Above all, she was admired for her deeply personal and direct approach to singing.
She co-wrote a few songs, and several of them have become jazz standards, notably God Bless the Child, Don’t Explain, and Lady Sings the Blues. She also became famous for singing jazz standards written by others, including Easy Living and Strange Fruit.
Her early career is hard to track down with accuracy. But she later gained work singing in local jazz clubs before being spotted by a talent scout (星探), John Hammond in 1933.
Her voice and recordings were loved for the depth of emotion and intensity she could bring to classic standards. Her range of voice was not the greatest, but her extraordinary low rough voice was soon to become very famous and influential.
She was an important icon (偶像) of the jazz era and influential in the development of jazz singing. In the late 1930s she began singing a civil rights song called Strange Fruit, a song which told the tale of a lynching (用私刑处死) of a black man in the Deep South. It was very controversial for that period and it was not played on radios. It was recorded for Commodore Records and she performed it many times over the next 20 years.
Billie Holiday had a difficult upbringing which influenced her attitude toward life. She experienced many violent relationships. She also became increasingly dependent on various drugs which contributed to her early death in 1959, aged just 44.
24. What made Holiday develop a new way of controlling tempo?
A. Her musical partner. B. Her voiced style.
C. Jazz instrumentalists. D. Her direct approach to singing.
25. Why was the song Strange Fruit banned on radios?
A. It was about a cruel story. B. It concerned civil rights.
C. It was recorded very badly. D. It was performed many times.
26. It can be learned from the text that Holiday _____.
A. had the greatest range of voice
B. was gifted and had a happy childhood
C. wrote a few songs including Easy Living
D. was famous for her voice and way of singing
27. Which of the following had a great effect on Holiday?

The night before your interview, the beating of your heart is so fast. You feel anxious, nervous and uneasy. Your imagination can make you feel like that. You’re confused if you are able to drag the time to finish everything or you wish to stop it because there are a lot of “what ifs” in your mind.
Well, you call those feelings “interview nerves”. It’s normal for all people who have little experience to feel this. So how can you release nervousness in this situation? Actually there are some techniques to calm those anxious nerves.
Firstly, practice and prepare. Practice makes perfect. The more you are interviewed, the more confident you will be. If you have failed once, it doesn’t mean it’s the end of your world. Everybody has a lot of chances. All you’ve got to do is understand the reasons why you like the job.
Secondly, you should get your interview skills ready ahead of time. So, in terms of that, you must know the background of the company and the position that you’re applying for. Ask yourself: “Am I suitable for this kind of job? And do I have any extraordinary skills that I can show to them?” Think of some possible questions that you’re going to face and find good answers to those questions.
Thirdly, give only the facts and don’t tell your life story to them. Give associated answers to the questions. If they want to know about you, you could tell them something that is related to the job which you’re applying for. In addition, you may also practice an interview with another person.
Last but not least, find someone who could share their experience with you and help you create a realistic interview situation. Experience is a better teacher, most people say. Learn from other people’s experience. And one more thing, interview coaching actually has competitive advantages. Find a professional coach in your area. It can cost a little bit but it’s worth it for the personalized coaching that you’re going to receive.
28. The underlined words “what ifs” in Paragraph 1 most probably mean _____.
A. ideas B. chances C. excuses D. questions
29. Why do we feel nervous and anxious before an interview according to the text?
A. We aren’t well prepared. B. We have no special skills.
C. We have failed once. D. We imagine too much.
30. In order to make your job interview more competitive, you should _____.
A. learn to be more aggressive during the interview
B. have a good knowledge of the background of the company
C. tell interviewers all about yourself whether it is questioned or not
D. ask an experienced friend to go along with you
31. What’s the best title for the text?
A. How to Prepare for Your Job Interview
B. How to Get Rid of Your Fear
C. What Are the “Interview Nerves”?
D. What to Say During an Interview
D
Researchers studied the responses of the biggest living animals on the planet to stimulated mid-frequency military sonar (声呐), which is used by military to detect submarines.
By studying 17 blue whales, which feed on large groups of krill (磷虾) in the ocean, the scientists found the giant sea animals would cut short dives for food after a sonar “ping”. The animals also tried to avoid areas where the sonar had been used for some time afterwards.
They found that the whales stopped feeding for more than an hour after the sonar, resulting in a loss of around 1,000kg of krill for the animals.
The researchers say their findings disagree with the idea that military sonar has no influence on blue whales and other related species of whale.
A second study by the same researchers also showed that military sonar caused another species of whale, the Cuvier’s beaked whale, to stop feeding and swim away from the sound.
Dr Brandon Southhall, from the Long Marine Laboratory at the University of California who led the project, said, “These findings help us to understand risks to these animals from human sound and inform timely protection and management decisions.”
The scientists argue that the influence of “active” military sonar on blue whales must be considered in environmental assessments before military tests.
They said they hoped the US Navy, which funded the work, would use the findings to search for ways of reducing the influence of sonar on whale species.
Dr Stacy DeRuiter, from the University of St Andrews, who also took part in the studies, said, “While military tests have been said to be linked to whale strandings (搁浅), we don’t really understand the chain of events that lead to that. The number of strandings also does not match the number of military tests and sonar events, so the Navy wants to understand this more.”
32. What did the new studies find about whales?
A. They were forced to leave their habitats.
B. They were starving because of military sonar.
C. They would stop feeding for some time because of military sonar.
D. They would find new feeding areas once hearing sonar.
33. What is the researchers’ attitude towards the influence of military sonar on whales?
A. Worried. B. Helpless. C. Shocked. D. Puzzled.
34. According to Dr Stacy DeRuiter, _____.
A. military tests in the sea should be stopped
B. military sonar leads to the death of many whales
C. the US Navy should take action to protect whales
D. further study should be done to find out why whales were stranded
35. Where does the text probably come from?
A. A book review. B. A science fiction.
C. A science report. D. An official document.

Tips on impressing an audience
1. Read aloud to kids

Play “Freeze” with friends. Two players start acting out a scene from a movie, TV show or story. When something in the scene reminds another player of a scene from a different story or show, that person says “ Freeze” and replaces one of the actors. 38 The other actor tries to follow along until someone else in the group thinks of another scene and says “ Freeze!” . Continue playing as long as you can keep up the creativity.
3. Project your voice
An important skill for speaking in front of an audience is speaking loudly and clearly so that your voice will be heard. 39
Lie on the floor with a small paper plate balanced on your stomach. Take a few deep breaths. Watch the plate rise when you inhale (吸气) and sink when you exhale(呼气). Breathe again, exhaling longer and trying to make the plate sink lower. As you do this, feel your muscles tightening up. 40 Try to make the plate sink fast as you shout. Do this a few times daily to build up those muscles and help you push out sound.
A. Play an acting game.
B. Take another deep breath and shout “ha”.
C. The new player begins acting out the new scene.
D. Gain confidence by practicing as much as possible.
E. To do this, you need to develop and use the correct muscles.
