Some of the world ’s most famous musicians recently gathered in Paris and New Orleans to celebrate the first annual International Jazz Day. UNESCO( United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization) recently set April 30 as a day to raise awareness of jazz music, its significance, and its potential as a unifying( voice across cultures.
Despite the celebrations, though, in the U.S. the jazz audience continues to shrink and grow older, and the music has failed to connect with younger generations.
It’s Jason Moran’s job to help change that. As the Kennedy Center ’s artistic adviser for jazz, Moran hopes to widen the audience for jazz, make the music more accessible, and preserve its history and culture.
“Jazz seems like it’s not really a part of the American appetite, ”Moran tells National Public Radio ’s reporter Neal Conan. “What I ’m hoping to accomplish is that my generation and younger start to reconsider and understand
联合)
that jazz is not black and write anymore. It ’s actually color, and it ’s actually digital. ”
Moran says one of the problems with jazz today is that the entertainment aspect of the music has been lost. The music can ’“t be presented today the way it was in 1908 or 1958. It has to continue to move, because the way the world works is not the same, ”says Moran.
Last year, Moran worked on a project that arranged Fats Waller ’s music for a dance party, “just to kind of put it back in the mind that Waller is dance music as much as it is concert music,”says Moran. “For me, it ’s the recontextualization. In music, where does the emotion( 情感 ) lie? Are we, as humans, gaining any insight( 感悟 ) on how talk about ourselves and how something as abstract as a Charlie Parker record gets us into a dialogue about our emotions and our thoughts? Sometimes we lose sight that the music has a wider context, ”says Moran, “so I want to continue those dialogues. Those are the things I want to foster. ” 24. Why did UNESCO set April 30 as International Jazz Day?
A. To remember the birth of jazz. B. To protect cultural diversity.
C. To encourage people to study music. D. To recognize the value of jazz.
25. What does the underlined word “ that ”pairnagraph 3 refer to?
A. Jazz becoming more accessible. B. The production of jazz growing faster. C. Jazz being less popular with the young. D. The jazz audience becoming larger.
26. What can we infer about Moran ’s opinion on jazz?
A. It will disappear gradually. B. It remains black and white. C. It should keep up with the times. D. It changes every 50 years.
27. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A. Exploring the Future of Jazz B. The Rise and Fall of Jazz C. The Story of a Jazz Musician D. Celebrating the Jazz Day

A build-it-yourself solar still （蒸馏器） is one of the best ways to obtain drinking water in areas where the liquid is not readily available. Developed by two doctors in the U.S. Department of Agriculture, it water collector. Unfortunately, you must carry the necessary equipment with you, since it
’s an excellent
’s all but impossible to
find natural substitutes. The only components required, though, are a 5＇ 5＇ sheet of clear or slightly milky plastic, six feet of plastic tube, and a container
— perhaps just a drinking cup — to catch the water. These pieces
can be folded into a neat little pack and fastened on your belt.
To construct a working still, use a sharp stick or rock to dig a hole four feet across and three feet deep. Try to make the hole in a damp area to increase the water catcher ’s productivity. Place your cup in the deepest part of the hole. Then lay the tube in place so that one end rests all the way in the cup and the rest of the line runs up out — the side of the hole.
Next, cover the hole with the plastic sheet, securing the edges of the plastic with dirt and weighting the sheet center down with a rock. The plastic should now form a cone(
’s — and
圆锥体 ) with 45-degree-angled sides. The low point
of the sheet must be centered directly over, and no more than three inches above, the cup.
The solar still works by creating a greenhouse under the plastic. Ground water evaporates ( 蒸发) and collects on the sheet until small drops of water form, run down the material and fall off into the cup. When the container is
full, you can suck the refreshment out through the tube, and won ’t have to break down the still every time you need a drink.
28. What do we know about the solar still equipment from the first paragraph? A. It ’s delicate. C. It ’s complex .
29. What does the underlined phrase A. The tube. C. The hole.
B. It ’s expensive. D. It ’s porta.ble

30. What’s the last step of constructing a working solar still? A. Dig a hole of a certain size. C. Weight the sheet
’s cente.r down
B. Put the cup in place.
D. Cover the hole with the plastic sheet.
.
31. When a solar still works, drops of water come into the cup from A. the plastic tube C. the open air
B. outside the hole
