[答案]

CBBA

[解析]

（1）细节理解题。根据第二段He said he wanted to make an all﹣female ensemble to keep a promise to his late mother.（他说他想成立女子乐队来信守对已故母亲的承诺。）可知，这名音乐制作人为了履行对已故母亲的承诺而成立了这个女子乐队。故选C。
（2）细节理解题。根据第三段It wasn't easy at first.Some parents were against it.You know，in Africa，the place of women is often seen as being either in an office or at home.（起初招聘不容易，在非洲女孩子的固定形象就是坐办公室或待在家里）因此，一些家长反对成立女子乐队，这是造成Allou组建乐队困难的原因之一，故选B。
（3）段落大意题。根据第三段Allou spread the word and took out ads in local papers.Most of the girls she found were not professional players. "I just played some tamtam.I learned to play drums when I joined Bella Mondo，" one member said.The girls spent the next four years learning to play their instruments.Many gave up along the way，but eight of them soldiered on with Allou，and Bella Mondo was founded.（Allou传播了这个消息，并在当地报纸上刊登了广告。她发现的大多数女孩都不是职业选手。一位成员说："我刚弹了一些塔姆鼓。当我加入Bella Mondo时，我学会了打鼓。"。女孩们在接下来的四年里学习演奏她们的乐器。许多人一路上放弃了，但其中八人与阿洛并肩作战，贝拉•蒙多成立了。）可知，本段主要讲述了Bella Mondo乐队的诞生过程。故选B。
（4）词义猜测题。根据最后一段"Oh yes，I was surprised at first.A woman singing，you see that every day，but an entire band，playing all the instruments and everything？It was extraordinary.I was dumbstruck.Bella Mondo is a great band，" one music fan said.The women are now working on their second album.（我起初很惊讶，你每天能看到一个女人在唱歌，但是整个乐队演奏所有乐器和一切？真是___。Bella Mondo是一个了不起的乐队。）可知，出乎意料的是该女子乐队的演出取得了空前的成功，所以说话者感到很震惊。因此，划线单词意为"吃惊的"。A .Astonished.惊讶的；B.Amused 搞笑的；C.Determined 有决心的；D.Satisfied.满意的。故选A。

204903. （2022•雁塔二中•高二下期末） A mild-mannered cat by day，at night Rusty was just the opposite.Often，Bill and I would lie in bed quarreling over whether we should let it out to wander in the dark or put up with another sleepless night.
So，instead，we lay in the dark each noisy night and wondered what damage Rusty would do.And always in the morning，if I had forgotten to put the butter in the cupboard，there were marks from a rough，little tongue and once even a paw print.
   Something had to give.Bill looked at me straight in the eyes， " Do it." My reservations were such，however，that it took me several weeks and the loss of nearly a pound of butter to decide we didn't have much choice.
   That night，I put Rusty on his cat bed and patted him a little guiltily on the head.Then I began filling the kitchen sink with about two inches of water.Rusty loved jumping into a damp sink and then tracking water all over the cupboards and across the kitchen floor.According to the article I saved from a website to my folder，cats used to jumping into your sink，but they won't do it again if they jump in and find a couple of inches of water.
   Next，I cleared the cupboards of everything.Then I got out all my metal cookie sheets and a fork to go with each.According to the article，you should support a cookie sheet with a fork.When your cat jumps on the counter，he will knock down the insecurely balanced cookie sheets.What happens next will stop him from doing it a second time.
   Everything in place，I slipped onto our bed quietly，waiting.Suddenly，there came an awfully loud noise of metal.A chain reaction of crashes next.Finally，Rusty rounded the corner in the hall heavily and leaped through our doorway onto the foot of our bed，trembling under our cover.And that was the night Rusty，the Midnight Troublemaker，retired.

204884. （2022•长安区一中•高二上期末） You're often served by young people at restaurants.But Forget Me Not Cafe in Shanghai is different.

   They often provide basic services for guests，such as pouring water，serving and taking orders.

   A 58-year-old woman from Jiangsu province，whose husband brings her to the restaurant，is an example.
   "When she came here for the first time，she barely said a word and was indifferent.I told her that she must communicate and gave her homework every time with rewards，" Zhu said.
   The woman has since come to the restaurant every Friday，and after several months，her condition has improved.
   "She started to comment that the food was 'delicious' and speak with others.Moreover，she began to hug me every time，" Zhu said.

204827. （2022•长安区一中•高一下期末） We've all heard the stories of an actor's struggles before a career breakthrough：living a hard life，working part time，being a couch potato before getting that major role.Shelby，the star of "A Dog's Way Home，" has a hardluck tale that could top them all.Before her big break，she was living in a landfill，rooting through garbage for her next meal.
   Shelby's big break came in April 2017，when animal control officer Megan Buhler was driving in Cheatham County，Tennessee.Out on an unrelated call，Buhler spotted and approached what she recalled was a noticeably scared puppy emerging from the dump."I knelt down and just said， 'Oh，come here，baby，'" said Buhler."She was so scared，but she came right up to me，and I was able to put her in my truck." The pair headed to the county animal shelter，where the staff began calling the new resident Baby Girl.

   Most of the film's reviews have praised Shelby's performance.Variety made the comments "an amazing dog，perfect performance"！

204373. （2023•铁一中学•高三上期末） On April 30，2020，the world's most famous musicians met online to celebrate the tenth International Jazz Day，with the hope to revive jazz music and explore its possibility as aunifying voice across cultures.
   Despite the celebrations，though，the jazz audience continues to grow older because the music has failed to attract the younger generations.It's their job to help change that.
   Jason Moran，the Kennedy Center's artistic adviser for jazz，was one of the musicians.He hopes to widen the audience for jazz and make the music more accessible and enjoyable.
   "Jazz seems like it's not really a part of the American appetite（胃口）." Moran tells National Public Radio's reporter Neal Conan. "I hope that the younger generations understand that jazz is not black anymore.It's actually colorful，and it's actually digital."
   Moran says one of the problems with jazz today is that the fun side of the music has been lost. "Today，the music can't be presented 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. "I just wanted to put it back in the mind that Waller is dance music as much as it is concert music." says Moran. "For me，it's just to re-contextualize.Sometimes we lose sight that the music has a wider context.It can be adapted to（适应）different situations. "
   During the interview，he asked，"In music，where does the feeling lie？Are we，as humans，gaining any insight（感悟）on how to talk about ourselves and how a Fats Waller record gets us into a dialogue about our emotions and our thoughts？"
   He added that most of the musicians have recognized the need and agreed to continue those dialogues for the year.

（1）Why did the musicians meet online on April 30？
A．To celebrate the Jazz Day.
B．To show the value of jazz.
C．To remember the birth of jazz.
D．To protect different jazz cultures.
（2）What does the underlined word "re-contextualize" in paragraph 6 mean？
A．To mix jazz with other music.
B．To adapt to different situations.
C．To be performed by different bands.
D．To play with more advanced instruments.
（3）What does Moran think of jazz？
A．It will disappear gradually.
B．It should be black and white.
C．It has to keep up with the times.
D．It has become more popular.
（4）What can be the best title for the text？
A．The Rise and Fall of Jazz
B．Goals Set for Jazz Day 2020
C．The Story of a Jazz Musician
D．The New Problems With Jazz

22266. （2016•新课标•ll卷） A new collection of photos brings an unsuccessful Antarctic voyage back to life.
Frank Hurley's pictures would be outstanding----undoubtedly first-rate photo-journalism---if they had been made last week.In fact,they were shot from 1914through 1916，most of them after a disastrous shipwreck（海难），by a cameraman who had no reasonable expectation of survival.Many of the images were stored in an ice chest,under freezing water,in the damaged wooden ship.
The ship was the Endurance,a small,tight,Norwegian-built three-master that was intended to take Sir Ernest Shackleton and a small crew of seamen and scientists,27men in all,to the southernmost shore of Antarctica's Weddell Sea.From that point Shackleton wanted to force a passage by dog sled（雪橇） across the continent.The journey was intended to achieve more than what Captain Robert Falcon Scott had done.Captain Scott had reached the South Pole early in 1912but had died with his four companions on the march back.
As writer Caroline Alexander makes clear in her forceful and well-researched story The Endurance,adventuring was even then a thoroughly commercial effort.Scott's last journey,completed as be lay in a tent dying of cold and hunger,caught the world's imagination,and a film made in his honor drew crowds.Shackleton,a onetime British merchant-navy officer who had got to within 100miles of the South Pole in 1908，started a business before his 1914voyage to make money from movie and still photography.Frank Hurley,a confident and gifted Australian photographer who knew the Antarctic,was hired to make the images,most of which have never before been published.

33．What do we know about the photos taken by Hurley？
A．They were made last week
B．They showed undersea sceneries
C．They were found by a cameraman
D．They recorded a disastrous adventure
34．Who reached the South Pole first according to the text？
A．Frank Hurley
B．Ernest Shackleton
C．Robert Falcon Scott
D．Caroline Alexander
35．What does Alexander think was the purpose of the 1914voyage？
A．Artistic creation
B．Scientific research
C．Money making
D．Treasure hunting.

204240. （2023•长安区一中•高二上期末） When he tells people that he is deaf，Oliver Stabbe is called a liar. "The idea that deaf people cannot speak is a very offensive assumption，" the sophomore（大二学生）said.Stabbe's experience speaks of many of the misunderstandings about deaf people and the struggles they face - things commonly found right in Rochester.This city is home to 90，000 deaf people，a significant slice of the more than 1.1 million national population.The percentage of deal people here is higher than the national average t due in part to RITs National Technical Institute for the Deaf，the first technological college in the world created specifically for the deaf and hard of hearing. "Really，there seems to be an embarrassment in communicating with deaf people，" said sophomore Stephen Davis，another deaf student.This awkwardness might arise because non-deaf people just don't know how to do so without possibly offending someone. "I guess they think saying 'deaf' is offensive，but it really isn't and deaf people don't get upset about it，" Davis said.He noted that the biggest issue he's had when communicating with other students is their anxiety about communicating.Deaf or hard-of-hearing students also face frustrations（令人心烦的事）on their end when interacting with others. "Sometimes people talk about you，maybe to a non-deaf friend standing beside me，as if I'm not there，" Davis said. "That's depressing." As Davis put it， "We don't see ourselves as the disabled，so the awkwardness is only one-sided."
