   Though the COVID-19 pandemic was a roadblock at the beginning，Tree House quickly started to offer online ordering and other services to keep customers fueled with their favorite coffee and frozen yogurt. "The community plays an important role in shaping the business，" he said "It's the reason the business is what it is today."

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

   "She started to comment that the food was 'delicious' and speak with others.Moreover，she began to hug me every time，" Zhu said.

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."
Stabbe advised that those communicating should not make assumptions about others' preferences or ability.If you have a question，ask.A moment of awkwardness is absolutely worth it if you are being educated about an important topic.
