1、An Early Form of Jazz MusicMusic comes in many forms; most countries have a style of their own. At the turn of the last century, when jazz was born, America had no prominent ____ 0f its own. No one knows exactly when was invented ｏｒby whom. But it began to be heard in the early 1890s. Jazz is America\'s contribution to popular music. In contrast to classical music, which follows formal European traditions, jazz is spontaneous ａｎｄ　free in form. It bubbles with energy, expressing the moods, interests, ａｎｄ　emotions of the people. In the 1920s\' jazz sounded like America. ａｎｄ　so it does today. The origins 0f the music are as interesting as the music itself. American Negroes, ｏｒblacks, as they are called today, were the jazz pioneers. They were brought to the Southern states as slaves. They were sold to plantation owners ａｎｄ　forced to work long hours. When a Negro died, his friends ａｎｄ　relatives formed a procession to carry to body to the cemetery. In New Orleans, a bａｎｄ　often accompanied the body . On the way to the cemetery the bａｎｄ　played slow, solemn music, suited to the occasion. Furthermore 0n the way home the mood changed. Spirits lifted. Death had removed one of their numbers, but the living were glad to be alive . The bａｎｄ　played happy music, improvising on both the harmony ａｎｄ　the melody of the tunes played at the funeral. This music made everyone want to dance. It was an early form ofjazz. 【单选题】

3、New Product Will Save LivesDrinking water that looks clean may still contain bugs, which can cause illness.

5、Status of Teachers in AmericaAt present, in many American cities especially, many teachers in the public schools say they are underpaid. They point to jobs such as secretary ｏｒtruck driver, which often pay more to start than that of the teacher. In many other fields, such as law, medicine, computer science, a beginning worker may make more than a teacher who has taught fｏｒseveral year.Teaching has never been a profession that attracted people interested in high salaries. It is by history a profession that has provided rewards in addition to money, the satisfaction of sharing knowledge, of influencing others, of guiding young people. But in the past several years, there are more difficulties in teaching, fｏｒmany, than there are rewards.Unruly students, who would have chosen teaching as their life career in the past, are going into other fields.Another reason fｏｒthis change in teacher candidates is the changing status of women in the United States. Until the late 1960s ａｎｄ　1970s, one of the most popular choices fｏｒwomen was teaching. But as other professions, such as law ａｎｄ　medicine opened up to women, women stopped pouring into teacher training programs. Thus, a majｏｒpool of excellent candidates fｏｒthe teaching profession dwindled(减少).Bit by bit government officials ａｎｄ　others realized that the status of the teacher had suffered. They talked about change. But change in a vast society like the United States is not easy. People\'s attitudes have formed over many years, ａｎｄ　sometimes change takes many years.The writer points out the present situation of teaching, that is_____.【单选题】

A.teaching is a profession that can always attract best students to work in.

7、Woman workThough some people have suggested that women should return to housework in ｏｒｃｅｒto leave more jobs fｏｒmen, the idea has been rejected by both women ａｎｄ　men in public opinion polls.Lately some ｕｎｉｏｎofficials have suggested that too many women are employed in types of work more suitable fｏｒmen ａｎｄ　that women should step aside to make way fｏｒunemployed young men. They argue that women, especially women in their childbearing years,actually delay economic development ａｎｄ　result in productivity, poｏｒquality ａｎｄ　inefficiency.To solve the problem, they suggested that working women stay at home while their husbands ｏｒbrothers were given double wages. They argue that ____ these circumstances, families would remain their same level of income, ａｎｄ　women could run the house ａｎｄ　raise children much better,The suggestion, however , has been flatly rejected by 9 0ut of 10 people polled .Some other people have suggested another way called "phased employment" theory. The theory suggests that a woman worker take leave from her job when she is seven months pregnant ａｎｄ　stay off the job until her baby reaches the age of 3. It suggested that women on leave receive 75 percent of their normal salary ａｎｄ　be allowed to return to work after the three-year period. This will benefit children, women, their families ａｎｄ　the society ａｎｄ　it definitely seems to be more acceptable than the suggestion that women return to their homes forever.【单选题】

9、Stop Eating Too much"Clean your plate!"and" Be a member of the clean-plate club!" Just about every kid in the US has heard this from a parent ｏｒgrandparent. Often, it\'s accompanied by an appeal: "Just think about those starving orphans (孤儿) in Africa!" Sure, we should be grateful fｏｒevery bite of food. Unfortunately, many people in the US take too many bites. Instead of saying "clean the plate", perhaps we should save some food fｏｒtomorrow.According to news reports, US restaurants are partly to blame fｏｒthe growing bellies(肚子). A waiter puts a plate of food in front of each customer, with two to four times the amount recommended by the government, according to a USA Today story. Americans traditionally associate quantity with value ａｎｄ　most restaurants try to give them that. They prefer to have customers complain about too much food rather than too little.Barbara Rolls, a nutrition (营养) professｏｒat Pennsylvania State University, told USA Today that restaurant portion sizes began to grow in the 1970s, the same time that the American waistline(腰围) began to expand.Health experts have tried to get many restaurants to serve smaller portions. Now, apparently, some customers are calling fｏｒthis too. The restaurant industry trade magazine QSR reported last month that 57 percent of more than 4,000 people surveyed believed restaurants served portions that were too large; 23 percent had no opinion; 20 percent disagreed. But a closer look at the survey indicates that many Americans who can\'t afford fine dining still prefer large portions. Seventy percent of those earn at least $ 150,000 per year prefer smaller portions; but only 45 percent of those earning less than $25, 000 want smaller.It\'s not that working class Americans don\'t want to eat healthy. It\'s just that, after long hours at low-paying jobs, getting less on their plate hardly seems like a good deal. They live from paycheck (薪金支票) to paycheck, happy to save a little money fｏｒnext year\'s Christmas presents.(2008年)What does the survey indicate?【单选题】

A.Twenty percent of Americans want smaller portions.

B.Many low-income Amercing want large portions.

C.Fifty-seven percent of Americans want large portions.

D.Forty-five percent of Americans want smaller portions.

正确答案:B

答案解析:题干问“调查报告说明了什么”。参见文章第四段，许多吃不起精美正餐的美国人仍然希望饭菜的量大一些。而选项B与此相符合，故正确答案为B。
