UNESCO (United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization) recently set April 30 as a day to raise awareness of jazz music, its significa
25、nce, and its potential as a unifying (联合) voice across cultures. Despite the celebrations, though, in the US the jazz audience continues to shrink and grow older, and the music has failed to connect with younger generations. Its Jason Morans job to help change that. As the Kennedy Centers artistic a
26、dviser for jazz, Moran hopes to widen the audience for jazz, make the music more accessible, and preserve its history and culture. “Jazz seems like its not really a part of the American appetite，” Moran tells National Public Radios reporter Neal Conan. “What Im hoping to accomplish is that my genera
27、tion and younger start to reconsider and understand that jazz is not black and white anymore. Its actually color, and its actually digital.”Moran says one of the problems with jazz today is that the entertainment aspect of the music has been lost. “The music cant be presented today the way it was in
28、 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 Wallers 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
29、Moran. “For me, its the recontextualization. In music, where does the emotion lie? Are we 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 dialogue

33、索爵士乐的未来。1D细节理解题。根据第一段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 (联合) voice across cultures.可知，联合国教科文组织把4月30号定为国际爵士日是为了让人们重视爵士乐，意识到它的重要性以及它作为连接各文化的纽带之声的潜在功
34、能。也就是为了让人们意识到爵士乐的价值。故选D。2C代词指代题。根据第二段Despite the celebrations, though, in the US the jazz audience continues to shrink and grow older, and the music has failed to connect with younger generations.可知，尽管联合国教科文组织为爵士乐设立了纪念日，但美国的爵士乐听众依然在减少，并且年龄在老化，爵士乐没能将年轻一代人连接起来。再结合Its Jason Morans job to help change th
35、at.可知Jason Moran所做的事情是帮助改变那个情况，所以可推测that指代的是前文中爵士乐在年轻一代人中失去吸引力的现象。故选C。3C推理判断题。根据第五段中的The music cant 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可知，Moran认为如今的爵士乐不能像1908年或1958年的方式来呈现，因为世界运转的方式不同，所以爵士乐必须继续前进才行。说明随着时代的发展，爵士
36、乐也要跟上时代才不会被年轻一代所抛弃。故选C。4A标题归纳题。通读全文可知本文主要讲联合国教科文组织为提高人们对爵士乐的重视设立爵士日，但实际效果甚微。有人认为爵士乐应随着时代的进步而进步，否则将失去吸引力。可知本文主要探索爵士乐的未来，故选A。. 语法填空(2020黑龙江省绥化市高二期末考试)Alice lived in New York.
