In the city of Chicago,several people died in fighting with the police.Over the next few years, people in cities around the world stopped working on May 1st to honor workers everywhere.

It was brought to the United States by African black people and then was accepted by people of the south to create their country music.Christian Stanfield said, “I fell in love with it as soon as I heard the banjo, I really wanted to learn that new instrument. So I borrowed a banjo from him for two or three months and when I was ready to get a banjo of my own, he introduced Tommy to me. He told me not to buy a banjo on the Internet or in the store.”Tommy was Tom Georgeone of the best-known banjo makers in the U.S. Tom George knows a true banjo-lover when he sees one. So, when Stanfield asked to become his student, George quickly agreed. Tom George, however, did not have a teacher. He taught himself how to build banjos.“I wanted a banjo when I was a teenager, so I mowed (割草) yards around my neighborhood to raise money and I bought a banjo. The one that I bought wasnt very good, so I started trying to improve that one.”Today, George and Stanfield have a banjo-making workshop. The two men make everything by hand. So, it is not surprising that it takes around 4 to 6 months to make one banjo.The banjo has two separate parts: the round part and the straight part. The round partthe boy of the banjois made of wood bent around a form to give the instrument its round shape.“I will cut it into smaller pieces like this. And Ill put it in a steam (蒸汽) box and the steam will make it very soft. And then I will put it in this form and it will actually be able to bend without breaking. Itll bend around this.”After the banjo is finished, Tom George carefully wipes it clean. It is ready to be played.根据材料内容选择最佳答案。33 .

From the passage, we learn that _.Aits cheaper to buy a banjo on the InternetBthe two men make everything by machineCboth Christian and Tom are true banjo-loversDthe banjos that they bought werent very goodMost adults show less interest in climate（气候）change than young people. Yet its adults who have the power to influence the policies（政策）causing climate change. Now a new study shows that teenagers may be able to raise their parents interest in human effects on climate.In the study, a new curriculum（课程）was used in some schools in coastal North Carolina. The students worked on four activities centered on the connections between climate change and local wildlife. They also took part in a community-based project and interviewed their parents about the changes in weather they had noticed in their lifetimes. To see how attitudes changed as a result of the program, the researchers surveyed both students and parents at the beginning and the end of the study.The study shows the students who completed the climate change module cared more about the issue（问题）. The effect was even stronger among parents. Experts say the programs success had a lot to do with how teachers dealt with climate change in the classroom. Reading a textbook and completing a worksheet are unlikely to lead students to talk about their day at the dinner table, ”says Martha Monroe, an expert on environmental education at the University of Florida. Instead, the researchers designed hands-on lessons focused on local issues. For example, one task involved monitoring the weather outside the school and comparing it with historical information about the area.Those activities may have helped increase parental involvement. If you can get kids so excited and talking with their parents about what they are learning in schools, parents will want to learn, ”says Danielle Lawson, a social scientist and leading researcher of the study. However, she adds, “We are not telling the students what to think or what to say. That way, kids didnt feel that there was all this responsibility put on them to change their parents minds about anything.”Lawson is hopeful that kids can boost their parents understanding of climate science. I know how powerful kids can be, ”Lawson says. Kids dont need a special curriculum to discuss climate change at home. They just need to talk to their parents about what they see going on.”38 . The second paragraph is mainly aboutAhow the study was carried outBhow the activities were designedCwhy a new curriculum was introducedDwhy both students and parents were surveyed39 . What can we learn about the new curriculum from the passage?AIt developed students communication skills.BIt focused on lessons about climate change in textbooks.CIt helped students feel responsible to change their parents.DIt created more chances for families to talk about climate change.40 . The word boost in the last paragraph probably means “_”.AcheckBexpressCimproveDshare四、用单词的正确形式完成短文A. give up B. problem C. play with D. believe in E. smileLife doesnt always give us the joy we want.
