Blues, a type of music, developed during the late 19th century in the United States. It was started by African American performers. We can say blues music started around 1890, though we don’t have many records about the early history of blues.

The first publication(發(fā)行) of blues sheet music was Hart Wand’s “Dallas Blues” in 1912. Then W.C.Handy’s “The Memphis Blues” followed in the same year. The first recording by an African American singer was Mamie Smith’s “Crazy Blues” in 1920.

World WarⅡmarked the changing from acoustic(原聲的) to electric blues and great opening of blues music to many people, especially some white listeners.

During the 1930s, the blacks travelled north towards Chicago. They brought with them blues music, and soon the sound of it filled night clubs in the city. Chicago became the center of blues music. A new type of blues was made—Chicago blues and it was more powerful than all types before.

Blues music became even more popular in the late 1950s. In 1958 the Kingston Trio recorded the number 1 hit, Tom Dooley, which was ranked(排名) first at American folk songs ranking list. For eight years, from 1958 to 1966, the Newport Fork Festival introduced folk and blues music to the white American people. Finally, it became popular among the whites.

After this time, blues was fast merged(融合) with rock music to form the rock blues bands of the 1960s and 70s. The Rollings Stones, John Mayall, Led Zeppelin and others were all famous for their blues music. Blues also directly or indirectly influenced most of popular music during the 20th century, such as jazz, rock, and R&B.

After two weeks of meetings in Paris, 195 countries reached an agreement on December 12 to do with climate(氣候) change. It’s the first time in history that most of the world’s countries, rich or poor, agreed to take action. The agreement sets the long-time goal of making sure the world temperature does not get 2°C higher than the levels in the 1800s. Otherwise there will be serious problems on Earth like natural disasters.

The agreement also asks countries to volunteer to make promises based on each country’s economy(經(jīng)濟(jì)), politics and technology. For developed countries, they will do even more. They have a plan to offer over $100 billion (about 647 billion yuan) to help poorer countries develop clean energy like water and wind power.

Besides, there are some legally binding (法律約束的) rules. Those countries need to set national goals for cutting greenhouse gas emissions (排放) every five years. And they will publicly report their progress every five years starting in 2023.

However, the Paris Agreement alone won’t solve the climate change problem. The future depends on how well each country will carry out their promises.

I really love my job because I enjoy working with small children and like the challenges and awards from the job. I also think my work is important. I wasn’t an excellent student because I didn’t do much schoolwork. In my final term I started thinking what I might do and found I didn’t have much to offer.

I then found myself a job, looking after two little girls. It wasn’t too bad at first. But the problems began when I agreed to live in. I would be there if my boss had to go out for business in the evening. We agreed that if I had to work extra hours one week, she’d give me time off the next. But unluckily, it didn’t often work out. I was getting very tired. Because I had too many late nights and early mornings with the children.

One Sunday, I was in the park with the children, and met Megan who used to go to school with me. I told her about my situation. She suggested that I should do a course and get a qualification(資格證書)if I wanted to work with children. I didn’t think I would be accepted because I didn’t take many exams in school. She asked me to phone the local college and they were really helpful. My experience counted for a lot and I got on a part-time course. I had to leave my job with the family, and got work helping out at a kindergarten.

Now I’ve got a full-time job there. I shall always be thankful to Megan. I wish I had known earlier that I could have a success, even if I am not top of the class at school.

科目:初中英語 來源:2016屆北京市海淀區(qū)九年級中考一模英語試卷(解析版) 題型:閱讀理解

閱讀下列短文,根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容,從短文后各題所給的A、B、C、D四個(gè)選項(xiàng)中,選擇最佳選項(xiàng)。

Living next to next is the principle (原則) of a neighbor. Good neighborliness is the ideal to be aimed at. As the saying goes, no man is an island; he has to live with his neighbors. To make life easy and pleasant, he must cooperate with his neighbors.

Whether one likes it or not, one cannot do without neighbors. Normally one may think he can do without neighbors because he can manage all comforts and services, so the services or the need for a friend may not happen. However, the sympathy (同情), admiration and appreciation which a neighbor may offer will have a great humanizing influence. To share one’s view and sometimes even sadness, one needs some neighbors.

But all neighbors are not always keeping the friendly relationship. Stresses and tension (緊張) develop because of misunderstanding. Very often children may be the cause for tense feelings. The neighbor’s son may pick a flower or a fruit from your garden and an argument may follow. Again he may throw his ball at your window breaking it. These are common cases so far as the younger one is concerned but it is for the elders to view them with calmness and make up for it. This may read easy on paper but not so in real life. But being broad minded, one must be able to tolerate (容忍). Another reason for tension may be the animals. Your neighbor’s dog may be a real trouble or his chickens would come into your garden and eat away your plants.

In all these cases to keep up good neighborliness, some understanding between the neighbors is important. Small differences can be easily patched up or worked out. Try to be friendly and the problem will not be difficult to solve. Care can at times play a good part and help the neighbors in a small or big way. Nobody is perfect and it is better not to speak ill of your neighbors. A cheerful word, a nod or a small talk will strengthen the feeling of good neighborliness.

Neighborliness is not only for people but it is also largely important between neighboring countries. History has got a lot to teach on this. Unless countries learn to live as good neighbors, there cannot be peace on earth. So children must be taught at home and in the school to cooperate with the neighbors and be friendly with them. The basic rule is to give and take and to develop a sense that the other man has as much right as you do, and some degree of tolerance is very necessary.

1.What can we learn from the first paragraph?

A. One is often needed by his family.

B. No one likes to be alone on an island.

C. Everyone has to live with his neighbors.

D. Everyone lives an easy and pleasant life.

2.Which of the following may cause misunderstanding?

A. Hobbies and habits. B. Children and pets.

C. Sports and games. D. Likes and dislikes.

3.What does the sentence “Small differences can be easily patched up or worked out.” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?

A. Praising others can help to be good neighbors.

B. Unimportant disagreement can be easily solved.

C. One can easily make good use of small arguments.

D. Nobody can be perfect enough to speak ill of others.

4.In the passage, the writer tries to ____.

A. show the important of getting on with neighbors

B. teach the basic rules of behaving well at home

C. explain the reasons of learning teamwork

D. introduce ways of being a better person
