Section B Passage One
One of the most successful singers of the twentieth century.
Ella Fitzgerald has made several different styles of her own.
She was born in Virginia
but was brought up in an orphanage in Yonkers,New York.
Chick Webb spotted her in an amateur competition when she was sixteen.
He engaged her to sing with his bane
and when he died in 1939, she took over.
Unlike bessie Smith, Ella Fitzgerald taught herself
the sentimental music so popular in the 1930s--songs like
My Heart Belong to Daddy--and her recordings became best-seller
During the 1940s she developed her own shouting singing
--a breathless nonsense-syllable style
--for songs like Flying Home and Lady Be Good.
Ella fitzgerald was the perfect musical partner for her friend
the trumpeter Louis Armstrong matching him in warmth and artistry.
I just like music, She has said,To me,its a story.
Theres only one thing better than singing...its more singing.
11. Who was the first to discover Ella Fitzgeralds talent?
12. According to the passage, what was Bessie Smith?
13.What does the passage imply about Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong?
Passage Two
How men first learned to invent words is unknown
in other words,the origin of language is a mystery
All we really know is that men
unlike animals,somehow invented certain sounds to express thoughts and feeling
actions and things so that they could communicate with each other
and that later they agreed upon certain sign called letters,
which could be combined to represent those sounds
and which could be written down
Those sounds,whether spoken or written in letters,we call words.
The power of words, then, lies in their associations--
the things they bring up before our minds.
Words become filled with meaning for us by experience
and the longer we live
the more certain words recall to us the glad and sad events of our past
and the more we read and learn
the more the number of words that mean something to us increases.
Great writers are those who not only have great thoughts
but also express these thoughts in words
which appeal powerfully to our minds and emotion
This charming and telling use of words in what we call literary style.
Above all,the real poet is a master of word
He can convey his meaning in words which sing like music
and which by their position and association can move men to tear
We should,therefore,
learn to choose our words carefully and use them accurately
or they will make our speech silly and tasteless.
14. What was one of the reasons
why men invented certain sounds to express thoughts and actions?
15. What can we learn about the real power of words?
16. Which of the following is true?
Passage Three
We can agree with primitive man that food is a basic need
but we differ from him in our food wants
because of the wide variety of food we have available compared with him
we have a wider choice.
Take fruit,for example,not only can we enjoy the fruits grown in his country
but because of modern methods of transport and food preservation
we can also enjoy the more fruits
from foreign countries thousands of miles away.
Whereas primitive man
is limited in his choice to the kinds of fruit which actually grow where he lives
However they differ in satisfying their hunger
primitive and civilized men both experience the basic need for food.
The same is true of the second of our human need.
Clothing is necessary to regulate the heat of our bodies.
Since we live in a temperate climate
we need more clothes than people living in tropic condition
Likewise,our clothing needs to change with seasons.
Shelter,the third of our needs,depends upon the climate
the skill of the builder,ones social position and the materials available.
The simple shelter of primitive man would not do for us
