He published his first song when he was eighteen years old. During the next twenty years he wrote more than five hundred songs. Many of Gershwins songs were first written for musical plays performed in theatres in New York City. These plays were a popular form of entertainment in the 1920s and 1930s. Many of his songs have remained popular as ever. Over the years they have been sung and played in every possible wayfrom jazz to country. In the 1920s there was a debate in the United States about jazz music. Could jazz, some people asked, be considered serious music? In 1924 jazz musician and orchestra leader Paul Whiteman decided to organize a special concert to show that jazz was serious music. Gershwin agreed to compose something for the concert before he realized he had just a few weeks to do it. And in that short time, he composed a piece for piano and orchestra which he called Rhapsody in Blue. Gershwin himself played the piano at the concert. The audience were thrilled when they heard his music. It made him world-famous and showed that jazz music could be both serious and popular. In 1928, Gershwin went to Paris. He applied to study composition (作曲) with the well-known musician Nadia Boulanger, but she rejected him. She was afraid that classical study would ruin his jazz-influenced style. While there, Gershwin wrote An American in Paris. When it was first performed, critics (评论家) were divided over the music. Some called it happy and full of life, to others it was silly and boring. But it quickly became popular in Europe and the United States. It sill remains one of his most famous works. George Gershwin died in 1937, just days after doctors learned he had brain cancer. He was only thirty-nine years old. Newspapers all over the world reported his death on their front pages. People mourned the loss of the man and all the music he might have still written. 24. Many of Gershwins musical works were _ . A. played mainly in the countryside B. performed in various ways C. written about New Yorkers D. composed for Paul Whiteman 25. What do we know about the concert organized by Whiteman? A. It attracted more people to theatres. B. It made Gershwin leader of the orchestra. C. It proved jazz could be serious music. D. It caused a debate among jazz musicians. 26. Which of the following best describes Gershwin? A. Friendly and honestB. Serious and boring C. Popular and unhappy D. Talented and productiveCWhile small may be beautiful, tall is just plain uncomfortable it seems, particularly when it comes to staying in hotels and eating in restaurants.The Tall Persons Club Great Britain (TPCGB), which was formed six months ago to campaign for the needs of the tall, has turned its attention to hotels and restaurants beds that are too small, shower heads that are too low, and restaurant tables with hardly any leg-room all make life difficult for those of above average height, it says.But it is not just the extra-tall whose needs are not being met. The average height of the population has been increasing yet the standard size of beds, doorways, and chairs has remained unchanged.“The bedding industry says a bed should be six inches larger than the person using it, so even a king-size bed at 66(6 feet and 6 inches) is falling short for 25% of men, while the standard 63 bed caters for (满足要求) less than half of the male population.” said TPCGB president Phil Heinricy, “Seven-foot beds would work fine.”Similarly, restaurant tables can cause no end of problems. Small tables, which mean the long-legged have to sit a foot or so away from them, are enough to make tall customers go elsewhere.Some have already taken note, however. At Queens Moat Houses Caledoman Hotel in Edinburgh, 66beds are now put in as standard after requests for longer beds from taller visitors, particularly Americans.27. What is the purpose of the TPCGB campaign? A. To draw public attention to the needs of the tall. B. To rebuild hotels and restaurants. C. To provide better services. D. To attract more people to become its members.28. Which of the following might be a bed of proper length according to Phil Heinricy? A. 72. B. 63 C. 66 D. 729.What may happen to restaurants with small tables? A. They have to find easy chairs to match the tables. B. They may start businesses elsewhere. C. They may lose some customers. D. They have to provide enough space for the long-legged.30. What change has already been made in a hotel in Edinburgh? A. Tall people pay more for larger beds. B. Guest rooms are standardized. C. Special rooms are kept for Americans. D. 66beds have taken the place of 63 beds.DOnce when I was facing a decision that involved high risk, I went to a friend. He looked at me for a moment, and then wrote a sentence containing the best advice Ive ever had: Be bold and brave and mighty (强大的) forces will come to your aid.Those words made me see clearly that when I had fallen short in the past, it was seldom because I had tried and failed. It was usually because I had let fear of failure stop me from trying at all. On the other hand, whenever I had plunged into deep water, forced by courage or circumstance, I had always been able to swim until I got my feet on the ground again.Boldness means a decision to bite off more than you can eat. And there is nothing mysterious about the mighty forces. They are potential powers we possess: energy, skill, sound judgment, creative ideas even physical strength greater than most of us realize.Admittedly, those mighty forces are spiritual ones. But they are more important than physical ones. A college classmate of mine, Tim, was an excellent football player, even though he weighed much less than the average player. “In one game I suddenly found myself confronting a huge player, who had nothing but me between him and our goal line,” said Tim. “I was so frightened that I closed my eyes and desperately threw myself at that guy like a bullet and stopped him cold.”Boldness a willingness to extend yourself to the extremeis not one that can be acquired overnight. But it can be taught to children and developed in adults. Confidence builds up. Surely, there will be setbacks (挫折) and disappointments in life; boldness in itself is no guarantee of success. But the person who tries to do something and fails is a lot better off than the person who tries to do nothing and succeeds.So, always try to live a little bit beyond your abilitiesand youll find your abilities are greater than you ever dreamed.31. Why was the author sometimes unable to reach his goal in the past?A. Fear prevented him from trying. B. He lacked mighty forces.C. He faced huge risks. D. Failure blocked his way to success.32. What is the implied meaning of the underlined part?A. Swallow more than you can digest.B. Learn to make creative decisions.C. Develop more mysterious powers.D. Act slightly above your abilities.33. What was especially important for Tims successful defense in the football game?A. His physical strength.B. His spiritual force.C. His real fear.D. His basic skill.34. What can be learned from Paragraph 5? A. Confidence grows more rapidly in adults.B. Boldness can be gained little by little.C. Repeated failure creates a better life.D. Trying without success is meaningless.35. What is the authors purpose in writing this passage?A. To tell people the ways to guarantee success.B. To advise people to build up physical power.C. To encourage people to be courageous.D. To recommend people to develop more abilities.第二节 （共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。Building Trust in a Relationship Again Trust is a learned behavior that we gain from past experiences. 36 . That is a risk. But you cant be successful when theres a lack of trust in a relationship that results from an action where the wrongdoer takes no responsibility to fix the mistake. Unfortunately, weve all been victims of betrayal. Whether weve been stolen from, lied to, misled, or cheated on, there are different levels of losing trust. Sometimes people simply cant trust anymore. 37 . Its understandable, but if youre willing to build trust in a relationship again, we have some steps you can take to get you there.l 38 Having confidence in yourself will help you make better choices because you can see what the best outcome would be for your well-being.l 39 If youve been betrayed, you are the victim of your circumstance. But theres a difference between being a victim and living with a “victim mentality”. At some point in all of our lives, well have our trust tested or violated.l You didnt lose “everything”. Once trust is lost, what is left? Instead of looking at the situation from this hopeless angle, look at everything you still have and be thankful for all of the good in your life. 40 Instead, its a healthy way to work through the experience to allow room for positive growth and forgiveness.A. Stop regarding yourself as the victim.B. Theyve been too badly hurt and they cant bear to let it happen again.C. Learn to really trust yourself.D. Remember that you can expect the best in return.E. It is putting confidence in someone.F. This knowledge carries over in their attitude toward their future relationships.G. Seeing the positive side of things doesnt mean youre ignoring what happened.第三部分 英语知识运用 （共两节，满分45分）第一节 完型填空 （共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。One night, when I was eight, my mother gently asked me a question I would never forget. “Sweetie, my company wants to 41 me but needs me to work in Brazil.
