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 way from 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.29.

What do we learn from the last paragraph?A. Many of Gershwins works were lost. B. The death of Gershwin was widely reported.C. A concert was held in memory of Gershwin. D. Brain cancer research started after Gershwins death.32. Which of the following best describes Gershwin?A. Talented and productive. B. Serious and boring. C. Popular and unhappy. D.

E-dictionaries may be lighter and compacter (简洁的) than any paper dictionary. 36 However, to me, these are pretty much the limits to their advantages. I think e-dictionaries should be limited in their use in classrooms. 37 E-dictionaries are much more expensive. In Japan, they cost as little as 10,000 yen (US$100) much as 40,000 yen, depending on how many functions you want and depending on how fashionable you are. My trusty Random House paper dictionary is copyrighted at 1995, cost me a mere US$12.95 plus tax.E-dictionaries are more easily broken or damaged. Drop your paper dictionary. Go ahead. Hold it above your head and drop it. 38 E-dictionaries need batteries. Batteries are temperature sensitive. Batteries cost money, too.E-dictionaries have keypads. Typing in the spelling of a word is harder and more time consuming than looking through pages and using the index at the top of each page. 39 Sound. Little devices beep (嘟嘟声) when you press the buttons, but it is very disturbing to some people in a classroom situation or library.Finally, lets consider making corrections or additions. No dictionary is perfect, paper version or electronic. However, when you find something youd like to change in the e-dictionary, you cant do anything about it. You can pencil in some notes with the paper type. Similarly, if you learn a word that isnt in the dictionary, a few notes of a pencil make it easy to increase its memory capacity. 40 And, for those students whose habit is to mark certain words with a highlight pen for ease of future reference, again, the paper dictionary wins out.A. Now, try this with any lightweight plastic e-dictionary, and youll be picking up the pieces.B. Let me add a statement about one that really troubles me.C. They may even contain more words and expressions.D. But it is impossible to do so with a keypad model.E. That huge, heavy paper dictionary that you see in your library looks like a building block in size and weight.F.E-dictionaries have advantages as well as disadvantages.G. Lets take a look at the following reasons.第三部分英语知识运用(共三节,满分45分)第一节完形填空(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,选出可以填人空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。My 9-year-old daughter and I were flying from our home in Carolina to spend a week with my husband in Florida.
