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 worldfamous 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 wellknown musician nadia boulanger，but she rejected him.she was afraid that classical study would ruin his jazzinfluenced 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 stilly and boring.but it quickly became popular in europe and the united states.it still remains one of his most famous works.george gershwin died in 1937，just days after doctors learned he had brain cancer.he was only thirtynine 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.56many of gershwins musical works were_.awritten about new yorkersbcomposed for paul whitemancplayed mainly in the countrysidedperformed in various ways57what do we know about the concert organized by whiteman?ait attracted more people to theatres.bit proved jazz could be serious music.cit made gershwin leader of the orchestra.dit caused a debate among jazz musicians.58what do we learn from the last paragraph?amany of gershwins works were lost.bthe death of gershwin was widely reported.ca concert was held in memory of gershwin.dbrain cancer research started after gershwins death.59which of the following best describes gershwin?atalented and productive. bserious and boring.cpopular and unhappy. dfriendly and honest.bwhile the world is turning to green energy，there is a trend in the united states to take “green medicine”“green medicine”，which refers to herbal and chinese medicine，has become another choice for americans to keep healthy.naturopathic(自然疗法的) medicine includes traditional chinese medicine，such as herbal medicine，natural treatment and acupuncture.although there are different ways to use herbal medicine for treatment from europe，and asia，traditional chinese medicine is absolutely very influential in the united states and other countries.it is not easy to become a naturopathic doctor since it requires four years of medical education at postgraduate level medical schools.a naturopathic doctor has to pass exams to get a doctors license to practice and receive additional education to provide herbal medicine and other treatment such as acupuncture for patients.naturopathic doctors can have their own stores to provide herbal and chinese medicines to the patients.a_recent_study_showed_that_herbal_products_have_gained_increasing_popularity_in_the_united_states_in_the_last_decade，and_are_now_used_by_approximately_20_percent_of_the_us_population.herbal products are complex mixtures of organic chemicals that may come from any raw or processed part of a plant，including leaves，stems，flowers，roots，and seeds.however，under the current us law，herbs are defined as dietary supplements，and producers can therefore produce，sell，and market herbs without first demonstrating safety and efficiency，as is required for drugs.most prescription drugs(处方药) are from chemicals and have side effects.when people are turning to green energy to save the earth，more americans like to try a more natural way to treat diseases，and herbal and chinese medicines are their choices.60what can be the best title of the passage?agoing natural，more americans choose herbal and chinese medicinebnaturopathic medicine is absolutely influential in the worldcmore americans like to try prescription drugsdherbal products can be produced and sold without showing safety61“green medicine” probably refers to “_”aherbal products and drugsbherbal and chinese medicinecmixtures of organic chemicalsddietary supplements62a naturopathic doctor_.amust study for four years at graduate level medical schoolsbcan provide herbal medicines to the patients after graduatingchas to receive additional education to provide treatmentdcan get a doctors license after studying and practice in hospital63what can be inferred from the underlined part in paragraph 4?aamericans have imported a lot of medicine lately.bherbal products in the us are a big business.cmost people are still against herbal products.damericans tend to give up chemical products.cthere are many things people do with their spare time.have you ever thought about tuning(调音) your own piano for fun and profit？are you a piano teacher or player who really does not want the expense of hiring a piano tuner and feels that you could do it yourself with a little training？well，this is your lucky day.all you need are the right tools，a piano and patience.so，why would i want to tune my piano？there are many reasons for tuning your own piano.it is a very pleasant thing to do.you can make up to $80 each time tuning other peoples pianos.there are millions of pianos in the world and thousands of new ones are being sold every day.there are not enough piano tuners available to tune them all.you can provide a valuable service for friends，family and others.you can teach yourself very cheaply and then develop it into a parttime or fulltime business.you may have thought that only a trained expert could do this，someone who had devoted years of study and developed a sense of perfect pitch(音高)in the past，tuning a piano was as much an art form as it was a technology exercise，but now the balance is swaying(摇动) more towards the technology and the final result is as good or even better than tuning by ear.a few simple tools and a laptop computer with tuning software are all that are required.the real secret is the tuning software，which makes the whole process extremely easy.it means you do not have to train your ears but just look at the laptop screen to know when the piano string is in tune.i have put together an ebook in my website with all the information you need to get started tuning your own piano，where to get the free software and where to buy the tools.i hope i have inspired you to think about piano tuning and actually give it a go.you will find it a very rewarding and pleasant activity even if it remains just a hobby.64the writer asks two questions in the first paragraph to_.ashow his doubt on the topicbask readers to answer the questions clearlycencourage readers to make comments on this topicdattract readers to more information on the topic65according to the passage，why should you learn to tune pianos?ato offer help to piano tuners.bto save money and earn money as well.cbecause it can help you make a piano yourself.dbecause it can help you learn how to play the piano.66if you want to get the tuning software and tools，you can_.aget them for free from the piano sellersbbuy them from the writers online shopscmake them yourself according to the passagedsurf the writers website for the information67in the last paragraph，the writer mainly wants to show that_.aone must be active to play the pianobpiano tuning will be popular in the futurecits valuable to take piano tuning as a hobbydits difficult to tune pianos without professional trainingdno one was left in the museum now，and john was walking round to see if everything was all right.suddenly he saw a beautiful painting lying on the floor.john picked it up and gave it to the director of the museum.the director called several museums to check and see if it was a stolen painting，but no one claimed it.so the director decided to hang it in the museum.all the experts came to look at the painting.each one said it was beautiful and had very deep meaning.the director was proud to have such a painting in his museum and congratulated john on his discovery.some weeks later a woman and her little son came to the museum.while they were looking at the new painting，the little boy began to cry.the director went over and asked him.“why are you crying？”the child pointed to the painting and said，“thats my painting on the wall and i want it back.”“yes，”said his mother，“he left it on the floor a few weeks ago.if you look carefully，you can see his name on the painting.”68john was
