country.其中“they”指代gershwins musical works，“in every possible way ”与 various ways属于同义替换，所以选d。答案d 14what 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.解析细节理解题。根据原文第三段中in 1924, jazz musician and orchestra leader paul whiteman decided to organize a special concert to show that jazz was serious music .其中“show that jazz was serious music”和b选项是表达的一个意思，所以选b。答案b15what did gershwin do during his stay in paris?ahe created one of his best

memory of gershwin.dbrain cancer research started after gershwins death.解析推理判断题。根据原文最后一段，“newspapers all over the world reported his death on their front pages.”即说明了b选项“the death of gershwin was widely reported.”故b正确。其它选项均没有涉及。答案b17which of the following best describes gershwin?atalented and productive. bserious and boring.cpopular and unhappy. dfriendly and honest.解析主旨大意题。从全文看，这个人不可能用boring这样感情色彩负面的词来形容，故b错误；文中提到他popular，但没有说他unhappy，故c错误；friendly和honest在文中没有具体体现，没有根据，故d错误；a选项中talented有天分的，productive多产的，准确地描述了gershwin作为一个作曲家所具备的素质。答案a阅读理解。 a year after graduation, i was offered a position teaching a writing class. teaching was a profession i had never seriously considered, though several of my stories had been published. i accepted the job without hesitation, as it would allow me to wear a tie and go by the name of mr. davis. my father went by the same name, and i liked to imagine people getting the two of us confused. “wait a minute” someone

overlooking a forests of hands. every student would yell. “calm down, youll all get your turn. one at a time, one at a time!” a terrible silence ruled the room, and seeing no other opinions, i
