various ways解析细节理解题。根据原文第二段末over the years they have been sung and played in every possible wayfrom jazz to 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 。2what 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b.3what did gershwin do during his stay in paris?ahe created one of his best works.bhe studied with nadia boulanger.che argued with french critics.dhe changed his music style.解析细节理解题。根据原文第四段中“it still remains one of his most famous works.”其中it指的就是an american in paris，“one of his most famous works.”即a选项中的 one of his best works。答案a.4what 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.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b.5which 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。阅读下列短文, 从给的四个选项 (a、b、c和d) 中, 选出最佳选项。a chance to meet the inuit people of nunavut in canada. while staying with the inuit people you will have the chance to ride on a dog sled and canoe in a seal skin kayak.if

in your 30s or 40s, it gets harder and harder to reinvent yourself. so i made an interview with dr. meg jay, the clinical psychologist. he explains why the twenties matter, and how to make the most of them. in dr. meg jays opinion, our 20s are the defining decade of adulthood. 80% of lifes most important moments take place by about age 35. and 2/3 of lifetime wage growth happens during the first ten years of a career. more than half of americans are married or are dating or living with their future partner by age 30. personality can change more during our 20s than at any other decade in life. female fertility(生育能力) peaks at 28. the brain caps off (结束) its last major growth. when it comes to adult development, 30 is not the new 20. even if you do nothing, not making choices is a choice all the same. dont be defined by what you didnt know or didnt do.on the other hand, i also ask him how the 20s track their progress toward their future goals and whether milestones like 21 and 30 are really important. dr. meg jay think it absolutely important. milestones-21, 25, 30, new years, birthdays, reunions-are important because they cause self-reflection. what he mentioned are as follows: am i where i wanted to be by this age? did i do what i said i would do this year? if not, why not. and if not now, when? a 20-year-old girl who interviewed me recently told me about a question she was advised to ask herself as she moved through adulthood: if you keep living your life exactly as it is, where will you be in 3 years? if you dont like the answer, now is the time to change course.surely the 20s are for experimenting, but not just with philosophies(人生观) and vacations and substances(物质). the 20s are your best chance to experiment with jobs and relationships. then each move can be more intentional and more informed than the last.31. once you make a decision in your 20s, it will _.a. be the best partb. be the worst partc. change your whole lifed. affect your future life【答案】d【解析】细节理解题。根据第一段第一句every decision you make can change the rest of your life.你20多岁做出的决定影响你的未来生活，故选d。32. what does the underlined word in paragraph 2 mean?a. decisiveb. describingc. explaining

stresses the importance of 20s is that _.a. it is a milestoneb. it tracks their progress c. it leads to self-reflectiond. it achieves their future goals【答案】c【解析】细节理解题。从第三句 cause
