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.21. What did Gershwin do during his stay in Paris?A. He created one of his best works B. He studied with Nadia BoulangerC. He argued with French critics D. He changed his music style22.What do we learn from the last paragraph?A. Many of Gershwins works were lostB. The death of Gershwin was widely reportedC. A concert was held in memory of GershwinD. Brain cancer research started after Gershwins death.23. Which of the following best describes Gershwin?A. Talented and productiveB. Serious and boringC. Popular and unhappy D. Friendly and honestBOn a hill 600 feet above the surrounding land, we watch the lines of rain move across the scene, the moon rise over the hills, and the stars appear in the sky. The views invite a long look from a comfortable chair in front of the wooden house.Every window in our wooden house has a view, and the forest and lakes seldom look the same as the hour before. Each look reminds us where we are.There is space for our three boys to play outside, to shoot arrows, collect tree seeds, build earth houses and climb trees.Our kids have learned the names of the trees, and with the names have come familiarity and appreciation. As they tell all who show even a passing interest, maple（枫树）makes the best fighting sticks and white pines are the best climbing trees.The air is clean and fresh. The water from the well has a pleasant taste, and it is perhaps the healthiest water our kids will ever drink. Though they have one glass a day of juice and the rest is water, they never say anything against that.The seasons change just outside the door. We watch the maples turn every shade of yellow and red in the fall and note the poplars（杨树）putting out the first green leaves of spring. The rainbow smelt fills the local steam as the ice gradually disappears, and the wood frogs start to sing in pools after being frozen for the winter. A family of birds rules our skies and flies over the lake.24. What can be learned from Paragraph 2?A. The scenes are colorful and changeable.B. There are many windows in the wooden house.C. The views remind us that we are in a wooden house.D. The lakes outside the windows are quite different in color.25. By mentioning the names of the trees, the author aims to show that _ .A. the kids like playing in treesB. the kids are very familiar with treesC. the kids have learned much knowledgeD. the kids find trees useful learning tools26. What does the underlined sentence in the last paragraph mean?A. The change of seasons is easily felt.B. The seasons make the scenes change.C. The weather often changes in the forest.D. The door is a good position to enjoy changing seasons.27. What is the main purpose of the author writing the text?A. To describe the beauty of the scene around the house.B. To introduce her childrens happy life in the forest.C. To show that living in the forest is healthful.D. To share the joy of living in the nature.CThe iPhone, the iPad: each of Apples products sounds cool and has become a fashion. Apple has cleverly taken advantage of the power of the letter “i” - and many other brands are following suit. The BBCs iPlayer - which allows Web users to watch TV programs on the Internet -used the title in 2020. A lovely bear - popular in the US and UK - that plays music and video is called “iTeddy”. A slimmed-down version(简装本) of Londons Independent newspaper was started last week under the name “i”.In general, single-letter prefixes(前缀) have been popular since the 1990s, when terms like e-mail first came into use.Most “i” products are aimed at young people and considering the major readers of independents “i”, its no surprise that theyve selected this fashionable name.But its hard to see whats so special about the letter “i”. Why not use “a”, “b”, or “c” instead? According to Tony Thorne, head of the Language Center at Kings College, London, “i” works because its meaning has become ambiguous. When Apple uses “i”, no one knows whether it means Internet, information, individual or interactive, Thorne told BBC Magazines. “Even when Apple created the iPod, it seems it didnt have one clear definition（定义）,” he says.“However, thanks to Apple, the term is now connected with portability (轻便) .”adds Thorne.Clearly the letter “i” also agrees with the idea that the Western World is centered on the individual. Each person believes they have their own needs, and we love personalized products for this reason.Along with “Google” and “blog”, readers of BBC Magazines voted “i” as one of the top 20 words that have come to define the last ten years.But as history shows, people grow tired of fashions. From the 1900s to 1990s, products with “2000” in their names became fashionable as the year was connected with all things advanced and modern. However, as we entered the new century, the fashion disappeared.28. People use iPlayer to _.A. read newspapers B. watch TV programs onlineC. make a call D. listen to music29. We can infer that the Independents “i” is designed for _.A. engineers B. old readersC. fashionable women D. young readers30. The underlined word “ambiguous” means “_”.A. popularB. clearC. uncertain D. unique31. Paragraph 6 connects the power of “i” with _.A. Apples products B. information technologyC. the Western culture D. the InternetDThe 2020 Olympic Games in Rio may have drawn world-class athletes from around the world, but it was the supermodel Gisele Bundchen that stole the show in an extremely attractive dress in what might have been her biggest catwalk moment to date.Brazilian supermodel Gisele Bundchen was born in July 20, 1980 in Horizontina, Rio Grande do Sol, Brazil. Originally she wanted to be a professional volleyball player. After being spotted at age 14 in a shopping mall in Sao Paulo, Bundchen moved to New York City to begin her fashion modeling career in 1996 and is now the most famous face in the business.Giseles first Vogue magazine cover appeared on newsstands in July 1999, and since then, she has become one of the most internationally recognized models. Gisele appeared in more than 7,000 magazine covers around the world. The only woman who made more covers was Princess Diana. Bundchen is said to be the highest paid supermodel of all time, earning a reported $ 33 million in 2020, which has risen by 12 million dollars by 2020.Although she retired from the runway in 2020 to focus on her family and other projects, Gisele made this-the Opening Ceremony in her Brazil-her brilliant return, which is for sure the longest runway she has ever walked in her life.32. The underlined phrase stole the show in Paragraph 1 can be replaced by_.A. showed herself off B. stole the cameraC. made a hit D. drew less attention33. What can we learn about Gisele Bundchen from the text?A. Originally she didnt have the intention to be a model.B. She made more magazine covers than Princess Diana.C. She began her fashion modeling career in Sao Paulo.D. She walked the longest runway in the world.34. Which of the following may be the best title for the text?A. A Profitable career B. A Fortunate Brazilian GirlC. A Money-earning Approach D. A World-famous Supermodel35. Where does the text probably come from?A. A finance report. B. A science newspaper.C. A popular magazine. D. An official document.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。Renting an apartmentFinding the right apartment to rent can have a great effect on your life. 36 .Where is the apartment?
