阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C、和D)中,选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
George Gershwin, born in 1898, was one of America’s greatest composers. 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 Gershwin’s 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 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 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 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 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. Many of Gershwin’s m usical works were________.
A. written about New Yorkers
B. composed for Paul Whiteman
C. performed in various ways
D. played mainly in the countryside
22. What do we know about the concert organized by Whiteman?
A. It proved jazz could be serious music.
B. It attracted more people to theatres.
C. It made Gershwin leader of the orchestra.
D. It caused a debate among jazz musicians.
高三英语第3页
23. What do we learn from the last paragraph?
A. Many of Gershwin’s works were lost.
B. A concert was held in memory of Gershwin.
C. The death of Gershwin was widely reported.
D. Brain cancer research started after Gershwin’s death.
24. Which of the following best describes Gershwin?
A. Serious and boring.
B. Talented and productive.
C. Popular and unhappy.
D. Friendly and honest.

It may help you to know that there is no such thing as a perfect speech. At some point in every speech, every speaker says something that is not understood exactly as he has planned. Fortunately, such moments are usually not obvious to the listeners, why? Because the listeners do not know what the speaker plans to say, they hear only what the speaker does say. If you lose your place for a moment, wrongly change the order of a couple of sentences, or forget to pause at a certain point, no one will be any the wiser. When such moments occur, don’t worry about them. Just continue as if nothing happened.
Even if you do make an obvious mistake durin g a speech, that doesn’t really matter. If you have ever listened to Martin Luther King’s famous speech—“I have a dream”, you may notice that he stumbles over his words twice during the speech. Most likely, however, you don’t remember. Why? Because you were fixing your attention on his message rather than on his way of speech-making. People care a lot about making mistakes in a speech because they regard speech-making as a kind of performance rather than as an act of communication. They feel the listeners are like judges in an ice-skating competition. But, in fact, the listeners are not looking for a perfect performance. They are looking for a well-thought-out speech that expresses the speaker’s ideas clearly and directly. Sometimes a mistake or two can actu ally in crease a speaker’s attractiveness by making him more human.
As you work on your speech, don’t worry about being perfect. Once you free your mind of this, you will find it much easier to give your speech freely.
25. The underlined part in the first paragraph means that no one will _________.
A. be smarter than you
B. do better than you
C. notice your mistakes
D. know what you are talking about
26. You don’t remember obvious mistakes in a speech because _________.
A. you find the way of speech-making more important
B. you don’t fully understand the speech
C. you don’t know what the speaker plans to say
D. you attention is on the content
高三英语第4页
27. It can be inferred from the passage that _________.
A. one or two mistakes in a speech may not be bad
B. giving a speech is like giving a performance
C. the listeners should pay more attention to how a speech is made
D. the more mistake a speaker makes, the more attractive he will be
28. What would be the best title for the passage?
A. How to Be a Perfect Speaker
B. How to Make a Perfect Speech
C. Don’t Expect Mistakes in a Speech
D. Don’t Expect a Perfect Speech

Fear and its companion pain are two of the most useful things that man and animals possess if they are used. If fire didn’t hurt when it burned, children would play wi th it until their hands were burned away. Similarly, if pain existed but fear didn’t, a child could burn itself again and again because fear would not warn it to keep away from the fire that had burnt it before. A really fearless soldier—and some do exist—is not a good soldier because he is soon killed; and a dead soldier is of no use to his army. Fear and pain are therefore two guards without which man and animals might soon die out.
In our first sentence we suggested that fear ought to be properly used. If, for example, you never go out of your house because of the danger of being knocked down and killed in the street by a car, you are letting fear rule you too much. The important thing is not to let fear rule you, but instead, to use fear as your servant and guide. Fear will warn you of dangers;
then you have to decide what action to take.
In many cases, you can take quick and successful action to avoid the danger. For example, you see a car coming straight towards you; fear warns you, you jump out of the way, and all is well.
In some cases, however, you decide that there is nothing that you can do to avoid the danger. For example, you cannot prevent an airplane crashing into your house, and you may not want to go and live in a desert where there are no airplanes. In this case, fear has given you its warning, you have examined it and decided on your course of action, so fear of the particular danger is no longer of any use to you, and you have to try to overcome it.
32. Children would play with fire until their hands are burnt away if _________.
A. they were not well educated at school
B. they were fearful of pain
C. they had never played with fire before
D. they had no sense of pain
33. People sometimes succeed in timely avoiding danger because _________.
A. they have gained experience
B. they jump out of the way in time
C. they are warned of the danger and take quick action
D. they are calm in face of danger
34. What is implied but not stated in the passage?
A. Fear is always something helpful
B. Too much fear is harmful
C . Fear is something that can be avoided
D. Fear ought to be used as our guide in our life
35. The best title for this passage should be __________.
A. The Value of Fear
B. Pain and Actions
C. No Pains, No Gains D . The Reason Why People Fear

Many kids help out around the house with chores(家庭杂务), such as sweeping the floor, emptying the dishwasher, taking out the trash and so on. 36
Paying kids for chores is one of the most hotly debated parenting topics, especially at a time where everyone is more concerned about their finances. The logic behind tying allowances to chores is clear. 37 So they should pay kids to do their jobs.
38 Susie Walton, a parenting educator and family coach, believes that by rewarding kids, parents are sending a message that work isn’t worth doin g unless you get something in return. “Running any kind of household is a team effort.” Susie said. “A home is a living space for everyone in the family. It’s important for kids to see that we all have responsibilities in the house, and that families decide together how they want their home to look, and how they are going to keep it looking like everyone wants it to look.”
39 They believe that getting a cash allowance or other rewards motivates kids to do chores, and it also teaches them real world lessons about how we need to work to earn money. “Our goal is to encourage kids to earn rewards,”says Chris Bergman, founder of Chore Monster. “40 ”
A. Many people hold the view.
B. In exchange, they get some pocket money or other rewards.
C. Other people think differently.
D. But some people do not think that kids should get rewards for doing chores.
E. Grown-ups get paid to do their jobs.
F. Kids need positive reinforcement(强化)to help motivate them.
G. Pay kids is sending a bad message.

This report is about how to be polite. It 61 ( examine ) how we can make our language more polite and how we can make sure we do not upset someone from another culture. The information can be accessed on the Internet.
It has been found that words such as “would” and “could” can be used 62 ( help) us to be polite. For example, it is much 63 (good) to say “Would you do this?” rather than “Do this!”. It is also suggested 64 it is useful to say “Please” and“Thank you”. People from the West like to use these words in cases where some people in Asia may not think it necessary. 65 ( Say ) “sorry” if we interrupt or disagree66 someone also helps us to be polite. For example, when we disagree, we should say “I’m sorry, but I think you are 67 (mistake)” rather than “Y ou’re wrong!”

The hard life made him strong and able. At that time there was another interest in the life of the young Ford. He dreamed to make a machine that could run without a horse. So it was named "a horseless carriage". He overcame a lot of difficulties and in April, 1893, the "horseless carriage" was finally finished, which was the first car.
Later Henry Ford founded the Ford Motor Company. He was really the first inventor of the car in the world.。
