四：话题阅读训练

（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 (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 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.

1.Many of Gershwin's musical works were ____ .

A. written about New Yorkers        B. composed for Paul Whiteman

C. played mainly in the countryside    D. performed in various ways

2.What do we know about the concert organized by Whiteman?

 A. It attracted more people to theatres.

 B. It proved jazz could be serious music.

 C. It made Gershwin leader of the orchestra.

 D. It caused a debate among jazz musicians.

3.What did Gershwin do during his stay in Paris?

A. He created one of his best works.  

B. He studied with Nadia Boulanger.

C. He argued with French critics.

D. He changed his music style.

4.What do we learn from the last paragraph?

A. Many of Gershwin's works were lost.

B. The death of Gershwin was widely reported.

C. A concert was held in memory of Gershwin.

D. Brain cancer research started after Gershwin's death.

5.Which of the following best describes Gershwin?

A. Talented and productive.       B. Serious and boring.

C. Popular and unhappy.                 D. Friendly and honest.

参考答案：

1.D  根据第二段的最后一句"Over the years they have been sung and played in every possible way — from jazz to country."可知，人们以各种形式演唱或演奏格什温创作的曲子。故选D。

2.B  根据第三段最后一句中的"showed that jazz music could be both serious and popular"可知，B项正确。

3.A  根据第四段中的"While there, Gershwin wrote An American in Paris."和"It still remains one of his most famous works."可知,A项正确。

4.B  根据最后一段的第三句"Newspapers all over the world reported his death on their front pages."可知，世界各地的报纸都对他的去世进行了报道。故选B。

5.A  通读全文，尤其是第一段的内容可知，格什温18岁开始作曲，因此他很有"天赋"；他一生创作了500多首曲子，因此他是位"多产的"作曲家。

（B）

On one of her trips to New York several years ago, Eudora Welty decided to take a couple of New York friends out to dinner. They settled in at a comfortable East Side cafe and within minutes, another customer was approaching their table.

"Hey, aren't you from Mississippi?" the elegant, white-haired writer remembered being asked by the stranger. "I'm from Mississippi too."

Without a second thought, the woman joined the Welty party. When her dinner partner showed up, she also pulled up a chair.

"They began telling me all the news of Mississippi," Welty said. "I didn't know what my New York friends were thinking."

Taxis on a rainy New York night are rarer than sunshine. By the time the group got up to leave, it was pouring outside. Welty's new friends immediately sent a waiter to find a cab. Heading back downtown toward her hotel, her big-city friends were amazed at the turn of events that had changed their Big Apple dinner into a Mississippi state reunion(团聚).

"My friend said: ‘Now we believe your stories,’" Welty added. "And I said:‘Now you know. These are the people that make me write them.’"

Sitting on a sofa in her room, Welty, a slim figure in a simple gray dress, looked pleased with this explanation.

"I don't make them up," she said of the characters in her fiction these last 50 or so years."I don't have to."

Beauticians, bartenders, piano players and people with purple hats, Welty's people come from afternoons spent visiting with old friends, from walks through the streets of her native Jackson, Miss., from conversations overheard on a bus. It annoys Welty that, at 78, her left ear has now given out. Sometimes, sitting on a bus or a train, she hears only a fragment(片断)of a particularly interesting story.

1.What happened when Welty was with her friends at the cafe?

A. Two strangers joined her.              B. Her childhood friends came in.

C. A heavy rain ruined the dinner.          D. Some people held a party there.

2.The underlined word "them" in Paragraph 6 refers to Welty's.

A. readers                             B. parties

C. friends                             D. stories

3.What can we learn about the characters in Welty's fiction?

A. They live in big cities.                 B. They are mostly women.

C. They come from real life.               D. They are pleasure seekers.

参考答案：

1.A  细节理解题。第三段中的 "the woman"指的是第二段中的那个陌生人，根据第三段中的"When her dinner partner showed up, she also pulled up a chair"可知，陌生女子的晚餐伙伴也加入了她们的行列中，故有两个陌生人加入到了Welty和朋友的晚餐中。

2.D  代词指代题。画线词所在句"These are the people that make me write them"的主语These指的就是像那两位陌生人那样的人，换言之，这些新朋友就成了Welty笔下的写作素材,这些人就是让她写小说的人，故them指的是"小说"。

3.C  推理判断题。根据最后两段的内容可知，Welty小说中的人物源于真实生活。

参考文章

Good news for you! There will be a lecture about Confucius next week in our school. Since you are very interested in Chinese culture, this is a good chance for you to get a glimpse of its origin—Confucianism.

The lecture is scheduled to be held at 6 pm next Friday, in Lecture Hall 1. You know we get to know the ideas of Confucius from the book The Analects of Confucius, which keeps a record of his ideas and thoughts about politics and life. The invited professor will focus on one of Confucius' sayings—When we see men of worth, we should think of equaling them;when we see men of a contrary character, we should turn inwards and examine ourselves.

After the lecture, you will know what we follow in our private life and what shapes our personality. We are a people who are good at reflecting on our thoughts and behaviours.

If you are interested in the lecture, remember to be in Lecture Hall 1 at 6 pm next Friday.

Yours,

Li Hua
