(2024·山东高考)
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

A. It attracted more people to theatres.
B. It proved jazz could be serious music.
C. It made Gershwin leader of the orchestra.

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.

完形填空——如何分析长难句
高考完形填空的长句、难句的数量逐年增多。首先需要分析其类型(是带有较多成分的简单句, 还是含有多个简单句的并列句, 还是含有多个从句的复合句, 还是含有多个插入成分的句子), 然后理清句子成分, 去除干扰成分, 抓住句子主干, 这样就能准确把握句子的意义。
请试着分析完形填空中的句子。
A number of times I saw a man passing by who looked as though he was struggling in life and may even have been homeless.
【分析】本句是一个复合句。who引导的是一个
从句, 修饰先行词 。在主句中使用了“see+宾语+宾语补足语”结构; 从句中as though引导的是一个从句, 从句中又使用了and连接的两个并列结构。
【翻译】 答案解析
Ⅰ. 1. 【解析】选B。考查过去分词作定语和虚拟语气。句意: 在艾滋病日, 卫生部部长要求被提到的问题被特别注意。refer to“提及, 所指”这里和problem是被动关系, 用过去分词作定语, 因为主句的谓语是demanded从句应该是虚拟语气, 用should do, should可以省略, 而且问题是被注意, 故用be paid special attention to。
【加固训练】
You should keep it in mind that prices change according to supply and .
A. worthB. demandC. packageD. list
【解析】选B。考查名词辨析。句意: 你应该记住价格受供求关系的影响。supply and demand表示“供求”, 符合句意。worth意为“价值”; package意为“包装”; list意为“单子, 名册”。
2. 【解析】选C。考查冠词。句意: 《江南Style》是这两首歌中比较流行的一首。第一个空指“两首中比较……的”用“the +比较级”; 第二个空特指这两首歌, 用定冠词the。故选C。
3. 【解析】选D。考查名词辨析。句意: 这门特殊的课程是为了开发学生的音乐鉴赏能力。appreciation of music音乐鉴赏。
4. 【解析】选C。考查省略句式。if引导的条件状语从句还原应为if I am not tired from work, 根据省略的原则, 所以答案选C。
5. 【解析】选B。考查“can’t. . . +比较级”的用法。根据语境, 我不喜欢这个智能手机, 看它的功能, 太糟糕了。故答案为B项。【加固训练】
(原创)I consider more important in my life than song writing.
A. nothing B. anything
C. something
D. everything
【解析】选A。考查否定词+比较级。句意: 我想我的生活中没什么比写歌更重要了。否定词和比较级连用表达最高级的意思。故选A。
6. 【解析】选A。句意: 自去年以来芝加哥市的犯罪率急剧下降。decline下降, 谢绝, 符合题意。
7. 【解析】选B。考查动词辨析。句意: 正当丹尼犹豫的时候, 他抓住机会进攻。seize在这里表示“抓住(机会)”, 宾语一般是chance, opportunity, moment等。
8. 【解析】选B。考查形容词。句意: 我不得不承认当涉及找工作时, 妈妈的建议真的很实用。actual意为“实际的”; practical意为“实用的, 实践的”; real意为“真材实料的”; merciful意为“同情的”。故选B。
9. 【解析】选C。考查动词辨析。句意: 警察仍在寻找跟上星期的抢劫案有牵连的人。seek寻找, 寻求, 符合语境。look看; find找到; demand要求, 需要, 都不符合语境。
10. 【解析】选D。考查短语辨析。句意: 随着职业生涯的即将结束, 阿姆斯特朗开始期待同家人一起在海滩度过一段日子。in view看得见; in range在射程内; within reach能力所及; in sight看得见, 在望, 临近。
11. 【解析】选C。考查状语从句。before的基本含义是“在……之前”, 又可以根据不同语境灵活翻译成“才”、“还没来得及就……”、“趁……就”等。这里before用于肯定句中, 强调主句动作所用时间长或花费的精力大, 译成“才”。
【加固训练】
John thinks it won’t be long he is accustomed to his new job.
A. whenB. afterC. beforeD. since
【解析】选C。考查状语从句。句意: 约翰认为不会过多久他就会习惯于他的新工作。“It won’t be long before. . . ”是固定句型, 意为“不会过多久就……”。
12. 【解析】选B。考查短语辨析。break down意思是“(机器等)坏了, (身体)垮了”; break out意思是“(战争、病情、火灾等的)爆发”; break up意思是“分解; 分手”; break off意思是“中断”。故选B。
【加固训练】

A. broke awayB. broke out
C. broke downD. broke up
【解析】选C。break down(身体)垮掉, (精神)崩溃, (计划等)失败, 符合题意。
13. 【解析】选A。考查动词短语辨析。句意: 他们再也不必雇用大量临时工来收割(农作物)了。take on呈现, 雇用, 符合语境。take off脱下; take up从事, 占据; take in欺骗, 理解, 都不符合语境。
14. 【解析】选D。考查dare的用法。dare是情态动词时, 无人称、时态和数的变化, 后接动词原形。dare作行为动词时, 要用dare to do sth. , 行为动词有时态和数的变化, 这句话的主语是he, 其谓语的正确形式应该是dared to say。
