24、nty 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

25、 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 j

26、azz 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 t

27、hrilled 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

28、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 re

Friendly and honest.DTiredness, coughing, a runny nose and a sore throatamong all sicknesses there is probably none more common than the flu (流感), which we all get now and then. However,

33、 bird flu is a completely different story.In 2003, the H5N1 bird flu swept across 15 countries, including China, with sufferers reporting chest pain, difficulty breathing, fever and severe coughing. More than 600 people were infected, and about 60 percent died. Now, another type of bird flu hit Shan

34、ghai and three neighboring provinces, and this time the virus is called H7N9. By the afternoon of April 11, the new virus had taken nine lives out of 35 infected, according to Xinhua News Agency.The “H” and “N” in the virus name refer to two kinds of proteins (蛋白质) on the surface of the virus. Any c

35、hange of the numbers of the two proteins indicates a new mutation(变异). Most of the mutations only affect birds, such as chickens and pigeons, and dont normally spread to humans. But once they do, the results can be disastrous.- 8 -“Any time an animal influenza virus crosses to humans, it is a cause

36、for concern, ” Malik Peiris, virologist (病毒学家) at the University of Hong Kong, told Nature magazine. Take the SARS epidemic (传染病 ) in 2003 as an example. The virus behind the disease is thought to have jumped to humans from animals. The virus was a complete “stranger” to human bodies, which hadnt de

37、veloped an immunity (免疫力) against it.But there is something more about the new H7N9 bird flu. Unlike the H5N1 bird flu, which causes severe sickness in birds, the H7N9 has been evolving under the radar(悄悄地 ) since it travels between birds without causing noticeable illness. That makes it difficult t

38、o keep track of the disease.The good news is that theres so far no sign that the virus is spreading from person to person. But since there is no vaccine (疫苗) for the disease yet, the World Health Organization recommends that you wash your hands after meeting with sick people and before and after you

41、e where the SARS virus came fromB. inform us of the harmful effects of the SARS epidemic ten years agoC. show the horrible effects an animal influenza virus can have once it spreads to humansD. compare the differences between the SARS epidemic and the H7N9 bird flu34.

44、处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。 （如果所用的答题卡没有 E、F、G 选项，则选 E 涂 A、B，选 F 涂 A、C，选 G 涂A、D。 ）I live in Japan, where electronic items are a way of life, so it is no surprise that many students carry these little electronic dictionaries. E-dictionaries may be lighter and compacter (简洁的) than any paper dictionary. 36 Howe

45、ver, to me, these are pretty much the limits to their advantages. I think e-dictionaries should be limited in their use in classrooms. 37 E-dictionaries are much more expensive. In Japan, they cost as little as 10,000 yen (US$100) much as 40,000 yen, depending on how many functions you want and depe

46、nding on how fashionable you are. My trusty Random House paper dictionary is copyrighted at 1995, cost me a mere US$12.95 plus tax.E-dictionaries are more easily broken or damaged. Drop your paper dictionary. Go ahead. Hold it above your head and drop it. 38 E-dictionaries need batteries. Batteries

47、are temperature sensitive. Batteries cost money, too.E-dictionaries have keypads. Typing in the spelling of a word is harder and more time consuming than looking through pages and using the index at the top of each page.- 10 -39 Sound. Little devices beep (嘟嘟声) when you press the buttons, but it is

48、very disturbing to some people in a classroom situation or library.Finally, lets consider making corrections or additions. No dictionary is perfect, paper version or electronic. However, when you find something youd like to change in the e-dictionary, you cant do anything about it. You can pencil in

49、 some notes with the paper type. Similarly, if you learn a word that isnt in the dictionary, a few notes of a pencil make it easy to increase its memory capacity. 40 And, for those students whose habit is to mark certain words with a highlight pen for ease of future reference, again, the paper dictionary wins out.ANow, try this with any lightweight plastic e-dictionary, and youll be picking up the pieces.BLet me add a statement about one that really troubles me.CThey may even contain more words an
