Yuan, saw many people die of hunger every day. Since then, he has researched how to grow much better crops. (20世 60年代，中国遭遇了几场自然灾害。袁隆平目睹了许多人每天因饥饿而死亡。从那时起，他便开始研究如何种植产量更高的农作物。)”可推测，袁隆平致力于培育更好的水稻，目的是解决人们的饥饿问题。由此可推测，划线单词的意思和“挨饿”相似。选项C“suffering severely from hunger(严重遭受饥饿)”即，人们不再担心挨饿，符合语境。故选C。 2．细节理解题。根据文章第三段“Yuan, born on Sept.7,1930.

It produced 20% more rice per unit than common ones. The seeding(种植)was very successful in the following year. This progress made China the world’s leader in rice production.(1973年，他开始培育一种杂交水稻品种。这种水稻的单位产量比普通水稻高出 20%。次年，这种水稻的种植大获成功。这一进展使中国在水稻生产领域跃居世界领先地位。)”可知，袁隆平的杂交水稻使中国成为世界水稻生产的领先者。故选C。 4．主旨大意题。根据文章内容可知，文章围绕袁隆平展开，介绍了他的生平、致力于研究杂交水稻的经历、杂交水稻取得的成果以及人们对他“杂交水稻之父”的称呼，还提及了他的梦想，所以文章主要讲的就是“杂交水稻之父”袁隆平。故选A。 （23-24高一下·四川眉山·期中）There was once a boy called Mario who loved to have a lot of friends at school. However, he wasn’t sure whether or not his schoolmates were his real friends, so he asked his grandpa for help. The old man told him, “I just have what you exactly need, and it’s in the attic. Wait a minute here.” Grandpa left, soon returning as though carrying something in his hand, but Mario could see nothing there. “Take it. It’s a very special chair. It’s rather tricky to sit on for it’s invisible, but if you take it to school and manage to sit on it, you’ll be able to tell who your real friends are,” Grandpa said. Mario was curious to know whether it was true or not, so he took the strange invisible chair and set off for school. At break time, he asked his classmates to form a circle, and then he put himself inside, with his chair. “Nobody moves! You’re about to see something amazing.” Then Mario tried to sit on the chair, but he missed and fell down onto his back. Everyone had a pretty good laugh about it. Mario wouldn’t be beaten. He kept trying to sit on the magic chair, and kept falling to the ground… until, suddenly, he tried again and didn’t fall over. This time he sat, hovering in mid-air… Looking around, Mario saw George, Lucas and Diana — three of his best friends, holding him up, so he wouldn’t fall down. Meanwhile, many others he had thought of as friends did nothing but make fun of him, enjoying his every fall. Leaving with his three friends, he explained to them how his grandpa had so cleverly thought of a way to show him that true friends are those who care about us, and not just any acquaintance who happens to be passing by. Even less would a real friend be someone who takes joy in our misfortunes. 1．Why did Mario turn to his grandpa for help? A．Because he didn’t like his school. B．Because he couldn’t make any friends. C．Because he didn’t get along with his schoolmates. D．Because he couldn’t find out who his true friends were. 2．Why was Mario able to hover in the mid-air? A．Because he managed to sit on the invisible chair finally. B．Because his three friends held him up with their hands. C．Because his classmates gave him a chair to sit on. D．Because he could see the magic chair clearly. 3．Who are real friends according to the text? A．Those who laugh with us. B．Those who take joy in our misfortunes. C．Those who care about us when we are in trouble. D．Those who care for us when we are popular at school. 4．How did Mario most probably feel in the end of the text? A．Happy. B．Unconcerned. C．Upset.

(然而，他不确定他的同学是否是他真正的朋友，所以他向他的爷爷求助)”可知，Mario向爷爷求助是因为他无法找出谁是他真正的朋友。故选D项。 2．细节理解题。根据第五段中“This time he sat, hovering in mid-air…(这次他坐着，悬浮在半空中)”和第六段中“Looking around, Mario saw George, Lucas and Diana — three of his best friends, holding him up, so he wouldn’t fall down. (Mario环顾四周，看到George、Lucas和Diana——他最好的三个朋友，支撑着他，这样他就不会摔倒)”可知，Mario能悬浮在空中是因为他的三个好朋友用手把他托住了。故选B项。 3．细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Leaving with his three friends, he explained to them how his grandpa had so cleverly thought of a way to show him that true friends are those who care about us, and not just any acquaintance who happens to be passing by. (和他的三个朋友一起离开时，他向他们解释了他的爷爷是如何聪明地想出了一个方法来告诉他，真正的朋友是那些关心我们的人，而不仅仅是碰巧路过的熟人)”可知，真正的朋友是那些在我们遇到困难时关心我们的人。故选C项。 4．推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是第六段中“Looking around, Mario saw George, Lucas and Diana — three of his best friends, holding him up, so he wouldn’t fall down. (Mario环顾四周，看到George、Lucas和Diana——他最好的三个朋友，支撑着他，这样他就不会摔倒)”可知，Mario通过爷爷的方法找到了真正的朋友，有George、Lucas和Diana这三个真正关心他的朋友，所以他最后应该是开心的。故选A项。 （23-24高一下·四川眉山·期中）A man from British has learned skills needed to perform Beijing Opera, making the audience enjoy his lively performance of the Monkey King.

Everything seemed to work against me. My life felt stuck. So I decided to run. It was my natural response. I just wanted to get away. I put on my shoes and started running — by the time I came back, I knew I was  awere of  something. I’ve always exercised since I was little. I’ve practiced different sports — I tried surfing, tennis, yoga and cycling. But I never got excited about those things. So I did what most people do when they don’t want to get fat — go to the gym. In a way, going to the gym is lazy. You get in the gym, do some light exercise while you have a chat with a friend or someone you know from the gym. This year I started to run again. It was a cold January day, and I only ran for 3 miles in a time that I am too ashamed  to mention. But my time is not what’s important — during that run I finally got it and I knew it would be better if I kept running. My life has improved at the same rate that my running stamina (耐力) has improved. But running has the most impact on my productivity, mood , creativity, and overall lifestyle. Scientific research backs all of this. Dr. John Ratey in his book Spark says: if you have an important afternoon brainstorming meeting scheduled, going for a short run during lunchtime is a smart idea. Every time life became difficult I would give up. When I wanted to travel the world after college, I decided that I did not have money — so I told myself I should save money. Years passed, and that round-the-world trip never happened. Now, when life is difficult, my response is different — I love the struggle instead of shying away from it. I owe (把……归功于) this to running. 1．In the author’s opinion, working out at a gym can _____. A．be a waste of money B．be a lazy way of exercising C．help one lose weight in a set time D．provide an opportunity to make friends 2．How did the author feel after his first run this year? A．Cold. B．Proud. C．Regretful. D．Confident. 3．What does the underlined word “backs” mean in paragraph 5? A．Supports. B．Improves. C．Changes. D．Needs. 4．What has the author learned from running? A．Never stop trying. B．Hard work pays off. C．Rise to the challenge. D．Learn to walk before you run. 【答案】1．B 2．D 3．A 4．C 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者通过跑步改变了自己的生活态度，从逃避困难到勇敢面对挑战，并将这种改变归功于跑步带来的积极影响。 1．细节理解题。根据第三段“So I did what most people do when they don’t want to get fat — go to the gym. In a way, going to the gym is lazy.(所以我做了大多数人不想变胖时所做的事——去健身房。在某种程度上，去健身房是懒惰的表现)”可知，在作者看来，在健身房锻炼是一种懒惰的锻炼方式。故选B项。 2．推理判断题。根据第四段“This year I started to run again. It was a cold January day, and I only ran for 3 miles in a time that I am too ashamed   to mention. But my time is not what’s important — during that run I finally got it and I knew it would be better if I kept running.(今年我又开始跑步了。那是一个寒冷的一月天，我只跑了3英里，而且用时之长让我羞于启齿。但我的用时并不重要——在那次跑步中，我终于明白了，我知道如果坚持跑下去，情况会更好)”可知，跑完之后，作者知道如果坚持跑下去，情况会更好，所以是变得自信了。故选D项。 3．词句猜测题。根据前文“But running has the most impact on my productivity, mood , creativity, and overall lifestyle.(但跑步对我的工作效率、情绪、创造力和整体生活方式影响最大)”以及后文“Dr. John Ratey in his book Spark says: if you have an important afternoon brainstorming meeting scheduled, going for a short run during lunchtime is a smart idea.(John Ratey博士在他的书《火花》中说：如果你下午有一个重要的头脑风暴会议，在午餐时间跑一会儿是个聪明的主意)”可知，作者认为跑步对他的工作效率、情绪、创造力和整体生活方式影响最大，而这是由科学根据的，所以应是科学研究支持这一切。由此推知，划线词backs应是“支持”之意，和A项意思相近。故选A项。 4．细节理解题。根据最后一段“Every time life became difficult I would give up. When I wanted to travel the world after college, I decided that I did not have money — so I told myself I should save money. Years passed, and that round-the-world trip never happened. Now, when life is difficult, my response is different — I love the struggle instead of shying away from it. I owe (把……归功于) this to running.(每当生活变得困难时，我都会选择放弃。大学毕业后，当我想环游世界时，我觉得自己没有钱——所以我告诉自己应该存钱。几年过去了，那次环游世界的旅行从未成行。现在，当生活遇到困难时，我的反应不同了——我热爱挑战，而不是逃避它。我把这一切归功于跑步)”可知，作者从跑步中学到了迎接挑战。故选C项。 （23-24高一下·江苏扬州·期中）You might have come across some wildlife animals hiding in your backyard if you live near a deep forest, but nothing beats the surprise this woman got when she found three baby deer hiding in her house to wait out the storm.

It may mean starting out one’s life with debt. This is exactly what college basketball star Anthony Leal did not want for his beloved sister. Anthony Leal, smart and athletic, is a business major at Indiana University and plays as a point guard(篮球后卫) for the Indiana Hoosiers. When he found out that his sister had a huge amount to pay in student loans, he thought of taking advantage of the benefits he could get from playing basketball. In 2021, NCAA allowed college athletes like Leal to earn promotional(推广的；宣传的) money through photograph signing, social media interactions, advertising campaigns, and even teaching camps and lessons. Thanks to it, Leal was able to save money and helped take off the burden on his sister’s shoulders. On Christmas day, he surprised his sister Lauren by letting her know what he’s been up to in the past two years. Lauren was very emotional after reading her brother’s heartwarming note. “There is no doubt that I have made it to where I am today because of you,” Leal wrote. “Someone like you deserves no burdens or restrictions in life, and I feel that the best way to help with that is by paying off your student loan debt.” Besides looking back on several precious moments in their childhood, Leal also mentioned in the note that he didn’t expect his sister to pay back the money.

They were bright, enthusiastic and as eager to enjoy life as other children. All, however, had a serious disability. Three were in wheelchairs, one was nearly blind and two were able to walk with difficulty. Matthew was one of them. He had cerebral palsy (脑瘫). His hands and arms were both deformed (变得畸形). His back was bent and his legs did not work. To speak, Matthew had the help of a letter board. Slowly, he would point out with his hands, letter by letter, what he wanted to say. Sometimes he would try to talk. Yet he was always bright and cheerful and loved to try everything his classmates were doing, both in the boat and in the classroom. One day the sailing centre was attacked by a storm. We decided to work in a classroom. All the children joined in. Just like other children, they all wanted to answer the questions I asked. But when Mattew wnted to answer a question, all of a sudden they all kept silent. Matthew whispered and pointed slowly at the letter board. They waited quietly. Matthew struggled with great effort until the answer was spelled out. When I did not understand, one of the other children would work with him until the answer was clear. Disabled as they were, these children learned to offer care, respect and help to someone less lucky than themselves. I always thought I was the one who learned the greatest lesson. 1．From the passage, we learn that the author was a ______ about ten years ago. A．sailor B．teacher C．guide D．doctor 2．Matthew loved to try what his classmates were doing when ______. A．staying in the boat or in the classroom B．suffering a lot from his disease C．writing on a letter board D．working with his legs 3．What happened at the sailing centre one day?

I also think my work is important. There was a time when I thought I would never have that sort of career. I wasn’t an excellent student, because I didn’t do much schoolwork. In my final term, I started thinking what I might do and found I didn’t have much to offer. I just accepted that I wasn’t the type to have a career. I then found myself a job, looking after two little girls. It wasn’t too bad at first. But the problems began when I agreed to live in, so that I would be there if my boss had to go out for business in the evening. We agreed that if I had to work extra hours one week, she’d give me time off the next. But unfortunately, it didn’t often work out. I was getting extremely tired and fed up, because I had too many late nights and early mornings with the children. One Sunday, I was in the park with the children, and met Megan who used to go to school with me. I told her about my situation. She suggested that I should do a course and get a qualification (资格证书) if I wanted to work with children. I didn’t think I would be accepted, because I didn’t take many exams in school. She persuaded me to phone the local college and they were really helpful. My experience counted for a lot and I got on a part-time course. I had to leave my job with the family, and got work helping out at a kindergarten. Now I’ve got a full-time job there. I shall always be thankful to Megan. I wish I had known earlier that you could have a career, even if you aren’t top of the class at school. 1．What is the author’s present job? A．Working part-time in a college. B．Taking care of children for a family. C．Helping children with their schoolwork. D．Looking after children at a kindergarten. 2．Why did the author leave her first job? A．She found a full-time job.

C．Hard work makes an excellent student. D．One must choose the job he likes. 【答案】1．D 2．C 3．A 4．A 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要介绍了作者找到适合自己的工作的经历。 1．推理判断题。根据第一段中的“I really love my job because I enjoy working with small children and like the challenges and awards from the job.(我真的很喜欢我的工作，因为我喜欢做儿童工作，喜欢工作带来的挑战和奖励。)”、第四段中的“I had to leave my job with the family, and got work helping out at a kindergarten.(我不得不辞去在那一家的工作，在幼儿园找了份帮忙的工作。)”和最后一段中的“Now I’ve got a full-time job there.(现在我在那里有一份全职工作。)”可知，现在作者在幼儿园有了一份全职工作，她和小孩子打交道，由此可推测，她现在在幼儿园照顾小孩子。故选D。 2．细节理解题。根据第四段中的“My experience counted for a lot and I got on a part-time course. I had to leave my job with the family, and got work helping out at a kindergarten.(我的经验很重要，我上了一门兼读课程。我不得不辞去在那一家的工作，在幼儿园找了份帮忙的工作。)”可知，由于作者要上兼读课程，所以辞去了第一份工作。故选C。 3．细节理解题。根据第三段中的“I then found myself a job, looking after two little girls.(然后我找到了一份工作，照顾两个小女孩。)”和“We agreed that if I had to work extra hours one week, she’d give me time off the next. But unfortunately, it didn’t often work out.(我们约定，如果我一周必须加班，她下一周会给我休假。但不幸的是，它并不经常奏效。)”可知，作者曾在一个家里照顾两个女孩子，这份工作经常让作者加班，所以B项和C项陈述正确；根据第四段中的“One Sunday, I was in the park with the children, and met Megan who used to go to school with me.(一个星期天，我和孩子们在公园里，遇到了曾经和我一起上学的梅根。)”可知，作者和梅根是在公园见面的，所以D项陈述正确。根据第四段中的“I had to leave my job with the family, and got work helping out at a kindergarten.(我不得不辞去在那一家的工作，在幼儿园找了份帮忙的工作。)”可知，文章中提到作者在幼儿园找到了一份兼职的工作，但并没有指出是梅根帮助作者的，所以A项错误。故选A。 4．推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“I wish I had known earlier that you could have a career, even if you aren’t top of the class at school.(我希望我早点知道，即使你在学校不是班上的尖子生，你也可以有一份事业。)”并结合作者的经历可推测出，作者在学校并不是一个优秀的学生，但她最后依然找到了自己喜欢的工作，所以不那么成功的学生依然可以拥有一份事业。故选A。 （23-24高一下·黑龙江哈尔滨·期中）I was the only kid in college with a reason to go to the mail box, because my mother never believed in email, in Facebook, in texting or cell phones. I was literally waiting by the mailbox to get a letter with a warmest comfort from her. So when I moved to New York and got depressed, I did the only thing I could think of. I wrote those same kinds of letters like my mother for strangers, and tucked them all over the city: in cafes, in libraries, and even in the subway. I blogged about those letters and promised if asked for a hand-written letter, I would write one. Overnight, my inbox became this harbor of heartbreak — a single mother in Sacramento, a girl being bullied in Kansas, a 22-year-old immigrant, all asking me to write them and give them a reason to wait by the mailbox. And this is how I initiated the act The World Needs More Love Letters. Today I run a global organization fueled by those trips to the mailbox. It is a miracle. But the thing about these letters is that most of them have been written by people brought up in a paperless world where some best conversations happen on a screen. We have learned to diary our pain onto Facebook, and we speak swiftly in twitter. Therefore, I’ve been carrying this mail crate (大木箱) with me these days, which is a magical icebreaker. So I get to tell total strangers about a woman whose husband was traumatized (受精神创伤) from war, and how she left love letters throughout the house saying, “Come back to me.” And a man, who had decided to take his life, slept safely with a stack of letters just beneath his pillow, handwritten by strangers who were there for him. These stories convince me that letter-writing will never need to be about efficiency, because it is an art now, all of it: the signing, the scripting, the mailing. 1．Why did the author share her experience in college? A．To show her care for her family. B．To prove her habit of writing letters. C．To express her feelings attached to letters. D．To present her love for writing letters. 2．What caused the author to start the act? A．She advocated the paperless lifestyle. B．She intended to provide professional aid. C．She tried to improve her communication skills. D．She aimed to give emotional support with letters. 3．Why does the author call the mail crate “a magical icebreaker”? A．It has magic power to melt ice. B．It inspires people to be brave. C．It makes people’s mental diseases go away. D．It serves as a conversation starter. 4．What is the best title for the passage? A．Family Letters Are Priceless B．Love for Writing Never Lessens C．World Needs More Love Letters D．Hand-written Letters Improve Efficiency 【答案】1．C 2．D 3．D 4．C 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者因为妈妈不使用现代通讯工具而喜欢手写信，后来通过手写信给陌生人提供情感支持，并发起了“世界需要更多爱的信件”的活动。 1．推理判断题。根据第一段“I was the only kid in college with a reason to go to the mail box, because my mother never believed in email, in Facebook, in texting or cell phones. I was literally waiting by the mailbox to get a letter with a warmest comfort from her.(我是大学里唯一一个有理由去邮箱取信的孩子，因为我母亲从来不相信电子邮件、Facebook、短信或手机。我真的是在信箱旁等着收到一封她给我最温暖的安慰的信。)”和第二段第一句“So when I moved to New York and got depressed, I did the only thing I could think of.(所以当我搬到纽约感到沮丧时，我做了我唯一能想到的事。)”可知，作者分享给她在大学时期的经历是为了表达她对信件的深刻情结。故选C。 2．细节理解题。根据第三段“Overnight, my inbox became this harbor of heartbreak — a single mother in Sacramento, a girl being bullied in Kansas, a 22-year-old immigrant, all asking me to write them and give them a reason to wait by the mailbox. And this is how I initiated the act The World Needs More Love Letters.(一夜之间，我的收件箱变成了心碎的港湾——萨克拉门托的单身母亲，堪萨斯被欺负的女孩，一个22岁的移民，都让我给他们写信，给他们一个在邮箱旁等待的理由。这就是我发起“世界需要更多爱的信件”行动的原因。)”可知，作者发起这项行动是为了通过写信给予情感上的支持。故选D。 3．推理判断题。根据第五段第二句“So I get to tell total strangers about a woman whose husband was traumatized (受精神创伤) from war, and how she left love letters throughout the house saying, “Come back to me.”(于是我开始给陌生人讲述一个女人的故事，她的丈夫在战争中受到了创伤，她如何在家里到处留下爱的信件，说：“回到我身边来。”)”可知，作者称邮件箱为“神奇的破冰器”是因为它可以作为谈话的开场白。故选D。 4．主旨大意题。文章讲述了作者因为妈妈不使用现代通讯工具而喜欢手写信，后来通过手写信给陌生人提供情感支持，并发起了“世界需要更多爱的信件”的活动。因此，最好的标题是C项：World Needs More Love Letters (世界需要更多情书)。故选C。 （23-24高一下·重庆璧山·期中）In 2016, Mark Raymond learned the hard way that life can change in a split second. One day, Raymond went boating with his friends. He jumped off the back of the boat and hit a sandbank, leading to a severe injury to his neck. He became paralyzed and spent months in the hospital receiving treatment. When he was allowed to leave the hospital, he realized that the hard part was just beginning. He still needed to exercise to recover his strength after finishing the outpatient (门诊) treatment. However, when Raymond returned home, he realized there was a serious lack of accessible gyms or facilities that could help people with different abilities work out and improve their health in his community. The lack of them caused Raymond to take action. In 2018, he established the Split Second Foundation, a non-profit organization that provides treatment that takes up from where outpatient treatment left off. “The Split Second Foundation has equipment for people who have different disabling conditions,” Raymond explained. “Our specially trained staff will evaluate disabled customers’ physical needs and limitations and then provide recovery, education, and ongoing fitness classes suitable for them. We’re able to push them in a recovery driven fitness environment to be their best selves.” Raymond’s goal is to open more accessible gyms, not just in New Orleans where he lives. He hopes the Split Second Foundation can help even more people get their lives back after disastrous accidents. “People with disabilities should also be thought of as productive members of society,” said Raymond. “Anybody’s life can change in an instant due to some kind of injury or disabling condition, and we are providing what’s next.” When Raymond couldn’t find the services he needed, he made some for himself and others. This is the sort of cleverness we love to see in the world. 1．What does the underlined word “paralyzed” in Paragraph 1 mean? A．Physically disabled. B．Mentally disordered. C．Seriously ill. D．Extremely frustrated. 2．What inspired Mark Raymond to set up the Split Second Foundation? A．His love for a variety of sports. B．His dream of becoming a businessman. C．A boating accident that happened to his friend. D．A lack of accessible exercise resources in his community. 3．What can we know about the Split Second Foundation? A．It provides treatment by cooperating with hospitals. B．It focuses on holding basic classes for poor children. C．It offers fitness and recovery services to the disabled. D．It creates plenty of job opportunities for disabled people. 4．Which of the following is the best title for the text? A．Mark Raymond’s Journey from Paralysis to Recovery B．Mark Raymond: Help the Disabled Rebuild Their Lives C．The Importance of Accessible Gyms for Disabled People D．Split Second Foundation: Offer Patients Treatment 【答案】1．A 2．D 3．C 4．B 【导语】本文为一篇记叙文，讲述了遭到意外事故的Mark Raymond在恢复时，看到社区严重缺乏无障碍健身房或设施，成立“ Split Second Foundation”帮助残疾人重建生活的故事。 1．词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“He jumped off the back of the boat and hit a sandbank, leading to a severe injury to his neck.(他从船尾跳下去，撞上了沙洲，脖子受了重伤)”以及后文“He still needed to exercise to recover his strength after finishing the outpatient (门诊) treatment.(在门诊治疗结束后，他仍然需要锻炼来恢复体力)”可知，他脖子受了重伤，身体残疾了，出院后仍然需要锻炼来恢复体力。故划线词意思是“身体残疾的”。故选A。 2．细节理解题。根据第二段“However, when Raymond returned home, he realized there was a serious lack of accessible gyms or facilities that could help people with different abilities work out and improve their health in his community. The lack of them caused Raymond to take action. In 2018, he established the Split Second Foundation, a non-profit organization that provides treatment that takes up from where outpatient treatment left off.(然而，当雷蒙德回到家时，他意识到在他的社区里，严重缺乏可以帮助不同能力的人锻炼和改善健康状况的无障碍健身房或设施。它们的缺乏促使雷蒙德采取了行动。2018年，他成立了“ Split Second Foundation”，这是一个非营利组织，提供门诊治疗中断后的治疗)”可知，Raymond看到所在社区缺乏可获得的锻炼资源，因此建立了“ Split Second Foundation”。故选D。 3．细节理解题。根据第三段““The Split Second Foundation has equipment for people who have different disabling conditions,” Raymond explained.“Our specially trained staff will evaluate disabled customers’ physical needs and limitations and then provide recovery, education, and ongoing fitness classes suitable for them.

At 5, she learned to speak English. But she didn’t know how to read and write — let alone how to fit in at school or communicate with classmates. Mrs. Lewis, Chanthaphone’s second-grade teacher, changed everything. She taught her students that it was OK if they did not know English and it was all right for them to use words in their home language to explain how they were feeling and thinking. Chanthaphone got more and more confidence and wanted to do what her teacher did in the future. Now, at 26, Chanthaphone is an English teacher at Fort Worth ISDs William Monnig Middle School. Like Mrs. Lewis, Chanthaphone aims to help her non-English-speaking students to gain the confidence they need to realize their potential (潜力) in life. At the beginning of each school year, Chanthaphone shares her story with her new classes. She tells them she knows what it feels like not to want to participate in class or raise her hand. She reminds them that she once sat in their seat and felt different because of her upbringing. But she stresses that's what makes each of them special. Her students, though, are usually not persuaded. She has to take out photos of her graduating college and tell them about her parents and what her school was like. Then it finally clicks. In the classroom, Chanthaphone allows students to communicate in whichever way they feel most comfortable. For some, it may be raising their hands and voicing their thoughts. For others, it may be writing their thoughts on a piece of paper and handing it to Chanthaphone. However, Chanthaphone does encourage her students to go out of their comfort zone. She wants them to work with students they don't know because teamwork and collaboration (协作) with unfamiliar people is important. “I’ve always wanted to be the teacher who supported students and advocated for them in and outside of classroom,” Chanthaphone said. “When I get notes or see Facebook posts from parents talking about previous teachers, including me, I feel like my goal has been completed.” 1．What do you know about Mrs. Lewis? A．She is inspiring. B．She is ambitious. C．She is knowledgeable. D．She is demanding. 2．Why does Chanthaphone tell her schooling experience to her new students? A．To push the students to voice their thoughts. B．To make herself well known to her students. C．To make a good beginning of her class. D．To encourage her students to be confident. 3．What does Chanthaphone focus on in the classroom? A．Students’ strong curiosity. B．Students’ mental health. C．Students’ communicating ability. D．Students’ unique talent. 4．What can be the best title for the text? A．You Are the Only One B．I Was Once Like You C．No One Can Say No to You D．Hard Work Pays Off 【答案】1．A 2．D 3．C 4．B 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要说明了Chanthaphone是移民的女儿，5岁时，她学会了说英语。但她不知道如何读和写，更不用说如何融入学校或与同学交流了。但是在路易斯夫人的鼓励下，Chanthaphone越来越有信心，并且将路易斯夫人对自己的鼓励带给了自己的学生。 1．推理判断题。根据第一段中“Mrs. Lewis, Chanthaphone’s second-grade teacher, changed everything. She taught her students that it was OK if they did not know English and it was all right for them to use words in their home language to explain how they were feeling and thinking. Chanthaphone got more and more confidence and wanted to do what her teacher did in the future.(路易斯夫人，Chanthaphone的二年级老师，改变了一切。她教导她的学生，如果他们不懂英语也没关系，他们可以用母语的单词来解释他们的感受或想法。Chanthaphone越来越有信心，想在将来做她的老师做的事情)”可推知，路易斯夫人很鼓舞人心。故选A。 2．细节理解题。根据第二段中“Like Mrs. Lewis, Chanthaphone aims to help her non-English-speaking students to gain the confidence they need to realize their potential (潜力) in life.(像Lewis夫人一样，Chanthaphone的目标是帮助她的非英语学生获得他们在生活中发挥潜力所需要的信心)”以及第三段中“At the beginning of each school year, Chanthaphone shares her story with her new classes. She tells them she knows what it feels like not to want to participate in class or raise her hand.(在每个学年开始的时候，Chanthaphone会向她的新班级讲述她的故事。她告诉他们，她知道不想上课或不想举手是什么感觉)”可知，Chanthaphone把她的求学经历告诉她的新学生是为了鼓励她的学生要自信。故选D。 3．细节理解题。根据倒数第三段“In the classroom, Chanthaphone allows students to communicate in whichever way they feel most comfortable. For some, it may be raising their hands and voicing their thoughts. For others, it may be writing their thoughts on a piece of paper and handing it to Chanthaphone.(在课堂上，Chanthaphone允许学生以他们觉得最舒适的方式进行交流。对一些人来说，这可能是举起他们的手，说出他们的想法。对另一些人来说，它可能是把他们的想法写在一张纸上，然后交给Chanthaphone)”可知，在课堂上，Chanthaphone关注的是学生的沟通能力。故选C。 4．主旨大意题。根据第三段“At the beginning of each school year, Chanthaphone shares her story with her new classes. She tells them she knows what it feels like not to want to participate in class or raise her hand. She reminds them that she once sat in their seat and felt different because of her upbringing. But she stresses that's what makes each of them special.(在每个学年开始的时候，Chanthaphone会向她的新班级讲述她的故事。她告诉他们，她知道不想上课或不想举手是什么感觉。她提醒他们，她曾经坐在他们的座位上，因为她的成长经历而感到与众不同。但她强调，这是他们每个人的特别之处)”结合文章主要说明了Chanthaphone是移民的女儿，5岁时，她学会了说英语。但她不知道如何读和写，更不用说如何融入学校或与同学交流了。但是在路易斯夫人的鼓励下，Chanthaphone越来越有信心，并且将路易斯夫人对自己的鼓励带给了自己的学生。由此可知，B选项“我也曾经像你一样”适合作文章最佳标题。故选B。 重难语篇拔高练 （23-24高一下·河南郑州·期中）Born in Ayrshire, in 1759 to William Burness, a poor farmer, Robert Burns was the eldest of seven children. He spent his youth working on his father’s farm, but in spite of being poor he also read a lot. His father employed a teacher for Robert and his younger brother Gilbert. At l5 Robert was the principal worker on the farm and this encouraged him to start writing. It was at this age that Robert wrote his first poem Handsome Nell. When his father died in 1784, Robert and his brother became partners on the farm. However,  Robert was more interested in the romantic nature of poetry than the hard work of farming. However, at the point of giving up farming, his first collection Poems, Chiefly in the Scottish Dialect was published and received much praise from critics. This, together with pride of being a parent, made him stay in Scotland. He moved around the country, finally arriving in Edinburgh, where he joined the circles of the artists and writers who were called the “Ploughman Poet”. In a matter of weeks he was changed from a local hero to a national celebrity (名人). The fame did not bring a fortune and he took up a job to make additions to the low income. While working he continued to write, contributing songs to the likes of James Johnson’s Scots Musical  Museum and George Thomson’s A Select Collection of Original Scottish Airs for the voice. In all, more than 400 of Robert’s songs are still in existence. The last years of Robert’s life were devoted to writing great poetic masterpieces such as The Lea Rig, Tam o’Shanter and A Red, Red Rose. At the age of 37, he died of heart disease caused by the hard physical work he did when he was young. On the day of his burial tens of thousands of people came to watch and pay their respect. However, his popularity then was nothing compared to the heights it has reached since. On the anniversary (周年纪念) of his birth, Scots both at home and abroad celebrate Robert Burns with a supper — a celebration which would undoubtedly make him proud. 1．What can we learn about the childhood of Robert Burns? A．He was born to a rich family. B．He was lucky to receive education. C．He worked in a factory at an early age. D．He was taught by his parents and brothers. 2．What was people’s response to his first collection? A．Ctitical. B．Doubtful. C．Favourable. D．Uncaring. 3．What did Robert Burns do after becoming famous? A．He went on writing while working. B．He helped other writers create poems. C．He moved abroad and lived a hard life. D．He became the richest writer in Scotland. 4．What does the text mainly talk about? A．The history of Scottish poetry. B．The life story of a Scottish poet. C．The development of English arts.

My mother, Gina, an immigrant (移民) from Calabria, held onto so many of her family’s traditions that at times, in spite of the fact that I was living in the United States, our home felt like part of Italy. To this day, my mother only speaks to me in Italian, and our conversations are, for the most part, in her mother tongue. And most of those conversations are about food. For us, Italian food is an important part of our lives. My mom grew up on a farm where the fruits of their labor directly turned into the food on the table, and wasting any of it was unacceptable. Every day was “Thanksgiving” because times were tough, so how food found its way onto the table was a holy (神圣的) matter. One of the greatest lessons my mother taught me in the kitchen is to cook what you have on hand, and to never let anything go to waste. So, when I take a perfect little arancini (意大利饭团) out of the hot oil, I am immediately transported back to my childhood. I am a little girl getting off the bus and running through the back door to the smell of the food. This small snack emblematizes so many important parts in my life about my heritage through food. Heritage food is Sunday dinner with the family. When we recreate dishes like that, we feel a sense of pride and also a sense of continuity. Heritage food is the love we receive from our parents and grandparents, and it’s the love we in turn give to our children and grandchildren. Heritage food is food that makes you feel safe and protected wherever and whenever you eat it. Eating arancini, and all the other recipes my mother continues to make here in the U.S. after leaving Italy, allows her to teach me who I am, where I come from, and why I should be proud of it all. 1．What can we learn about the author’s mother? A．She is very tough on her children. B．She refuses to learn to speak English. C．She thinks her life in the U.S. special. D．She values her family’s traditions a lot. 2．What does the author imply by mentioning “Thanksgiving”? A．She enjoyed the food her mother prepared. B．This holiday was very important for her mother. C．Her family treasured the food that didn’t come easy. D．The food was delivered to her family on Thanksgiving. 3．What does the underlined word “emblematizes” mean in Paragraph 4? A．Symbolizes. B．Balances. C．Judges. D．Replaces. 4．What’s the main idea of the text? A．How childhood experiences change one’s life. B．Why learning to cook is important for a mother. C．How the family heritage is taught through food. D．Why mothers are necessary in children’s education. 【答案】1．D 2．C 3．A 4．C 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述的是在一个作者的家庭中，传统食物——特别是意大利菜——作为文化传承和家庭纽带的重要性 1．细节理解题。根据第一段中的“My mother, Gina, an immigrant (移民) from Calabria, held onto so many of her family’s traditions that at times, in spite of the fact that I was living in the United States, our home felt like part of Italy.(我的母亲Gina是来自Calabria的移民，她保留了许多家族的传统，以至于有时，尽管我住在美国，但我们的家感觉就像意大利的一部分。)”可知，作者的母亲非常重视家庭传统，故选D。 2．推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Every day was “Thanksgiving” because times were tough, so how food found its way onto the table was a holy (神圣的) matter. One of the greatest lessons my mother taught me in the kitchen is to cook what you have on hand, and to never let anything go to waste.(每天都是“感恩节”，因为时局艰难，所以食物如何出现在餐桌上是一件神圣的事情。我母亲在厨房教给我的最重要的一课是，做你手头上有什么就做什么，永远不要浪费任何东西。)”可知，作者提到感恩节是为了表明她的家人珍惜来之不易的食物，故选C。 3．词句猜测题。根据第四段“So, when I take a perfect little arancini (意大利饭团) out of the hot oil, I am immediately transported back to my childhood.(所以，当我从热油中取出一个完美的意大利饭团时，我立刻回到了我的童年。)”，“This small snack(这个小点心)”和“so many important parts in my life about my heritage(我生活中许多重要的部分，通过食物来传承我的传统)”可知，这个点心象征着作者生活中许多重要的部分，划线词emblematizes的意思是“象征”，和symbolizes意思相近。故选A。 4．主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是倒数第二段“Heritage food is Sunday dinner with the family. When we recreate dishes like that, we feel a sense of pride and also a sense of continuity. Heritage food is the love we receive from our parents and grandparents, and it’s the love we in turn give to our children and grandchildren. Heritage food is food that makes you feel safe and protected wherever and whenever you eat it.(传统食物是周日与家人共进晚餐。当我们重新制作这样的菜肴时，我们感到一种自豪感，也感到一种连续性。传统食物是我们从父母和祖父母那里得到的爱，也是我们给子孙后代的爱。传统食物是让你无论何时何地吃它都感到安全和受到保护的食物。)”可知，本文主要讲述的是在作者的家庭中，传统食物——特别是意大利菜——作为文化传承和家庭纽带的重要性，因此本文的主旨是C选项“How the family heritage is taught through food.(如何通过食物来传授家族传统。)”。故选C。 （23-24高一下·广东广州·期中）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(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. 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?

My life felt stuck. So I decided to run. It was my natural response. I just wanted to get away. I put on my shoes and started running — by the time I came back, I knew I was  awere of  something. I’ve always exercised since I was little. I’ve practiced different sports — I tried surfing, tennis, yoga and cycling. But I never got excited about those things. So I did what most people do when they don’t want to get fat — go to the gym. In a way, going to the gym is lazy. You get in the gym, do some light exercise while you have a chat with a friend or someone you know from the gym. This year I started to run again. It was a cold January day, and I only ran for 3 miles in a time that I am too ashamed  to mention. But my time is not what’s important — during that run I finally got it and I knew it would be better if I kept running. My life has improved at the same rate that my running stamina (耐力) has improved. But running has the most impact on my productivity, mood , creativity, and overall lifestyle. Scientific research backs all of this. Dr. John Ratey in his book Spark says: if you have an important afternoon brainstorming meeting scheduled, going for a short run during lunchtime is a smart idea. Every time life became difficult I would give up. When I wanted to travel the world after college, I decided that I did not have money — so I told myself I should save money. Years passed, and that round-the-world trip never happened. Now, when life is difficult, my response is different — I love the struggle instead of shying away from it.

They were bright, enthusiastic and as eager to enjoy life as other children. All, however, had a serious disability. Three were in wheelchairs, one was nearly blind and two were able to walk with difficulty. Matthew was one of them. He had cerebral palsy (脑瘫). His hands and arms were both deformed (变得畸形). His back was bent and his legs did not work. To speak, Matthew had the help of a letter board. Slowly, he would point out with his hands, letter by letter, what he wanted to say. Sometimes he would try to talk. Yet he was always bright and cheerful and loved to try everything his classmates were doing, both in the boat and in the classroom. One day the sailing centre was attacked by a storm. We decided to work in a classroom. All the children joined in. Just like other children, they all wanted to answer the questions I asked. But when Mattew wnted to answer a question, all of a sudden they all kept silent. Matthew whispered and pointed slowly at the letter board. They waited quietly. Matthew struggled with great effort until the answer was spelled out. When I did not understand, one of the other children would work with him until the answer was clear.

I also think my work is important. There was a time when I thought I would never have that sort of career. I wasn’t an excellent student, because I didn’t do much schoolwork. In my final term, I started thinking what I might do and found I didn’t have much to offer. I just accepted that I wasn’t the type to have a career. I then found myself a job, looking after two little girls. It wasn’t too bad at first. But the problems began when I agreed to live in, so that I would be there if my boss had to go out for business in the evening. We agreed that if I had to work extra hours one week, she’d give me time off the next. But unfortunately, it didn’t often work out. I was getting extremely tired and fed up, because I had too many late nights and early mornings with the children. One Sunday, I was in the park with the children, and met Megan who used to go to school with me. I told her about my situation. She suggested that I should do a course and get a qualification (资格证书) if I wanted to work with children. I didn’t think I would be accepted, because I didn’t take many exams in school.

I was literally waiting by the mailbox to get a letter with a warmest comfort from her. So when I moved to New York and got depressed, I did the only thing I could think of. I wrote those same kinds of letters like my mother for strangers, and tucked them all over the city: in cafes, in libraries, and even in the subway. I blogged about those letters and promised if asked for a hand-written letter, I would write one. Overnight, my inbox became this harbor of heartbreak — a single mother in Sacramento, a girl being bullied in Kansas, a 22-year-old immigrant, all asking me to write them and give them a reason to wait by the mailbox. And this is how I initiated the act The World Needs More Love Letters. Today I run a global organization fueled by those trips to the mailbox. It is a miracle. But the thing about these letters is that most of them have been written by people brought up in a paperless world where some best conversations happen on a screen. We have learned to diary our pain onto Facebook, and we speak swiftly in twitter. Therefore, I’ve been carrying this mail crate (大木箱) with me these days, which is a magical icebreaker. So I get to tell total strangers about a woman whose husband was traumatized (受精神创伤) from war, and how she left love letters throughout the house saying, “Come back to me.” And a man, who had decided to take his life, slept safely with a stack of letters just beneath his pillow, handwritten by strangers who were there for him. These stories convince me that letter-writing will never need to be about efficiency, because it is an art now, all of it: the signing, the scripting, the mailing. 1．Why did the author share her experience in college? A．To show her care for her family. B．To prove her habit of writing letters. C．To express her feelings attached to letters. D．To present her love for writing letters. 2．What caused the author to start the act? A．She advocated the paperless lifestyle. B．She intended to provide professional aid. C．She tried to improve her communication skills. D．She aimed to give emotional support with letters. 3．Why does the author call the mail crate “a magical icebreaker”? A．It has magic power to melt ice. B．It inspires people to be brave. C．It makes people’s mental diseases go away. D．It serves as a conversation starter. 4．What is the best title for the passage? A．Family Letters Are Priceless B．Love for Writing Never Lessens C．World Needs More Love Letters D．Hand-written Letters Improve Efficiency （23-24高一下·重庆璧山·期中）In 2016, Mark Raymond learned the hard way that life can change in a split second. One day, Raymond went boating with his friends. He jumped off the back of the boat and hit a sandbank, leading to a severe injury to his neck. He became paralyzed and spent months in the hospital receiving treatment. When he was allowed to leave the hospital, he realized that the hard part was just beginning. He still needed to exercise to recover his strength after finishing the outpatient (门诊) treatment. However, when Raymond returned home, he realized there was a serious lack of accessible gyms or facilities that could help people with different abilities work out and improve their health in his community. The lack of them caused Raymond to take action. In 2018, he established the Split Second Foundation, a non-profit organization that provides treatment that takes up from where outpatient treatment left off. “The Split Second Foundation has equipment for people who have different disabling conditions,” Raymond explained. “Our specially trained staff will evaluate disabled customers’ physical needs and limitations and then provide recovery, education, and ongoing fitness classes suitable for them. We’re able to push them in a recovery driven fitness environment to be their best selves.” Raymond’s goal is to open more accessible gyms, not just in New Orleans where he lives. He hopes the Split Second Foundation can help even more people get their lives back after disastrous accidents. “People with disabilities should also be thought of as productive members of society,” said Raymond. “Anybody’s life can change in an instant due to some kind of injury or disabling condition, and we are providing what’s next.” When Raymond couldn’t find the services he needed, he made some for himself and others. This is the sort of cleverness we love to see in the world. 1．What does the underlined word “paralyzed” in Paragraph 1 mean? A．Physically disabled. B．Mentally disordered. C．Seriously ill. D．Extremely frustrated. 2．What inspired Mark Raymond to set up the Split Second Foundation? A．His love for a variety of sports. B．His dream of becoming a businessman.

At 5, she learned to speak English. But she didn’t know how to read and write — let alone how to fit in at school or communicate with classmates. Mrs. Lewis, Chanthaphone’s second-grade teacher, changed everything. She taught her students that it was OK if they did not know English and it was all right for them to use words in their home language to explain how they were feeling and thinking. Chanthaphone got more and more confidence and wanted to do what her teacher did in the future. Now, at 26, Chanthaphone is an English teacher at Fort Worth ISDs William Monnig Middle School. Like Mrs. Lewis, Chanthaphone aims to help her non-English-speaking students to gain the confidence they need to realize their potential (潜力) in life. At the beginning of each school year, Chanthaphone shares her story with her new classes. She tells them she knows what it feels like not to want to participate in class or raise her hand. She reminds them that she once sat in their seat and felt different because of her upbringing. But she stresses that's what makes each of them special. Her students, though, are usually not persuaded. She has to take out photos of her graduating college and tell them about her parents and what her school was like. Then it finally clicks. In the classroom, Chanthaphone allows students to communicate in whichever way they feel most comfortable. For some, it may be raising their hands and voicing their thoughts. For others, it may be writing their thoughts on a piece of paper and handing it to Chanthaphone. However, Chanthaphone does encourage her students to go out of their comfort zone. She wants them to work with students they don't know because teamwork and collaboration (协作) with unfamiliar people is important. “I’ve always wanted to be the teacher who supported students and advocated for them in and outside of classroom,” Chanthaphone said. “When I get notes or see Facebook posts from parents talking about previous teachers, including me, I feel like my goal has been completed.” 1．What do you know about Mrs. Lewis?

A．To push the students to voice their thoughts. B．To make herself well known to her students. C．To make a good beginning of her class.

He spent his youth working on his father’s farm, but in spite of being poor he also read a lot. His father employed a teacher for Robert and his younger brother Gilbert. At l5 Robert was the principal worker on the farm and this encouraged him to start writing. It was at this age that Robert wrote his first poem Handsome Nell. When his father died in 1784, Robert and his brother became partners on the farm. However,  Robert was more interested in the romantic nature of poetry than the hard work of farming. However, at the point of giving up farming, his first collection Poems, Chiefly in the Scottish Dialect was published and received much praise from critics. This, together with pride of being a parent, made him stay in Scotland. He moved around the country, finally arriving in Edinburgh, where he joined the circles of the artists and writers who were called the “Ploughman Poet”. In a matter of weeks he was changed from a local hero to a national celebrity (名人). The fame did not bring a fortune and he took up a job to make additions to the low income.

My mother, Gina, an immigrant (移民) from Calabria, held onto so many of her family’s traditions that at times, in spite of the fact that I was living in the United States, our home felt like part of Italy. To this day, my mother only speaks to me in Italian, and our conversations are, for the most part, in her mother tongue. And most of those conversations are about food. For us, Italian food is an important part of our lives. My mom grew up on a farm where the fruits of their labor directly turned into the food on the table, and wasting any of it was unacceptable. Every day was “Thanksgiving” because times were tough, so how food found its way onto the table was a holy (神圣的) matter. One of the greatest lessons my mother taught me in the kitchen is to cook what you have on hand, and to never let anything go to waste. So, when I take a perfect little arancini (意大利饭团) out of the hot oil, I am immediately transported back to my childhood. I am a little girl getting off the bus and running through the back door to the smell of the food. This small snack emblematizes so many important parts in my life about my heritage through food. Heritage food is Sunday dinner with the family. When we recreate dishes like that, we feel a sense of pride and also a sense of continuity. Heritage food is the love we receive from our parents and grandparents, and it’s the love we in turn give to our children and grandchildren. Heritage food is food that makes you feel safe and protected wherever and whenever you eat it. Eating arancini, and all the other recipes my mother continues to make here in the U.S. after leaving Italy, allows her to teach me who I am, where I come from, and why I should be proud of it all. 1．What can we learn about the author’s mother?

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(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. 1．Many of Gershwin's musical works were ______.
