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.
4. 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
5. 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
6. 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
7 Which of the following best describes Gershwin?
A. Talented and productive. B. Serious and boring.
C. Popular and unhappy. D. Friendly and honest.

As Gregor Samsa awoke one morning from uneasy dreams he found himself transformed in his bed into a gigantic insect. He was lying on his hard, as it were armor-plated, back and when he lifted his head a little he could see his dome-like brown belly divided into stiff arched segments on top of which the bed quilt could hardly keep in position and was about to slide off completely. His numerous legs, which were pitifully thin compared to the rest of his body, waved helplessly before his eyes.
“What has happened to me?” he thought. It was no dream. His room, a regular human bedroom, only rather too small, lay quiet between the four familiar white walls. Above the table on which a collection of cloth samples was unpacked and spread out—Samsa was a commercial traveler—hung the picture which he had recently cut out of an illustrated magazine and put into a pretty golden frame. It showed a lady. Gregor’s eyes turned next to the window, and the overcast sky—one could hear rain drops beating on the window—made him quite melancholy (忧郁的). What about sleeping a little longer and forgetting all this nonsense, he thought, but it could not be done, for he was accustomed to sleep on his right side and in his present condition he could not turn himself over. However violently he forced himself towards his right side he always rolled on to his back again. He tried it at least a hundred times, shutting his eyes to keep from seeing his struggling legs, and only stopped when he began to feel in him a faint ache he had never experienced before.
He thought: “What an exhausting job I’ve picked on! ” Traveling about day in, day out. It’s much more boring work than doing the actual business in the office, and on top of that there’s the trouble of constant traveling, of worrying about train connections, the bed and irregular meals, casual acquaintances that are always new and never become intimate friends. The devil takes it all! He felt a slight itching up on his belly; slowly pushed himself on his back nearer to the top of the bed so that he could lift his head more easily; identified the itching place which was surrounded by many small white spots the nature of which he could not understand and made to touch it with a leg, but drew the leg back immediately, for the contact made a cold shiver run through him.(to be continued)
8. What might Gregor Samsa look like when he woke up?
A. A normal commercial traveler. B. Something ridiculous.
C. A huge insect with thick legs. D. A lady in the gift frame.
9. What can we know about Samsa’s room?
A. It was a regular room and tidy.
B. There was so window for him to look outside his tiny room.
C. Its walls were dull and pale.
D. There was a magazine and a pretty golden frame on the table.
10. How might Samsa feel when he found his transformation?
A. Extremely frightened B. Indifferent. C. Relieved. D. Unreal.
11. What can we conclude from the last paragraph?
A. Samsa felt unsatisfied about his life before.
B. Samsa would rather do actual business.
C. Samsa couldn’t identify where was itching however he tried.
D. The white spots felt cold when Samsa touched them.
D
The fact that gender diversity is something that companies constantly desire highlights the problem in itself. Across industries, the workforce gender balance is still highly skewed (偏向……的), even in fields which do not traditionally involve laborious work. The tech industry is a case in point, with the workforce imbalance definitely being one of the most prominent on the list.
Diversity and inclusion need to go hand in hand, and women around the world are increasingly assuming important positions and taking core decisions in the tech sector. These women are driving technological change and innovation which impact the industry at large.
Gender diversity, like diversity in general, is important for varied perspectives and thought processes in a company. These perspectives are what help shape advancements and new ideas in technology and overall operations for the success of the business. This is especially true for technologies such as AI.
According to a 2017 report on Higher Education by the Ministry of Human Resource Development, Government of India, women were at or near parity (对等) among undergraduate degrees in science IT and computer. Most women equal men when it comes to skills, but face discrimination in other areas, thus creating a gap and reducing the will to continue at the company.
According to reports, biased treatment within the workplace is the most frequently cited reason for leaving, followed by poor management. There is still scope for a shift in attitudes at workplaces, which is a major obstacle when it comes to preserving women employees. In order to retain this talent and hire more talent like this, governments, NGOs and leaders from tech organizations need to come together to help close the gender gap further by providing more flexible work options and decision-making opportunities for women.
More and more women across the world are interested in looking for tech careers or maintaining their existing ones. There is a need to encourage them to take up roles in AI and STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Maths) with opportunities that are both fair and equal. Given the computer-driven nature of AI, there is a need for women from diverse backgrounds to balance out the conventionally male-dominated profession to give an accurate representation.
12. From the first paragraph we know that ________.
A. gender balance problem remains to be solved
B. laborious work demands more gender balance
C. not all industries have gender balance problem
D. gender balance problem has been more serious
13. Women employees are reported to leave their jobs mainly because of ________.
A. unsatisfying income B. poor management
C. competitive workplace D. unfair treatment
14. Which of the following can help to retain and attract more women?
A. Encouraging women to take up all kinds of roles.
B. Treating women employees more kindly than to men employees.
C. Offering women diverse work choices and decision-making opportunities.
D. Providing a tolerant working environment combined with favorable welfare.
15. What is the purpose of writing this passage?
A. To appeal to women to protect their proper rights
B. To present the fact of gender bias in the tech industry
C. To call for more women representation in the tech industry
D. To teach the tech industry how to get rid of gender bias

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.
4. 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
5. 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
6. 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
7. Which of the following best describes Gershwin?
A. Talented and productive. B. Serious and boring.
C. Popular and unhappy. D. Friendly and honest.
【答案】4. D 5. B 6. A 7. A

As Gregor Samsa awoke one morning from uneasy dreams he found himself transformed in his bed into a gigantic insect. He was lying on his hard, as it were armor-plated, back and when he lifted his head a little he could see his dome-like brown belly divided into stiff arched segments on top of which the bed quilt could hardly keep in position and was about to slide off completely. His numerous legs, which were pitifully thin compared to the rest of his body, waved helplessly before his eyes.
“What has happened to me?” he thought. It was no dream. His room, a regular human bedroom, only rather too small, lay quiet between the four familiar white walls. Above the table on which a collection of cloth samples was unpacked and spread out—Samsa was a commercial traveler—hung the picture which he had recently cut out of an illustrated magazine and put into a pretty golden frame. It showed a lady. Gregor’s eyes turned next to the window, and the overcast sky—one could hear rain drops beating on the window—made him quite melancholy (忧郁的). What about sleeping a little longer and forgetting all this nonsense, he thought, but it could not be done, for he was accustomed to sleep on his right side and in his present condition he could not turn himself over. However violently he forced himself towards his right side he always rolled on to his back again. He tried it at least a hundred times, shutting his eyes to keep from seeing his struggling legs, and only stopped when he began to feel in him a faint ache he had never experienced before.
He thought: “What an exhausting job I’ve picked on! ” Traveling about day in, day out. It’s much more boring work than doing the actual business in the office, and on top of that there’s the trouble of constant traveling, of worrying about train connections, the bed and irregular meals, casual acquaintances that are always new and never become intimate friends. The devil takes it all! He felt a slight itching up on his belly; slowly pushed himself on his back nearer to the top of the bed so that he could lift his head more easily; identified the itching place which was surrounded by many small white spots the nature of which he could not understand and made to touch it with a leg, but drew the leg back immediately, for the contact made a cold shiver run through him.(to be continued)
8. What might Gregor Samsa look like when he woke up?
A. A normal commercial traveler. B. Something ridiculous.
C. A huge insect with thick legs. D. A lady in the gift frame.
9. What can we know about Samsa’s room?
A. It was a regular room and tidy.
B. There was so window for him to look outside his tiny room.
C. Its walls were dull and pale.
D. There was a magazine and a pretty golden frame on the table.
10. How might Samsa feel when he found his transformation?
A. Extremely frightened B. Indifferent. C. Relieved. D. Unreal.
11. What can we conclude from the last paragraph?
A. Samsa felt unsatisfied about his life before.
B. Samsa would rather do actual business.
C. Samsa couldn’t identify where was itching however he tried.
D. The white spots felt cold when Samsa touched them.

His numerous legs, which were pitifully thin compared to the rest of his body, waved helplessly before his eyes. (一天早晨,Gregor Samsa从不安的梦中醒来,发现自己躺在床上变成了一只巨大的昆虫。他硬挺地躺在背上,好像身披铠甲似的。他稍微抬起头,就能看见他那像圆顶一样的棕色肚子分成了僵硬的拱形部分,上面的被子几乎无法固定,快要滑下来了。他的几条腿,比他身体的其他部分瘦得可怜,在他眼前无助地摆动着。)”。可知,当Gregor Samsa醒来时,他发现自己变了一只甲虫,这是很滑稽的。故选B。

The devil takes it all! (他想:“我选了一份多么累人的工作啊!”一天到晚到处旅行。这比在办公室里做实际的工作要无聊得多,除此之外,还要经常出差、担心火车转车、床和不规律的饮食、总是新认识的熟人,永远不会成为亲密的朋友。魔鬼夺走了一切!)”可推断,Samsa对之前的生活不满意,故选A。

The fact that gender diversity is something that companies constantly desire highlights the problem in itself. Across industries, the workforce gender balance is still highly skewed (偏向……的), even in fields which do not traditionally involve laborious work. The tech industry is a case in point, with the workforce imbalance definitely being one of the most prominent on the list.
Diversity and inclusion need to go hand in hand, and women around the world are increasingly assuming important positions and taking core decisions in the tech sector. These women are driving technological change and innovation which impact the industry at large.
Gender diversity, like diversity in general, is important for varied perspectives and thought processes in a company. These perspectives are what help shape advancements and new ideas in technology and overall operations for the success of the business. This is especially true for technologies such as AI.
According to a 2017 report on Higher Education by the Ministry of Human Resource Development, Government of India, women were at or near parity (对等) among undergraduate degrees in science IT and computer. Most women equal men when it comes to skills, but face discrimination in other areas, thus creating a gap and reducing the will to continue at the company.
According to reports, biased treatment within the workplace is the most frequently cited reason for leaving, followed by poor management. There is still scope for a shift in attitudes at workplaces, which is a major obstacle when it comes to preserving women employees. In order to retain this talent and hire more talent like this, governments, NGOs and leaders from tech organizations need to come together to help close the gender gap further by providing more flexible work options and decision-making opportunities for women.
More and more women across the world are interested in looking for tech careers or maintaining their existing ones. There is a need to encourage them to take up roles in AI and STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Maths) with opportunities that are both fair and equal. Given the computer-driven nature of AI, there is a need for women from diverse backgrounds to balance out the conventionally male-dominated profession to give an accurate representation.
12. From the first paragraph we know that ________.
A. gender balance problem remains to be solved
B. laborious work demands more gender balance
C. not all industries have gender balance problem
D. gender balance problem has been more serious
13. Women employees are reported to leave their jobs mainly because of ________.
A. unsatisfying income B. poor management
C. competitive workplace D. unfair treatment
14. Which of the following can help to retain and attract more women?
A. Encouraging women to take up all kinds of roles.
B. Treating women employees more kindly than to men employees.
C. Offering women diverse work choices and decision-making opportunities.
D. Providing a tolerant working environment combined with favorable welfare.
15. What is the purpose of writing this passage?
A. To appeal to women to protect their proper rights
B. To present the fact of gender bias in the tech industry
C. To call for more women representation in the tech industry
D. To teach the tech industry how to get rid of gender bias
【答案】12. A 13. D 14. C 15. C

(生活在城市中,你经常看到一群跑步者从一个角落出现。他们边跑边笑,边聊天,他们的跑鞋有节奏地触碰着人行道。)”及空后“Joining such a group club is great for runners.

【17题详解】
上文提到“When you run alone, it is harder to get out of the door and onto the pavement. (当你独自一人跑步时,更难走出家门,踏上人行道。)”可知,空前主要介绍一个人跑步会有很多阻碍,故该空应该是一个转折,该空应该谈及加入跑步俱乐部的益处,故F项“然而,成为跑步团体的一员会督促你参加跑步活动”符合。该空后也进一步介绍为什么身为团体的一员会有参加跑步活动的动力。故选F项。
【18题详解】

(当你成为俱乐部的一部分时,你可以与那些分享同样热情的人交朋友。根据一家健身杂志的说法,跑步者被认为是一个友好的群体!这提供了一种归属感,过一段时间后,这些新伙伴感觉就像一个温暖的家庭,可以成为终身的朋友。)”可知,A项“建立友谊”适合作本段的小标题。“友好”只是本段的一个小信息点,故干扰项B项可排除。故选A项。
【20题详解】
根据本段的小标题 Feel safe 及空前“When in a group, you will be reminded of possible dangers and if there is an accident, people are there to help you. (当在一个团队中时,你会被提醒可能存在的危险,如果发生事故,会有人在那里帮助你。)”可知,D项“这绝对可以给你一种安全感”符合。D项中的 This指代空前的一整句话。故选D项。

Many were novels and some were short stories; many were new and some were yellowed with age; many were detective stories and some were fairy tales. Suddenly, there was a knock on the door. The small boy called Thomas turned his wheelchair to his right and slowly opened the door. As usual, it was his mom. who wanted Thomas to get ready for school. Thomas had his breakfast, said goodbye to his mom and set off to the school in his wheelchair. Thomas lost his leg when he was eight in an accident. He had to spend the rest of his life in a wheelchair. But the accident did not take away his trust in life. and he wanted to be a writer. His mother supported his dream. Thomas didn’t want to go to a school for the disabled. So he chose to attend an ordinary school.
On the way to school. he met his loving and kind-hearted friend. George. George wheeled his friend quickly and talked with him merrily. He told George that there would be a story competition the next week. George encouraged him to take part in it, saying. “Trust yourself. You can make it!” They reached the school in thirty minutes. George said goodbye to Thomas and they both went to their classes.
Slowly days passed. and the mid-term exams started. They ended within a week. “Thomas, you have done the best in the exams.” said the class teacher cheerfully. Thomas was very happy because he had scored full marks in all the three subjects. He wheeled his chair and again met George on the way back home. This time both stopped on the side and George said. “Try to participate in the story competition.” “OK. thank you. George,” said Thomas excitedly. He rushed home, and wrote something on a piece of paper. His mom was very happy to see her son cheerful and excited. Actually he was planning to write a short story to take part in the competition. But he didn’t know how to finish it.

【答案】One possible version:
Thomas thought he might need some help. Just then. his mother entered and told him that George had come. When Thomas saw his mother and George, he told them what he had thought about. He was afraid he could not write well and that he might fail. They kept inspiring him and gave him courage. “Try your best!” they said. George offered him some suggestions and they headed to the local library to refer to some materials so that Thomas could get some inspiration and create a better story. Finally, with their help and his own hard work, he finished his short story. He sent this story to the competition organizer.
After that, Thomas was anxiously waiting for the result of the competition. As all the judges read Thomas’s story, they were amazed by his brilliance (才华). The lines and the plot of the story moved them. All the judges made their best comments on it. Thomas’s story won the first prize, and he became the best writer in the junior section. The moment he got the news, Thomas went back home quickly and told his mother about it. “Congratulations! my dear. You are worthy of the success.” She hugged Thomas tightly in her arms. Soon George and more people came to Thomas’s house and concongrated Thomas on his achievement.
