不止一种,故此空填复数形式dishes。

想的话,我们也会提供筷子。主语和谓语之间是被动关系,且
该动作可以是通常性的动作,也可以是将来某一时间的动作。

In 1947 a group of famous people from the art world headed by an Austrian conductor decided
to hold an international festival of music,dance and theater in Edinburgh.The idea was to reunite
Europe after the Second World War.
It quickly attracted famous names such as Alec Guinness,Richard Burton,Dame Margot
Fonteyn and Marlene Dietrich as well as the big symphony orchestras(交响乐团).It became a
fixed event every August and now attracts 400,000 people yearly.
At the same time,the "Fringe"appeared as a challenge to the official festival.Eight theater
groups turned up uninvited in 1947,in the belief that everyone should have the right to perform,
and they did so in a public house disused for years.
Soon,groups of students firstly from Edinburgh University,and later from the universities
of Oxford and Cambridge,Durham and Birmingham were making the journey to the Scottish
capital each summer to perform theater by little-known writers of plays in small church halls to
the people of Edinburgh.
Today the "Fringe",once less recognized,has far outgrown the festival with around 1,500
performances of theater,music and dance on every one of the 21 days it lasts.And yet as early as
1959,with only 19 theater groups performing,some said it was getting too big.
A paid administrator was first employed only in 1971,and today there are eight
administrators working all year round and the number rises to 150 during August itself.In 2004
there were 200 places housing 1,695 shows by over 600 different groups from 50 different
countries.More than 1.25 million tickets were sold.
15.What was the purpose of Edinburgh Festival at the beginning?
A.To bring Europe together again.
B.To honor heroes of World War II.
C.To introduce young theater groups.
D.To attract great artists from Europe.
17
16.Why did some uninvited theater groups come to Edinburgh in 1947?
A.They owned a public house there.
B.They came to take up a challenge.
C.They thought they were also famous.
D.They wanted to take part in the festival.
17.We may learn from the text that Edinburgh Festival
A.has become a non-official event
B.has gone beyond an art festival
C.gives shows all year round
D.keeps growing rapidly
B
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 theaters 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-
18无敌原创·单元卷高中英语·必修第二册
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 ()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.
18.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
19.What do we know about the concert organized by Whiteman?
A.It attracted more people to theaters.
B.It proved jazz could be serious music.
C.It made Gershwin leader of the orchestra.
D.It caused a debate among jazz musicians.
20.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.

Rock music consists of many different styles.Even though there is a common spirit among all
music groups,they make very different music.21 At that time the Beatles entered the world
of music from Liverpool.
After they were given an invitation to appear live on BBC,the Beatles quickly became famous
in Britain with nationwide tours.By mid-1963,the Beatles had been extremely popular in
England.22 They held large concerts and performed at clubs.They became the hottest thing
on the pop music scene in England.They began as a modestly successful musician group and
ended the year as show business legends().John Lennon and Paul McCartney were named
composers of the year.
