He has good heart, but always feared applying for a new job. ‎ One day, he gathered up all his strength and decided to attend a job interview. His appointment was at 10 am and it was already 8:30. While waiting for a bus to the office where he was supposed to be interviewed, he saw an elderly man wildly kicking the tyre of his car. Obviously there was something wrong with the car. Jimmy immediately went up to lend him a hand. When Jimmy finished working on the car, the old man asked him how much he should pay for the service. Jimmy said there was no need to pay him; he just helped someone in need, and he had to rush for an interview. Then the old man said, “Well, I could take you to the office for your interview. It’s the least I could do. Please. I insist.” Jimmy agreed. ‎ Upon arrival, Jimmy found a long line of applications waiting to be interviewed. Jimmy still had some grease on him after the car repair, but he did not have much time to wash it off or have a change of shirt. One by one, the applicants left the interviewer’s office with disappointed look on their faces. ‎ Finally his name was called. The interviewer was sitting on a large chair facing the office window. Rocking the chair back and forth, he asked, “Do you really need to be interviewed?” Jimmy’s heart sank. “With the way I look now, how could I possibly pass this interview?” he thought to himself. ‎ Then the interviewer turned the chair and to Jimmy’s surprise, it was the old man he helped earlier in the morning. It turned out he was the General Manager of the company. ‎ ‎“Sorry I had to keep you waiting, but I was pretty sure I made the right decision to have you as part of our workforce before you even stepped into the office. I just know you’d be a trustworthy worker. Congratulations!” Jimmy sat down and they shared a cup of well-deserved coffee as he landed himself a new job. ‎ ‎24.

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 sill 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. ‎ ‎28. Many of Gershwin’s musical works were ________ . A. written about New Yorkers B. Composed for Paul Whiteman C. performed in various ways D. played mainly in the countryside ‎ ‎29. What do we know about the concert organized by Whiteman? A. It caused a debate among jazz musicians. B. It attracted more people to theatres C. It made Gershwin leader of the orchestra D. It proved jazz could be serious music ‎ ‎30. 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 ‎31. Which of the following best describes Gershwin? A. Serious and boring B. Talented and productive C. popular and unhappy D. Friendly and honest ‎ D Cities usually have a good reason for being where they are, like a nearby port or river. People settle in these places because they are easy to get to and naturally suited to communications and trade. New York City, for example, is near a large harbour at the mouth of the Hudson River. Over 300 years its population grew gradually from 800 people to 8 million. But not all cities develop slowly over a long period of time. Boom towns grow from nothing almost overnight. In 1896, Dawson, Canada, was unmapped wilderness(荒野). But gold was discovered there in 1897, and two years later, it was one of the largest cities in the West, with a population of 30,000.‎ Dawson did not have any of the natural conveniences of cities like London or Paris. People went there for gold. They travelled over snow-covered mountains and sailed hundreds of miles up icy rivers. The path to Dawson was covered with thirty feet of wet snow that could fall without warming. An avalanche(雪崩) once closed the path, killing 63 people. For many who made it to Dawson, however, the rewards were worth the difficult trip. Of the first 20,000 people who dug for gold, 4,000 got rich. About 100 of these stayed rich men for the rest of their lives.‎ But no matter how rich they were, Dawson was never comfortable. Necessities like food and wood were very expensive. But soon, the gold that Dawson depended on had all been found. The city was crowded with disappointed people with no interest in settling down, and when they heard there were new gold discoveries in Alaska, they left Dawson City as quickly as they had come. Today, people still come and go — to see where the Canadian gold rush happened. Tourism is now the chief industry of Dawson City — its present population is 762.‎ ‎32. What attracted the early settlers to New York City?‎ A. Its business culture. B. Its small population.‎ C. Its favourable climate. D. Its geographical position.‎ ‎33. What do we know about those who first dug for gold in Dawson?‎ A. Two-thirds of them stayed there. B. One out of five people got rich.‎ C. Almost everyone gave up. D. Half of them died.‎ ‎34. What was the main reason for many people to leave Dawson?‎ A. They wanted to try their luck elsewhere. B. They found the city too crowded.‎ C. They were unable to stand the winter. D. They were short of food.‎ ‎35. What is the text mainly about?‎ A. Journeys into the wilderness. B. The gold rush in Canada.‎ C. The rise and fall of a city. D. Tourism in Dawson.‎ 第二节：语法填空（共10小题；每小题1. 5分，满分15分）‎ Lots of people find it hard to get up in the morning and put the blame on the alarm clock.
