She began to teach Kern how to play when he was very young. He became quite a good piano player but not so good that anyone expected him to become a great musician. Kern’s father said his son could never make money by creating music. But he later came to believe that Kern might do better in music than in business after all. So he let the boy go to Europe to study music.‎ Jerome Kern began his career as a song writer in theaters in London and New York City. Success came quickly. By the early 1920s, Kern was a successful young composer for Broadway musical comedies. In one three-year period alone, he wrote music for nineteen shows. One of Kern’s best-loved songs is Smoke Gets in Your Eyes. Although Kern’s songs are easy to remember after being heard a few times, they are not simple. His songs are always creative, even demanding. An example is the song All the Things You Are.‎ American musical plays at that time were still usually copied from European ones. Often the stories seemed foolish and the people in them did not seem real. Songs and dances often had no connection to the story. Kern wanted to try something completely new. He wanted to do a truly American musical, with real American characters and real situations. In 1927, he found the story he wanted. It was the book Show Boat by American writer Edna Ferber. The story dealt with some unusually serious issues for a musical. It showed the hard lives of African-Americans in the South. And it showed marriage between people of different races, which was against the law at that time. Although serious in places, Show Boat was not a tragedy. The public and critics loved it. Show Boat became the greatest work of American musical theater. It was Kern’s music that made the show a great success. Music historians say he led the development of the first truly American theater music.‎ ‎24. What is Jerome Kern like?‎ A. Creative and productive. B. Honest and serious.‎ C. Humorous and talented. D. Persistent and positive.‎ ‎25. From the passage, we can learn that .‎ A. Kern’s parents were both famous musicians B. Kern became a successful composer in his late thirties C. Kern’s songs are simple and easy to remember D. Kern’s Show Boat received negative comments from critics.‎ ‎26. What can be inferred about America at Jerome’s time?‎ A. People from different races could get married legally.‎ B. Music and dances were usually closely related to the story.‎ C. There was no truly American musical before Show Boat.‎ D. African-Americans were treated well in the South.‎ ‎27. What is the passage mainly about?‎ A. Development of American musical theater.‎ B. Characteristics of modern American theater music.‎ C. Show Boat’s significance in musical theater history.‎ D. Jerome Kern’s contribution to American musical theater.‎ C When scientists study climate change, they mostly focus on the change in global average temperature, but neglect(忽视) to explore how temperature variability(易变性) has changed with climate change. It is well known that warming temperatures will cause the rising ocean and increased flooding, especially in coastal regions such as those in the United States, but what do varying temperatures mean for the changing seasons?‎ ‎“We describe, for the first time, changes in temperature variability across the globe. We’ve had a long discussion about changes in the average temperature. It has been continuing for over 30 years,” leading study author George Wang, at the Max Planck Institute for Developmental Biology in Germany, said in a statement. “It’s very clear that temperatures have shifted across the globe. It’s less clear if the variation in temperature has changed.”‎ Described in the journal Nature Climate Change, Wang and co-author Michael Dillon, with the University of Wyoming, analyzed more than one billion temperature measurements from 7,906 weather stations with data from 1926 to 2009. Monthly and yearly averages of daily temperature extremes showed that since 1950, minimum and maximum daily and average temperatures are increasing, which means what we experience over a few days now is more like temperatures we experience over a year.‎ This could be potentially changing the ecological influence of seasons. For example, the variability in temperature could potentially mean bugs survive for a longer period in non-tropical regions. The result could increase crop damage from insect pests or spread of diseases, such as malaria(疟疾) spread by mosquitoes.‎ Also, plants in some regions rely on the changing seasons to know when to ‎ produce flowers and fruits. With temperatures becoming less variable, it becomes harder for these plants to behave appropriately to the season, to the point where eventually they might not produce any fruits at all.‎ ‎28. What can we learn about climate change from Para 1?‎ A. It may keep the seasons quite different. ‎ B. It may cause floods in some regions.‎ C. It will result in the oceans being rough. ‎ D. It leads to the temperatures changing slightly.‎ ‎29. According to George Wang, we can know that .‎ A. it is not clear whether the change is serious ‎ B. no one knows how the climate changed C. the climate change has been a hot topic for many years ‎ D. the change in temperature is a new topic ‎30. What did Wang and Dillon do to know of climate change?‎ A. They set up 7,906 weather stations around the world.‎ B. They adopted over one billion measurements.‎ C. They analyzed information collected for over 80 years.‎ D. They experienced different kinds of climates.‎ ‎31. If the climate change went on, .‎ A. we might have few kinds of fruits ‎ B. some bugs would die out in the future C. some plants would grow faster D. we might find it hard to live on the earth ‎ ‎ D The home-cooked meal has long been romanticized. Star food writer Michael Pollanonce wrote, “The work of cooking offered fulfillment and deserved an intelligent woman’s attention.” But while home-cooked meals are typically healthier than restaurant food, Sarah Bowen, sociologist from North Carolina State University argues that the stress that cooking puts on women may be unworthy.‎ The researchers interviewed 150 mothers and spent 250 hours observing 12‎ ‎ families. The mothers they interviewed had largely accepted the social message that “home-cooked meals have become the mark of good mothering, stable families and healthy citizens,” but as much as they wanted to achieve that ideal strongly recommended by foodies(美食家), they didn’t have the conditions to get there, especially for low-income mothers. Low-income mothers often don’t have regular work schedules, making it impossible to have set meal times. And they often don’t have the money for fresh agricultural products and, in some cases, can’t afford to pay for even a basic kitchen setup.‎ In addition, all women find that their own family members present a major obstacle to their desire to produce diverse meals. The women interviewed faced not just children but grown adults who were picky(挑剔的),and ungrateful for their efforts. Mothers want to try new recipes and diverse ingredients, but they know that it will cause other family members to reject the meals. Instead, they continue to make old meals. The saddest part is that picky husbands were just as much.‎ The researchers quote food writer Mark Bittman, who says that the goal should be “to get people to see cooking as a joy rather than a burden.” The researchers argue that the main reason why people see cooking mostly as a burden is that it is a burden. It’s expensive and time-consuming and often done for a bunch of ingrates who would rather just be eating fast food anyway. If we want women to see cooking as fun, then these obstacles need to be fixed first. And whatever burden is left, the unsatisfying result needs to be shared.‎ ‎32. Which of the following would Sarah Bowen probably agree?‎ A. Cooking offers women with fulfillment. ‎ B. Home-cooked meals represent good mothering.‎ C. Women suffer pressure from cooking. ‎ D. Both women and men should cook.‎ ‎33. From the passage, we can know that mothers often .‎ A. repeat their recipes B. buy fresh agricultural products C. complain about cooking D. choose diverse food ingredients ‎34. What does the underlined word “ingrates” in the last paragraph refer to?‎ A. Busy customers. B. Disappointed mothers.‎ C. Poor husbands and children. D. Ungrateful family members.‎ ‎35. What’s the author’s attitude towards mothers’ cooking for the family?‎ A. Negative. B. Indifferent. C. Positive. D. Objective.‎ 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）‎ 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ Fun Things to Do when You’re Alone at Home Spending time on your own is one of the best things in the world. 36 And you can do all those enjoyable things that you might never do when someone is around.
