George Gershwin died in 1937,just days after doctors learned he had brain cancer.He was only thirtynine 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.
语篇解读 本文为一篇记叙文。讲述了美国最伟大的作曲家之一乔治·格什温的几件奇闻逸事。他的许多作品是为纽约的音乐剧创作的。在保罗·惠特曼举办的证明爵士乐是严肃音乐的音乐会上,乔治·格什温写了Rhapsody in Blue(《蓝色狂想曲》)并亲自演奏,迷倒了观众。1928年他去巴黎,想师从Nadia Boulanger,但被拒绝,因为她怕毁了他在爵士乐方面的天资。在巴黎期间,乔治·格什温写了An American in Paris(《一个美国人在巴黎》)。它首次被演奏,褒贬不一,但它现在依旧是他最著名的作品之一。乔治·格什温于1937年死于脑癌。
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
解析: 细节理解题。根据第二段中的第一句Many of Gershwin’s songs were first written for musical plays performed in theatres in New York City.可知乔治的多数歌曲是给音乐剧写的,不是写关于纽约人的,可排除选项A;同时知道这些歌曲是在纽约市演奏的,不是在农村演奏的,可排除选项C;这些歌也不是单为保罗一人写的,可排除选项B;再根据第二段最后一句Over the years they have been sung and played in every possible way—from jazz to country.可知他的作品被以各种形式演奏,故选择D项。
