It was a strange place. Martin and Tom wished that they had not accepted Jacks dare. They liked camping, but not near this swamp.“So，” Martin asked as they sat watching the hot coals. “How did this place get its name? ”“Are you sure you want to hear it? Its a scary story，” warned Jack.“Of course！” cried out Tom. “If there were anything to be scared of, you wouldnt have chosen this place！”“OK, but dont say I didnt warn you，” said Jack, and he began his tale.“Way back in time, a man called Dennis tried to start a farm here. He built that cottage over there to live in. In those days, the area looked quite differentit was covered with tall trees and the swamp was a crystalclear river. After three hard years, Dennis had cleared several fields and planted crops. He was so proud of his success that he refused to listen to advice.”“You are clearing too much land， warned one old man. The land is a living thing. It will hit back at you if you abuse it. Silly fool， said Dennis to himself. If I clear more land, I can grow more crops. Ill become wealthier. Hes just jealous！”“Dennis continued to chop down trees. Small animals that relied on them for food and shelter were destroyed. He was so eager to expand his farm that he did not notice the river flowing slowly towards his door. He did not notice salt seeping to the surface of the land. He did not notice swamp plants choking all the native plants.”“What happened? ” Martin asked. It was growing colder. He trembled, twisting his body closer to the fire.“The land hit backjust as the old man warned, ” Jack shrugged. “Dennis disappeared. Old folks around here believe that swamp plants moved up from the river and dragged him underwater. His body was never found.”“What a stupid story, ” laughed Tom. “Plants cant” Before he had finished speaking, he screamed and fainted(晕倒). The other two boys jumped up with fright, staring at Tom.

During the next twenty years he wrote more than five hundred songs.Many of Gershwins 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 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.60Many of Gershwins musical works were _Awritten about New Yorkers Bcomposed for Paul WhitemanCplayed mainly in the countryside Dperformed in various ways61What do we know about the concert organized by Whiteman?AIt attracted more people to theatres. BIt proved jazz could be serious music.CIt made Gershwin leader of the orchestra. DIt caused a debate among jazz musicians.62What did Gershwin do during his stay in Paris?AHe created one of his best works. BHe studied with Nadia Boulanger.CHe argued with French critics. DHe changed his music style.63Which of the following best describes Gershwin?ATalented and productive. BSerious and boring.CPopular and unhappy. DFriendly and honest.C2013安徽卷 Argentina in the late nineteenth century was an exciting place. Around 1870，it was experiencing an economic(经济的)boom，and the capital，Buenos Aires，attracted many people. Farmers，as well as a flood of foreigners from Spain and Italy，came to Buenos Aires seeking jobs. These jobs didnt pay well，and the people felt lonely and disappointed with their new life in the city. As the unhappy newcomers mixed together in the poor parts of the city，the dance known as the tango(探戈舞) came into being. At the beginning the tango was a dance of the lower classes. It was danced in the bars and streets. At that time there were many fewer women than men，so if a man didnt want to be left out，his only choice was to dance with another man so that he could attract the attention of the few available women. Gradually，the dance spread into the upper classes of Argentinean society and became more respectable. In Europe at this time，strong interest in dance from around the world was beginning. The interest in international dance was especially evident in Paris. Every kind of dance from ballet(芭蕾舞) to belly dancing could be found on the stages of the Paris theaters. After tango dancers from Argentina arrived in Europe，they began to draw the interest of the public as they performed their exciting dance in cafes. Though not everyone approved of the new dance，saying it was a little too shocking，the dance did find enough supporters to make it popular.The popularity(流行)of the tango continued to grow in many other parts of the world. Soldiers who returned to the United States from World War brought the tango to North America. It reached Japan in 1926，and in 2003 the Argentinean embassy in Seoul hired a local tango dancer to act as a kind of dance ambassador，and promote tango dancing throughout South Korea.64. The origin of the tango is associated with_Abelly dancers BAmerican soldiersCa Spanish city Dthe capital of Argentina65Which of the following is true about the tango?AIt was created by foreigners from Spain and Italy.BPeople of the upper classes loved the tango most.CIt was often danced by two males in the beginning.DA dancer in Seoul became the Argentinean ambassador.66Before World War ，the tango spread to_AAmerica BJapanCFrance DSouth Korea67What can be the best title for the text?AHow to Dance the TangoBThe History of the TangoCHow to Promote the TangoDThe Modern Tango Boom D 2013大纲全国卷 The oldest and most common source(来源)of renewable energy known to man, biomass is one of the most important forms of energy production in the United States and elsewhere. Since such a wide variety of biomass materials is everywherefrom trees and grasses to agricultural and citylife wastesbiomass promises to play a continuing role in providing power and heat for millions of people around the world.According to the Union of Concerned Scientists(UCS), biomass is a kind of renewable energy source that produces no carbon dioxide(二氧化碳), because the energy it contains comes from the sun. When plant matter is burned, it gives off the suns energy. In this way, biomass serves as a sort of natural battery(电池)for storing the suns energy. As long as biomass is produced continuouslywith only as much grown as is usedthe “battery” lasts forever.According to the Energy Information Administration, biomass has been one of the leading renewable energy sources in the United States for several years running t
