阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。
A disheveled(头发凌乱的) man appeared in court Thursday on charges of murdering a Chinese woman whose fight with her attacker was seen on webcam by her boyfriend in China. Police refused to release any details about the crime or its possible motive.
The body of York University student Liu Qian, 23, of Beijing, was found Friday in her apartment in Toronto a few hours after her boyfriend witnessed the attack, police said.
She was found undressed from the waist down but there were no obvious signs of sexual attack or trauma（创伤）severe enough to kill her. Police say it may be weeks before the results of an autopsy(尸体解剖) are known.
Brian Dickson, 29, stood before the court in a wrinkled white shirt and blue jeans as a charge of first-degree murder was read out. He did not enter an appeal. His case was held over until April 26.
Dickson was arrested Wednesday. Police only announced his name and his age and asked the media not to publish any photos of Dickson, saying it could compromise the investigation. Toronto police spokesman Tony Vella declined to respond to the request further.
Liu’s father, Liu Jianhui, who arrived from China after being informed of his daughter’s death, thanked authorities for their quick action.
“I sincerely thank the people concerned with my daughter’s case,” he told reporters after the arrest. “Our daughter was studying very hard.”
Police released no motive or details about Dickson, but one friend described the Toronto man as an aspiring actor.

Patricia Tomasi, a friend of Dickson’s, told The Associated Press that she acted in a play at a local theater in Toronto with Dickson in 2007.
“He doesn’t seem like the type but that’s what they always say,” Tomasi said. “He’s tall with boyish good looks. I don’t know much about him except that he wanted to be an actor.”
Dickson attended York University where he studied global politics, but did not earn a degree from there.
He later worked for the Atlantic Council of Canada (ACC), where he served as an assistant to the president Julie Lindhout. According to his biography on a newsletter from the Atlantic Council of Canada, Dickson has also been a running instructor and has been involved with Developments in Literacy, a Pakistani aid organization that raises money for children in Pakistan.
A statement from the Atlantic Council of Canada on Thursday said it was not council policy to comment on staff, but it confirmed that Dickson had been an intern(实习生) with the council from September 29, 2008, until March 27, 2009.
Liu was chatting with her boyfriend, Meng Xianchao, by webcam at about 1 a.m. Friday when a man knocked on the door, police said.
Meng reported seeing a struggle break out between the two before Liu’s webcam was shut off. Meng contacted other friends in Toronto who in turn called police.
The victim’s father, Liu Jianhui, said his daughter studied at Beijing City University before moving to Canada, where she met Meng.
Liu Qian’s laptop computer, webcam and mobile phone were taken from the apartment the night of the attack, police said. Police said the online chat was on a live streaming camera and was not recorded, though investigators were trying to figure out if there was any way they could recover it.
York University, whose campus is located near one of Toronto’s rougher neighborhoods, is one of Canada’s largest universities with more than 53,000 undergraduate and graduate students. About 3,200 of York’s students come from more than 150 foreign countries, the university’s website says.
1. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?
A. York University students come from over 150 foreign countries.
B. Dickson was a graduate of York University where he studied global politics.
C. The passage does not mention the reason why Dickson murdered Liu Qian.
D. ACC wouldn’t make any comments on staff even if they committed a crime.
2. The underlined word in paragraph 8 probably means _______.
A. a successful actor B. a gifted actor
C. a common actor D. an ambitious actor
3. Why did police ask the media not to publish any photos of Dickson?
A. Worrying about bad influences on the investigation.
B Not intending to give out any information about Dickson.
C. Not confirming whether Dickson had killed Liu Qian.
D. Wanting to protect their citizen for fear of losing face.
4. What can be inferred from the text?
A. Developments in Literacy raises money for children.
B. Seeing the struggle, Meng contacted Toronto police.
C. Dickson had no bad records before the murder.
D. Investigators could recover the chat record online.

【解析】 在一个比较贫困的家庭里，父慈母爱，孩子孝顺懂事，生活很温馨。这是一个贫困家庭的富足之处。
1．B　这里是固定短语，have no idea about/of 意指“不知道，没想到”。
2．C　the moment 表示“刚一……就”，我们刚一到他的家……类似的表达还有the second, the instant, as soon as。
3．D　couldn't describe it in words 意为“难以用言语表达”。具体用某种语言可以说in Chinese/English, 但不说in language。in other words意为“换句话说”， in your own words意为“用你自己的话说”。with 一般指借助具体工具。
4．A　从上下文看，这里指典型的中产阶级。
5．A　从下文看，同学的父母是“疼爱人的，关爱人的”，这给作者留下了很深的印象。其他不合情景。
6．C　由于没有餐桌，所以他们坐在地上吃饭。
7．C　从上下文看是同学的妈妈为我们预备了美味的食物。
8．D　这是位慈祥的妈妈，始终在微笑。
9．A　从上下文看， 我不知道(也想知道)这位父亲能否赚到足够的钱养家。所以选A。
10．C　同学的父亲是特意回来见我们的，故选meet up with; put up with 意为“忍受，容忍”，不合题意。
11．B　同学是毫不迟疑地把他的父亲介绍给我们。no hesitation意为“不迟疑，不耽搁”。
12．C　同学不由于父亲身份低微而觉得在同学们面前不好意思。这一点在今日的青年一代身上很少见。generation意为“一代人”；这里不是指社会(society)，也不是指社区(community)。
13．D　我们还来不及说什么。 确定句中“说点什么”用say something；否定句和疑问句用say anything。
14．B　依据上下文看，他父亲应当是看起来很累了。
15．A　从故事看，尽管这个家庭比较贫困，但是父慈母爱，孩子孝顺懂事，生活温馨。这是一个贫困家庭的富足之处。fullness意为“充分，丰富”；sweetness意为“甜蜜”，不合题意。

阅读下列四篇短文，从每小题后所给的A,B,C或D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
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 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 world­famous 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 well­known musician Nadia Boulanger，but she rejected him.She was afraid that classical study would ruin his jazz­influenced 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 stilly 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 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】 本文叙述了George Gershwin 一位宏大的音乐家的一生，对音乐界及世界的影响。
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。依据原文其次段末Over the years they have been sung and played in every possible way—from jazz to country.其中“they”指代Gershwin's musical works，“in every possible way ”与 various ways属于同义替换，所以选D。
答案　D 。
2．What do we know about the concert organized by Whiteman?
A．It attracted more people to theatres.
B．It proved jazz could be serious music.
C．It made Gershwin leader of the orchestra.
D．It caused a debate among jazz musicians.
解析　细节理解题。依据原文第三段中In 1924, jazz musician and orchestra leader Paul Whiteman decided to organize a special concert to show that jazz was serious music .其中“show that jazz was serious music”和B选项是表达的一个意思，所以选B。
答案　B.
3．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.
解析　细节理解题。依据原文第四段中“It still remains one of his most famous works.”其中it指的就是An American in Paris，“one of his most famous works.”即A选项中的 one of his best works。
答案　A.
4．What do we learn from the last paragraph?
A．Many of Gershwin's works were lost.
B．The death of Gershwin was widely reported.
C．A concert was held in memory of Gershwin.
D．Brain cancer research started after Gershwin's death.
解析　推理推断题。依据原文最终一段，“Newspapers all over the world reported his death on their front pages.”即说明白B选项“The death of Gershwin was widely reported.”故B正确。其它选项均没有涉及。
答案　B.
5．Which of the following best describes Gershwin?
A．Talented and productive.
B．Serious and boring.
C．Popular and unhappy.
D．Friendly and honest.
解析　主旨大意题。从全文看，这个人不行能用boring这样感情颜色负面的词来形容，故B错误；文中提到他popular，但没有说他unhappy，故C错误；friendly和honest在文中没有具体体现，没有依据，故D错误；A选项中talented有天分的，productive多产的，精确     地描述了Gershwin作为一个作曲家所具备的素养。
答案　A.
