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.请标准翻译,不要机器翻译的,谢谢

2014广东高考英语试题答案与解析(阅读理解与信息匹配)
阅读（共两节）
第一节 阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
Samuel Osmond is a 19-year-old law student from Cornwall, England.
He never studied the piano. However, he can play very
difficult musical pieces by musicians such as Chopin and Beethoven
just a few minutes after he hears them. He learns a piece of
music by listening to it in parts. Then he thinks about the notes
in his head. Two years ago, he played his first piece Moonlight
Sonata（奏鸣曲）by Beethoven. He surprised everyone around him.
Amazed that he remembered this long and difficult piece of music
and played it perfectly, his teachers say Samuel is unbelievable.
They say his ability is very rare, but Samuel doesn’t even realize
that what he can do is special. Samuel wanted
to become a lawyer as it was the wish of his parents,
but music teachers told him he should
study music instead. Now, he studies law and music.
Samuel can’t understand why everyone is so
surprised. “I grew up with music. My mother played the piano
and my father played the guitar. About two years ago, I suddenly decided to start playing the piano, without
being able to read music and without having any lessons. It comes
easily to me ---I hear the notes and can bear them in mind---each
and every note,” says Samuel.
Recently, Samuel performed a piece during a special event at his
college. The piece had more than a thousand notes. The audience was
impressed by his amazing performance. He is now learning a piece
that is so difficult that many professional pianists can’t play it.
Samuel says confidently, “It’s all about
super memory---I guess I have that gift.”
However, Samuel’s ability to remember things doesn’t stop with
music. His family says that even when he was a young boy, Samuel
heard someone read a story, and then he could retell the story word
Samuel is still only a teenager. He doesn’t know what he wants to
do in the future. For now, he is just happy to play beautiful music
and continue his studies.

B. The Story of a Musical

本文是记叙文，介绍有音乐天才的Samuel Osmond。
26. D 细节理解题。由第一段中的However, he can play very difficult musical
pieces by musicians such as Chopin and Beethoven just a few minutes
after he hears them可知选D。顺便提醒，有however或but的地方往往是出题的地方，可以注意哟。
27.&B 细节理解题。由第二段最后两句 “but music teachers told him he should study music
instead. Now, he studies law and
music”可知选B，Samuel按照父母的意愿是想做律师的，而不是做音乐家。因按父母的意愿是学法律，按老师的建议学音乐，故D错。
28. C 综合细节题。由第三段最一句Samuel can’t understand why everyone is so
surprised和第三四句 “I suddenly decided to start playing the piano,
without being able to read music and without having any lessons. It
comes easily to me ---I hear the notes and can bear them in
mind---each and every note”可知，他不用看音符就能演奏钢琴，故选C。
29.&B 推断隐含意义。由第四段最后一句Samuel says confidently,
“It’s all about super memory---I guess I have that
gift.”可推出，选B。
30. B 选择标题题。也属主旨要义题。每段都有Samuel，全文都是说学法津的Samuel有音乐天才。
It was a cold winter day. A woman drove up to the Rainbow Bridge
tollbooth (收费站). “I’m paying for myself, and for the six cars
behind me,” she said with a smile, handing over seven tickets. One
after another, the next six drivers arriving at the tollbooth were
informed, “Some lady up ahead already paid your fare.”
It turned out that the woman, Natalie Smith, had read something on
a friend’s refrigerator: “Practice random
kindness and senseless acts of beauty.” The phrase impressed
her so much that she copied it down.
Judy Foreman spotted the same phrase on a warehouse wall far away
from home. When it stayed on her mind for days, she gave up and
drove all the way back to copy it down. “I
thought it was beautiful,” she said, explaining why she’d
taken to writing it at the bottom of all her letters, “like a
message from above.” Her husband, Frank, liked the phrase so much
that he put it up on the classroom wall for his students, one of
whom was the daughter of Alice Johnson, a local news reporter.
Alice put it in the newspaper, admitting that though she liked it,
she didn’t know where it came from or what it really meant.
Two days later, Alice got a call from Anne Herbert, a woman
living in Marin. It was in a restaurant that
Anne wrote the phrase down on a piece of paper, after
turning it around in her mind for days.
“Here’s the idea,” Anne says. “Anything you think there should be
more of, do it randomly.” Her fantasies include painting the
classrooms of shabby schools, leaving hot meals on kitchen tables
in the poor part of town, and giving money secretly to a proud old
lady. Anne says, “Kindness can build on
itself as much as violence can.”
The acts of random kindness spread. If you were one of those
drivers who found your fare paid, who knows what you might have been inspired to do for someone else
later. Like all great events, kindness begins slowly, with
every single act. Let it be yours!
31. Why did Natalie Smith pay for the six cars behind her?
A. She knew the car drivers well.& B. She wanted to show kindness.
C. She hoped to please
others.&&&&&
D. She had seven tickets.
32. Judy Foreman copied down the phrase because she
A. thought it was beautifully
B. wanted to know what it really meant
C. decided to write it on a warehouse wall
D. wanted her husband to put it up in the classroom
33. Who came up with the phrase according to the passage?
A. Judy Foreman.&& B. Natalie
Smith.&&& C.
Alice Johnson.&& D. Anne Herbert.
34. Which of the following statements is closest in the meaning
to the underlined sentence above?
A. Kindness and violence can change the world.
B. Kindness and violence can affect one’s behavior.
C. Kindness and violence can reproduce
themselves.
D. Kindness and violence can shape one’s character.
35. What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A. People should practice random kindness to those in need.
B. People who receive kindness are likely
to offer it to others.
C. People should practice random kindness to strangers they
D. People who receive kindness are likely to pay it back to the
本文主要讲述“Practice random kindness and senseless acts of
beauty.”这句话的来历、含义，及给人们的造成的影响。
31. B 细节推断题。第一段说Natalie Smith 为其后面的六辆车交费，第二段交等了其中的原因，是她看到的
“Practice random kindness and senseless acts of
beauty”这句话给了她深刻印象，由此推断，她是受这句话的启发，“想给他人施恩”，故选B。
32. A 细节理解题。由第三段第三句“I thought it was beautiful,” she said,
explaining why she’d taken to writing it at the bottom of all her
letters可知，选A。选项B文中无信息支持，无中生有；选项C“决定将其写在仓库墙上”与文中“看到离家很远的一个仓库墙上看到这句话”意义不同，张冠李戴；虽然文中有她老公将其写在教室的墙上，但并不是她要他写的，更不是她抄写这句话的目的，与事实不符。
33. D 细节理解题。本题是问“谁想出这句话来的”，由第四段中的 “It was in a restaurant that
Anne wrote the phrase down on a piece of paper”可知，是Anne
Herbert想出这句话来的。可用排除法，Natalie Smith是在朋友的冰霜上看到的，Judy
Foreman是在仓库的墙上抄下来的，Alice Johnson是从她女儿那得知的，她女儿是因为Judy
Foreman的老公将此句写在教室的墙上而得知的，故不是这三个人想出来的。
34. C 推断句子意义。推断词、短语或句子意思，需结合上下文去理解。本段中先是Anne
Herbert解释她想出的那句话意为：你认为(生活中或世界上)应该多一些存在的事，那么你就随意去做这样的事。接说着她想象中的这类事包括“给破旧教室粉墙”“在穷人区的厨房里留下热饭”等善举。那么该段结尾的话“善举和暴力一样可以在它们自己的基础上建立起来”，其真正的含义是什么呢？再看看接下来这一段，特别是第一句“随意的善举是可以传播或蔓延”，可知“善举同暴力一样是可以自我繁衍的”，故选C。
35. B 推理判断题。由最后一段的第一和第二句可以推知：受到恩惠的人很可能会施惠于他人，将恩惠传播下去。
&Like many new graduates, I left university full
of hope for the future but with no real idea of what I wanted to
do. My degree, with honors, in English literature had not really prepared me for anything practical.
I knew I wanted to make a difference in the world somehow, but I
had no idea how to do that. That’s when I learned about the
Lighthouse Project.
&I started my journey as a Lighthouse Project
volunteer by reading as much as I could about the experiences of
previous volunteers. I knew it would be a lot of hard work, and
that I would be away from my family and friends for a very long
time. In short, I did not take my decision to
apply for the Lighthouse Project lightly. Neither did my
Eventually, however, I won the support of my family, and I
sent in all the paperwork needed for the application. After countless interviews and
presentations, I managed to stand out
among the candidates and survive the test alone. Several
months later, I finally received a call asking me to report for the
duty. I would be going to a small village near Abuja, Nigeria.
Where? What? Nigeria? I had no idea. But I was about to find
After completing my training, I was sent to the village that was
small and desperately in need of proper accommodation. Though the local villagers were poor, they offered their
homes, hearts, and food as if I were their own family. I was
asked to lead a small team of local people in building a new
schoolhouse. For the next year or so, I taught in that same
schoolhouse. But I sometimes think I learned more from my students
than they did from me.
Sometime during that period, I realized that
all those things that had seemed so strange or unusual to me no
longer did, though I did not get anywhere with the local
language, and returned to the United States a different man.
The Lighthouse Project had changed my life

本文作者叙述的是自己申请叫做灯塔计划的志愿者工作的过程和被选作志愿者后去阿布加附近的一个小村庄工作的经历，这段经历让作者学到了许多，改变了人生。
36. A 细节理解题。由第一段第二句 “My degree, with honors, in English
literature had not really prepared me for anything
practical”可知，作者的大学教育注重的是理解知识，选A。
37. A 推理判断题。由第二段最后一句In short, I did not take my decision to
apply for the Lighthouse Project lightly. Neither did my
family(总之，我并不是轻易决定申请灯塔计划的，我的家人也一样不是轻易决定的)和第三段首句Eventually, however,
I won the support of my
family(然而，最后我赢得了家人的赞同)可以推断出，作者是同家人讨论商量过的。
38.&D 推理判断题。由第二段的第二句 “After countless
interviews and presentations, I managed to stand out among the
candidates and survive the test
alone”可推知，作者面临了与其他候选人的激烈竞争，故选D。选项A“参加了许多讨论”，文中无信息支持，是无中生有，应排除；选项B“经历了富有挑点性的生存测试”，特别是由survival可知，编者题利用了文中的只言片语(survive,
test)，编造与文中不符的信息，迷惑考生，应排除；选项C“写了相当多的有关志愿者工作的论文”与文中“sent in all the
paperwork needed for the application(呈送申请所需要的文书)”不符，应排除。
39. C 细节理解题。由第四段Though the local villagers were poor, they
offered their homes, hearts, and food as if I were their own
family可知，一到达这个村庄时，他受到村民的热情接待，故选C。文中信息具体，正确选项是对其概括。
40. A 推理判断题。由最后一段第一句all those things that had seemed so strange
or unusual to me no longer did…and returned to the United States a
different man
(他当初觉得奇怪或不寻常的所有事现在都不再觉得奇怪了……回到美国已是另外一个人了)可知，作者已适应了当地习俗，与之前相比，作者变化相当大，由此推断，作者为了适应当地文化是不容易的，故选A。由though
I did not get anywhere with the local
language(虽然我没有学习当地语言并没有取得成效)可排除B(他学会了用当地语言进行交流)；选项C(在他回家前已经克服了所有的缺点)，文中既找不到任何信息依据，也因all使得此种说法过于绝对，应排除；选项C(他被选为最受尊敬的老师)在文中没有信息支持，应排除。
Scientists today are making greater effort to study ocean currents
(洋流). Most do it using satellites and other high-tech equipment.
However, ocean expert Curtis Ebbesmeyer does
it in a special way --- by studying movements of random floating
garbage. A scientist with many years’ experience, he started
this type of research in the early 1990s when he heard about
hundreds of athletic shoes washing up on the shores of the
northwest coast of the United States. There were so many shoes that
people were setting up swap meets to try and match left and
right shoes to sell or wear.
Ebbesmeyer found out in his researches that the shoes — about
60,000 in total — fell into the ocean in a shipping accident.
He phoned the shoe company and asked if they
wanted the shoes back. As expected, the company told him that they
didn't. Ebbesmeyer realized this could be a great
experiment. If he learned when and where the shoes went into
the water and tracked where they landed, he could learn a lot about
the patterns of ocean currents.
The Pacific Northwest is one of the world's best areas for
beachcombing(海滩搜寻) because winds and currents join here, and as a
result, there is a group of serious beachcombers in the area.
Ebbesmeyer got to know a lot of them and
asked for their help in collecting information about where the
shoes landed. In a year he collected reliable information on 1, 600
shoes. With this data, he and a colleague were able to test
and improve a computer program designed to model ocean currents,
and publish the findings of their study.
As the result of his work, Ebbesmeyer has
become known as the scientist to call with questions about any
unusual objects found floating in the ocean. He has even
started an association of beachcombers and ocean experts, with 500
subscribers from West Africa to New Zealand. They have recorded all
lost objects ranging from potatoes to golf gloves.
41. The underlined phrase swap
meets in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to.
A. fitting
rooms&&&&&&&&&&&&
B. trading fairs
C. business
talks&&&&&&&&&&
D. group meetings
42. Ebbesmeyer phoned the shoe company to find out
_____________.
A. what caused the shipping accident
B. when and where the shoes went missing
C. whether it was all right to use their
D. how much they lost in the shipping accident
43. How did Ebbesmeyer prove his assumption?
A. By collecting information from
beachcombers.
B. By studying the shoes found by beachcomber.
C. By searching the web for ocean currents models.
D. By researching ocean currents data in the library.
44. Ebbesmeyer is most famous for ___________________.
A. traveling widely the coastal cities of the world
B. making records for any lost objects on the sea
C. running a global currents research association
D. phoning about any doubtful objects on
45. What is the purpose of the author in writing this
A. To call people's attention to ocean pollution.
B. To warn people of shipping safety in the ocean.
C. To explain a unique way of studying
ocean currents.
D. To give tips on how to search for lost objects on the
本文是说明文，介绍了一种研究洋流的特别方式。
41. B 词义猜测题。由前面的so many shoes和后面的to try and match left and right
shoes to sell or wear，特别是sell，可知是建立交易市场，故选B。
42. C 细节理解题。由第二段二、三、四句 “He phoned the shoe company and asked if
they wanted the shoes back. As expected, the company told him that
they didn't. Ebbesmeyer realized this could be a great
experiment”可知，选C。
43. 细节理解题。由第三段第二句Ebbesmeyer got to know a lot of them (serious
beachcombers) and asked for their help in collecting information
about where the shoes landed及其后几句可知，选A，“通过海滩清理者收集信息”。
44. D 细节理解题。 选项D“打电话询问有关海上任何有疑问的物体的情况”与文中call with questions
about any unusual objects found floating in the
ocean(带着有关发现的海上漂浮的不寻常的物体的疑问打电话)意思相近，故选D。
选项A“广泛游走全世界的沿海城市”在文中没有信息支持，只是文中的the northwest coast of the United
States中出现了coast一词，应排除。
选项B“记录了海上任何丢失物”，过于绝对，虽然文中有about any unusual objects found floating
ocean(询问有关在海上找到的任何不寻常的漂浮物)，注意“发现的(found)”“漂浮(floating)”“不寻常的(unusual)”，而选项中没有这些定语，“海上丢失的任何物体”较文中信息的义域宽得多，应排除，考生注意，凡是含any,
all等过于绝对的选项，要重点核查文中是否有此支持它的信息，事实上，这类选项通常都是错误的。
选项C“管理一个全球洋流研究协会”与文中He has even started an association of
beachcombers and ocean experts(他甚至发起了一个海滨拾荒者与海洋专家协会)意思不同，应排除。
&&&&&&&45.
C 写作目的题，也属主旨大意题。文章主题句在第一段，即However, ocean expert Curtis Ebbesmeyer
does it in a special way---by studying movements of random floating
garbage，由此可知选C。
