1. 關(guān)于格什溫的許多音樂作品,需要找到描述其作品表演方式的句子。
2. 關(guān)于惠特曼組織的音樂會(huì),需要找到描述音樂會(huì)目的和結(jié)果的句子。

5. 關(guān)于描述格什溫的最佳詞匯,需要綜合文章中對(duì)他的描述和成就進(jìn)行歸納。
【答案】:
1. D。根據(jù)文章中的“Many of his songs have remained popular as ever. Over the years they have been sung and played in every possible way—from jazz music to country music.”可知,格什溫的許多音樂作品以各種方式表演,因此D選項(xiàng)正確。
2. B。根據(jù)文章中的“In 1924 jazz musician and orchestra leader Paul Whitman decided to organize a special concert to show that jazz was serious music.”和“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.”可知,惠特曼組織的音樂會(huì)證明了爵士樂可以是嚴(yán)肅的音樂,因此B選項(xiàng)正確。
3. A。根據(jù)文章中的“While there, Gershwin wrote An American in Paris.”可知,格什溫在巴黎期間創(chuàng)作了他的最佳作品之一《一個(gè)美國人在巴黎》,因此A選項(xiàng)正確。
4. B。根據(jù)文章中的“George Gershwin died in 1937, just days after doctors learned he had brain cancer. Newspapers all over the world reported his death on their front pages.”可知,格什溫的去世被廣泛報(bào)道,因此B選項(xiàng)正確。
5. A。根據(jù)文章中對(duì)格什溫的描述和成就,可以用“Talented and productive”(有才華且多產(chǎn)的)來描述他,因此A選項(xiàng)正確。
