【要点综述】这是一篇人物传记。

文章主要讲述了美国著名作曲家乔治·格什温的生平以及他在音乐方面的巨大贡献。

61．D　考查细节理解。

从第二段的¡°Overtheyearstheyhavebeensungandplayedineverypossibleway—fromjazztocountry.¡±可知，乔治·格什温的音乐作品是以各种形式演唱或演奏的。

故选D。

62．B　考查推理判断。

根据第三段的¡°Gershwinhimselfplayedthepianoattheconcert.Theaudiencewerethrilledwhentheyheardhismusic.Itmadehimworld－famousandshowedthatjazzmusiccouldbebothseriousandpopular.¡±可知，这个音乐会充分证明爵士音乐流行的同时，也可以庄重、严肃。

63．A　考查细节理解。

从第四段的第二句可知B项不正确；从第四段的“Whenitwasfirstperformed,criticsweredividedoverthemusic.”可知，不是格什温与评论家争辩，故C项不正确；没有提到他音乐风格的改变，故D项不正确；从第四段的最后一句“Itstillremainsoneofhismostfamousworks.”可知A项是正确的。

64．B　考查推理判断。

从最后一段的“Newspapersallovertheworldreportedhisdeathontheirfrontpages.”可知，世界各地的报纸对格什温的去世进行了广泛的报道。

故选B。

65．A　考查推理判断。

从全文看乔治·格什温创作了很多的音乐，其演奏的形式多样化，并得到观众赞赏，这体现了他是一位很有才华，且多产的作曲家。

故选A。

【要点综述】本文是一篇记叙文。

作者通过描述自己小时候渴望得到一枚戒指，愿望得到满足后的快乐心情，以及不慎丢失后的沮丧心情和多年后失而复得的欣喜，表达了作者怀旧和敝帚自珍的生活态度。

56．A　词义猜测题。

根据后一句¡°¡everygirlexceptmehadone¡¡±可知，每个女孩都有一枚有自己符号的戒指，说明这类戒指很流行。

故答案选A。

57．D　推理判断题。

根据原文我们得知，作者在13岁生日时得到那枚戒指，一个月后丢失，两年后卖掉房子，新房东买房13年之后换新地毯时重新找到戒指，即十五年之后，故答案为D。

58．A　细节理解题。

根据第三段末尾和第四段开头可知答案A正确。

59．B　主旨大意题。

只有B项才能概括全文大意。

本文主要讲述了戒指的失而复得。
