The First Mass of Lent is the Mass on Ash Wednesday, at which ashes are imposed on the foreheads of the faithful after the homily. It has no special name, and despite the fact that it isn't even a Feast or a Solemnity, it has two readings before the Gospel, like a Solemnity (in the old Calendar it carried the rank of First Class-apparently it has no ranking at all anymore, not even that of an optional memorial, rather strange).

What are 2 parts of Mass that are not used during Lent?

The only "part" of the Mass omitted during Lent is the Gloria, a prayer normally used after the penitential rite near the the beginning of the Mass. This is the prayer that begins "Glory to God in the highest..." The other thing different about Mass in Lent is the suppression of the word "Alleluia". This one word is used (sometimes repeated 2 or 3 times) just prior to the proclamation of the Gospel. Hymns are sometimes used at Mass (though these are not technically part of the Mass). If a hymn contains the word "Alleluia" it is also not used during Lent.
