注释
1.jazz is spontaneous and free in form 爵士乐是自发的,不拘形式
2.death had removed one of their number 死亡带走了他们中的一员,number这里是总和、全体
3....improvising on both the harmony and the melody of the tunes 根据曲调的和声和旋律即兴演奏
答案与解析:
1.B 这里at the turn of the century表示的是 在本世纪初 这一具体时间,只有at可以用在这里。
2.D 根据上文所说的大多数国家都有自己的音乐风格(style),而美国却没有自己突出的,后面也应该是风格,故选style。
3.C 本句意为没有人知道爵士乐是什么时候发明的,由谁发明的。discover 发现,act行动,扮演,invent发明,design设计 。故选invent。
4.D 这里是说爵士乐被听到,所以用heard.Listen的意思是 听 ,而且句末须接介词to,A),B)两项意思不符。
5.C popular music是指 流行音乐 ,与classical music(古典音乐)相对。爵士乐(jazz)是流行音乐的一种,故选popular。
6.B 此句意为古典音乐遵循正规的欧洲传统。form形成,follow遵循,approach接近,靠近,introduce引进,介绍。
7.A express表达,与后面的宾语moods(情绪)、interests(兴趣)、以及emotions(感情)相搭配。explain解释,说明,expose揭露,使暴露,illustrate阐明。
8.D 本句意为 在20世纪20年代,爵士乐听起来象是美国风格 。只有sound有 听起来 的意思。其他三个词都无此意。
9.A 本句意为 就象爵士乐今天的样子 ,as意为 正如,就象 ,后面接一个句子。
10.A origins起源,起始,originals原作,原物,discoveries发现,resources资源。此处句意为 爵士乐的起源 。故选A。
11.B 本句意为 音乐的起源和音乐本身一样有趣。故此处应选择反身代词itself。
12.D 本句意为 美国的黑奴是爵士乐的先锋 。players演奏者,followers追随者,fans(爵士乐)迷,pioneers先锋,开拓者 。
13.B 本句意为 他们被作为奴隶带到南部各州 。只有as,意为 作为 ,介词,符合此意。
14.C 本句意为 黑奴们被卖给南方种植园主们而且被迫在地里长时间地劳动。long一般不与months和weeks搭配,hours指工作时间,times指次数或倍数,当一段时间讲时是不可数名词,故只可选hours。
15.D demonstrate 论证,说明,示威,compose后接介词of,组成,host 款待,作乐,form与procession搭配,意为 形成队列 。故选D。
16.B 上句提到形成队列,本句意为这样的队列经常伴随有一支乐队,故选上文提到的procession。
17.D 上句说:在去墓地的路上,乐队演奏缓慢的、庄重的音乐以便和悲痛的场合相配合。而本句说:在回来的路上,情绪变化了。所以这两句之间应该是转折的关系。因此选择but。
18.D 本句意为 死神夺去了他们的一个亲人,但活着的人高兴他们还活着 。relations意为 亲戚 。故选D。
19.C 这里选择happy,以便和上句中提到的slow和solemn相对应。
20.C whistled吹口哨,sung唱,presented表演,showed展示,只有presented才能和improvising相搭配。
