【C7】

选项 A、expressing
B、explaining
C、exposing
D、illustrating

答案A

解析 本填空在原文已知信息中有明显的提示线索,前一句话“jazz is spontaneous and freeform”已经对爵士乐的特征进行了描述,即“spontaneous and free-form(即兴和不拘一格)”。本填空所在句子的主语为代词It,指的就是jazz,而且本填空要求考生选择一个表达动作的分词,该分词的宾语为“moods,interests,and emotions of the people(人们的情绪、兴趣和情感)”,所以四个选项中最佳的为选项A)expressing(表达)。选项B)explaining(解释,说明)不合适;选项C)exposing犯了动宾搭配褒贬不一致的错误,因为exposing(曝光)是贬义词,而宾语却是褒义词;D)illustrating(显示,说明)也不符合本填空的意思。
