问题     Music comes in many forms; most countries have a style of their own.【C1】the turn of the last century when jazz (爵士乐) was born, America had no prominent【C2】of its own. No one knows exactly when jazz was【C3】. or by whom, but it began to be【C4】in the early 1900s. Jazz is America’s contribution to【C5】music. In contrast to classical music, which【C6】formal European traditions, jazz is a spontaneous and free form. It bubbles with energy,【C7】the mood, interest, and emotions of the people. In the 1920s jazz【C8】like America, and【C9】it does today.
    The【C10】of this music are as interesting as the music【C11】. American Negroes, or blacks, as they are called today, were the jazz【C12】. They were brought to Southern States【C13】slaves. They were sold to plantation owners and forced to work long【C14】. When a Negro died his friends and relatives【C15】a procession to carry the body to the cemetery. In New Orleans, a band often accompanied the【C16】. On the way to the cemetery the band played slow, solemn music suited to the occasion.【C17】on the way home the mood changed. Spirits lifted. Death had removed one of their【C18】, but the living were glad to be alive. The band played【C19】music, improvising (即兴表演) on both the harmony and the melody of the tunes【C20】at the funeral. This music made everyone want to dance. It was an early form of jazz.
【C18】
选项 A、number
B、members
C、bodies
D、relations
答案A
解析 语义衔接题。one of their number意为“他们当中的一个”，其中number意为“(人或单位的)总和、全体”，故A)number为答案。B)members为强干扰项，其意为“……的成员”时，侧重“个体”，而number侧重于“全体、整体”。body意为“团体，群体”时，一般用单数形式，常用body of的形式，故排除C)。D)relations意为“亲戚”，可以同one of．．．结构连用，但此处泛泛而谈美国黑人的葬礼风俗，而不是谈美国黑人家族中的丧葬习俗，死者并不一定是参加葬礼者的亲戚，故排除D)。
