【C12】
选项 A、players
B、followers
C、fans
D、pioneers
答案D
解析 本填空需要考生对原文信息准确把握。从表面上看，四个选项在语法、意义上都可以，但我们需要从中选出最符合原文的选项。本填空所在的第二段的首句是总述句，已经概括出了本段的主题是谈论爵士乐的origins(起源)。如果考生准确把握了这个主题，本题目的答案明显是选项D)pioneers(先锋，先驱者)，因为只有这个选项与本段主题最相关。既然是谈论origins(起源)，当然最可能提到这种音乐的“始作俑者”，即pioneers(先锋，先驱者)。其他几个选项均不如pioneers准确。本题目是一道可以应用无关词排除法解出的题目。
