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.

【C6】

选项 A、forms
B、follows
C、approaches
D、introduces

答案B

解析 语义衔接题。此处which引导的非限定性定语从句修饰classical music,即古典音乐,这里指西方古典音乐;此外,所填动词的宾语为traditions,从历史的角度看,西方音乐起源于欧洲,西方古典音乐自然要遵循欧洲的传统,由此可知,答案应为B)follows。A)forms“形成,构成”、C)approaches“接近;动手处理”、D)introduces“介绍”都不能与tradition形成语义场共现。
