   Jazz is America’s contribution to popular music. In contrast to classical music, which follows formal European traditions, jazz is 【C1】______ and free-form.
   The 【C2】______ of this music are as interesting as the music itself. Jazz was invented by American Negroes, who were brought to the Southern states as slaves. They were sold to plantation owners and forced to work long hours in the cotton and tobacco fields. This work was hard and life was short. When a Negro died his friends and relatives formed a procession to carry the body to the cemetery.
   A band often 【C3】______ the procession. On the way to the cemetery the band played slow, solemn music suited to the occasion. But on the way home the 【C4】______ changed. Spirits lifted. Everybody was happy. Death had 【C5】______ one of their members, but the living were glad to be alive. The band played happy music, improvising on both the harmony and the melody of the tunes presented at the funeral. This music made everyone want to dance. It was an early 【C6】______of jazz.
   Music has always been important in Negro life. Coming 【C7】______ from West Africa, the blacks who were brought to America already 【C8】______ a rich musical tradition. This music centered on religious ceremonies in which dancing, singing, clapping, and stamping to the beat of a drum were important forms of musical and 【C9】______ expression. As these people settled into their new life in the plantations of the South, music 【C10】______ its importance. In the fields, they made up work songs. Singing made the hard work go faster.
【C5】
选项
答案J
解析 had one of their members语义不通，由此判断had为助动词，空格需填入过去分词。本句意为“死神已经……他们当中的一个成员，但活下来的人却庆幸还能活着”，removed填入句子，意为“夺走”，句意通顺且符合上下文语义，故选J。
