【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。
