To many people in many cultures, music plays an important part in their way of life. Music comes in many forms, and most countries have a style of their own.【C1】______the turn of the century when jazz 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, the art of expression, is spontaneous and free-form. As the fundamental rhythms of human life and man’s contemporary reassessment of his traditional values, jazz bubbles with energy,【C7】______the moods, interests 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】______The early influences of tribal drums and the development of gospel, blues and field hollers seems to point out that jazz has to do with human survival and the expression of life. American blacks, as they are called today, were the jazz【C12】______. They were brought to the Southern states【C13】______slaves. They were sold to plantation owners and forced to work long【C14】______. When they died, their 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 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.
【C19】
选项
A、happy
B、solemn
C、funeral
D、sad
答案
A
解析
篇章理解。根据上下文glad to be alive可知,这里应该与前文中slow,solemn等词的意思相反,故选A。其他选项中,solemn意为“庄严的,庄重的”,funeral为名词,意为“葬礼”,sad意为“悲伤的”,均不符合句意。
