The【C3】______ of this music are as interesting as the music itself. Jazz was【C4】______ 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【C5】______. When a Negro died his friends and relatives formed a procession【C6】______ the body to the cemetery.
A band often【C7】______ the procession. On the way to the cemetery the band played slow, solemn music suited to the【C8】______. But on the way home the【C9】______ changed. Spirits lifted. Everybody was happy. Death had removed one of their number,【C10】______ the living were glad to be alive.

This music【C14】______ on religious ceremonies【C15】______ dancing, singing, clapping, and stamping to the【C16】______ of a drum were important forms of musical and rhythmic【C17】______.

【C19】
选项
A、retrieved
B、restored
C、repelled
D、retained
答案
D
解析
动词辨析题。本段首句提到音乐在黑人生活中一直(has always been)很重要,由此可知他们在开始南方种植园的生活后,音乐仍然重要。D项retained“保留”符合这种语义关系,故为答案。而retrieve“重新得到,挽回,检索”和restore“恢复,修复,整修”与“一直重要”不相符;repel“使厌恶,驱除,排斥”与句意无关。
