答案与解析:

1.分析文章主题:An Early(早的, 早期的, 在初期) Form(形式) of Jazz Music(爵士音乐)

文章主题词:Jazz Music, early form

2. 直接解题:

Music comes(出现,到来,来(自)) in many(许多的) forms(形式); most countries (国家)have a style(风格,文体) of their own(他们自己的).
补充:
of one’s own/某人自己的

1.   A)  while(在...的时候, 虽然)     B)  when(在...的时候, 什么时候,那时)
C)  since(自从,自...以后, 因为)       D)  as(象, 因为,当作)

2.   A)  music(音乐)        B)  songs(歌曲)       
C)  melodies(好听的音调)    D)  tunes(曲调,调子, 收听)

At the turn of (在...之交)the last(最近的, 最后的, 持续) century(世纪), __ 1 __ jazz(爵士乐) was born(出生, 诞生), America(美国) had no prominent(卓越的, 突出的) __2__ of its own(它自己的).

1.  B  when jazz was born是定语从句,修饰  the turn of the last century(在上个世纪之交)。

考点:定语从句

2. A  四个被选项词义相关。选项A(Music)包括了其他的三个选项, 因此A成为答案的可能性较大(提示1:如果某个被选项涵盖了其他选项, 则该被选项称为答案的可能性较大)。 music出现在空格处句意通顺:爵士乐诞生于上个世纪之交,那时美国还没有属于自己的杰出音乐。
考点:词义相关词的辨析。

No one (没有人)knows(知道, 分辨) exactly(正确地, 确切地,正好) when (it) was invented(被发明) or by whom(谁).

3.   A)  listened(听,收听)B)  noticed(通知, 注意到)     
C)  heard(听到, 听说)        D)  found(找到, 发现)

But(但是)  it began to (开始)be __3__ in the early 1890s.

3.  C    代词it指代前句中的jazz(爵士乐), noticed和found都不能与音乐搭配,listen是不及物动词,如果要用,也应该有个to,所以答案是hear。

考点:近义词的辨析/代词指代内容的确定。

4.   A)  classical(古典的)      B)  sacred(神的, 宗教的)      
C)  popular(受欢迎的, 流行的, 大众的)     D)  serious(严肃的, 认真的)

Jazz is America(美国)’s contribution to(对...的贡献) __4__ music.

4.  C    接下来的句子对爵士乐进行了介绍:爵士乐的特点是即兴演奏, 形式自由。由此判断爵士乐不属于古典音乐,也不属于严肃音乐, 与宗教也没有关系,爵士乐属于流行音乐, 因此爵士乐应该对流行音乐做出贡献。其实空格4所在的句子是观点句,接下来的句子对此观点进行了解释。

考点:上下文之间的意义关系(观点 + 解释)

5.   A)  introduces(介绍, 引进)     B)  follows(遵循,跟随, 理解)     
C)  takes(拿走, 占领, 获得)  D)  approaches(接近, 处理, 方法)
In contrast to (与...形成对比)classical music(古典音乐), which__5__ formal(刻板的,正式的, 形式的) European(欧洲的) traditions(传统, 惯例), jazz is spontaneous(自发的) and free(自由的, 免费的) in form(形式, 形状,表格).

B    空格所在的局部结构(定语从句)说“古典音乐...刻板的欧洲传统”, 由此判断follow“遵循”是答案。

考点:定语从句。
