语篇解读：本文主要介绍了美国爵士乐的相关情况。 1．A.By C．In
B．At D．On
解析：选B 习语搭配题。这里at the turn of the century表示的是在“世纪初”这一具体时间，只有at可以用在这里。
2．A.music
B．song
C．melody D．style
解析：选D 词汇复现题。根据上文所说的大多数国家都有自己的音乐风格(style)，可知后面也应该是风格，故选style。
3．A.discovered C．invented
B．acted D．designed
解析：选C 词语辨析题。本句意为“没有人确切地知道爵士乐是什么时候发明的或由谁发明的”。discover意为“发现”；act意为“行动，扮演”；invent意为“发明”；design意为“设计”。故选C。
4．A.noticed C．listened
B．found D．heard
解析：选D 词语辨析题。这里是说爵士乐被听到，所以用heard。listen的意思是“听”，而且须接介词to，A、B两项意思不符。
5．A.classical C．popular
B．sacred D．light
解析：选C 背景常识题。popular music指“流行音乐”，与classical music(古典音乐)相对。爵士乐(jaZZ)是流行音乐的一种，故选popular。
6．A.forms C．approaches
B．follows D．introduces
解析：选B 词语辨析题。此处意为“古典音乐遵循正规的欧洲传统”。form意为“形成”；follow意为“遵循”；approach意为“接近，靠近”；introduce意为“引进，介绍”。
7．A.expressing C．exposing
B．explaining D．illustrating
解析：选A 词语辨析题。express意为“表达”，与后面的宾语moods(情绪)、interests(爱好)以及emotions(感情)相搭配。explain意为“解释，说明”；expose意为“揭露，使暴露”；illustrate意为“阐明”。
8．A.appeared C．seemed
B．felt D．sounded
解析：选D 词语辨析题。此处意为“在20世纪20年代，爵士乐听起来像是美国风格”。只有sound有“听起来”的意思，其他三个词都无此意。
9．A.as C．either
B．so D．neither
解析：选A 词语辨析题。此处意为“就像爵士乐今天的样子”。as意为“正如，就像”，后面接一个句子。
10．A.origins C．discoveries
B．originals D．resources
解析：选A 逻辑推理题。origin意为“起源，起始”；original意为“原作，原件”；discovery意为“发现”；resource意为“资源”。此处意为“爵士乐的起源”。故选A。
11．A.himself C．themselves
B．itself D．oneself
解析：选B 逻辑推理题。本句意为“这种音乐的起源和音乐本身一样有趣”。故此处应选择反身代词itself。
12．A.players C．fans
B．followers D．pioneers
解析：选D 逻辑推理题。本句意为“美国的黑人是爵士乐的先锋”。player意为“演奏者”；follower意为“追随者”；fan意为“(爵士乐)迷”；pioneer意为“先锋，开拓者”。
13．A.for C．with
B．as D．by
解析：选B 背景常识题。本句意为“他们被作为奴隶带到南部各州”。只有介词as意为“作为”，符合此意。
14．A.months C．hours
B．weeks D．times
解析：选C 背景常识题。本句意为“他们被卖给南方种植园主们而且被迫长时间劳动”。long一般不与month和week搭配；hour此处指工作时间；times此处指次数或倍数，故只可选 hours。
15．A.demonstrated C．hosted
B．composed D．formed
解析：选D 习语搭配题。demonstrate意为“论证，说明，示威”；compose意为“组成，构成(一个整体)”；host意为“款待，主持”；form与procession搭配，意为“形成队
