答案與解析:
1.分析文章主題:An Early(早的, 早期的, 在初期) Form(形式) of Jazz Music(爵士音樂)
文章主題詞:Jazz Music, early form
2. 直接解題:
Music comes(出現(xiàn),到來,來(自)) in many(許多的) forms(形式); most countries (國家)have a style(風(fēng)格,文體) of their own(他們自己的).
補(bǔ)充:
of one’s own/某人自己的
1. A) while(在...的時候, 雖然) B) when(在...的時候, 什么時候,那時)
C) since(自從,自...以后, 因?yàn)椋?D) as(象, 因?yàn)椋?dāng)作)
2. A) music(音樂) B) songs(歌曲)
C) melodies(好聽的音調(diào)) D) tunes(曲調(diào),調(diào)子, 收聽)
At the turn of (在...之交)the last(最近的, 最后的, 持續(xù)) century(世紀(jì)), __ 1 __ jazz(爵士樂) was born(出生, 誕生), America(美國) had no prominent(卓越的, 突出的) __2__ of its own(它自己的).
1. B when jazz was born是定語從句,修飾 the turn of the last century(在上個世紀(jì)之交)。
考點(diǎn):定語從句
2. A 四個被選項(xiàng)詞義相關(guān)。選項(xiàng)A(Music)包括了其他的三個選項(xiàng), 因此A成為答案的可能性較大(提示1:如果某個被選項(xiàng)涵蓋了其他選項(xiàng), 則該被選項(xiàng)稱為答案的可能性較大)。 music出現(xiàn)在空格處句意通順:爵士樂誕生于上個世紀(jì)之交,那時美國還沒有屬于自己的杰出音樂。
考點(diǎn):詞義相關(guān)詞的辨析。
No one (沒有人)knows(知道, 分辨) exactly(正確地, 確切地,正好) when (it) was invented(被發(fā)明) or by whom(誰).
3. A) listened(聽,收聽)B) noticed(通知, 注意到)
C) heard(聽到, 聽說) D) found(找到, 發(fā)現(xiàn))
But(但是) it began to (開始)be __3__ in the early 1890s.
3. C 代詞it指代前句中的jazz(爵士樂), noticed和found都不能與音樂搭配,listen是不及物動詞,如果要用,也應(yīng)該有個to,所以答案是hear。
考點(diǎn):近義詞的辨析/代詞指代內(nèi)容的確定。
4. A) classical(古典的) B) sacred(神的, 宗教的)
C) popular(受歡迎的, 流行的, 大眾的) D) serious(嚴(yán)肅的, 認(rèn)真的)
Jazz is America(美國)’s contribution to(對...的貢獻(xiàn)) __4__ music.
4. C 接下來的句子對爵士樂進(jìn)行了介紹:爵士樂的特點(diǎn)是即興演奏, 形式自由。由此判斷爵士樂不屬于古典音樂,也不屬于嚴(yán)肅音樂, 與宗教也沒有關(guān)系,爵士樂屬于流行音樂, 因此爵士樂應(yīng)該對流行音樂做出貢獻(xiàn)。其實(shí)空格4所在的句子是觀點(diǎn)句,接下來的句子對此觀點(diǎn)進(jìn)行了解釋。
考點(diǎn):上下文之間的意義關(guān)系(觀點(diǎn) + 解釋)
5. A) introduces(介紹, 引進(jìn)) B) follows(遵循,跟隨, 理解)
C) takes(拿走, 占領(lǐng), 獲得) D) approaches(接近, 處理, 方法)
In contrast to (與...形成對比)classical music(古典音樂), which__5__ formal(刻板的,正式的, 形式的) European(歐洲的) traditions(傳統(tǒng), 慣例), jazz is spontaneous(自發(fā)的) and free(自由的, 免費(fèi)的) in form(形式, 形狀,表格).
B 空格所在的局部結(jié)構(gòu)(定語從句)說“古典音樂...刻板的歐洲傳統(tǒng)”, 由此判斷follow“遵循”是答案。
考點(diǎn):定語從句。
6. A) disclosing(揭露) B) explaining(解釋)
C) expressing(表達(dá)) D) exposing(揭露, 使暴露)
It bubbles(沸騰, 泡沫) with energy(活力,能量), it __6__ the moods(心情, 情緒), interests(興趣, 利息, 使產(chǎn)生興趣), and emotions(情感, 感情) of the people.
6. C 被選項(xiàng)A和C是近義詞:都具有“揭露”的詞義。而選項(xiàng)D的“使暴露”這個詞義放在空格中時空格所在的局部結(jié)構(gòu)(現(xiàn)在分詞結(jié)構(gòu))意義不通順,因此A和D都排除掉。 剩下的選項(xiàng)中只有B能與空格后出現(xiàn)的賓語moods,interests,emotions搭配通順,因此答案為expressing。
考點(diǎn):非謂語動詞結(jié)構(gòu)(分詞結(jié)構(gòu))
7. A) sounded(聲音,健全的, 可靠的, 聽起來) B) felt (摸, 觸, 感覺)
C) looked(看,注視,看起來,面容, 外表) D) seemed(看起來, 似乎)
In the 1920s jazz__7__ like(象,喜歡) America.
7. A 爵士是音樂,是有聲音的,所以只能選sounded,在二十世紀(jì)二十年代,爵士樂聽上去就像當(dāng)時的美國。
考點(diǎn):用法相似詞的辨析
And so(這樣,如此, 因而) it does today(今天,現(xiàn)今).
8. A) discoveries(發(fā)現(xiàn)) B) originals(最初的, 獨(dú)創(chuàng)的, 原作品)
C) resources(資源,財力) D) origins(起源, 起因)
The __8__ of the music are as interesting as (象...一樣的有趣)the music itself(本身).
8. D 選項(xiàng)B和D拼寫相似, 因此首先重點(diǎn)關(guān)注。D填入空格中搭配結(jié)構(gòu)意義通順:“the...of the music/這種音樂(jazz)的起源”,因此D可能是答案。 而接下來的句子在解釋爵士樂的起源,由此進(jìn)一步確認(rèn)答案為origins。
考點(diǎn): 拼寫形似詞的辨析/上下文之間的意義關(guān)系(觀點(diǎn) + 解釋)
American(美國的) Negroes(黑人), or(即,或者) blacks(黑人, 黑色), as(正如,與...一樣, 因?yàn)?) they are called(被稱為) today, were the jazz pioneers(先驅(qū),倡導(dǎo)者).
9. A) like(喜歡, 象, 例如) B) for(為了, 因?yàn)椋瑢τ冢?適合于) C) as(當(dāng)作, 與...一樣, 因?yàn)椋纾?D) by(通過,在...附近, 一句, 用)
They were brought to (被帶到)the Southern(南方的) states(州, 國家, 狀態(tài), 陳述) __9__ slaves(奴隸).
9. C被選項(xiàng)A和C相關(guān):like有“象”的詞義, 而as也可以表示“象...一樣”, 因此首先關(guān)注這兩個選項(xiàng)。Like表示“象”時是介詞, as表示“象”時是連接詞, 常常用在結(jié)構(gòu)“as...as.../象...一樣地...”中??崭裉幮枰樵~。初看起來, like(象)和as(作為)填入空格中句義均通順, 但實(shí)際上接下來的句子說“他們被賣給種植園的莊主” , 由此可知他們(美國黑人)是被作為奴隸帶到南方各州的。因此C是答案。
考點(diǎn):常見介詞的常見用法/上下文之間的意義關(guān)系。
They were sold to (被賣給)plantation(種植園) owners(所有者) and forced (被迫)to work long(長的, 長期的, 渴望) hours(小時).
10. A) composed((由…)組成,創(chuàng)作) B) formed (形成, 排列, 形狀)
C) hosted (主人,主持) D) demonstrated(演示, 示范)
When(在...的時候) a Negro died(死亡, 去世) his friends(朋友) and relatives(親戚)__10__ a procession(隊(duì)伍) to carry(運(yùn)送, 傳送) to body(尸體,身體) to the cemetery(墓地).
10.B 空格所在的局部搭配結(jié)構(gòu)說“他的朋友和親戚...一支隊(duì)伍”, 顯然formed“形成”出現(xiàn)在空格中時搭配結(jié)構(gòu)意義通順。compose雖然可以表示“組成”, 但該詞通常出現(xiàn)在“be composed of .../由...組成”的結(jié)構(gòu)中, 如:
The team is composed of two professors(教授) and three associate professors(副教授) . 這個小組由兩位教授和3位副教授組成。
考點(diǎn):常見動詞的辨析/詞義相關(guān)詞的辨析
11. A) body(身體, 尸體) B) demonstration(示范)
C) procession(隊(duì)伍) D) march(行軍, 前進(jìn), 三月)
In New Orleans(新奧爾良), a band(樂隊(duì), 帶子) often accompanied(陪伴, 伴奏) the __11__.
11.C body 和procession在前句中出現(xiàn)過,因此推測答案可能來自A或C。 空格所在的句子說“在新奧爾良, 總是有樂隊(duì)陪伴在...的旁邊”, 顯然陪伴在送葬隊(duì)伍的旁邊最恰當(dāng)。
考點(diǎn):上下文意義銜接詞。
12. A) Furthermore(此外,而且) B) Similarly(類似地)
C) But(但是) D) Therefore(因此)
On the way to (在去往...的路上)the cemetery(墓地) the band played(演奏,播放,玩 ) slow(緩慢的), solemn(嚴(yán)肅的) music suited to (適合...的)the occasion(場合, 時機(jī)). __ 12__ on the way home (在回家的路上)the mood(情緒) changed(改變, 變化).
12.C 空格所在的句子與前一句形成對比,所以應(yīng)該選But。
考點(diǎn):前后句之間的意義關(guān)系。
Spirits(情緒,精神, 靈魂) lifted(提高, 舉起, 電梯)
13. A) live(活的, 實(shí)況轉(zhuǎn)播的, 生活, 活著) B) alive(活著的, 活潑的)
C) life(生活,生命, 壽命) D) there(在那里)
Death(死亡) had removed one of (從...中除去/拿走...)their number(數(shù)字), but the living(活的,起作用的, 生活) were glad(高興的) to be __13__.
13.B 被選項(xiàng)A,B和C為同一家族詞匯, 尤其選項(xiàng)A 與選項(xiàng)B詞義相關(guān):A和B都可指代“活的”。 但是A用作形容詞, 表示“活的”時, 只能作定語修飾名詞,而不能做表語或補(bǔ)語。B是只能做表語或補(bǔ)語的形容詞。 空格處需要填入能做表語的詞匯, 因此判斷B可能是答案。 如果把B填入空格中, 則空格所在的局部結(jié)構(gòu)說“但是活著的人很高興他們還活著”, 顯然意義通順, 因此B是答案。
One/some of sb’s number formal 一群人中的某個人/一些人
考點(diǎn):拼寫相近詞的辨析
14. A) sad(悲哀的, 令人傷心的) B) solemn(嚴(yán)肅的,莊嚴(yán)的)
C) happy(快樂的, 幸福的) D) funeral(葬禮, 不愉快的事情)
15. A) sung(被唱, 被歌頌) B) showed(被出示, 被指示,被展出)
C) played(被播放, 被演奏,被進(jìn)行...比賽) D) expressed(被表達(dá))
The band played__14__ music, improvising on (即席創(chuàng)作)both the harmony(和聲,和諧) and the melody(悅耳的音調(diào) ) of the tunes(曲調(diào),調(diào)子) __15__ at the funeral(葬禮).
14.C 可以想象,在回家路上他們演奏的音樂一定是比較輕快的,所以選happy,另外三個選項(xiàng)都和happy的意義相悖。
考點(diǎn):上下文之間的意義關(guān)系
15.C 能和tunes搭配的只有sung和played兩個,但上文中提到在新奧爾良葬禮上總有一個樂隊(duì)在演奏,所以這里應(yīng)該選played而不是sung。
考點(diǎn):非謂語動詞結(jié)構(gòu)(過去分詞)

1. B when jazz was born是定語從句,修飾 the turn of the last century(在上個世紀(jì)之交)。
考點(diǎn):定語從句
2. A 四個被選項(xiàng)詞義相關(guān)。選項(xiàng)A(Music)包括了其他的三個選項(xiàng), 因此A成為答案的可能性較大(提示1:如果某個被選項(xiàng)涵蓋了其他選項(xiàng), 則該被選項(xiàng)稱為答案的可能性較大)。 music出現(xiàn)在空格處句意通順:爵士樂誕生于上個世紀(jì)之交,那時美國還沒有屬于自己的杰出音樂。
考點(diǎn):詞義相關(guān)詞的辨析。
No one (沒有人)knows(知道, 分辨) exactly(正確地, 確切地,正好) when (it) was invented(被發(fā)明) or by whom(誰).
3. A) listened(聽,收聽)B) noticed(通知, 注意到)

But(但是) it began to (開始)be __3__ in the early 1890s.
3. C 代詞it指代前句中的jazz(爵士樂), noticed和found都不能與音樂搭配,listen是不及物動詞,如果要用,也應(yīng)該有個to,所以答案是hear。
考點(diǎn):近義詞的辨析/代詞指代內(nèi)容的確定。
4. A) classical(古典的) B) sacred(神的, 宗教的)
C) popular(受歡迎的, 流行的, 大眾的) D) serious(嚴(yán)肅的, 認(rèn)真的)

考點(diǎn):上下文之間的意義關(guān)系(觀點(diǎn) + 解釋)
5. A) introduces(介紹, 引進(jìn)) B) follows(遵循,跟隨, 理解)

B 空格所在的局部結(jié)構(gòu)(定語從句)說“古典音樂...刻板的歐洲傳統(tǒng)”, 由此判斷follow“遵循”是答案。
考點(diǎn):定語從句。
6. A) disclosing(揭露) B) explaining(解釋)
C) expressing(表達(dá)) D) exposing(揭露, 使暴露)
It bubbles(沸騰, 泡沫) with energy(活力,能量), it __6__ the moods(心情, 情緒), interests(興趣, 利息, 使產(chǎn)生興趣), and emotions(情感, 感情) of the people.
6. C 被選項(xiàng)A和C是近義詞:都具有“揭露”的詞義。而選項(xiàng)D的“使暴露”這個詞義放在空格中時空格所在的局部結(jié)構(gòu)(現(xiàn)在分詞結(jié)構(gòu))意義不通順,因此A和D都排除掉。 剩下的選項(xiàng)中只有B能與空格后出現(xiàn)的賓語moods,interests,emotions搭配通順,因此答案為expressing。
考點(diǎn):非謂語動詞結(jié)構(gòu)(分詞結(jié)構(gòu))
7. A) sounded(聲音,健全的, 可靠的, 聽起來) B) felt (摸, 觸, 感覺)

The __8__ of the music are as interesting as (象...一樣的有趣)the music itself(本身).
8. D 選項(xiàng)B和D拼寫相似, 因此首先重點(diǎn)關(guān)注。D填入空格中搭配結(jié)構(gòu)意義通順:“the...of the music/這種音樂(jazz)的起源”,因此D可能是答案。 而接下來的句子在解釋爵士樂的起源,由此進(jìn)一步確認(rèn)答案為origins。
考點(diǎn): 拼寫形似詞的辨析/上下文之間的意義關(guān)系(觀點(diǎn) + 解釋)
American(美國的) Negroes(黑人), or(即,或者) blacks(黑人, 黑色), as(正如,與...一樣, 因?yàn)?) they are called(被稱為) today, were the jazz pioneers(先驅(qū),倡導(dǎo)者).

They were brought to (被帶到)the Southern(南方的) states(州, 國家, 狀態(tài), 陳述) __9__ slaves(奴隸).
9. C被選項(xiàng)A和C相關(guān):like有“象”的詞義, 而as也可以表示“象...一樣”, 因此首先關(guān)注這兩個選項(xiàng)。Like表示“象”時是介詞, as表示“象”時是連接詞, 常常用在結(jié)構(gòu)“as...as.../象...一樣地...”中??崭裉幮枰樵~。初看起來, like(象)和as(作為)填入空格中句義均通順, 但實(shí)際上接下來的句子說“他們被賣給種植園的莊主” , 由此可知他們(美國黑人)是被作為奴隸帶到南方各州的。因此C是答案。
考點(diǎn):常見介詞的常見用法/上下文之間的意義關(guān)系。
They were sold to (被賣給)plantation(種植園) owners(所有者) and forced (被迫)to work long(長的, 長期的, 渴望) hours(小時).
10. A) composed((由…)組成,創(chuàng)作) B) formed (形成, 排列, 形狀)

10.B 空格所在的局部搭配結(jié)構(gòu)說“他的朋友和親戚...一支隊(duì)伍”, 顯然formed“形成”出現(xiàn)在空格中時搭配結(jié)構(gòu)意義通順。compose雖然可以表示“組成”, 但該詞通常出現(xiàn)在“be composed of .../由...組成”的結(jié)構(gòu)中, 如:

11. A) body(身體, 尸體) B) demonstration(示范)

In New Orleans(新奧爾良), a band(樂隊(duì), 帶子) often accompanied(陪伴, 伴奏) the __11__.
11.C body 和procession在前句中出現(xiàn)過,因此推測答案可能來自A或C。 空格所在的句子說“在新奧爾良, 總是有樂隊(duì)陪伴在...的旁邊”, 顯然陪伴在送葬隊(duì)伍的旁邊最恰當(dāng)。
考點(diǎn):上下文意義銜接詞。
12. A) Furthermore(此外,而且) B) Similarly(類似地)
C) But(但是) D) Therefore(因此)
On the way to (在去往...的路上)the cemetery(墓地) the band played(演奏,播放,玩 ) slow(緩慢的), solemn(嚴(yán)肅的) music suited to (適合...的)the occasion(場合, 時機(jī)). __ 12__ on the way home (在回家的路上)the mood(情緒) changed(改變, 變化).
12.C 空格所在的句子與前一句形成對比,所以應(yīng)該選But。
考點(diǎn):前后句之間的意義關(guān)系。
Spirits(情緒,精神, 靈魂) lifted(提高, 舉起, 電梯)
13. A) live(活的, 實(shí)況轉(zhuǎn)播的, 生活, 活著) B) alive(活著的, 活潑的)
C) life(生活,生命, 壽命) D) there(在那里)
Death(死亡) had removed one of (從...中除去/拿走...)their number(數(shù)字), but the living(活的,起作用的, 生活) were glad(高興的) to be __13__.
13.B 被選項(xiàng)A,B和C為同一家族詞匯, 尤其選項(xiàng)A 與選項(xiàng)B詞義相關(guān):A和B都可指代“活的”。 但是A用作形容詞, 表示“活的”時, 只能作定語修飾名詞,而不能做表語或補(bǔ)語。B是只能做表語或補(bǔ)語的形容詞。 空格處需要填入能做表語的詞匯, 因此判斷B可能是答案。 如果把B填入空格中, 則空格所在的局部結(jié)構(gòu)說“但是活著的人很高興他們還活著”, 顯然意義通順, 因此B是答案。
One/some of sb’s number formal 一群人中的某個人/一些人
考點(diǎn):拼寫相近詞的辨析
14. A) sad(悲哀的, 令人傷心的) B) solemn(嚴(yán)肅的,莊嚴(yán)的)
C) happy(快樂的, 幸福的) D) funeral(葬禮, 不愉快的事情)
15. A) sung(被唱, 被歌頌) B) showed(被出示, 被指示,被展出)
C) played(被播放, 被演奏,被進(jìn)行...比賽) D) expressed(被表達(dá))
The band played__14__ music, improvising on (即席創(chuàng)作)both the harmony(和聲,和諧) and the melody(悅耳的音調(diào) ) of the tunes(曲調(diào),調(diào)子) __15__ at the funeral(葬禮).
14.C 可以想象,在回家路上他們演奏的音樂一定是比較輕快的,所以選happy,另外三個選項(xiàng)都和happy的意義相悖。
考點(diǎn):上下文之間的意義關(guān)系
15.C 能和tunes搭配的只有sung和played兩個,但上文中提到在新奧爾良葬禮上總有一個樂隊(duì)在演奏,所以這里應(yīng)該選played而不是sung。
考點(diǎn):非謂語動詞結(jié)構(gòu)(過去分詞)
This music made everyone(每個人) want to (想要)dance(跳舞). It was an early(早期的, 早先的) form(形式) of jazz(爵士樂).
