 Cloze Test 15

  1.【答案】B

  ),而美国却没有自己突出的,后面也应该是风格,故选style。


  3.【答案】C

  4.【答案】D


  【解析】这里是说爵士乐被听到,所以用heard。Listen的意思是“听”,而且句末须接介词to,A),B)两项意思不符。


  5.【答案】C


  【解析】popular music是指“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.【答案】B


  【解析】此句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.【答案】A

  8.【答案】D


  【解析】本句意为“在20世纪20年代,爵士乐听起来象是美国风格”。只有sound有“听起来”的意思。其他三个词都无此意。


  9.【答案】A


  【解析】本句意为“就象爵士乐今天的样子”,as意为“正如,就象”,后面接一个句子。


  10.【答案】A


  【解析】origins意为“起源,起始”,originals意为“原作,原物”,discoveries意为“发现”,resources意为“资源”。此处句意为“爵士乐的起源”。故选A。


  11.【答案】B


  【解析】本句意为“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.【答案】D


  【解析】本句意为“美国的黑奴是爵士乐的先锋”。players意为“演奏者”,followers意为“追随者”,fans意为“(爵士乐)迷”,pioneers意为“先锋,开拓者”。


  13.【答案】B


  【解析】本句意为“他们被作为奴隶带到南部各州”。只有as,意为“作为”,介词,符合此意。


  14.【答案】C


  【解析】本句意为“黑奴们被卖给南方种植园主们而且被迫在地里长时间地劳动。long一般不与months和weeks搭配,hours指工作时间,times指次数或倍数,当一段时间讲时是不可数名词,故只可选hours。

  【解析】demonstrate意为“论证,说明,示威”,compose后接介词of,意为“组成”,host意为“款待,作乐”,form与procession搭配,意为“形成队列”。故选D。


  16.【答案】B


  【解析】上句提到形成队列,本句意为这样的队列经常伴随有一支乐队,故选上文提到的procession。


  17.【答案】D


  【解析】上句说:在去墓地的路上,乐队演奏缓慢的、庄重的音乐以便和悲痛的场合相配合。而本句说:在回来的路上,情绪变化了。所以这两句之间应该是转折的关系。因此选择but。


  18.【答案】D


  【解析】本句意为“死神夺去了他们的一个亲人,但活着的人高兴他们还活着”。relations意为“亲戚”。故选D。


  19.【答案】C


  【解析】这里选择happy,以便和上句中提到的slow和solemn相对应。
