As defined by Greek philosophers and ancient Indian philosophers, music is viewed as tones ordered horizontally as melodies and vertically as harmonies.

选项
A、music
B、song
C、style
D、melody
答案
C
解析
篇章理解。music意为“音乐”,song意为“歌曲”,melody意为“旋律”,style意为“风格”。根据上文most countries have a style of their own可看出,本句意思是“爵士乐出现的那个世纪之初,美国在音乐方面还没有自己突出的风格”,因此选C。美国早期虽没有自己风格的音乐,但也有音乐存在,故可排除A。
