Considering how jazz is transcribed in Chinese (jueshi), you may be【C1】______ into assuming that it is an aristocratic cultural form. Nothing could be further from the truth. It【C2】______among black Americans at the end of the 19th century, at a time when they occupied the very【C3】______of the American social heap.
So how has something that was created by a once downtrodden and【C4】______minority acquired a central place in today’s American culture? Mr. Darrell A Jenks, director of the American Center for Educational Exchange, and also a drummer in the jazz band Window, analyses the phenomenon for us here. Jazz: the【C5】______of America.
Perhaps the essence of America is that you could never get two Americans to agree on just what that might be. After thinking about it for a while, we might chuckle and say, "Hmm, seems like being American is a bit more complicated than we thought." Certainly things like【C6】______, success (the "American Dream" ), innovation and tolerance stand out. But these things come together because of our ability to work with one another and find common purpose no matter how we might be【C7】______.
Some, like African-American writer Ralph Ellison, believe that jazz【C8】______ the essence of America. For good reason, for in jazz all of the characteristics I mentioned above come together. The solos are a celebration of individual brilliance that can’t take place without the group efforts of the rhythm section. Beyond that, though, jazz has a connection to the essence of America in a much more fundamental【C9】______. It is an expression of the African【C10】______of American culture, a musical medium that exemplifies the culture of the Africans whose culture came to dominate much of what is American.
A. diverse B. distinctive C. bottom D. trapped
E. soul F. way G. misled H. captures
I. despised J. originated K. culture L. individualism
M. roots N. top O. acquires [br] 【C5】
选项
答案
E
解析
soul,词义辨析题。根据词性,此处应当填入名词。从语义上判断可选范围为“culture,soul”,但Jazz is the culture of America“爵士乐是美国文化”从逻辑上来说并不准确,因为一种音乐不能代表一种文化,而只能是文化的一部分。同时根据下文“…jazz has a connection to the essence of America…”,可见爵士不仅是美国文化的一部分,更是美国的本质特征,所以接近的词汇应当是soul“灵魂”。
