阅读理解

    Music is the result of thought in the form of attitude．There is no one way of thinking，since men’s values are as scattered and dissimilar as individual men themselves．If black music can be seen as the result of certain attitudes，certain specific ways of thinking about the world，then my basic hypothesis about music is understood. The black man’s music changed as the changed，reflecting shifting attitudes or consistent attitudes within changing contexts．It is why the music changing seems most important to me．

    When jazz first began to appear on the American scene during the twenties，in one form or another, it was introduced in many instances by white Americans． Yet its original conception and its most vital development were the result of certain attitudes，or experiential ideas，attributable to the Afro-American culture.  Jazz as played by white musicians was not the same as that played by black musicians nor was there any reason for it to be．The music of the white jazz musician was，at its most profound，a learned art．

    The blues，for example，which I take to be an independent black music，was practically ignored in pre-jazz white American culture．  Blues is an extremely important part of jazz．However, the way in which jazz utilizes the blues“attitude”provided a musical analogy the white musician could understand, and thus he could arrive at a style of jazz music．The white musician understood the blues first as music，  but seldom as an attitude， since the attitude of the white musician was necessarily quite a different one.  And in many cases，it was not consistent with the making of jazz．

     Thus，the trumpets(小号) of Bix Beiderbecke and Louis Armstrong were very dissimilar．The white middle—class boy from Iowa was an inborn intellectual and had an emotional life that was based on his conscious or unconscious disapproval of most of the custom of his culture．  On the other hand, Armstrong was，in terms of an emotional model，an honored priest of his culture．He was not rebelling against anything with his music．The incredible irony of the situation was that both stood in similar places in the superstructure of American society：Beiderbecke, because of his isolation and departure from mass culture；and Armstrong，because of the socio—historical separation of the black man from the rest of American．

1．Which of the following best states the underlying idea of the passage?  

    A) Due to environmental influences，the music of black and white artists must be very different．

    B) Due to its result of thought，black artists’music can be learned by white musicians．

    C) Because jazz is created on inspiration，it is difficult for musicians to copy each other．

    D) Because music has social significance, its influence on black white relations should not be underestimated．

2．What is the relationship between blues and jazz in American culture?  

    A) Jazz places more emphasis on Afro-American culture than does the blues．

    B) Jazz changes the attitudes of white musicians toward Afro-American culture．

    C) Jazz is based on the blues attitude, but expressed in comprehensible manners to white musicians．

    D) Jazz must be understood in order to be played, whereas the blues must be learned．

3．The tone of the author’s discussion of the blues is ______．

    A) indifferent    B) appreciative  

    C) curious        D) uncertain  

4．The author implies that the kinds of music produced by Beiderbecked and Armstrong differ greatly because_______．     

    A) the attitudes of blacks and whites as reflected in their music are different  

    B) Beiderbecke’s intellectualism held back his development as a musician  

    C) rebellion acted as a destructive force on Beiderbecke’s performance  

    D) Armstrong was well established as a performer but Beiderbecke was not  

5．In which of the following were Beiderbecke and Armstrong similar?  

    A) The attitudes they brought to their music．

    B) Their ability to reflect other cultures in their music．

    C) Their separation from mass music．

    D) The positions they came to hold in American society．

〖2019年学苑教育专项练习〗【答案解析】
1．A)。文章第一段是主旨段。尤其是该段的最后两句：黑人音乐的改变反映了在变化的环境中态度的改变或态度的一致。这就是为什么音乐的变化对我来说是最重要的。contexts 相当于选项中的 environment，所以选A)，而且在文章最后一段作者又对比了 Bix Beiderbecke 和Louis Armstrong 不同的原因主要是成长环境不同。B) 两个分句之间不构成因果关系；D) 仅是文章的一个细节。

2．C) 题干问的是两种音乐的关系，第三段第二、三句提到了二者的关系：布鲁斯是爵士乐非常重要的一个部分，然而，爵士乐所运用的布鲁斯“态度”是白人音乐家能理解的，这样他才创造了爵士乐。expressed in comprehensible manners to white musicians 和文章中 provided a musical analogy the white musician could understand 同义，可知c)为答案。考生应注意文章中 extremely 这样的强烈表达和 however 这样的转折句，通常易为考点。A)与文章意思相反；D)的表达不准确。

3．B)。问作者的观点态度的题最好回原文查看作者在提到该事物时所使用词的感情色彩。在文中第三段作者提到布鲁斯时的词有：independent，extremely important part of 等褒义词，所以可知他对布鲁斯持赞赏态度。A) curious“漠不关心的”；C) indifferent“好奇的”；D) uncertain“不确定的”。

4．A)。题中问的是二位音乐家所创作的音乐不同的原因，而只有文章第三段的结尾提到了原因：白人音乐家将布鲁斯作为音乐来理解，而很少作为一种态度来理解，因为白人的态度和黑人是不同的。接着在第四段开头写道：因此 Beiderbecked 和 Armstrong 是不同的，可知答案为A)。考生应注意因果句也是常考点。C) 是指 Beiderbecked 和 Armstrong 不同之处，不是原因。

5．D)。由题干 similar 定位到最后一段第五句：具有讽刺性的是二人都站在美国上层结构相似的位置，position 相当于 superstructure。考生应注意冒号这样的特殊标点是一处考点。A) 是他们的不同点。
