No one knows exactly when jazz was【C3】. or by whom, but it began to be【C4】in the early 1900s. Jazz is America’s contribution to【C5】music. In contrast to classical music, which【C6】formal European traditions, jazz is a spontaneous and free form. It bubbles with energy,【C7】the mood, interest, and emotions of the people. In the 1920s jazz【C8】like America, and【C9】it does today.
    The【C10】of this music are as interesting as the music【C11】. American Negroes, or blacks, as they are called today, were the jazz【C12】. They were brought to Southern States【C13】slaves. They were sold to plantation owners and forced to work long【C14】. When a Negro died his friends and relatives【C15】a procession to carry the body to the cemetery. In New Orleans, a band often accompanied the【C16】. On the way to the cemetery the band played slow, solemn music suited to the occasion.【C17】on the way home the mood changed. Spirits lifted. Death had removed one of their【C18】, but the living were glad to be alive. The band played【C19】music, improvising (即兴表演) on both the harmony and the melody of the tunes【C20】at the funeral.

【C19】
选项 A、sad
B、solemn
C、happy
D、funeral
答案C
解析 语义衔接题。前文讲到去墓地途中乐队演奏庄严、肃穆的葬礼音乐；那么从墓地返回时乐队所演奏的音乐不再是庄严、肃穆的，所以选与solemn意思相反或相对的形容词happy。其他选项的语义均与上下文不符。
