　　2017年職稱英語試題《綜合C》完形填空專項(xiàng)練習(xí)題答案解析

　　1.B。這里考查的是定語從句，修飾at the turn ofthe last century,所以這里需要填入的是一個(gè)引導(dǎo)定語從句的連接副詞，只有when具有這一功能。

　　2.A。從上下文語境來看，當(dāng)時(shí)美國還沒有明顯屬于自己的音樂。其他三個(gè)選項(xiàng)的詞義都十分具體，美國不可能沒有。

　　3.C。從上文語境看，爵士是音樂，所以noticed和found都不合適，listened是不及物動(dòng)詞，如果要用，也應(yīng)該有個(gè)to，而這里是“聽到”，不是“聽著”的意思，所以應(yīng)該用heard。

　　4.C。根據(jù)常識(shí)，我們知道爵士樂不屬于古典音樂，也不屬于嚴(yán)肅音樂或圣樂，只可能是流行音樂。

　　5.B。本句是說，古典音樂歐洲傳統(tǒng)。四個(gè)選項(xiàng)分別代入后，只有follow(跟隨，遵循)符合語境。

　　6.C。這里考查習(xí)慣搭配，從與moods，interests，emotions三個(gè)單詞的搭配考慮，只能選expressing。

　　7.A。本句是說，爵士樂像當(dāng)時(shí)美國的音樂。爵士是音樂，是有聲音的，所以只能選sounded。

　　8.D。從上下文語境來看，下面要講的是有關(guān)爵士樂的起源，所以只能是origins，其他選項(xiàng)的詞義都不對。

　　9.C。這里考查的是介詞。本句是說，黑人是奴隸被帶到南方各州來的。四個(gè)選項(xiàng)分別代入，只有as(作為)符合語境。

　　10.B。這里是習(xí)慣搭配。本句是說，當(dāng)一個(gè)黑人去世的時(shí)候，他的親戚朋友就會(huì)__________一支隊(duì)伍。只能說form a procession，其他三個(gè)詞都不能搭配。

　　11.C。根據(jù)前一句很容易就可以判斷應(yīng)該選procession。

　　12.C。從上下文語境來看，這句和前一句形成對比，所以選But。

　　13.B。本句是說，死去的人已經(jīng)死了，活著的人很高興。四個(gè)選項(xiàng)只有alive(活著的)符合語境。

　　14.C。從上下文語境來看，與送葬時(shí)的悲哀形成對比，在回家路上他們演奏的音樂一定是輕快的，所以選happy。另外三個(gè)選項(xiàng)都和happy的意義相悖。

　　15.C。這里考查習(xí)慣搭配。能和tunes搭配的只有sung和played兩個(gè)，但是上文中提到在新奧爾良葬禮上總有一個(gè)樂隊(duì)在演奏，所以這里應(yīng)該選played而不是sung。
