It has always been difficult for me to decide whether "popular music" means music written for the people or is simply music that the people like. The same problem of definition 67 with jazz. So many different 68 of "music have been called jazz at one time or another that it is 69 to say what it really is. Jazz has always been 70 to be black music but when I first 71 an interest in it, I used to hear white bands playing music that was like Louis Armstrongs in the 1920s. I found out 72 that they learnt to do this by playing his records 73 until their style. was close enough to his for them to 74 him. Since then white singers 75 Bob Dylan have rediscovered their own folk 76 , instead of borrowing from black roots. But the main changes 77 1960 have been social and technical. One is that young people have more money to spend on 78 at an earlier age than they 79 , so Tin Pan Alley, the "pop" music industry, 80 at teenage audience. 81 is that electronic equipment has developed to such an 82 that technicians are now capable of mixing sound to produce recordings that are quite different from a 83 performance. But the real problem with "pop" music is that Tin Pan Alley has always worked against its being a 84 music of the people.

参考答案

正确答案:B
【文章大意】很难界定popularmusic是指写给大众的音乐还是仅指人们所喜欢的音乐,对于jazz(爵士乐)也一样。爵士乐兴起于黑人社会,但“我”之前所听的都是白人乐队演奏的著名黑人乐手(比如路易斯?阿姆斯特朗)的作品。到了20世纪60年代,出现了两种变化,一种是青少年有了更多的钱来购买唱片,另一种是科技的进步使得混音成为可能。但更重要的是像锡盘巷这样的流行音乐总是选择成为二流歌曲,日渐放弃了原创性的、自然的元素,吸取了庸俗的商业模仿。【答案解析】B语境分析:本空位于第一段第二句。本段第一句意为“对于我来说,很难判断‘流行音乐’的意思是‘写给大众的音乐’还是‘仅指人们所喜欢的音乐”’。根据第二句中的same可以推知爵士乐的定义也存在着同样的问题,所选选项不仅应能表达这一意思,还应能与with搭配,比较四项可知B为正确答案。词义分析:takewith“携带”;existwith“与……共存”;startwith“由……开始”;correlatewith“与……相关”。
