The development of jazz can be seen as part of the larger continuum of American popular music, especially dance music. In the twenties, jazz became the hottest new thing in dance music, much as ragtime had at the mm of the century, and as rhythm and blues in the forties, rock in the fifties, and disco in the seventies.
But two characteristics distinguish jazz from other dance music. The first is improvisation, the changing of a musical phrase according to the player's inspiration. Like all artists, jazz musicians strive for an individual style, and the improvised or paraphrased solo is a jazz musician's main opportunity to display his or her individuality. In early jazz, musicians often improvised melodies collectively, thus creating a kind of polyphony. There was little soloing as such, although some New Orleans players, particularly comet player Buddy Bolden, achieved local fame for their ability to improvise a solo. Later the idea of the chores-long or multi-chorus solo took hold. Louis Armstrong's instrumental brilliance, demonstrated through extended solos, was a major influence in this development.
Even in the early twenties, however, some jazz bands had featured soloists. Similarly, show orchestras and carnival bands often included one or two such "get-off" musicians. Unimprovised, completely structured jazz does exist, but the ability of the best jazz musicians to create music of great cohesion and beauty during a performance has been a hallmark of the music and its major source of inspiration and change.
The second distinguishing characteristic of jazz is a rhythmic drive that was initially called "hot" and later "swing". In playing hot, a musician consciously departs from strict meter to create a relaxed sense of phrasing that also emphasizes the underlying rhythms. ("Rough" tone and use of moderate vibrato also contributes to a hot sound.) Not all jazz is hot, however, many early bands played unadorned published arrangements of popular songs. Still, the proclivity (倾向) to play hot distinguished the jazz musician from other instrumentalists.
What does the passage mainly discuss？
A．Finding something that everyone thinks suits her best.B．The suggestions of other peo
Task 2
Directions: This task is the same as Task 1. The 5 questions or unfinished statements are numbered 41 through 45.
Most banks in the US open at 9:00 or 10:00 and close between 3:00 and 5:00, but stay open later on Fridays, and some banks have longer hours in order to attract customers on this day.
What's the best way to carry money safely while you are traveling？ There are three possibilities-personal checks from your country, travelers checks and credit cards. Some Ame-rican banks accept foreign checks such as Eurocheques (欧洲货币支票)；the problem is that only those banks that are used to dealing with foreigners will know what Eurocheques are.
It may be more convenient to carry travelers checks, which are insured against loss. They should be in dollars, because only a few banks do much business in foreign currencies. If your checks aren't in dollars, it may take you a long time to find a bank that will exchange them. You can use travelers checks almost anywhere. If you run out of them, you can buy more at most banks. Their service charge will vary, though, so ask what it is before you buy your checks.
Americans would say the best way to carry money is to have a credit card. Credit cards can be canceled if they are lost or stolen. And because they are widely accepted in the US, it is easy to use them to pay all kinds of bills.
Of course, you can't get along without cash, but you don't need to carry much with you.
In order to attract customers, on Fridays some American banks______.
听力原文： Shopping for clothes is not the same experience for a man as it is for a woman. A man goes shopping because he needs something. He knows what he wants and his objective is to find it and buy it; the price is a secondary consideration. He simply walks into a shop and asks the assistant for what he wants. If the shop has it in stock, the salesman promptly produces it, and the business of trying it on proceeds at once. All being well, the deal is often completed in less than five minutes, with hardly any chat and to everyone's satisfaction.
For a man, slight problems may arise when the shop does not have what he wants. In that case, the salesman tries to sell the customer something else. Few men have patience to waste his time trying it on.
But a woman goes about buying clothes in the opposite way. Her shopping is not often based on need. She has never fully made up her mind what she wants, and she is only "having a look round". She is always open to persuasion. She will try on any number of things. Uppermost in her mind is the thought of finding something that everyone thinks suits her. And she has an excellent sense of value when she buys clothes. Faced with a roomful of dresses, a woman may easily spend hours going from one rail to another before selecting what she wants to try on. It is a laborious process, but apparently an enjoyable one.
