答案及解析：

1.【解析】B.at the turn of the century“在世紀之交”，固定搭配。

2.【解析】C.本句意為沒有人知道爵士樂是什么時候發(fā)明的，由誰發(fā)明的。invent“發(fā)明(沒有的事物)”;discover“發(fā)現(xiàn)(已經(jīng)存在的事物)”，act“行動，扮演”;design“設(shè)計”。

3.【解析】C.正如下文所提到的，爵士樂是與classical music(古典音樂)相對的。爵士樂(jazz)是一種自由輕松的音樂形式，因此應(yīng)是流行音樂(popular music)的一種。

4.【解析】B.本句意為古典音樂遵循正規(guī)的歐洲傳統(tǒng)。follow“遵循”;form“形成”;approach“接近，靠近”：introduce“引進，介紹”。

5.【解析】A.express“表達”，音樂是用來表達和抒發(fā)人的mood(情緒)，interest(興趣)以及emotions(感情)的。

6.【解析】B.上半句說20世紀20年代的爵士樂聽起來有美國風(fēng)格，下半句說今天的爵士樂也是如此。“so+主語+助動詞”意思是“…確實如此”。

7.【解析】A.origins“起源，來源”;originals“原作，原物”;discover“發(fā)現(xiàn)”;resource“資源”。此句意思是爵士樂的起源。所以選A.

8.【解析】C.本句意思是“黑奴被賣給南方種植園主，被迫在地里長時間勞動?！眑on9一般不與months和weeks搭配，hours指工作時間，times指次數(shù)或倍數(shù)，當(dāng)一段時間講時是不可數(shù)名詞，所以只能選hours.

9.【解析】D.demonstrate“說明，示威”;compose (of)“組成”;host“當(dāng)主人招待”;form與procession搭配，意思為“一個黑奴死后，他的親戚朋友組成一支送葬隊送他”。

10.【解析】C.present“展示，表演”，既包括whistle，也包括sing，還包括show.
