答案及解析：

1.【解析】B.at the turn of the century“在世紀(jì)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(shí)候發(fā)明的，由誰(shuí)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(dòng)，扮演”;design“設(shè)計(jì)”。

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(duì)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(jìn)，介紹”。

5.【解析】A.express“表達(dá)”，音樂是用來(lái)表達(dá)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(jì)20年代的爵士樂聽起來(lái)有美國(guó)風(fēng)格，下半句說今天的爵士樂也是如此?！皊o+主語(yǔ)+助動(dòng)詞”意思是“…確實(shí)如此”。

7.【解析】A.origins“起源，來(lái)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(zhǎng)時(shí)間勞動(dòng)?！眑on9一般不與months和weeks搭配，hours指工作時(shí)間，times指次數(shù)或倍數(shù)，當(dāng)一段時(shí)間講時(shí)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(gè)黑奴死后，他的親戚朋友組成一支送葬隊(duì)送他”。

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