9、 the last century ，所以这里需要填入的是一个引导定语从句的关联副词， 只有when具有这个功能。2. A 当时美国还没有明显属于自己的音乐，其他三个选项的词义 都十分具体，美国不可能没有。3. C 爵士是音乐，所以 noticed 和 found 都不合适， listen 是 不及物动词，如果要用，也应该有个 to ，而这里是听到'，不是 听着'的意思，所以应该用 heard.4. C 爵士乐不属于古典音乐，也不属于严肃音乐或圣乐，只可能 是流行音乐。5. B 古典音乐发端于欧洲，所以它遵循的是欧洲传统。6. C 从跟后面这几个词 moods,interest

B 他们自发形成一支队伍，只能说 form a procession ，其他 三个词的搭配都不对。11. C 根据前一句很容易就能够判断应该选 procession.12. C 这句和前一句形成对比，所以应该选 But.13. B 与死'相对的是还活着'，英语就是 alive.14. C 能够想见，在回家路上他们演奏的音乐一定是比较轻快的。 所以选happy,另外三个选项都和happy的意义相悖。15. C 能和 tunes 搭配的只有 sung 和 played 两个，但是上文中 提到在新奥尔良葬礼上总有一个乐队在演奏，所以这里应该选 played 而不是 sung.
