答案与题解：
1. B when jazz was born 是定语从句，修饰at the turn of 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具有这一功能。
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, interests, emotions 的搭配考录，只能选expressing
7. A 爵士是音乐，是有声音的，所以只能选sounded, 在二十世纪二十年代，爵士乐听上去就像当时的美国。
8. D 下面要讲的是有关爵士乐的起源，所以只能找origins，其他选项的词义都不对。
9. C 黑人是作为奴隶被带到南方各州来的。
10. 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可以判断应该选 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alive2015年职称英语考试真题带答案英语题库。
14. C 可以想见，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。
