答案與題解：
1. B when jazz was born 是定語從句，修飾at the turn of the last century, 所以這里需要填入的是一個引導定語從句的關聯副詞，只有when具有這一功能。
2. A 當時美國還沒有明顯屬于自己的音樂，其他三個選項的詞義都十分具體，美國不可能沒有。
3. C 爵士是音樂，所以noticed 和 found 都不合適，listen 是不及物動詞，如果要用，也應該有個to，而這里是聽到，不是聽著的意思，所以應該用heard。
4. C 爵士樂不屬于古典音樂，也不屬于嚴肅音樂或圣樂，只可能是流行音樂。
5. B 古典音樂發端于歐洲，所以它遵循的是歐洲傳統。
6. C 從跟后面這幾個詞moods, interests, emotions 的搭配考錄，只能選expressing
7. A 爵士是音樂，是有聲音的，所以只能選sounded, 在二十世紀二十年代，爵士樂聽上去就像當時的美國。
8. D 下面要講的是有關爵士樂的起源，所以只能找origins，其他選項的詞義都不對。
9. C 黑人是作為奴隸被帶到南方各州來的。
10. B 他們自發形成一支隊伍，只能說form a procession, 其他三個詞的搭配都不對。
11. C 根據前一句很容易就可以判斷應該選 procession。
12. C 這句和前一句形成對比，所以應該選But。
13. B 與死相對的是還活著，英語就是alive。
14. C 可以想見，在回家路上他們演奏的音樂一定是比較輕快的。所以選happy,另外三個選項都和happy的意義相悖。
15. C 能和 tunes搭配的只有 sung和played兩個，但是上文中提到在新奧爾良葬禮上總有一個樂隊在演奏，所以這里應該選 played 而不是 sung。
