答案41.B42.C43.C44.B
41.解析:
这是一道细节题。
根据第一段中的“MusiciansoftencalledhimPops,asasignofrespectforhisinfluenceontheworldofmusic.”和第三段中的“Inhislateteens,Armstrongbegantolivethelifeofamusician...Armstronglearnedfromtheoldermusiciansandsoonbecamerespectedastheirequal.”可判断出Armstrong之所以被称之为Pops是因为他是具有影响的音乐家。
42.解析:
这是一道推断题。
短文的第三段讲述了Armstrong在童年是显露出音乐天赋、在青少年开始过着音乐家的生活、以后成名,由此可推断出这一段是按时间顺序写作的。
43.解析:
这是一道正误判断题。
根据最后一段中的“Hiscornetplayinghadadeephumanityandwarmththatcausedmanylistenerstosay,‘ListeningtoPopsjustmakesyoufeelgoodallover.’”可判断出选项C是正确的。
44.解析:
这是一道标题选择题。
这篇短文讲述了Armstrong成为爵士乐之父的过程,短文的最后一段中的“Hewasthefatherofthejazzstyleandalsooneofthebest-knownandmostadmiredpeopleintheworld.”点明了这篇短文的主题,所以最好的题目应该是:
TheFatheroftheJazzStyle
