本选文难度和风格几乎和现行的GRE阅读没有太大区别。题材又谈到了黑人,尤其是爵士音乐。这种题材在95-00笔考期间也经常出现。把握住文章首段重要词汇however抓住主题。分清文中矛盾对象,文章应该比较容易处理。
6. The passage states that Johnson composed all of the following EXCEPT
A. jazz works
B. popular songs
C. symphonic music
D. spirituals
E. blues pieces
此题正确答案为D。文中开始谈到Johnson作为伟大爵士音乐家,因为其创始了新的风格,其中包括了blues and jazz。而在文章末句提到了他吸收了同时代的popular music以及symphonic。注意该题的spirituals文中确实也出现过,但是措辞用的是borrow from,题干问的是compose.

A. They were strongly influenced by the musical experiments of Milhaud and Gershwin.
