Jazz musician Benny Carter, known for hissophisticated compositions and arrangements, wasalso a virtuoso alto saxophone player. Fellow musicians frequently cited Carter’s groundbreaking improvisational 5 style, which avoided the expected run up and down the chord changes and instead spread out phrase fragments over the chord progression. In 1934, just six years after his first recording, Carter played at the opening of the Apollo Theater in Harlem and then led the first interracial big band 10 to tour Europe. In the ensuing quarter century, Carter wrote music for film and television in Hollywood, where he played a key role in the merger of the trade unions of Black musicians and White musicians.
1. The author suggests that Carter was not only an outstanding jazz composer but also
(A)A talented composer of classical music
(B)A highly imitative performer
(C)An opponent of organized labor
(D)An effective participant in social change
(E)An astute critic of other musicians’ work 分析:
全文都是在谈Carter在音乐方面的成就,只有在最后一句(11-13行)里提到他played a key role in the merger of the trade unions of Black musicians and White musicians,那么他把黑人音乐家工会和白人音乐家工会成功合并的事实,反映了他是也关注social
change的东西,据此选D。
A错,全文都没有提到classical music,更没有提到他是个有天分的古典音乐作曲家
B错,没有提到他是否imaginative。C讲反了,从最后一句可以看出,他是支持organized labor的。D也没有提到,没有讲到他对别的音乐家的作品的态度。
