V. Read the following passage and choose the best answers to the questions.

The development of jazz can be seen as part of the larger continuum of American popular music,
especially dance music. In the twenties, jazz became the hottest new thing in dance music, much
as ragtime had at the turn of the century, and as would rhythm and blues in the fifties, rock in the
fifties, and disco in the seventies.
But two characteristics distinguish jazz from other dance music. The first is improvisation, the
changing of a musical phrase according to the player's inspiration. Like all artists, jazz musicians
strive for an individual style, and the improvise or paraphrase is a jazz musician's main opportunity
to display his or her individuality. In early jazz, musicians often improvised melodies collectively,
thus creating a kind of polyphony. There was little soloing as such, although some New Orleans
players, particularly cornet player Buddy Bolden, achieved local fame for their ability to improvise
a solo. Later the idea of the chorus-long or multichorus solo took hold. Louis Armstrong's
instrumental brilliance, demonstrated through extended solos, was a major influence in this
development. Even in the early twenties, however, some jazz bands had featured soloists. Similarly,
show orchestras and carnival bands often included one or two such “get-off” musicians.
Unimproved, completely structured jazz does exist, but the ability of the best jazz musicians to create
music of great cohesion and beauty during performance has been a hallmark of the music and its
major source of inspiration and change.
The second distinguishing characteristic of jazz is a rhythmic drive that was initially called "hot" and
later "swing". In playing hot, a musician consciously departs from strict meter to create a relaxed
sense of phrasing that also emphasizes the underlying rhythms. ("Rough" tone and use of moderate
vibrato also contributed to a hot sound.) Not all jazz is hot, however, many early bands played
unadorned published arrangements of popular songs. Still, the proclivity to play hot distinguished
the jazz musician from other instrumentalists.
1. The passage answers which of the following questions?
A. Which early jazz musicians most Influenced rhythm and blues music?
B. What are the differences between jazz and other forms of music?
C. Why is dancing closely related to popular music in the United States?
D. What instruments comprised a typical jazz band of the 1920's?
2. Which of the following appeared before jazz as a popular music for dancing?
A. Disco B. Rock C. Rhythm and blues D. Ragtime
3. According to the passage, jazz musicians are able to demonstrate their individual artistry

A. creating musical variations while performing
B. preparing musical arrangements
C. reading music with great skill
D. being able to play all types of popular music
4. Which of the following was the function of “get-off” musicians?
A. Assist the other band members in packing up after a performance
B. Teach dance routines created for new music
