This is not to deny that the Black gospel music of the early twentieth century differed in important ways from the slave spirituals. Whereas spirituals were created and disseminated in folk fashion, gospel music was composed, published, copyrighted, and sold by professionals. Nevertheless, improvisation remained central to gospel music. One has only to listen to the recorded repertoire of gospel songs to realize that Black gospel singers rarely sang a song precisely the same way twice and never according to its exact musical notation. They performed what jazz musicians call “head arrangements” proceeding from their own feelings and from the way “the spirit” moved them at the time. This improvisatory element was reflected in the manner in which gospel music was published. Black gospelcomposers scored the music intended for White singing groups fully, indicating the various vocal parts and the accompaniment, but the music produce for Black singers include only a vocal line and piano accompaniment. 2. the passage suggests which of the following about Black gospel music and slave spirituals? (A) Both became widely known in the early twentieth century (B) Both had an important improvisatory element (C) Both were frequently performed by jazz musicians (D) Both were published with only a vocal line and piano accompaniment (E) Both were disseminated chiefly by Black singing group 3. of the following sentences, which is most likely to have immediately preceded the passage? (A) Few composers of gospel music drew on traditions such as the spiritual in creating their songs (B) Spirituals and Black gospel music were derived from the same musical tradition (C) The creation and singing of spirituals, practiced by Black Americans before the Civil War, continued after the war (D) Spirituals and gospel music can be clearly distinguished from one another (E) Improvisation was one of the primary characteristics of the gospel music created by Black musicians 文章没有看太懂题完全不会做啊尤其这个第二第三题求助求助啊
首先我们来看前两句，This is not to deny that the Black gospel music of the early twentieth century differed in important ways from the slave spirituals. Whereas spirituals were created and disseminated in folk fashion, gospel music was composed, published, copyrighted, and sold by professionals. Nevertheless, improvisation remained central to gospel music. 尽管我们不否认。。。，然而。。。。。句子的逻辑关系很清楚了，强调的是后面的意思。 Black gospel music 尽管在很多方面和slave spritual不一样，直接逻辑意思取反，我们不看后面句子，光看前面这半句也可以猜出作者下面想表达的意思大概是spiritual和balck gospel music还是有很多相同之处的。而这个相同之处是什么呢？我们看句子提到了Nevertheless, improvisation remained central to gospel music。也就是说improvisation是B和S的相同之处。所以第一题可以选出B为正确答案。 紧接着，下面整个的一大段话都是介绍这个black gospel music 怎么improcisation的。比如提到了黑人歌手每次都是根据自己的现场感觉唱的啊，等等所以每次唱出来的都不一样。那我们看到整个后面都是举例子说这个music怎么即兴的，所以肯定要选这个意思的选项。那就选E：即兴演唱是这个BGM的重要特点之一。
