【答案與解析】

40.A根據(jù)文章第一段第四句的狀語從句明確指出了Coltrane與其他音樂

家的不同在于他吸收了各種風格的爵士音樂。故選A。

41.B作者在第四段對比了OrnetteColeman和Coltrane的作品和演奏風

格，故選B。

42.A根據(jù)文章倒數(shù)第二段最后一句“Withthesoprano’spipingsound,

ideasthathadsoundeddarkandbroodingacquiredafeelingofgiddy

fantasy.”可知采用女高音是因為更能增加一種憂郁的感覺，故選A。

43.C根據(jù)作者在第一段第四句的主語上使用了“titanicfigure”，在第五

句使用了“hisinfluence…wasimmeasurable”，在最后一段的第三句使用

了“hisinfluence…wasenormous”，可知作者的態(tài)度為“enthusiastic

praise”，故選C。

44.A通讀全文，可知本文主要談的是Coltrane為爵士樂界所做的巨大貢

獻以及他在音樂道路上進行的種種探索，故選A。
