Jazz clubs around the city still host concerts with local jazz musicians like Rob Dixon and Joel Tucker. One of these clubs, the Chatterbox Jazz Club, still has live jazz seven nights a week. But the real history of jazz in Indy is much less simple. Along with the Avenue39。s culture, jazz music was gone from the streets for many years. Indiana Avenue was the heart of a neighborhood along the White River. It was a center for black music and live street music. The wealthy avoided this area. So it became a place that poorer families, including many AfricanAmerican and immigrant (移民) families, moved to. Jazz prospered in the mix of American cultures around the Avenue in the 1930s and 1940s. But in the 1950s, things changed. After the war, there were projects to make the city beautiful and build a university nearby. Both of these seemed like good changes. However, the new university and buildings caused poorer families to have to leave the area. This destroyed the Indiana Avenue munity and with it, its jazz culture. After many years, Indianapolis remembered the value of its arts and music culture. It began to bring back lost cultures such as live music on the Avenue. To do so, it began to make new changes. The changes included repairing historic areas like the Avenue. Once again, the high living costs in these historic arts areas pushed lowine families out. Today there are several oldstyle jazz clubs where friends can meet up to remember the past or just enjoy a summer evening. It might seem at first that jazz is alive again, but there is a sad reality behind these jazz clubs: Modern Indy jazz is only a shadow (影子) of the lively culture that was once on Indiana Avenue.(1)What does the author mainly want to say in Paragraph 1? clubs can make big money. musicians often hold concerts. music is popular in Indianapolis. culture is just part of Indianapolis39。 culture.(2)What does the underlined word prospered in Paragraph 4 mean? quickly. soon. soon. well.(3)What did Indianapolis do to bring back its lost culture? rebuilt some old important areas. invited old jazz musicians to sing in the city. educated people about the value of music culture. settled lowine families in the Indiana Avenue munity,(4)According to the passage, which of the following about modern Indy jazz is true? home culture is gone. styles are too traditional. shows the sadness of the poor. is no longer a favorite of the young.【答案】 (1)C(2)D(3)A(4)A 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇說(shuō)明文,2019年爵士樂(lè)仍然是印第安納波利斯藝術(shù)文化的重要組成部分,但是它的本土文化消失了。 (1
