[20:40.40]Section C
[20:47.89]Directions: In this section, you will hear a passage three times.
[20:53.61]When the passage is read for the first time,
[20:56.56]you should listen carefully for its general idea.
[20:59.74]When the passage is read for the second time,
[21:02.47]you are required to fill in the blanks numbered from 26 to 33
[21:08.04]with the exact words you have just heard.
[21:10.78]For blanks numbered from 34 to 36 you are required to fill in the missing information.
[21:17.68]For these blanks, You can either use the exact words you have just heard
[21:22.59]or write down the main points in your own words.
[21:26.09]Finally, when the passage is read for the third time,
[21:30.14]you should check what you have written.
[21:32.22]Now listen to the passage.
[21:34.29]Considering how jazz is transcribed in Chinese, you may be misled into assuming that
[21:42.72]it is a cultural form belonging to those who have some elegant tastes.
[21:47.42]Nothing could be further from the truth.
[21:49.82]It originated among black Americans at the end of the 19th century,
[21:54.86]at a time when they occupied the very bottom of the American social heap.
[21:59.78]So how has something that was created
[22:02.64]by a once despised minority acquire a central place in today's American culture?
[22:08.55]It's a mystery that many people would like to solve.
[22:11.76]Perhaps the essence of America is
[22:15.15]that you could never get two Americans to agree on just what that might be.
[22:19.42]After thinking about it for a while, we might utter,
[22:23.46]“Hmm, seems like being an American is a bit more complicated than we thought.”
[22:28.93]Certainly things like individualism, success, innovation and tolerance stand out.
[22:36.15]But these things come together because of our ability to work with one another
[22:40.53]and find common purpose no matter how diverse we might be.
[22:44.79]Some, like African-American writer Ralph Ellison,
[22:49.17]believes that jazz captures the intrinsic properties of America.
[22:53.10]The solos are a celebration of individual brilliance
[22:57.11]that can't take place without the group efforts of the rhythm section.
[23:01.27]They say jazz brought together elements from Africa and Europe,
[23:05.53]fusing them into a new culture, an expression unique to the Americans.
[23:10.90]Beyond that, though, jazz has a connection to the intrinsic properties of America
[23:16.80]in a much more fundamental way.
[23:18.88]It is an expression of the African roots of American culture,
[23:23.15]a musical medium exemplifying the domination of African culture in American culture.
[23:29.49]Now the passage will be read again.
