Music critics have consistently defined James P. Johnson as a great early jazz pianist, originator of the 1920s Harlem "stride" style, and an important blues and jazz composer. In addition, however, Johnson was an innovator in classical music, composing symphonic music that incorporated American, and especially African American, traditions.
Such a blend of musical elements was not entirely new: by 1924 both Milhaud and Gershwin had composed classical works that incorporated elements of jazz. Johnson, a serious musician more exerienced than most classical composers with jazz, blues, spirituals, and popular music, was particularly suited to expand Milhaud's and Gershwin's experiments. In 1927 he completed his first large-scale work, the blues- and jazz-inspired Yamekraw, which included borrowings from spirituals and Johnson's own popular songs. Yamekraw, premiered successfully in Carnegie Hall, was a major achievement for Johnson, becoming his most frequently performed extended work. It demonstrated vividly the possibility of assimilating contemporary popular music into the symphonic tradition.

Which of the following best describes the organazation of the passage?
A. A historical overview is presented, and a particular phenomenon is noted and analyzed.
B. A popular belief is challenged, and a rical interpretation is presented and supported.
C. A common viewpoint is presented and modified, and the modification is supported.
D. An observation is made and rejected, and evidence for that rejection is presented.
E. A common claim is inverstigated, and an alternative outlook is analyzed and criticized.












答案是C   求解呀~~ 谢谢~~

楼主好辛苦~~我来帮你看看：这道题是这样的：
第一句先说他early， originator （原创的感觉）。但是第二句：In addition, however，说他incorporated了些什么，而In addition, however最好的概括词就是答案中的modified而不是challenge（这个态度过强了），然后下面段就论证所以是modification is supported
这个答案相当完美！

再补充句 答案中的common viewpoint 对应文中中Music critics have consistently

恩 是这样的

当时选的时候选的是E,没注意到E选项的investigate这个词,调查研究肯定不对.
就是这种题选项里面有些词意思很模糊.比如outlook,翻译是展望,观点. 那文章需要怎样写是表示outlook呢?写对未来的期待?如果不看A选项后面,historical overview对不对呢?这篇文章算不算?...就是没反应过来   :P

A选项光是第一句我觉得是对的，因为对应文中第一句话，后面就不对了：不是现象，这是论点说明的文章吧。还有你说的Outlook应该是你那样理解，貌似pp2有篇文章的最后段就是对未来的展望那种的~~

其实。。我觉得还是从文章态度入手比较好。比如第一段，给JP这个人一个AW+。所以下面，应该不会是全盘否定，所以BD这种绝对反驳的选项就去掉吧。。。仔细看第二段，其实还是在夸JP这个人的吧。。

我觉得用排除法就可以做出来了。BTW我觉得lz我们步调很一致啊，我今天刚模考的test1哈哈

楼主，我想问问这个阅读的第三题。composed all of the following except.
为什么不能找这里的对应么？Johnson, a serious musician more exerienced than most classical composers with jazz, blues, spirituals, and popular music, was particularly suited to expand Milhaud's and Gershwin's experiments.

我也想问这个阅读第三题~跟你定位的一样，有人知道为什么吗

同问第三问。。。

注意把握文章结构，和关键词。大意：
1） Johnson被consistently认为是jazz& blue方面的composer。
2）However,他也是 innovator in classical music。
3）他并不完全是最早的innovator,因为其他两位musicians更早涉及classical music。
4）但是Johnson因为更有experience，融合各种风格到classical music，在classical music 取得了很大成就。


综上：这是很典型的GRE思路:先给出一个历史上的common sense, 然后给出一个新的见解。 注意把握全文的attitude，新的见解是对common sense的完善，和修改。而不是激烈的,或是否定的criticize。所以选择C。

E不对：因为有很negative的意思，文章并没有给出一个alternative的point，并进行criticize。

同求这个阅读的第三题：
the passage states that Johnson composed all of the following EXCEPT :
A.        jazz works
B.        popular songs
C.        symphonic music
D.        spirituals
E.        blues pieces

问一下可以这样理解嘛？
In 1927 he completed his first large-scale work, the blues- and jazz-inspired Yamekraw, which included borrowings from spirituals and Johnson's own popular songs.
也就是说他的spiritual是borrow from的而不是 compose 出来的。

这么理解总觉得牵强啊，但答案给的是spirituals。。。

这题做的时候我特意每个选项都从文章中找出来了：
jazz works, blues pieces - "James P. Johnson as a great early jazz pianist, originator of the 1920s Harlem "stride" style, and an important blues and jazz composer"
popular songs - "included borrowings from spirituals and Johnson's own popular songs" 注意Johnson's own popular songs，说明他写过流行歌曲
symphonic music - "Johnson was an innovator in classical music, composing symphonic music that incorporated American"

只有spirituals，文中说的是borrow，而不是他自己创作的

对于第三题很困惑   这种级别的细节题  真的得全篇去找答案吗？那基本就是从头到尾要重新看一遍  因为选项中的5个答案  在初看之后其实没有一个是没有提到的  

另外，那个正确答案spirituals，唯一解题线索是borrow，第一遍看不可能记下来这么个小细节。况且，仔细回原文找，原文也说了他在一系列（包括spiritual）的音乐形式上比其他classical musician要experienced，非常让人纠结。  

希望有大神能够给点指点，这种题做题方法最优方式，以及选出spiritual在上面的两个纠结点情况下，要怎么确定呢？
