53、合国教科文组织设立爵士乐纪念日,以及音乐人士Jason Moran为了不让爵士乐消亡而做了很多努力。把这几点概括起来就可得出文章的主旨:探索爵士乐的未来。B项曲解文意,文章没有介绍爵士乐的兴衰;C项无中生有,文章没有讲述“一个爵士音乐家的故事”;D项“庆祝爵士乐纪念日”以偏概全,不是文章的主要内容。因此,考生只有具备了概括性思维能力,才不会错选其他选项。二、聚焦核心价值本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了联合国教科文组织把4月30日定为国际爵士乐纪念日,以此提高人们对爵士乐价值的认识,并保护爵士乐,旨在引导学生关注音乐的发展。青少年热爱音乐,喜欢与音乐有关的艺术知识。青少年不仅需要智育,更需要美育。关
