5、ous in order to make money.答案：13.DCDFrom the blues to popEarly jazzToday I will take a brief look at how Western music progressed from the blues to pop. Modern pop music has its roots in the folk songs of black Americans held in slavery. During the late part of the 19th century, black musicians used
6、 these folk songs to create a kind of music called the blues, because it had a tendency to be very sad. While the blues was popular， as a musical format it lacked variety and was too sad and slow to dance to. Thus, from the blues, there sprung up a faster, livelier kind of music called jazz.Louis Ar

10、将简要地回顾一下西方音乐是如何从蓝调音乐发展到流行乐的。现代流行音乐起源于奴隶制时期美国黑人的民歌。在19世纪晚期，黑人音乐家们根据这些民歌创造了一种被称作蓝调音乐(又译布鲁斯)的音乐形式，因为这种音乐有忧伤的趋势。尽管蓝调音乐非常受欢迎，但作为一种音乐形式，它缺少变化，而且太伤感、节奏太慢，不适合跳舞时伴奏。于是，从蓝调音乐中发展出一种节奏更轻快、更活泼的音乐形式，叫做爵士乐。黑人小号手及歌手路易斯阿姆斯特朗是爵士乐的创始人之一。与其他大部分按照写好的乐谱演奏的音乐家不同，他会在演奏时即兴改变原来的曲子，以反映他演奏时的心情。其他的乐手开始模仿他的风格以及他赋予音乐的自由。在演奏时可以即兴改
11、编音乐成为爵士乐的主要特征之一。From R & B to rock and rollFrom the early 1930s to the early 1950s, traditional jazz went into a gradual decline， and was replaced by a new musical trend known as rhythm and blues， or R & B.
