When jazz began to lose its reputation as "low-down" music and to gain well-deserved acclaim among
intellectuals, musicians began to feature many instruments previously considered inappropriate for jazz. Whereas before
the 1950s, jazz musicians played only eight basic instruments in strict in strict tempo, in this decade they started to
improvise on the flute, electric organ, piccolo, accordion, cello, and even bagpipes, with the rhythm section composed for
strings or piano. Big bands no longer dominated jazz, and most changes emerged from small combos, such as the Dave
Brubeck Quartet and the Gerry Mulligan Quartet. The Gerry Mulligan Quartet proved that a small, modern band could
sound complete without a piano, the rhythm section consisted only of a set of drums and a string bass.
Jazz continued to move in new directions during the 1960s. Saxophonist and composer Omette Coleman led a
quartet playing "free" jazz that was atonal. Pianist Cecil Taylor also conducted similar experiments with music, and John
Coltrane included melodies from India in his compositions. In the 1970s musicians blended jazz and rock music into
fusion jazz which combined the melodies and the improvisations of jazz with the rhythmic qualities of rock "n" roll with
three or five beats to the bar and in other meters. The form of jazz music was greatly affected by electronic instruments
and electronic implements to intensify, distort, or amplify their sounds. However, the younger musicians of the time felt
compelled to include a steady, swinging rhythm which they saw as a permanent and essential element in great jazz.

The technology of the North American Colonies did not differ strikingly from that of Europe, but in one respect, the
colonists enjoyed a great advantage. Especially by comparison with Britain, Americans had a wonderfully plentiful supply
of wood.
The first colonists did not, as many people imagine, find an entire continent covered by a climax forest. Even
along the Atlantic seaboard, the forest was broken at many points. Nevertheless, all sorts of fine trees abounded, and
through the early colonial period, those who pushed westward encountered new forests. By the end of the Colonial era,
the price of wood had risen slightly in eastern cities, but wood was still extremely abundant.
The availability of wood brought advantages that have seldom been appreciated. Wood was a foundation of the
economy. Houses and all manner of buildings were made of wood to a degree unknown in Britain. Secondly, wood was
used as a fuel for heating and cooking. Thirdly, it was used as the source of important industrial compounds, such as
potash, an industrial alkali; charcoal, a component of gunpowder; and tannic acid, used for tanning leather.
The supply of wood conferred advantages, but had some negative aspects as well. Iron at that time was produced
by heating iron ore with charcoal. Because Britain was stripped of trees, she was unable to exploit her rich iron mines. But
the American colonies had both iron ore and wood; iron production was encouraged and became successful. However
when Britain developed coke smelting, the Colonies did not follow suit because they had plenty of wood and besides,
charcoal iron was stronger than coke iron. Coke smelting led to technological innovations and was linked to the
emergence of the Industrial Revolution. In the early nineteenth century, the former Colonies lagged behind Britain in
industrial development because their supply of wood led them to cling to charcoal iron.
43. What does the passage mainly discuss?
A. The advantages of using wood in the colonies B. The effects of an abundance of wood on the colonies
C. The roots of the industrial Revolution D. The difference between charcoal iron and coke iron

A. They contained only a few types of trees. B. They existed only along the Atlantic seaboard.
C. They had little or no economic value. D. They covered the entire continent.
45. The word "abounded" in line 5 is closest in meaning to
A. were present in large numbers. B. were restricted to certain areas
C. were cut down D. were cultivated
46. According to the passage, by the end of the Colonial period, the price of wood in eastern cities
A. rose quick because wood was becoming so scarce
B. was much higher than it was in Britain
C. was slightly higher than in previous years
D. decreased rapidly because of lower demand for wood
47. What can be inferred about houses in Britain during the period written about in the passage?
A. They were more expensive than American houses. B. They were generally built with imported materials.
C. They were typically smaller than homes in North America. D. They were usually built from materials other than wood.
48. Why does the author mention gunpowder in line 11?
A. To illustrate the negative aspects of some industrial processes
B. To give an example of a product made with wood compounds
C. To remind readers that the Colonial era ended in warfare
D. To suggest that wood was not the only important product of the Colonies
49. The phrase “follow suit” in line 15 means
A. do the same thing B. make an attempt C. have the opportunity D. take a risk
50. According to the passage, why was the use of coke smelting advantageous?
A. It led to advances in technology. B. It was less expensive than wood smelting.
