(二)语法功能词。 测试标的涉及语法功能词的空缺在PETS试卷中的比例还是比较大的，语法功能词与实义词的不同之处在于这些词是语法信息的载体，即功能词所含的语法方面的信息量特别大，在这个意义上，我们把代词和助动词(包括情态动词)也归入功能词的范畴。这类空格的选择主要涉及考生的语法知识。如：． Music comes in many forms；most countries have a style 0f their own·—l—the tum。l the century when iazz(爵士乐)was born，America had no prominent—2—of its own·No one knows exactly when jazz was 3．orbv whom，but it began to be—4—in the early 1 900s．Jazz is America g contribution 5 music．1n contrast m classical music，which—6—formal European traditions，jazz is spontaneou。and lree-trom. lt bubbles with energy，一7 the moods，‘interest，and emoti’ons。f the people·In the 1920s jazz一8 like America．and 9 it does today．The—10—。f this music are as interesting．as the music—1—1-American Ncgroes．or blacks，as they are cailed today，were the jazz—12—．They were brought t。Southern States 13slayes．They were sold t0 plantation owners and forced to work long—14—．Whell a Negro died his friends and relatives15a processt’on to carry he body to the cemetery．In New 0rlcans，a band often accompa—nide the 16．On me way to the cemetery the band played slow，s()lemn music suited to the occasion．——17 on the way home the mood changed．Spirits 1med．Death had removed one 0f meiT—18—，but the liring were glad to be alive．The band played—19—musk，improvising(即兴表演)on both the harmon~and the mlldy of the tunes20at the funeral．This music made everyone want to dance．It was an early f01311 Of jazz． 1．A．ByB．AtC．InD．0n 2．A．musicB．songC．melodyD．styl。 3．A．discoveredB．actedC．inventedD．designed 4．A．noticedB．foundC．1istenedD．heard 5．A．classicalB．sacredC．popular D．1ight 6．A．formsB．followsC．approaehesD．introduces 7．A．expressingB．explainingC．exposing D．illustrating 8．A．appearedB．feltC．seemedD．sounded 9．A．asB．soC．either D．neithef 10．A．originsB．originalsC．distoveries D．resources 11．A．concernedB．itselfC．availableD．oneself 12．A．playersB．followersC．fansD．pioneers 13．A．forB．asC．withD．})y 14．A。monthsB．weeksC．hours D．times 15．A．demonstratedB．composedC．hostedD．f10rifled 16．A．demonstrationB．processionC．badyD．mareh 17．A．EvenB．TherefloreC．Furthermore D．But 18．A．humberB．memberC．bodiesD．relations 19．A．sadB．solemllC．happyD．funeral 20．A．whistledB．sungC．presentedD．showed (参考答案：1．B，2．D，3．C，4．D，5．c，6．B，7．A，8．D，9．A，10．A．11．B．12．D，13．B，14．C．15．D，16．B，17．D。18．D．19．C，20．C。)
