Soon Chicago was
29、the new center for jazz. Several outstanding musicians emerged as leading jazz artists in Chicago. Danie Louis “Satchmo“ Armstrong, born in New Orleans in 1900, was one. Another leading musician was Joseph “King“ Oliver, who is also credited with having discovered Armstrong when they were both in Ne
30、w Orleans. While in Chicago, Oliver asked Armstrong, who was in New Orleans, to join his hand. In 1923 King Olivers Creole Jazz Band made the first important set of recordings by a Hot Five and Hot Seven bands under Louis Armstrong also made recordings of special note. Although Chicagos South Side w
31、as the main jazz center, some musicians in New York were also demanding attention in jazz circles. In 1923 Fletcher Henderson already had a ten- piece band played jazz. During the early 1930s, the number of players grew to sixteen. Hendersons band was considered a leader in what some people have cal
32、led the Big Band Era. By the 1930s, big dance bands were the rage. Large numbers of people went to ballrooms to dance to jazz music played by big bands. One of the most popular and long a very famous jazz band was the Buke Ellington band. Elward “Duke“ Ellington was born in Washington D. C. in 1899
33、and died in New York City in 1974. He studied the piano as a young boy and later began writing original musical compositions. The first of Ellingtons European tours came in 1933.

38、d many of the worlds great writers, Before considering this question, it will be useful to introduce some related concepts. Conflict, defined as opposition among social entities directed against one another, is distinguished from competition, defined as opposition among social entities independently
39、 striving for something which is in inadequate supply. Competitors may not be a ware of one another, while the parties to a conflict are. Conflict and competition are both categories of opposition, which has been defined as a process by which social entities function in the disservice of one another
40、. Opposition is thus contrasted with cooperation, the process by which social entities function in the service of one another. These definitions are necessary because it is important to emphasize that competition between individuals or groups is in- evitable in a world of limited resources. But conf
41、lict is not. Conflict, nevertheless, is very likely to occur, and is probably an essential and desirable element of human societies. Many authors have argued for the inevitability of war from the premise that in the struggle for existence among animal species, only the fittest survive. In general, h
42、owever, this struggle in nature is competition, not conflict. Social animals, such as monkeys and cattle, fight to win or maintain leadership of the group. The struggle for existence occurs riot in such fights, but in the competition for limited feeding areas and for the occupancy(占有 )of areas free
43、from meat-eating animals. Those who fail in this competition starve to death or be come victims to other species. This struggle for existence does not resemble human war, but rather the competition of individuals for jobs, markets, and materials. The essence of the struggle is the competition for th
44、e necessities of life that are insufficient to satisfy all. Among nations there is competition in developing resources, trades, skills, and a satisfactory way of life. The successful nations grow and prosper(繁荣 );the unsuccessful decline. While it is true that this competition may induce efforts to
45、expand territory at the expense of others, and thus lead to conflict, it cannot be said that war-like conflict among nations is inevitable, although competition is. 51 In the first paragraph, the author gives the definitions of some terms in order to _. （ A） argue for the similarities between animal
46、 societies and human societies （ B） smooth out the conflicts in human societies （ C） distinguish between two kinds of opposition （ D） summarize the characteristic features of opposition and cooperation 52 According to the author competition differs from conflict in that_. （ A） it results in war in m
47、ost eases （ B） it induces efforts to expand territory （ C） it is a kind of opposition among social entities （ D） it is essentially a struggle for existence 53 The phrase “function in the disservice of one another“(Line para. 1) most probably means“_“. （ A） betray each other （ B） harm one another （ C
48、） help to collaborate with each other （ D） benefit one another 54 The author indicates in the passage that conflict _. （ A） is an inevitable struggle resulting from competition （ B） reflects the struggle among social animals （ C） is an opposition among individual social entities （ D） can be avoided
49、55 The passage is probably intended to answer the question“_“. （ A） Is war inevitable? （ B） Why is there conflict and competition? （ C） Is conflict desirable? （ D） Can competition lead to conflict? 55 The word health can be used in a number of ways.
