She also recognized that there havent been many women in the ranks of NEA Jazz Masters: fewer than 20, out of 145.That idea led her to reflect on her predecessors (前任): legendary singers like Betty Carter, who was seated back in 1992, and Abbey Lincoln, who received the nod in 2003.Bridgewater sought inspiration and advice from both Carter and Lincoln, as she recalls in this period of Jazz Night, which features music recorded during the season opener for Jazz at Lincoln Center.On a program called “Songs of Freedom”， organized by drummer Ulysses Owens, Jr., Bridgewater sang material associated with Lincoln as well as Nina Simone: an extremely angry song of the civil rights movement, like “Mississippi Goddam”A separate concert, “Songs We Love”， found Bridgewater singing less politically charged (but still exciting) fare like “St.James Infirmary”， which appears on her most recent album.In words as well as music, this period reveals how seriously Bridgewater takes that responsibility, seeing as how it connects to her own experience in the jazz lineage.But maybe “seriously” isnt the right word when it comes to Dee Dee, whose effervescence (欢腾) shines through even in a reflective mood.Join her here for a while; shes excellent company, no more or less so now that mastery is officially a part of her resume.12What did Bridgewater think of her winning the award?AIt confused her.BIt was beyond her expectation.CIt won great popular support for her.DIt gave her much confidence about her career.13What can we learn about the musicians winning NEA Jazz Masters?AWomen ranked higher than men.BMen accounted for a bigger part of them.CMost of them were unwilling to retire at first.DMany of them received the award at an early age.14Who is more likely to have a great influence on Bridgewater?ACarter and Lincoln.BUlysses and Lincoln.CNina Simone and Carter.DNina Simone and Ulysses.15What does the last paragraph mainly talk about?ABridgewaters music theme.BBridgewaters music experience.CBridgewaters personal characters.DBridgewaters great achievements.【答案与解析】12B推理判断题。根据第一段中“It was so far out of my orbit and just my whole sphere of thinking”可知，获奖一事出乎迪迪布里姬沃特的意料。13B细节理解题。根据第二段中“there havent been many women in the ranks of NEA Jazz Masters: fewer than 20, out of 145.”可知，在获奖的145位歌手中，女性不到20位。14A细节理解题。根据第三段中“Bridgewater sought inspiration and advice from both Carter and Lincoln”可知，布里姬沃特向卡特和林肯寻求灵感和建议。15A主旨大意题。综览最后一段可知，其内容主要介绍了迪迪布里姬沃特的音乐主题。.七选五As the famous poem “Youth” has written，“Youth is not a time of life，its a state of
