Born in 1901 in New Orleans,he grew up poor,but lived among great musicians.Jazz was invented in the city a few years before his birth.Armstrong often said,“Jazz and I grew up together.”
Armstrong showed a great talent(天赋) for music when he was taught to play the cornet(短号) at a boy’s home.In his late teens,Armstrong began to live the life of a musician.He played in parades,clubs,and on the steamboats that travelled on the Mississippi River.At that time,New Orleans was famous for the new music of jazz and was home to many great musicians.Armstrong learned from the older musicians and soon became respected as their equal.
In 1922 he went to Chicago.There,the tale of Louis Armstrong begins.From then until the end of his life,Armstrong was celebrated and loved wherever he went.Armstrong had no equal when it came to playing the American popular song.
His cornet playing had a deep humanity(仁爱) and warmth that caused many listeners to say,“Listening to Pops just makes you feel good all over.”He was the father of the jazz style(风格) and also one of the best-known and most-admired people in the world.His death,on July 6,1971,was headline news around the world.

答案
小题1:B
小题2:C
小题3:C
小题4:B
解析
小题1:这是一道细节题。根据第一段中的“Musicians often called him Pops,as a sign of respect for his influence on the world of music.”和第三段中的“In his late teens,Armstrong began to live the life of a musician...Armstrong learned from the older musicians and soon became respected as their equal.”可判断出Armstrong之所以被称之为Pops是因为他是具有影响的音乐家。
小题2:这是一道推断题。短文的第三段讲述了Armstrong在童年是显露出音乐天赋、在青少年开始过着音乐家的生活、以后成名，由此可推断出这一段是按时间顺序写作的。
小题3:这是一道正误判断题。根据最后一段中的“His cornet playing had a deep humanity and warmth that caused many listeners to say,‘Listening to Pops just makes you feel good all over.’”可判断出选项C是正确的。
小题4:这是一道标题选择题。这篇短文讲述了Armstrong成为爵士乐之父的过程，短文的最后一段中的“He was the father of the jazz style and also one of the best-known and most admired people in the world.”点明了这篇短文的主题，所以最好的题目应该是：The Father of the Jazz Style
