问题            Early attempts to appreciate popular music concentrated almost exclusively
       on the American scene. For example, the music critic Adorno focused his
       analysis on the cultural hegemony achieved by the ruling classes through the
Line    manipulation of musical semiotics in rapidly developing forms of mass
(5)      communication. The primacy of American forms on radio and record at this time
       was pronounced,  but it seems unfortunate that Adorno, in particular,
       concentrated his gaze exclusively on the most commercial forms of mainstream
       pop, ignoring counter-cultural developments within the USA, such as blues,
       jazz and gospel, or without. Although he was writing into the sixties, the
(10)     explosion of rock ’n’ roll and the proliferation of forms that it yielded seem not
       to have affected him, nor that of the rapid development of a radically different
       form of popular music in the Caribbean, such as Calypso. His trenchant analysis
       offered much in understanding the hegemony and manipulation of meaning in
       advanced capitalist societies, but less laudable is his tendency to perceive
(15)     popular music as an exclusively American form, and as monolithic and
       undifferentiated. [br] In lines 11 - 12, the phrase "radically different form" refers to
选项 A、pop music in relation to non-pop music in the Caribbean
B、music different from that which Adorno had previously considered
C、a style of popular music that did not exist in the United States
D、music which was outside the control of mass communication
E、the influence of rock ’n’ roll, or lack thereof, on Calypso
答案 C
解析
