Material culture refers to the touchable, material"things"—physical objects that can be seen, held, felt, used—that a culture produces. Examining a nation’s material culture can tell us about the group’s history and way of life. Similarly, research into the material culture of music can help us understand the music culture. The most vivid way, of course, is musical instruments. We cannot hear for ourselves the actual sound of any musical performance before the 1870s when the phonograph was invented, so we rely on instruments for important information about music culture, their remote past and their development.
Here we have two kinds of evidence: instruments well preserved and pictures of instruments in art. Through the study of instruments, as well as preserved paintings, written documents, and so on, we can explore the movement of music from the Near East to China over a thousand years ago, or we can outline the spread of the influence of the eastern countries to Europe that results in the development of most of the instruments on the symphony orchestra.
Sheet music or printed music, too is material culture. Printed versions limit variety because they tend to standardize any song, yet folk music stimulates people to create new and different songs. Besides, the ability to read music notation(乐谱)has a far-reaching effect on musicians and, when it becomes widespread, on the music culture as a whole.
One more important part of music’s material culture is the influence of the electronic media-radio, record player, tape recorder, television, and video cassette, with the future promising talking and singing computers and other developments. This is all part of the" information revolution, " a twentieth century phenomenon as important as the industrial revolution was in the nineteenth. These electronic media are not just limited to modern nations:they have affected music cultures all over the globe. They have brought about changes to traditional music instruments. [br] It can be learned from the second paragraph that______.
选项
A、the existence of the symphony was attributed to the spread of Near Eastern and Chinese Music
B、Near Eastern music had influence on the instruments in the symphony orchestra
C、the development of the symphony shows the mutual influence of Eastern and Western Music
D、the musical instruments in the symphony based on that of Near Eastern music
答案
B
解析
此题是事实推断题,要求在理解第二段的基础上对选项作出判断。重点考查的是对第二段最后一句话的后半部分“or we can outline the spread of the influence of the eastern countries to Europe that results in the development of most of the instruments on the symphony orchestra”的理解。这句话的意思是,“一些东方国家对欧洲音乐的影响就促使交响乐团内的大部分乐器的产生”,所以,表述正确的选项是B。
