Section Ⅱ Reading Comprehension
Passage 1
Material culture refers to what can be en, held, felt, ud—what a culture produces. Examining a culture"s tools and technology can tell us about the group"s history and way
of life. Similarly, rearch into the material culture of music can help us to understand the music culture. The most vivid body of material culture in it, of cour, is musical instruments. We cannot hear for ourlves 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 cultures in the remote past and their development. Here we have two kinds of evidence: instruments well prerved and instruments pictured in art. Through the study of instruments, as well as 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 Near Eastern influence to Europe that resulted in the development of most of the instruments in the symphony orchestra.
Sheet music or printed music, too, is material culture. Scholars once defined folk music cultures as tho in which people learn and sing music by ear rather than from print, but rearch shows mutual influence among oral and written sources during the past few centuries in Europe, Britain, and America. Printed versions limit variety becau they tend to standardize any song, yet they stimulate people to create new and different songs. Bes
ides, the ability to read music notation has a far-reaching effect on music and, when it becomes widespread, on the music culture as a whole.
One more important part of music"s material culture should be singled out: the influence of the electronic media—radio, record player, tape recorder, television, and videocastte, 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. The electronic media are not just limited to modern nations; they have affected music cultures all over the globe.
1. Rearch into the material culture of a nation is of great importance becau______.
A. it helps produce new cultural tools and technology
B. it can reflect the development of the nation
C. it helps understand the nation"s past and prent
D. it can demonstrate the nation"s civilization
2. It can be learned from this passage that______.
A. the existence of the symphony was attributed to the spread of Near Eastern and Chine music
orm
B. Near Eastern music had an influence on the development of 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 orchestra were developed on the basis of Near Eastern music
3. According to the author, music notation is important becau______.
A. it has a great effect on the music culture as more and more people are able to read it
