Passage Two

  【29】In western culture music is regarded as good by birth, and sounds that are welcome are said to be "music to the ears". In some other cultures for example, Islamic culture——it is of low value, associated with sin and evil. In the West and in the high cultures of Asia, it is said that there are three types of music. First, 【30】classical music, composed and performed by trained professionals originally under the support of courts and religious establishments; second, folk music, shared by the population at large and passed on orally; and third, 【30】popular music, performed by professionals, spread through radio, television, records, films, and print, and consumed by the urban mass public.

  Music is a major component in religious services, theatre, and entertainment of all sorts. 【31】The most universal use of music is as a part of religious ritual. Another less obvious function of music is social adherence. Music also symbolizes military, patriotic and funeral moods and events. In a more general sense, music may express the central social values of a society. In western music, the interrelationship of conductor and orchestra symbolizes the need for strong cooperation among various kinds of specialists in a modern industrial society.

  Questions 29 to 31 are based on the passage you've just heard.

  29. In what culture is music regarded as good by birth?

  30. Which of the following is performed by professionals?

  31. According to the passage, what is the most universal use of music?

  29. 答案C

  解析:根据选项,考生要特别判断音乐在不同文化中的地位。听力一开始,就说在西方文化中,音乐地位很高,而在Islamic(伊斯兰)文化中,音乐价值很低,所以C为正确选项。

  答案B

  解析:根据选项,考生要关注不同音乐形式之间的异同。听力接下来讲到三种音乐形式,古典音乐是有专业人士谱曲演奏,民间音乐却在人民大众之间分享,而流行音乐也是由专业人员表演。从中,考生可以总结,古典音乐和流行音乐都是由专业人士制作。

  答案D

  解析:考生已经确定本篇听力的主题是音乐,所以从选项中可以推测问题是关于音乐的功能。听力第二段一开始,讲到音乐最普遍的功能是宗教仪式的一部分。选项A、B、C都是音乐的功能,却不是本篇听力认为的the most universal use of music。

  Passage Three

  William Shakespeare was christened in the market town of Stratford on Avon, Warwickshire, 【32】on April 26, 1564; traditionally; his actual birthday was three days earlier, on St. George's day, the same day as his death fifty-two years later. His father, John, was a respected middle-class trader, and his mother, Mary Arden, came from a family of local landowners. It seems probable that young William received a fair education (for his day) at the local Grammar School; 【33】at the age of eighteen he married a girl eight years older than himself, Anne Hathaway, who gave him a child the following year and twins in 1585. Little else is known of his early life, and so we cannot tell what made him decide to leave Stratford in 1586 for London, where he stayed until 1611. 【34】In London he must soon have attracted attention, because by 1592 he was a popular enough writer and actor to be laughed at by an older dramatist as an uneducated Jack of all trades. He is mentioned as being among the principal actors of the city as early as 1598, and 【35】in 1599 we find that he is a member of the company running the Globe Theater, with one-tenth interest in the profits—showing a business sense rarely seen in his fellow writers. His popularity is indicated by the fact that not only were his own plays published under his name, which was a rare procedure in his day, but also plays by others are to be found attributed to him, as if to indicate that his name alone would promise a good sale.
