Text 4Material culture refers to the touchable, material “things”—physical objects that can be seen, held, felt, used—that a culture produces. Examining a culture’s tools and technology can tell us about the group’s history and way of life. Similarly, research into the material culture of music can help us to understand the music-culture. The most vivid body of “things” in it, of course, are 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-cultures in the remote past and their development. Here we have two kinds of evidence: instruments well preserved 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 on the symphony orchestra.Sheet music or printed music, too, is material culture. Scholars once defined folk music-cultures as those in which people learn and sing music by ear rather than from print, but research shows mutual influence among oral and written sources during the past few centuries in Europe, Britain and America. Printed versions limit variety because they tend to standardize any song, yet they stimulate people to create new and different songs. Besides, the ability to read music notation has a far-reaching effect on musicians and, when it becomes widespread, on the music-culture as a whole.Music is deep-rooted in the cultural background that fosters it. We now pay more and more attention to traditional or ethnic features in folk music and are willing to preserve the folk music as we do with many traditional cultural heritage. Musicians all over the world are busy with recording classic music in their country for the sake of their unique culture. As always, people’s aspiration will always focus on their individuality rather than universal features that are shared by all cultures alike.One more important part of music’s material culture should be singled out: the influence of the electronic media—radio, record player, tape recorder, and television, 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 in the nineteenth. These electronic media are not just limited to modern nations; they have affected music-cultures all over the globe.第36题:Which of the following does not belong to material culture?[A] Instruments.[B] Music.[C] Paintings.[D] Sheet music.

材料:Ships entering piracy risk areas must be aware of the risk of attack and should take appropriate measures to increase the level of surveillance(监督)and security on board and devise means of responding to attacks.A clear and comprehensive Ship Security Plan and the training of crews in security measures and response techniques are essential.Without clearly defined and rigorously practiced procedures,the risk of an uncoordinated response during the inevitable confusion of an attack increases the danger faced by those on board the ship.While a Ship Security Plan and crew training may not prevent an attack they should help reduce the risks if an attack takes place.Attacks by pirates or armed robbers pose an immediate threat to the safety of a ship and individual crew members.When responding to attacks,masters and crews should seek to minimize the risk to those on board and maintain effective control over the safe navigation of the ship. Finally,it is important that all incidents of piracy and armed robbery,even minor incidents,are reported in detail to the appropriate authorities as soon as practicable.Accurate knowledge of the type and extent of piracy and armed robbery of ships is valuable for assessing the risk and formulating a comprehensive response.问题:The passage implies the following except ______.A.Safety of lives onboard and the control of the safe navigation of the ship are the priority considerations when making decisions in responding to attacksB.A clear and comprehensive Ship Security Plan can be developed by notifying the appropriate authorities of piracy-related informationC.The risk of an uncoordinated response during the inevitable confusion of an attack could be decreased by clearly defined and well practiced proceduresD.The communication of piracy-related information is a useful mechanism for anti-piracy ActionsWithout clearly defined and rigorously practiced procedures,the risk of an uncoordinated response during the inevitable confusion of an attack increases the danger faced by those on board the ship.A.frequentlyB.perioicallyC.occasionallyD.strictlyWhich of the following is not mentioned as the measures taken for anti-piracy ___________.A.Risk assessment and Ship Security PlanB.security alarming system onboardC.Practices of proceduresD.communication of piracy- or security- related informationWhich of the following is correct according to the passage ___________.A.A Ship Security Plan can always define clear and comprehensive proceduresB.Rigorously practiced procedure can always prevent a piracy attackC.A well-designed Ship Security Plan and the training of crews are significant for anti-piracyD.A well-designed Ship Security Plan and the training of crews can always prevent the ship from being attacked请帮忙给出每个问题的正确答案和分析,谢谢!

单选题It seems obvious that you don"t give away your product for free but this is exactly what indie rock group The Crimea did earlier this year. The band"s reasoning goes like this: more people will download the free album than would pay for it. Therefore more people will heat. The Crimea"s music. These people will then pay money for concerts by the band and perhaps buy a T-shirt or other merchandise. If the band play regular concerts to crowds of 200 or 300 people they can make more money than they would from sales of a CD. There will always be some people who want something they can hold in their hands so they will release the CD into the shops too—but making money through sales of their music isn"t the top priority.The story illustrates the creative thinking going on in the music business in response to dramatic changes over the last few years in the way that people buy music. Sales of music digitally—to computer, phones and MP3 players rose to $2 billion in 2006—an increase of almost 100 percent on the previous year—yet overall record company sales are down. People are simply not buying CDs in record shops in anything like the numbers they used to.This trend looks set to continue, so the big question for the music industry is whether they can successfully manage the move to being primarily a digital industry without profits falling to unacceptable levels.There are both positive and negative signs. On the plus side, more and more people are buying music on mobile phones, which allows people to make impulse purchases—they can buy a song as soon as they hear it. Research by the UK mobile operator 3 suggested that 75 percent of 16 to 24-year-olds wanted to buy a track they liked as soon as they heard it. With so much competition for people"s disposable income, a product that you can sell immediately is a big advantage.The bad news for record companies, however, is the amount of music that is downloaded illegally. Piracy—usually in the form of cheaply copied CD—has long been an issue for the music business but the Internet means music can be copied and distributed freely through file-sharing sites on a large scale than ever before.It is this situation that leads bands to start giving away their music for free and promises to make the next few years a very interesting time in the music business.What is true about sales of music over the last yearAOverall, sales are up last year.BOverall, sales are down last year.CThere is no change compared to previous sales.DIt is not mentioned in the passage.

问答题The following is a transcript of a statement made by a recording industry executive at an industry conference:  “The music recording industry is suffering grave economic losses due to the widespread piracy of digital music. This fate was an inevitable result of the industry’s misguided decision to switch from the analogue format of vinyl records to the digital formats used today on compact disks and computer files. Copying a vinyl record requires expensive and bulky machinery, whereas anyone with a computer and an Internet connection can start up a music piracy business. To boost music revenues, the recording industry should switch entirely back to the analogue format of vinyl records. Also, I can state with complete authority that music just sounds better on a vinyl record.”  Discuss how well-reasoned you find this argument. In your discussion, be sure to analyze the line of reasoning and the use of evidence in the argument. For example, you may need to consider what questionable assumptions underlie the thinking and what alternative examples or counterexamples might weaken the conclusion. You can also discuss what sort of evidence would strengthen or refute the argument, what changes in the argument would make it more logically sound, and what, if anything, would help you better evaluate its conclusion.
