Passage Two
Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.
Music which is original is individual and personal. That is to say, it can be
identified as belonging to a particular
composer. It has particular qualities, or a style, which are not copied from
another. If you can recognize the style
of a composer, you will probably be able to tell that a certain composition belongs
to him or her even though you
have never heard it before. A basket-maker has the skill of weaving and
interweaving his materials to create colorful
patterns, and an expert carpenter(木匠)has the skill of joining together
different shapes and sizes of wood to
make a beautiful piece of furniture. These skills may be referred to as
"workmanship"(技艺). Similarly, in music
a composer organizes his melodies(旋律)and rhythms and combines sounds to create
harmony. A composer may be capable
of thinking up very good, original tunes, yet if tunes are poorly organized, that
is, if the workmanship is poor,
the final result will not be to standard.
Good music expresses feelings in a way that is suitable to those feelings. There
may e joy, sorrow, fear, love, anger,
or whatever. Bad music, on the other hand, may confuse unrelated feelings, it
may not express any important feeling
at all, or it may exaggerate some feelings and make them vulgar, that is, cheap
and ugly.
Good music will stand the test of time. It will not go out of fashion but will
continue to be enjoyed and respected
long after it is first introduced. It will gain a kind of permanent status while
bad music will disappear and be
forgotten quickly. In pop music, where the general rule seems to be“the newer
the better”, the test of time is the
hardest test of all to pass.
26. A piece of original music ________.
[A] has a personal style
[B] sounds very familiar to our ears
[C] is one whose style you cannot recognize
[D] can not be recognized as belonging to any composer
27. We can see good workmanship in ________.
[A] different shapes and size of furniture
[B] materials for creating colourful patterns
[C] a piece of music with its melodies and rhythms organized in harmony
[D] a piece of music with very good, original tunes mixed together
28. A piece of music can be said to be good if _________.
[A] it helps to while away the hours
[B] it combines different rhythms and sounds
[C] it makes people forget their sorrows and worries quickly
[D] it expresses a certain feeling in a proper way
29.According to the last paragraph, “the test of time is the hardest of all to
pass” suggests that ________.
[A] the newer the music is, the harder it can pass the test of time
[B] it is most difficult for music to gain a kind of permanent status
[C] pop music will cease to be enjoyed soon after it is introduced
[D] good music needn’t pass the test of time

[C] how to judge music
[D] how to perform music 转贴于:自学考试_博学在线
Passage Three
Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.
To be“historically minded”is to see things I relation and in perspective, and
to judge tolerantly. We must remember
how differently men have thought and acted in different times. We must always
keep an open mind, ready to receive and
weigh new evidence. If we grasp this idea, we will never think that a historian
(历史学家)is someone who can remember
dates.
That childish idea is like calling a man a statesman(政治家)because he can
remember the names of voters in his
district.
A waiter could remember more names and a telephone operator more numbers than
the greatest historian.
The true historian is not content to take all his facts from other historians.
Today he makes sure that his statements
are based on sound“documents”or“sources”which go back to the time of the facts
themselves.
But the historian needs always to be in his guard not to be misled by his sources.
A document may not be a real one.
Its author may be lying on purpose for some reason. He may be so greatly influenced
by national, religious, party, or
personal backgrounds as to be totally unfair to the other side. If honest, he
may be misinformed as to the facts and
mistaken in his inferences.
Anyone who reads the accounts published in the different countries concerning
the causes and results of wars will
realize that the historian needs caution and training in handling these sources.
The trained historian asks first:
“Did this writer mean to tell the truth?”and second:“Was he in a position or
frame of mind to tell the truth even
if he wants to?”Every statement must be patiently weighed and tested and combined
with all other available information
in order to get at the
truth.
31. A “historically minded”researcher _________.
[A] always keeps an open mind to history
[B] looks at one historical event without relating it to another
[C] sees things from a single point of view
[D] refuses to accept new evidence
32. In Paragraph 1 the author means to illustrate that ________.
[A] different men think and act differently
[B] the study of history is not merely a matter of remembering dates
[C] a statesman can remember the names
[C] the user forgets the one-to-one correspondence between the map and reality
[D] the user overlooks the gap between the map and reality
24. “the invisible hand of the map maker”(in Paragraph 3)refers to ________ .
[A] the techniques used to create maps
[B] the subject matter of the map
[C] the symbols used in the map
[D] the final representation of the map
25. The last paragraph describes mainly ________ .
[A] how maps are created
[B] what the communication between the map maker and the reader is
[C] how the map maker translates reality into a picture
[D] how the reader converts the picture back into reality
