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.
Which of the following best summarized the main idea of the passage? ______.
选项
A、Musical instruments developed through the years will sooner or later be replaced by computers.
B、Music cannot be passed on to future generation unless it is recorded.
C、Folk songs cannot spread far unless they are printed on music sheets.
D、The development of music culture is highly dependent on its material aspect.
答案
D
解析
此题考查的是文章的主旨,属于事实推理题,需要在理解全文的基础上进行判断。纵观全文可知,文章主要讲述了物质文化对音乐文化的影响,并且在文章开头第一段就提到了“research into the material culture of music can help us to understand the music culture”(研究音乐的物质文化可以帮助我们理解音乐文化)。所以,正确答案为D。
