SHEET1.(40points)

Text 1

The decision of the New York philharmonic to hire Alan Gilbert as its next music director has been the talk of the classical-music

world ever since the sudden announcement of his appointment in 2009. For the most part, the response has been favorable, to say the least

“Hooray! A t last!” wrote Anthony Tommasini, a sober-sided classical-music critic

One of the reason why the appiontment came as such a surprise, however, is that Gilber is commparatively little known Even

Tommasini, who had advocated Gilbert’s appointment in the Times, calls him “an unpretentious musician with no air of the formidable

conductor about him.”As a description of the next music director of an orchestra that has hitherto been led by musicians like Gustav

Mahler and Pierre Boulez, that semms likely to have struck at least some Times readers as faint prwise

For my part, I have no idea whether Gilbert is a great conductor or even a good one. To be sure, be performs an impressive variety of

interesting composition, but it is not necessary for me to visit Avery Fisher Hall, or anywhere else, to hear interesting orchestral music. All

I have to do is to go to my CD shelf, or boot up my computer amd download still more recorded music form iTumes

Devoted concertgoers who reply that recording are no substitute for live performance are missing the point. For the time, attention,

and money of the art-loving public, classical instrumentalists must compete not only with opera houses, dance troupes , theeater

companies, and museums, but also with the recorsed performances of the great classical musicians of the 20th century. There recording

are cheap, available everwhere, and very often much higher in artistic quality than today’s choosing. The widespread availabilyty of such

recording has thus brought about a ctisis in the institution of the traditional classical councert

One possible reponse is for classical performers to program attravtive new music that is not yet available on recors. Gilbert’s own

interest in new music has been widely noted: Alex Ross , a classical-music critic, has described him as a man who is capable of turning

the Phiharmonic into “a markedly different, more vibrant organization” But what will be the nature of that difference? Merely, expanding

the orchestra’s repertorre will not be enough. If Gilbert and thr Philharmonic are to succeed, they must first change the relationship

between America’a olderest orchestra and the new audience it hops to attract.

21.We learn from Para 1 that Gilbert’s appointment has

[A]incured criticism

[B]raised suspicion

[C]raceived acclaim

[D]around curiousity

22.Tommasini regards Gilbert as an artist who is

[A]influential

[B]modest

[C]respectable

[D]talented

23. The auther believes that the devoted concertgoers

[A]ingore the expense of live performance

[B]reject most kinds of recorded performance

[C]exaggerate the variety of live performanc

[D]overestimate the variety of live performance 24.According to the text, which of the following is true of recordings?

[A]They are often interror to live concerts in quality

[B]They are easily accessible to the genral public

[C]They help improve the quality of music

[D]They have only convered masterpieces

25.Regarding Gilbert’s role in revitalixing the Philharmonic, the authir feels

[A]doubtful

[B]enthusisastic

篇1

Today I'm going to talk about this super long and kind of

boring reading passage from the 2011 National Postgraduate

Entrance Examination. It's called "text 4" and it's all about how

animals communicate with each other. So basically, it's like a big

science lesson about how animals talk to each other without

using words like we do.

First off, the passage talks about how animals use sounds,

body language, and even chemicals to communicate. So like,

whales and dolphins make all kinds of cool noises to talk to each

other underwater, and insects use pheromones to send

messages to their buddies.

But the passage also says that humans are super unique

because we can like, communicate in really complex ways. We

can use language and symbols to share ideas and feelings, which
