[問題]PP Test1 reading 第21篇 Q230

[游客]

Of all the musical riches that exist in our lives,
the orchestra affords us the most varied source of
genuine listening pleasure. Countless communities
look upon their local orchestras, whether small or
large, as their most treasured cultural possessions.
Many of the larger orchestral ensembles maintain
fairly extensive travel schedules that bring them
to towns and cities without a regular orchestra of
their own.
In addition, the great orchestras of the world
can now reach even the most remote areas due
to a profusion of recorded performances, as well
as through radio and television broadcasts. An
enormous repertoire is available for anyone who
cares to listen. Works in this repertoire range from
early orchestral literature for smaller orchestras to
grand creations written for the full orchestra by major
composers, from the giant orchestral masterpieces
to the avant-garde complexities of modern times.
Without a doubt, the orchestra has become the
most important vehicle for the transmission of musical
thought. The musicians within the orchestra's ranks
enrich their community immeasurably by ensuring
that new generations of musicians, or simply music
lovers, are given the kind of superior instruction that
only an actively engaged, practicing musician can
impart. In Europe, orchestras usually enjoy either direct
or indirect government support. In the United States
--- where there are today close to one thousand
orchestras of all sizes and of varying importance ---
it is more a matter of civic consciousness and pride
for the people of local communities to take on the
responsibility of supporting their orchestras, thereby
getting personally involved in individual as well as
group efforts in behalf of music. However, these
private contributions rarely keep an orchestra out
of debt, and some public funds are used in the
United States to support orchestras. For example,
the National Endowment for the Arts, an independent
federal agency, distributes a portion of its funds to
orchestra societies.
Both in a musical and sociological sense, the
orchestra today occupies a central position in our
cultural life. A look at the evolution of the orchestra
not only provides us with invaluable insight into the
development of music but also affords us a capsule
history of the patronage of the arts.


230. The passage mentions all of
the following methods used by
orchestra members to encourage
music appreciation EXCEPT

まA.touring
まB.teaching
まC.writing new pieces of music
まD.recording performances


ANS:C

我覺得這題怪怪的咧
真的勉強有teaching的意味
我猜大概是下面這段吧
" Without a doubt, the orchestra has become the
most important vehicle for the transmission of musical

enrich their community immeasurably by ensuring
that new generations of musicians, or simply music
lovers, are given the kind of superior instruction that

選項C是真的完全看沒有到
(ps:我也選錯了...在沒有查單字的狀況下)

This is really a tough one.
In this sentence, "An enormous repertoire is available for anyone who cares to listen. ",
it basically tries to say a lot of music is available there for people.
The whole section in red further explains what the music set is.
--
Works in this repertoire range from
early orchestral literature for smaller orchestras to
grand creations written for the full orchestra by major
composers, from the giant orchestral masterpieces
to the avant-garde complexities of modern times.
--
This music set basically is written by major composers.

So for the member of orchestras, they probably don't write new music by themselves.
They use the existing one coming from the composers.

他題目是問,下列除了那個沒有.
所以應該是沒有教這個東西吧.
