The close relationship between poetry and music scarcely needs to be argued. Both are aural modes which employ rhythm, rime and pitch as major devices; to those the one adds linguistic meaning, connotation and various traditional figures, and
the other
can add, at least in theory, all of these plus harmony, counterpoint and orchestration techniques. In English the two are closely bound historically. Anglo-Saxon heroic poetry seems certainly to have been read or chanted to a harpist’s accompaniment; the verb used in Beowulf for such a performance, the Finn episode, is singan, to sing, and the noun gyd, to song. A major source of the lyric tradition in English poetry is the songs of the troubadours.
The distance between the gyd in Beowulf and the songs of "Lenoard Cohen" or "Bob Dylan" may seem great, but is one of time rather than aesthetics. The lyric poem as a literary work and the lyrics of a popular song are both still essentially the same thing: poetry. Whether the title of the work be "Gerontion" or "Hound Dog", our criteria for evaluating the work must remain the same.
The most important prerequisite for both a significant poem and significant lyrics in a popular song is that the writer be faithful to his own personal vision or to the vision of the poem he is writing. Skill and craft for writing poetry are indeed necessary because these are the only means by which a poet can preserve the integrity of this vision in the poem. A poet must not, either because of lack of skill or because of worship of popularity, wealth, or critical acclaim, go outside of his own or his own poem’s vision— on pain of writing only the derivative or the trivial. Historically, the writers and singers of the lyrics of popular songs have seemed often to be incapable of personal vision, and to have confused both originality and morality with a servile compliance to popular taste.

答案
A
解析
语义题。原文第一段第二句指出,“Both are aural modes which employrhythm,rime and pitch as major devices;to these the one adds linguistic meaning,connotation and various traditional figures,and the other can add,at least in theory、all ofthese plus harmony,counterpoint and orchestration techniques.”再结合上一句诗歌与音乐的紧密关系,both便指这两者。原句意为,“诗歌与音乐都是听觉模式,需要运用韵律、谐韵和抑扬顿挫等方式:这一类可以加之以语言含义、内涵和许多传统人物,另一类,至少在理论上讲,可以运用上述所有外,还可以加上和声。对位和管弦乐等技法”。由此可看出,these指代诗歌,the other指代音乐。
