Today’ s trumpet is one of the world’ s oldest instruments. It is the result of many centuries of development. Although it looks nothing like its ancestors, there are many similarities. All trumpets are hollow tubes. They are all blown. And they all use the player’ s lips to produce the basic sound.
The trumpet developed as players and makers worked to improve its design, size, shape, material, and method of construction. They wanted to create an instrument that would produce a beautiful and attractive tone, enable the performer to play all the notes of the scale, extend the range higher and lower, make it possible to play more difficult music and, in general, be easier to play well. The remarkable way in which the modem trumpet achieves these goals is a measure of the success of all those who struggled to perfect this glorious instrument.
The trumpet is actually the leading member of an entire family of related instruments. There are trumpets of several different sizes, and in several different keys. There are cornets, bugles, and a number of others that are all similar to the trumpet in the way they are made and played.
The trumpet family is much more than a group of related instruments that can stir one with their sound, or narrow tubes of metal capable of producing a variety of musical sounds. It is a link to many different periods of history and to people of many cultures. From the use of trumpets in ancient religious ceremonies to the part they play in modern rock bands, the trumpet family of instruments has much to tell about civilization and its development.
Which of the following can be inferred about the first trumpet players?
选项
A、They could not play all the notes of the scale.
B、They had no difficulty improving upon the trumpet.
C、They could not play simple tunes.
D、They were not able to pick up the trumpet.
答案
A
解析
推断题。根据文章第二段中“They wanted to create an instrument that would…,enable the performer to play all the notes of the scale,…”可推断出最初的小号演奏者不能演奏出所有音阶的音调。故选A。
