The Language of Music
A painter hangs his or her finished picture on a wall, and everyone can see it. A composer writes a work, but no one can hear it until it is performed. Professional singers and players have great responsibilities, for the composer is utterly dependent on them. A student of music needs as long and as arduous a training to become a performer as a medical student needs to become a doctor. Most training is concerned with technique, for musicians have to have the muscular proficiency of an athlete or a ballet dancer. Singers practice breathing every day, as their vocal chords would be inadequate without controlled muscular support. String players practice moving the fingers of the left hand up and down, while drawing the bow to and fro with the right arm—two entirely different movements.
Singers and instrumentalists have to be able to get every note perfectly in tune. Pianists are spared this particular anxiety, for the notes are already there, waiting for them, and it is the piano tuner’s responsibility to tune the instrument for them. But they have their own difficulties: the hammers that hit the strings have to be coaxed not to sound like percussion (撞击、碰撞) and each overlapping tone has to sound clear.
This problem of getting clear texture is one that confronts student conductors; they have to learn to know every note of the music and how it should sound, and they have to aim at controlling these sounds with fanatical (狂热的) but selfless authority.
Technique is of no use unless it is combined with musical knowledge and understanding. Great artists are those who are so thoroughly at home in the language of music that they can enjoy performing works written in any century.
Which of the following best states the main idea of the passage?
选项
A、It is easier to study medicine than music.
B、Painters and composers use totally different methods to reach the public.
C、All musicians must know how to time their own instruments.
D、Musicians must acquire technique and understanding to perform well.
答案
D
解析
主旨大意题。该题解题的最快捷方法是排除法 选项A中easier与原文不一致.“A student of music needs as long and as arduous a training to become a performer as a medical student needs to become a doctor.”说明学音乐的学生和学医的学生都需要漫长和艰苦的训练才可成为一名演奏者或医生。另外,选项A的信息在原文中只是一个细节,不可涵盖全文。选项B的信息在原文中只是开头的铺垫信息。选项C的信息与原文不符,其中的All尤其不对。根据原文第二段可知,钢琴家(演奏者)没有这种忧虑(调琴),因为钢琴是由琴师来调的,所以选项C的信息不对。选项D则准确地涵盖了全文内容。Musicians作为概括性的词,涵盖了全文有关信息、原文最后一段首句Technique是对上文的总结,musical knowledge and understanding则是对下文的启示。由此可见,正确答案是选项D。
