For a century and a half the piano has been one of the most popular solo instruments for Western music. Unlike string and wind instruments, the piano is completely【C1】________ , as it is able to play both the melody and its accompanying harmony at the same time. For this reason, it became the favorite household【C2】________ of the nineteenth century.
The【C3】________ of the piano can be traced to the early keyboard instruments of the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries — the spinet, the dulcimer, and the virginal. In the seventeenth century the organ, the clavichord (古钢琴) , and the harpsichord (拨弦钢琴) became the【C4】________ instruments of the keyboard group, a domination they maintained until the piano replaced them at the end of the eighteenth century. The clavichord’s tone was metallic and never powerful;【C5】________ , because of the variety of tone possible to it, many composers found the clavichord a sympathetic instrument for concert use, but the character of the tone could not be 6 save by mechanical or structural devices.
The piano was【C7】________ in the early eighteenth century by a harpsichord maker in Italy (though musicologists point out several previous instances of the instrument). This instrument was called a piano e forte (soft and loud), to indicate its dynamic flexibility; its strings were【C8】________ by a recoiling hammer with a felt-padded head. The wires were much heavier in the earlier instruments. A【C9】________ of mechanical improvements continuing well into the nineteenth century, including the introduction of pedals to sustain tone or to soften it, the perfection of a metal frame and steel wire of the finest quality, finally produced an instrument【C10】________ of many tonal effects from the most delicate harmonies to an almost orchestral fullness of sound, from a liquid, singing tone to a sharp, percussive (打击乐器的) brilliance.
A. autobiography B. struck C. perfected D. abandoned
E. ancestry F. reliable G. self-sufficient H. nevertheless
I. therefore J. instrument K. varied L. series
M. capable N. piece O. chief
【C1】
选项
答案
G
解析
上下文题。根据词性,此处应当填入形容词。介词unlike“与……不一样”提示后半句含义应与string and wind instrument“弦乐器”相反,对钢琴的描述是able to play both the melody and its accompanying harmony at the same time“同时可独奏也可伴奏”,可见钢琴是self-sufficient,无须其他乐器伴奏,且映照主题句中的形容词solo“独奏的”。故答案是self-sufficient。
