问题      Naturally the audiences that support various kinds of music are not identical. There are separate audiences, of widely differing tastes and musical receptivity, for opera, symphony and chamber music. The oratorio audience is a very special group made up of the most conservative tastes and opinions. One suspects that it is recruited largely from friends and families of the singers. Now a stage full of happy and earnest oratorio singers must represent considerable potential ticket sales, and, if this is true, it does not malt much difference what work the singers select to perform. Anyone who has ever sung in a chorus knows what fun it is to sing Handel. The music is easy to grasp, fits the voice well, and fine effects are achieved with a minimum of professional skill. The plan of the Handel oratorio is ideal for the ordinary amateur singing group. All the hard parts are taken by professional soloists, who can be imported for the occasion. Therefore the chorus can make a public appearance after long, leisurely preparation and add on at the last moment the final professional touches. Thus the never-ending vogue of the oratorio and its unchanging aspect must be attributed, at least partially, to the amateur choral societies that are to be found in almost every community.
The author implies that the professional soloists mentioned in the passage do which of the following?
选项 A、Memorize all of Handel’s solo oratorios.
B、Practice with amateur choruses at every rehearsal.
C、Engage singers for choral societies.
D、Give professional support to amateur groups.
答案D
解析 此题为推论题。先用寻读法迅速找到“professional soloists”，然后集中研究这句“All the hard parts are taken by professionals”，从中可知所有难的部分都由专业演员来承担，因此D项为正确选项。
