Throughout the years, music has been a common thread that unites generations and had provided social commentary, individual expression, and a soundtrack for life. Music has evolved and changed as time has moved forward, and become, in some cases more of an art, and in other cases, less than one.
Today music has nearly universal appeal—though there are more styles and types of music than ever before, there are also wider gaps in ever between groups who listen to certain types of music. This said, however there are still millions of Americans who consider themselves to have "global musical tastes" meaning that they listen to numerous genres of music on a regular basis instead of focusing their time and attention on only rap, country, or rock and roll.
In Utah, as in most other parts of the country, there are many people who listen to a broad range of music: from Oldies to Emo and from Blues to Hip Hop. These varying tastes in music are reflected by the concerts in Utah during any given year.
Utah’s concerts range from the biggest names in Hip Hop and Country music to Rock and Roll acts that you might have thought had been dissolved in the 80’s. There seems to be just as much excitement for a Cyndi Lauper or Pretenders reunion tour as for a tour from Snoop Dogg or The Foo Fighters. The sheer dynamism of Utah concert goers—in age and musical taste makes Utah a "must stop" for most any musical act.
Utah’s concert scene consists of many small venues such as bars and private clubs that host touring acts year round, as well as a few large venues, both indoor and outdoor that host only the larger acts and are only open during certain times of the year—as dictated by sports team schedules and weather.
The varying degrees of concert venues in Utah makes for an additional plus for great musical acts to stop in Utah. There are obviously some acts, while very well received in bars and small venues, that just would not be able to fill a 20,000 seat amphitheater. Thus, the various small venues are perfect for lesser known or up-and-coming rock and country acts that are not quite able to fill the bigger venues.
All things considered, Utah has a lot going for it in terms of creating a solid environment for musical acts as well as fans of music from a myriad of genres. As the state continues to grow and become a more mainstream culture, concerts in Utah will continue to be growing attractions.
Compared with music in the past, music at present becomes more ________.
选项
A、sensuous
B、artistic
C、disputable
D、diverse
答案
D
解析
由题干中的m the past及at present可知,本题与音乐的进化史有关,前两段提及这方面的内容。第二段第一句中的Today表明该句说的是现在的情况,与题于中的at present对应,该句指出现在的音乐类型比以往都多(more styles and types than ever before),故D项“多样化”为正确答案。A项意为“具有美感的”,文章没有讨论这一个内容,为无中生有,故排除;B项“艺术性”与第一段最后一句中的art有关,但根据原文,音乐有时会超越艺术的范畴,有些时候则相反,故不能说现在的音乐就会比过去更有艺术性,B项可排除;第二段第一句提到虽然听音乐的人之间的区别很大,但音乐仍具有universal appeal“对人普遍有吸引力”,故可知音乐本身并非有争议的事物,故C项错误。
