Material culture refers to what can be seen, held, felt, used--what a culture produces. Examining a culture’s tools and technology can tell us about the group’s history and way of life. Similarly, research into the material culture of music can help us to understand the music culture. The most vivid body of material culture in it, of course, is musical instruments. We cannot hear for ourselves the actual sound of any musical performance before the 1870s when the phonograph was invented, so we rely on instruments for important information about music cultures in the remote past and their development. Here we have two kinds of evidence: instruments well preserved and instruments pictured in art. Through the study of instruments, as well as paintings, written documents, and so on, we can explore the movement of music from the Near East to China over a thousand years ago, or we can outline the spread of Near Eastern influence to Europe that resulted in the development of most of the instruments in the symphony orchestra.
Sheet music or printed music, too, is material culture. Scholars once defined folk music cultures as those in which people learn and sing music by ear rather man from print, but research shows mutual influence among oral and written sources during the past few centuries in Europe, Britain, and America. Printed versions limit variety because they tend to standardize any song, yet they stimulate people to create new and different songs. Besides, the ability to read music notation has a far-reaching effect on music and, when it becomes widespread, on the music culture as a whole.
One more important part of music’s material culture should be singled out: the influence of the electronic media--radio, record player, tape recorder, television, and videocassette, with the future promising talking and singing computers and other developments. This is all part of’ the "information revolution", a twentieth-century phenomenon as important as the industrial revolution was in the nineteenth. These electronic media are not just limited to modem nations; they have affected music cultures all over the globe.
It can be learned from this passage that _________.
选项
A、the existence of the symphony was attributed to the spread of Near Eastern and Chinese music
B、Near Eastern music had an influence on the development of the instruments in the symphony orchestra

D、the musical instruments in the symphony orchestra were developed on the basis of Near Eastern music
答案
B
解析
推断题。结合文章第一段最后一句可知,近东音乐影响了欧洲交响乐中大多数乐器的发展,所以B正确;A(交响乐的存在归因于近东和中国音乐的传播),C(交响乐的发展表明了东西方音乐的相互影响),D(交响乐中的乐器是在近东音乐的基础上发展而来的),均排除。
