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.
What can be concluded form the passage about the characteristics of oratorios?
选项
A、They are primarily performed by professionals.
B、They vary little from one performance to another.
C、They are composed entirely of solos.
D、They are carelessly scheduled.
答案
B
解析
此题为推论题。可用排除法。A从文中可知专业演员主要演唱难的部分,并没有说明主要是由他们演唱。B文章中对清唱剧特点有具体的描述,线索词为“not make much difference”;“easy to grasp”、“fits the voice well”、“fine effects...with a minimum of professional skill”,表明剧目与剧目之间变化不大,因此此项为正确答案。C项明显与该文不符。D这些观众演员需经过长时间的、但轻松的准备才能上台演唱,并不是随意安排
