Accustomed though we are to speaking of the films made before 1927 as “silent”,the film has never been,in the full sense of the word,silent.From the very beginning,music was regarded as an 36 accompaniment;when the Lumiere films were shown at the first public film exhibition in the United States in February 1896,they were 37 by piano improvisations(即興創(chuàng)作)on popular tunes.At first,the music played 38 no special relationship to the films;an accompaniment of any kind was 39 .Within a very short time,however,the incongruity(不協(xié)調(diào))of playing lively music to a 40 film became apparent,and film pianists began to take some care in4l their pieces to the mood of the film. As movie theaters grew in number and importance,a violinist,and perhaps a cellist,would be added to the pianist in certain 42 , and in the larger movie theaters small orchestras were formed.For a number of years the selection of music for each film program 43 entirely in the hands of the conductor or leader of the orchestra, and very often the principal 44 for holding such a position was not skill or taste so much as the ownership of a large personal library of musical pieces.Since the conductor seldom saw the films until the night before they were to be shown, the musical arrangement was 45 improvised in the greatest hurry. A.sufficient B.incredible C.a(chǎn)ccompanied D.comparatively E.matching F.rested G.normally H.occasions I.bore.

    3、根據(jù)以下資料,回答題: Quesaons 56 to60 are based on thefollowingpassage. When it comes to noise cancelling headphones,sometimes the best offense is a good defense.While there are plenty of active noise cancelling headphones that use a complex(and pricey)method to block distracting sounds,there are simpler ways.How about headphones with a snug fit that simply plug up your ear canals? This process is called passive isolation.It’s not uncommon for a consumer faced with the choice between the descriptors“passive”and“active”to choose the stronger-sounding technology,but great passive isolation can be just as effective and cost a lot less. The AKG K323 XS headphones($59 MSRP)are just such a pair.Sleek and portable,they produce a huge sound marked with prominent bass,supportive mids,and very healthy highs.They’re also the best passive isolators that we’ve tested in a long time.Like most in-ears,the XS headphones are quite small and simply designed,available in white,blue,orange.yellow,green—the list goes on.The Android version packs a one-button universal remote,and there’s also a three.button version for iOS.The XS’s teeny form factor,featherweight frame,and smalI carry case are additional on.the.go perks(特權(quán)享受). The cable is simple,but of decent quality,It’s shorter than most cords—just 3.5 feet—which may or may not be desirable depending on how you use them. Ears come in all different shapes.a(chǎn)nd so do the speaker covers.AKG includes four different options:extra small,small,medium,and large. In the audio test labs.these AKGs proved to be a straight.A student.Thanks to moderate bass notes and very prominent middle and high notes,music sounds both full and balanced.From classical,to jazz,to hip hop,every genre benefits from this even-handed sound quality.Listeners will enjoy big,thumping bass that doesn’t obscure subtler insmunents like violin and piano.These tiny in.ears aced distortion tests,to—you won’t find one drop of unwanted or distorted sound. The K323 XS really shines.even in a crowded market.It’s hard to pick which glowing attribute to praise first:The massive,well.balanced sound stage?The distortion.free listening experience?The$59 price tag?The monster isolation?The tiny,portable design?These AKGs are simply aces(王牌),and online sale prices of around$40 kick everything up another notch(等級). 注意:此部分試題請在答題卡2上作答。 What can you learn from the first two paragraphs? A.All active isolators are technically complex. B.Consumers are more likely to choose active isolators. C.Passive isolation isn’t as effective as the active one. D.Consumers prefer those low-priced passive isolators.
