From the very beginning, music was regarded as an </span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 15px"><span style="font-family: 'arial'">indispensable accompaniment; when the Lumiere films were shown at the first public film exhibition </span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 15px"><span style="font-family: 'arial'">in the Unites States in February 1896, they were accompanied by piano improvisations on popular </span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 15px"><span style="font-family: 'arial'">tunes. At first, the music played bore no special relationship to the films; an accompaniment of any </span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 15px"><span style="font-family: 'arial'">kind was sufficient. Within a very short time, however, the incongruity of playing lively music to a </span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 15px"><span style="font-family: 'arial'">solemnfilm became apparent, and film pianists began totake some care in matching their pieces to </span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 15px"><span style="font-family: 'arial'">the mood of the film. </span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 15px"><span style="font-family: 'arial'">As movie theaters grew in number and importance, a violinist, and perhaps a cellist, would be </span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 15px"><span style="font-family: 'arial'">added to the pianist in certain cases, and in the larger movie theaters small orchestras were formed. </span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 15px"><span style="font-family: 'arial'">For a number of years the selection of music for eachfilm program rested entirely in the hands of the </span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 15px"><span style="font-family: 'arial'">conductor or leader of the orchestra, and very often the principal qualification for holding such a </span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 15px"><span style="font-family: 'arial'">position was not skill or taste so much as the ownership of a large personal library of musical pieces. </span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 15px"><span style="font-family: 'arial'">Since the conductor seldom saw the films until the night before they were to be shown (if, indeed, </span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 15px"><span style="font-family: 'arial'">the conductor was lucky enough to see themthen), the musical arrangement was normally </span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 15px"><span style="font-family: 'arial'">improvised in the greatest hurry. </span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 15px"><span style="font-family: 'arial'">To help meet this difficulty, film distributing companies started the practice of publishing </span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 15px"><span style="font-family: 'arial'">suggestions for musical accompaniments. In 1909, for example, the Edison Company began issuing </span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 15px"><span style="font-family: 'arial'">with their films such indications of mood as “pleasant,” “sad,” “lively.” The suggestions became more </span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 15px"><span style="font-family: 'arial'">explicit, and so emerged the musical cue sheet containing indications of mood, the titles of suitable </span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 15px"><span style="font-family: 'arial'">pieces of music, and precise directions to show where one piece led into the next. </span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 15px"><span style="font-family: 'arial'"></span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 15px"><span style="font-family: 'arial'"></span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 15px"><span style="font-family: 'arial'">Certain films had music especially composed for them. The most famous of these early special </span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 15px"><span style="font-family: 'arial'">scoreswas that composed and arranged for D.W. Griffith’s film Birth of a Nation, which was released </span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 15px"><span style="font-family: 'arial'">in 1915. </span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 15px"><span style="font-family: 'arial'">Question 26:The passage mainly discusses music that was ________. </span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 15px"><span style="font-family: 'arial'">A. specifically composed for certain movie theaters </span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 15px"><span style="font-family: 'arial'">B. recorded during film exhibitions </span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 15px"><span style="font-family: 'arial'">C. performed before the showing of a film </span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 15px"><span style="font-family: 'arial'">D. played during silent films </span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 15px"><span style="font-family: 'arial'">Question 27:What can be inferred from the passage about the majority of films made after 1927? </span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 15px"><span style="font-family: 'arial'">A. They incorporated the sound of the actors’ voices. </span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 15px"><span style="font-family: 'arial'">B.

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 indispensable accompaniment; when the Lumiere films were shown at the first public film exhibition in the Unites States in February 1896, they were accompanied by piano improvisations on popular tunes. At first, the music played bore no special relationship to the films; an accompaniment of any kind was sufficient. Within a very short time, however, the incongruity of playing lively music to a solemnfilm became apparent, and film pianists began totake some care in matching 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 cases, and in the larger movie theaters small orchestras were formed. For a number of years the selection of music for eachfilm program rested entirely in the hands of the conductor or leader of the orchestra, and very often the principal qualification 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 (if, indeed, the conductor was lucky enough to see themthen), the musical arrangement was normally improvised in the greatest hurry. To help meet this difficulty, film distributing companies started the practice of publishing suggestions for musical accompaniments. In 1909, for example, the Edison Company began issuing with their films such indications of mood as “pleasant,” “sad,” “lively.” The suggestions became more explicit, and so emerged the musical cue sheet containing indications of mood, the titles of suitable pieces of music, and precise directions to show where one piece led into the next. Certain films had music especially composed for them. The most famous of these early special scoreswas that composed and arranged for D.W. Griffith’s film Birth of a Nation, which was released in 1915. Question 26:The passage mainly discusses music that was ________.
