II. READING (0.25/each)
1. Read the passage and choose the correct answer A, B, C, or D to each of the questions
In the 1960s, it took pop and rock groups one or two days to record other their songs.
Nowadays, it can take months and months. Many rock groups begin by recording only one
instrument, for example, the voice. Then they record other instruments – electric piano,
synthesizer, guitars, drums and so on.
Next, they might use a computer to add special effects. Finally, they ‘mix’ all the instruments
until they get the sound that they want. This means that a CD or cassette will always sound
very different from a live concert.
Music engineers have developed a new computer programme that will change the future of
music. A computer can analyze a singer's voice. Then if you give the computer the lyrics and
music of a song, the computer can 'sing' it in that voice. This means that a singer only needs to
record one song and the computer can then sing other songs in the singer's own voice. Singers
can sing new songs many years after they have died.
Most of us listen to music for pleasure, but for the record companies, music is a product, the

same as soap powder. When a record company finds a new group (or 'band'), they first try to
develop the band's 'profile'. They will try to create an 'image' for the band that they think will
attract young people. Instead of allowing the band’s full artistic freedom, they will often tell the
band what they should wear, what they should say and how they should sing and play.
In recent year, many rock groups have started their own record companies because they say
that the big companies are too commercial.
