Composers today use a wider variety of sounds than ever before, including many that were once considered undesirable noises. Composer Edgard Varese (1883-1965) called this the ‘liberation of sound…the right to make music with any and all sounds’. Electronic music, for example, made with the aid of computers, synthesizers, and electronic instruments, may include sounds that in the past would not have been considered musical. Environmental sounds, such as thunder, and electronically generated hisses and blips can be recorded, manipulated, and then incorporated into a musical composition. But composers also draw novel sounds from voices and non-electronic instruments. Singers may be asked to scream, laugh, groan, sneeze, or to sing phonetic sounds rather than words. Wind and string players may lap or scrape their instruments. A brass or woodwind player may hum while playing, to produce two pitches at once; a pianist may reach inside the piano to pluck a string and then run a metal blade along it. In the music of the Western world, the greatest expansion and experimentation have involved percussion instruments, which outnumber strings and winds in many recent compositions. Traditional percussion instruments are struck with new types of beaters; and instruments that used to be considered unconventional in Western music, tom-toms, bongos, slapsticks, maracas, are widely used . In the search for novel sounds, increased use has been made in Western music of Microtones. Non- Western music typically divides and intervals between two pitches more finely than Western music does, thereby producing a greater number of distinct tones or micro tones, within the same interval. Composers such as Krzysztof Penderecki create sound that borders on electronic noise through tone clusters, closely spaced tones played together and heard as a mass, block, or band of sound . The directional aspect of sound has taken on new importance as well. Loud speakers or groups of instruments may be placed at opposite ends of the stage, in the balcony, or at the back and sides of the auditorium. Because standard music notation makes no provision for many of these innovations, recent music scores may contain graph like diagrams, new note shapes and symbols, and novel ways of arranging notation on the page. Question 26. The passage suggests that Edgard Varese is an example of a composer who ______. A. criticized electronic music as too noise like B. modified sonic of the electronic instruments he used in his music C. wrote music with environmental themes D. believed that any sound could be used in music Question 27. The word ‘it’ in paragraph 2 refers to ______. A. string B. piano C. blade D. music Question 28. According to the passage, which of the following would be considered traditional elements of Western music? A. Microtones B. Pianos C. Tom-toms and bongos D. Hisses Question 29. The word ‘thereby’ in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to ______. A. by this means B. in return for C. by the way D. in spite of Question 30. According to the passage, Krzysztof Pederecki is known for which of the following practices? 3/8 - Mã đề 033 - https://thi247.com/
A. Combining traditional and nontraditional instruments B. Using tones that are clumped together C. Seating musicians in unusual areas of an auditorium D.

A. more extensive B. more controversial C. more distinctive D. more impressive Question 32.

THE FUTURE OF NEWSPAPERS Anybody who says they can reliably forecast the future of newspapers is either a liar or a fool. Look at the raw figures, and newspapers seem doomed . Since 2000, the circulation of most UK national dailies has fallen by between a third and a half. The authoritative Pew Research Center in the USA reports that newspapers are now the main source of news for only 26 percent of US citizens as against 45 percent in 2001. There is no shortage of prophets who confidently predict that the last printed newspaper will be safely buried within 15 years at most. Yet one of the few reliable facts of history is that old media have a habit of surviving. An over- exuberant New York journalist announced in 1935 that books and theatre ‘have had their day’ and the daily newspaper would become ‘the greatest organ of social life’. Theatre dully withstood not only the newspaper, but also cinema and then television. Radio has flourished in the TV age; cinema, in turn, has held its own against videos and DVDs. Even vinyl records have made a comeback, with online sales up 745 percent since 2008. Newspapers themselves were once new media, although it took several centuries before they became the dominant medium for news. This was not solely because producing up-to-date news for a large readership over a wide area became praticable and economic only in the mid-19th century, with the steam press, the railway and the telegraph. Equally important was the emergence of the idea that everything around us is in constant movement and we need to be updated on its condition at regular intervals - a concept quite alien in the medieval times and probably also to most people in the early modern era . Now, we expect change. To our medieval ancestors, however, the only realities were the passing of the seasons, punctuated by catastrophes such as famine, flood or disease that they had no reliable means of anticipating. Life, as the writer Alain de Botton puts it, was ‘ineluctably cyclical’ and ‘the most important truths were recurring’. Journalism as a full-time trade from which you could hope to make a living hardly existed before the 19th century. Even then, there was no obvious reason why most people needed news on a regular basis, whether daily or weekly. In some respects, regularity of newspaper publication and rigidity of format was, and remains, a burden. Online news readers can dip in and out according to how they perceive the urgency of events. Increasingly sophisticated search engines and algorithms allow us to personalise the news to our own priorities and interests. When important stories break, internet news providers can post minute-by- minute updates. Error, misconception and foolish speculation can be connected or modified almost constantly. There are no space restrictions to prevent narrative or analysis, and documents or events cited in news stories can often be accessed in full. All this is a world away from the straitjacket of newspaper publication. Yet few of any providers seem alive to the new medium’s capacity for spreading understanding and enlightenment. 4/8 - Mã đề 033 - https://thi247.com/
Instead, the anxiety is always to be first with the news, to maximise reader comments, to create heat and sound and fury and thus add to the sense of confusion. In the medieval world what news there was was usually exchanged amid the babble of the market place or the tarven, where truth competed with rumour, mishearing and misunderstanding. In some respects, it is to that world that we seem to be returning. Newspapers have never been very good- or not as good as they ought to be- at telling us how the world works. Perhaps they now face extinction. Or perhaps , as the internet merely adds to what de Botton discribes as our sense that we live in ‘an improvable and fundamentally chaotic universe’, they will discover that they and they alone can guide us to wisdom and understanding.
