Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer 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, synthesiser, 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 eomputer programme that will change the future of music. A
computer can analyse 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.
93. Today, to record songs, it takes ____.
A. longer than it used to do B. shorter than it used to do
C. only one or two days D. the same amount of time as the 1960s
94. Today’s record procedure results in ____.
A. different sounds of recorded songs and Iivc-performed songs
B. the mixture between CDs and live concert
C. some special effects on songs
D. differences in voices and instruments played
95. Which of the following is NOT true about the new computer programme?
A. It is predicted to change the music future. B. It can imitate singers' voices.
C. It can sing only one recorded song of the singer. D. The singer does not necessarily present to
really sing.
96. The word "it" in the passage refers to _______ .
A. music B. a lyric C. a singer D. a song
97. Record companies don't always _______ .
A. suggest the outfits of the band B. tell the band what to say
C. give the band freedom to do things D. decide the songs the band will play
98. The word "that” in the passage refers to ____.
A. soap powder B. an image C. the band D. a eompany

A. famous B. popular C. useful D. money-oriented
