Og Sample Question
Reviving the practice of using elements of popular music in classicalcomposition, an
approach that had been in hibernation inthe United States
during the 1960s, composerPhilip Glass (born 1937) embraced the ethosof popular music without imitating it.
Glass based two symphonies on music by rockmusicians David Bowie and Brian Eno,
but the symphonies’ sound is distinctivelyhis.

opu lar elements do not appear outof
place in Glass’s classical music, whichfrom its early days has shared certain harmonies
and rhythms with rock music. Yet this useof popular elements has not made Glass a
composer of popular music. His music is nota version of popular music packaged to
attract classical listeners; it is high artfor listeners steeped in rock rather than the
classics.

阅读中的第二题的最后C个选项
Thepassage suggests that Glass’s work displays which of the following qualities?
[1]A A return to the use of popular music inclassical compositions
[1]B An attempt to elevate rock music to anartistic status more closely
approximating that of classical music
[1]C A long-standingtendency to incorporate elements from two apparently
disparate musical styles
但是文中那个部分imply “Along-standing tendency”
是reviving吗？

Almost every sentence in the passage refers to incorporating rock
music in classical compositions, but only the last sentence distinguishes two ways of
doing so. It distinguishes between writing rock music in a way that will make it attractive
to classical listeners and writing classical music that will be attractive to listeners
familiar with rock.
Thus the correct answer is the last sentence of the passage.
这个解释应该还合理的

这个好像是第三题的答案吧，第二题的C选项的答案就一句话带过了。
