39、ety of sounds than ever before, including many that were once considered undesirable noises. Composer Edgard Varese (1883-1965) called thus the “liberation of sound.the right to make music with any and all sounds.“ Electronic music, for examplemade with the aid of computers, synthesizers, and (5) el
40、ectronic instrumentsmay include sounds that in the past would not have been consdered 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
41、 voices and nonelectronic instruments. Singers may be asked to scream, laugh, groan, sneeze, or to sing phonetic (10) 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
42、 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. (15) Traditional percussion instruments ar
43、e struck with new types of beaters; and instruments that used to be couriered unconvennonal in Western musictom -toms, bongos, slapsticks, maracasare widelv used. In the search for novel sounds, increased use has been made in Western music of Microtones. Non-Western music typically divides and inter
44、val between two pitches more (20) finely than Western music does, thereby producing a greter number of distinct tones, or micro tones, within the same interval. Composers such as Krzysztof Pmderecki create sound that borders on electronic noise through tone clustersclosely spaced tones played togeth
45、er and heard as a mass, block, or band of sound. The directional aspect of sound has taken on new importance as well Loudspeakers or groups of instruments may be placed (25) at opposite ends of the stage, in the balcony, or at the back and sides of the auditorium. Because standard music notation mak
46、es no provision for many of these innovations, recent music scores may contain graphlike diagrams, new note shapes and symbols, and novel ways of arranging notation on the page. 66 What does the passage mainly discuss? （ A） The use of nontraditional sounds in contemporary music （ B） How sounds are p
47、roduced electronically （ C） How standard musical notation has beer, adapted for nontraditional sounds （ D） Several composers who have experimented with the electronic production of sound 67 The word “wider“ in one 1 is closest in meaning to （ A） more impressive （ B） more distinctivc （ C） more contro
