Hear the Music, Avoid the Mosh Pit Artists Find Their Audience OnlineMusician Suzanne Vega

Hear the Music, Avoid the Mosh Pit

Artists Find Their Audience Online

Musician Suzanne Vega got her start in the New York folk scene, but now the 1980s star has found a following in cyberspace. With the help of some programmers, Vega created a 3D animated image of herself, called an avatar (化身), and she recently performed inside a world accessible only through a web site, where other people represented by avatars attended the concert, streamed live to computers all over the globe.

As Vega strummed (弹奏) her guitar inside a real studio, about 100 lucky fans sat at their computers and guided their avatars into the online scene of an outdoor amphitheater, where Vega's avatar youthful - looking with short hair and bangs—appeared on stage. When the real -world artist played and sang, her online alter ego(另一个我) did the same—though the avatar's lips did not move. Fans heard the concert on their computer speakers and commanded their avatars to smile or move to the music.

Later, Vega answered audience questions, sent as instant messages visible to everyone in attendance.

The Aug. 3 event, organized by a public: radio program, was one of the first attempts by a major artist to interact with fans in a completely computer- fabricated world.

"The response was terrific ! ! I am still hearing from people who were in the ' room,' friends of friends and people all over the world who were 'there,' "Vega said in an e -mail, noting that she took an active role in picking out the maroon blouse, black cardigan and white tennis shoes her avatar wore.

Marketing and record label executives say web sites that put users into video - game - like virtual worlds are a unique way to reach out to audiences, who are increasingly spending their time and money on the computer instead of at concerts and music stores. Although still experimental, such sites offer fans more ways to interact with one another and band members directly.

The 1980s band Duran Duran has reunited and plans to perform. a live concert later this month on Second Life, the world where Vega performed, on its own virtual island. A few months ago, singer and pianist Regina Spektor built four virtual Manhattan lofts where fans could walk around, hang out and listen to streaming music from her new album a month before it was released. Even fans are taking part: A group of friends created avatars of the band U2 and has put on several virtual concerts, using music from the band's real shows and mimicking every detail, down to lead singer Bono's hairstyle, sunglasses and clothing.

Other, lesser - known bands and musicians who typically have used social networking site MySpace. com to build a following are also turning up on Second Life and other virtual worlds, such as There. com, to showcase their music.

"A virtual world brings something to the table that a Web site doesn't it' s building a more immersive experience. .... You kind of lose yourself in it," said Ethan Kaplan, director of technology for Warner Bros. Records, who said he has played around with Second Life for years. "It' s really cool and a lot more fun and creative than just putting a MySpace page up.

Musicians are increasingly using the virtual world to hold live concerts, at specific times and dates, or listening lounges where their music plays when an avatar pays a visit. The virtual world provides a rich and colorful environment similar to computer- animated films like "Toy Story," only a notch less sophisticated.

Users control their avatars by clicking on arrows or moving the mouse, but the movement and appearance seem a bit slow at times. Unlike the real world, though, avatars can fly around or beam (发射) themselves instantly from beach to urban environm

听力原文：Good evening. You are listening to Pop World of BCD International. I'm Susan Welc

听力原文： Good evening. You are listening to Pop World of BCD International. I'm Susan Welch. Today, we are going to hear several current hits of the world's most popular artists.

Well, first, I would like to say a few words to my dear listeners who are not very familiar with this program.

Since many people want to listen to and understand pop songs, radio producers at BCD International have made hundreds of programs over the years. We not only have access to the stars of the music world, but we also have a vast library of golden oldie" classics, as well as the "latest releases".

For those of you who like a bit of background with your favorite music--there's The History of Pop or The Road to Music. These two series bring you the language of pop music and information about the periods and the artists.

If you want to hear from the artists themselves, there's a new series called About the Big Hits. This is based on interviews with popular singers and songwriters. They talk to us about the meaning and ideas behind their songs.

If you want to understand the words to the big music hits, Pop Words is the program for you. After all, it's hard enough for native English speakers to understand most pop songs, so if English isn't your first language, you shouldn't be surprised if the words to many songs leave you in the dark. It was to address exactly this problem that BCD International started broadcasting Pop Words just over 23 years ago.

(30)

A．Interviews with radio producers

B．A variety of classic and pop songs

C．Latest news of the music library

D．Stories about the good old days

Although Beethoven could sit down and make up music easily, his really great compositions
did not come easily at all. They cost him a great deal of hard work. We know now often he rewrote and corrected his work because his notebooks are still kept in museums and libraries. He always found it hard to satisfy himself.

When he was 28, the worst difficulty of all came to him. He began to notice a strange humming in his ears. At first he paid little attention, but it grew worse, and at last he consulted doctors. They gave him the worst news any musician can hear: he was gradually going deaf. Beethoven was in despair, he was sure that he was going to die.

He went away to the country, to a place called Heiligenstadt, and from there he wrote a long farewell letter to his brothers. In this letter he told them how depressed and lonely his deafness had made him. "It was impossible for me to ask men to speak louder or shout, for I am cleat," he wrote. "How could I possibly admit an infirmity (残废) in the one sense (hearing) which should have been more perfect in me than in others...？ I must live like an exile." He longed to die, and said to death, "Come when you will. I shall meet you bravely."

In fact, Beethoven did something braver than dying. He gathered his courage and went on writing music, though he could hear what he wrote only more and more faintly. He wrote his best music, the music we remember him for, after he became deaf. The music he wrote was very different from any that had been composed before. Instead of the elegant and stately music that earlier musicians had written for their wealthy listeners, Beethoven wrote stormy, exciting, revolutionary music, which reminds us of his troubled and courageous life. He grew to admire courage more than anything, and he called one of his symphonies the Eroica or Heroic Symphony to celebrate the memory of a great man. Describing the dramatic opening notes of his famous Fifth Symphony, he said, "Thus fate knocks on the door."

In time Beethoven went completely deaf, He was lonely and often unhappy, but in spite of this, he often wrote joyful music. In his last symphony, the Ninth, a choir sings a wonderful Hymn of Joy. Because of his courage and determination to overcome his terrible disaster, his music has given joy and inspiration to millions of people.

In the first paragraph we are told that Beethoven found that writing great music ______.

A．was easy

B．was difficult

C．was straightforward

D．easily satisfied him

听力原文：W: Howard, what are you working on now？

M: I have just finished a piece on the background music.

W: Background music？ Oh, like the music they're playing here now.

M: Yes. You can hear it everywhere — in restaurants, airports, supermarkets, department stores and so on. It's supposed to influence your attitudes, put you in the right mood.

W: I am not sure I like that idea.

M: Well, it seems to work. Companies pay millions of dollars every year for background music. It's supposed to give you a better feeling about yourself and the people around you. Factories use it a lot. It makes the workers happy, and they work better that way. In one factory, music increased production 4.5 percent.

W: I should think they'd get tired of hearing music all day.

M: They don't, though. One fellow in San Francisco told me, "If the music stops, somebody always runs to the telephone to complain."

W: Now that I think about it, I can't remember when there wasn't background music in restaurants and stores.

M: That shows how young you are. Actually, it all started during World War Ⅱ when some factories had their own orchestras to keep workers happy and calm. Now different kinds of music are playing at different times during the day. They play faster music at ten in the morning than at eight, for instance, because workers tend to be slower then.

W: What about restaurants？ Do they play the same music for dinner and lunch？

M: I don't know about that, but I do know that hamburger places play fast music. When they started playing faster music, they found that a customer spent only seventeen minutes eating. The time was twenty-minutes before that.

(23)

A．An orchestra conductor.

B．An music fan.

C．A sales manager in a music company.

D．A background music composer.

Here he was in England. Now as a famous man, he was rich. He knew many important people. Wherever he went, people knew his name. They wanted to hear his music. As Louis played the sad, slow songs, he thought of his home in New Orleans. He lived there as a boy. How many years ago was it？ It was a busy, exciting city. But Louis' family was very poor. He went to work to help his mother. He also went to school. One of Louis' teachers asked him to be in the school band. "This horn is yours until you leave our school," his teacher said. Louis' music was jazz and he loved it. He remembered all the music he heard. He didn't learn to read music until he was a man. When he left school, he played in many bands. He loved his work and people loved him. They knew that he had a wonderful talent. Louis played in little towns and in big cities. Satchmo's horn had as many sounds as ten horns--sometimes slow and sweet; sometimes fast and hot, high and low. His music was always strong and exciting.

ach blank there are four choices marked A．B．C．and D．on the right side of the paper. You should choose the ONE that best fits into the passage. Then mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre. It has always been difficult for me to decide whether "popular music" means music written for the people or is simply music that the people like. The same problem of definition 67 with jazz. So many different 68 of "music have been called jazz at one time or another that it is 69 to say what it really is. Jazz has always been 70 to be black music but when I first 71 an interest in it, I used to hear white bands playing music that was like Louis Armstrongs in the 1920s. I found out 72 that they learnt to do this by playing his records 73 until their style. was close enough to his for them to 74 him. Since then white singers 75 Bob Dylan have rediscovered their own folk 76 , instead of borrowing from black roots. But the main changes 77 1960 have been social and technical. One is that young people have more money to spend on 78 at an earlier age than they 79 , so Tin Pan Alley, the "pop" music industry, 80 at teenage audience. 81 is that electronic equipment has developed to such an 82 that technicians are now capable of mixing sound to produce recordings that are quite different from a 83 performance. But the real problem with "pop" music is that Tin Pan Alley has always worked against its being a 84 music of the people.

Theyve never wanted to play the good ones. " A．takes

Material culture refers to what can be seen, held, felt, used--what a culture produces. Ex
amining a culture's tools and technology can tell us about the group's history and way of life. Similarly, research into the material culture of music can help us to understand the music culture. The most vivid body of material culture in it, of course, is musical instruments. We cannot hear for ourselves the actual sound of any musical performance before the 1870s when the phonograph was invented, so we rely on instruments for important information about music cultures in the remote past and their development. Here we have two kinds of evidence: instruments well preserved and instruments pictured in art. Through the study of instruments, as well as paintings, written documents, and so on, we can explore the movement of music from the Near East to China over a th6usand years ago, or we can outline the spread of Near Eastern influence to Europe that resulted in the development of most of the instruments in the symphony orchestra.

Sheet music or printed music, too, is material culture. Scholars once defined folk music cultures as those in which people learn and sing music by ear rather than from print, but research shows mutual influence among oral and written sources during the past few centuries in Europe, Britain, and America. Printed versions limit variety because they tend to standardize any song, yet they stimulate people to create new and different songs. Besides, the ability to read music notation has a far-reaching effect on music and, when it becomes widespread, on the music culture as a whole.

One more important part of music's material culture should be singled out. the influence of the electronic media--radio, record player, tape recorder, television, and videocassette, with the future promising talking and singing computers and other developments. This is all part of the "information revolution", a twentieth-century phenomenon as important as the industrial revolution was in the nineteenth. These electronic media are not just limited to modem nations; they have affected music cultures all over the globe.

Research into the material culture of a nation is of great importance because ______.

A．it helps produce new cultural tools and technology

B．it can reflect the development of the nation

C．it helps understand the nation's past and present

D．it earl demonstrate the nation's civilization
