1. Reviving the practice of using elements of popular music in classical composition, an approach that had been in hibernation in the United States during the 1960’s, composer Philip Glass(born 1937) embraced the ethos of popular music in his compositions. Glass based two symphonies on music by rock musicians David Bowie and Brian Eno, but the symphonies’ sound is distinctively his. Popular elements do not appear out of place in Glass’s classical music, which from its early days has shared certain harmonies and rhythms with rock music. Yet this use of popular elements has not made Glass a composer of popular music. His music is not a version of popular music packaged to attract classical listeners; it is high art for listeners steeped in rock rather than the classics.

1. The passage addresses which of the following issues related to Glass’s use of popular elements in his classical compositions?
How it is regarded by listeners who prefer rock to the classics
How it has affected the commercial success of Glass’s music
Whether it has contributed to a revival of interest among other composers in using popular elements in their compositions
Whether it has had a detrimental effect on Glass’s reputation as a composer of classical music
Whether it has caused certain of Glass’s works to be derivative in quality

这道题，我选的A，就想问一下，最后一句：it is high art for listeners steeped in rock rather than the classics.
这个 listeners steeped in rock rather than the classics不是listeners who prefer rock to the classics？
it is high art，不是listener对于G music的评价（regard)？
解析里说这段文章根本没提到listener。这个真的不是listener吗？？？

答案选得E，说文章提到了G WORK的独特性。虽然我认为这个based on基本上就是derive from，但是解析说它不是derivative。但是我还可以接受这个E是对的，只是不明白A究竟错哪了？

2. The passage suggests that Glass’s work displays which of the following qualities?
A return to the use of popular music in classical compositions
An attempt to elevate rock music to an artistic status more closely approximating that of classical music
A long-standing tendency to incorporate elements from two apparently disparate musical Styles

还有这道题，答案选AC，A我知道哪里对，B我知道哪里错
但是C，原文里哪里提到long-standing tendency了？不是直接就说了G reviving。没提到他有没有酝酿，酝酿了多久吧

3. Select the sentence that distinguishes two ways of integrating rock and classical music.

这道题答案的解析，我就完全崩溃了
答案选这句：His music is not a version of popular music packaged to attract classical listeners; it is high art for listeners steeped in rock rather than the classics.
解析曰：这体现了两种方法，一种是能吸引classical爱好者，一种是能吸引rock爱好者。
我的神马啊，这句话难道不是对上一句Yet this use of popular elements has not made Glass a composer of popular music的进一步解释吗？就是rock认为他太高雅了不是Pop，而他有不能吸引古典爱好者所以不完全是古典乐？？？

此刻只有暴漫表情才表达的了我的心情

还有一道三空题

It is refreshing to read a book about our planet by an author who does not allow facts to be (i)
__________by politics: well aware of the political disputes about the effects of human activities
on climate and biodiversity, this author does not permit them to (ii) _________his comprehensive
description of what we know about our biosphere. He emphasizes the enormous gaps in our
knowledge, the sparseness of our observations, and the (iii) _________, calling attention to the
many aspects of planetary evolution that must be better understood before we can accurately
diagnose the condition of our planet.

overshadowed
invalidated
illuminated

enhance
obscure
underscore

plausibility of our hypotheses
certainty of our entitlement
superficiality of our theories

答案对第三空的解析是要选个贬义词，G H都是褒义。
plausibility是：well-spoken and apparently, but often deceptively, worthy of confidence or trust看起来真实际假，这怎么能是个褒义词？

另外第一空，为什么B不对呢？
