Read the passage below and decide whether the statements are TRUE or FALSE?

Check out these sure signs of true music lovers. See how many of them you can relate to, and find out just how big of a music fan you actually are.

1. You Really Did Like that Band Before They Were Famous

A lot of people make this claim, but not everyone can back it up. You, on the other hand, have a copy of a CD the band actually burned themselves complete with hand-drawn art. You own a limited-edition T-shirt they sold when they were still playing dive bars in no-name towns. In fact, the drummer even crashed on your coach one night after he partied too hard, and the rest of the band left without him. You saw the group’s rise to fame coming, and no one can question that.

2. It’s Impossible to Answer the Question “What’s Your Favorite Album?”

Top five lists are one thing, but when people ask you to pick just one album as your all-time favorite … that’s ridiculous. With so much good music out there, it would be a disservice to the diverse history of music to decide on only one. That’s like asking a mother to choose her favorite child. You love them all for different reasons.

3. You Always Have Recommendations for Friends and Family

Being a huge music fan means you not only understand what you like, you also have an intuitive sense of what others will enjoy. It doesn’t matter if it’s your grandma, your college roommate, or your boss, you can introduce anyone to something fresh and exciting that will expand their appreciation of music. Everybody needs at least one friend like that.

4. Your Music Collection is Meticulously Organized

Big-time music fans can get a bit obsessive about cataloguing their music collections. Whether it’s physical albums or digital tracks, you’ve got a system that can’t be messed with. Maybe you organize it by genre and then alphabetize by band name. Perhaps you’ve created a hierarchy based on Billboard chart performance or a timeline following the year each album was released. You most likely own a massive external hard drive containing subfolders within subfolders filled with mp3s. Some may call you crazy, but when you love something, you take good care of it.

Question: Music fans only organize songs by genres.

A. True

B. False

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.

American music, in most of its various forms, can be traced back to the music of the earliest African-Americans. Even though these Americans came here under the worst of circumstances, they still brought with them traditions, and developed new traditions of their own, that have grown into what is recognized around the world today as American music.

Musicians, like other artists, are usually quick to give credit where credit is due. Just as a writer quotes his sources, a musician credits those musicians who inspired him. In the case of the early African-Americans, that is not always easy. Many of the slaves who brought musical traditions from Africa will never be known by name. No one wrote their history. Many of the slaves who sang work songs in the fields will never be known by name. No one wrote their history either.

However, there is a lot that we do know.

The first well-recognized form of African-American music was spirituals. Spirituals are religious songs. They are songs that tell a story or express emotions. Spirituals have a strong rhythm. They are often sung by a group, sometimes with a leader who sings a line or two alone and a chorus that sings the refrain. Spirituals originated in the Southern United States. Spirituals sung by slaves often expressed the hope for freedom that was so important in their lives. Well know spirituals include "Go Down Moses", "Deep River" and "Swing Low Sweet Chariot".

After slavery ended, spirituals began to spread to other parts of the United States. Harry Thacker Burleigh was one of the first singers to perform spirituals on stage in a concert. Marian Anderson, well known for her classical singing, helped spirituals to gain a wider audience too. Spirituals influenced the development of another well-known form of American music - the blues.

The blues were a more individual style of music than spirituals. Blues were often sung solo, and sometimes they were accompanied by guitar music. As the name suggests, the blues were often about sadness and facing troubles. However, the blues could also be funny, positive, and even defiant. One blues singer, loved for her strong, beautiful voice, was Bessie Smith. Another early blues musician was W.C.Handy. Handy was not only a musician, he also wrote music, promoted concerts, and published blues songs.

During the time that the blues were spreading across the country, another style of music was also quickly gaining in popularity. Ragtime was energetic music with a complicated, syncopated beat. Often played on the piano, ragtime was the latest and most sophisticated in American popular music. The best-known ragtime musician was probably Scott Joplin, who wrote many hit ragtime pieces for the piano including "Maple Leaf Rag".

Eventually, elements from all of these forms of music and more came back together. In their own kind of melting pot, African rhythms, slave work songs, spirituals, blues, ragtime, and other influences recombined to form the beginnings of that truly American art form - jazz. In the late 1800's jazz was just beginning, but not long after the turn of the century, it would be the most popular American music. It would go on from there to worldwide popularity. Jazz would branch out into many forms, and it would influence future styles of American music.

Many musicians today credit earlier musicians such as Scott Joplin or Bessie Smith with inspiring their music. It's a shame that they can't also name the earliest African-Americans who really began the traditions that led to the American music of today.

Which type of music is often involved with piano accompaniment?

A. spirituals

B. ragtime

C. blues

D. jazz

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.

American music, in most of its various forms, can be traced back to the music of the earliest African-Americans. Even though these Americans came here under the worst of circumstances, they still brought with them traditions, and developed new traditions of their own, that have grown into what is recognized around the world today as American music.

Musicians, like other artists, are usually quick to give credit where credit is due. Just as a writer quotes his sources, a musician credits those musicians who inspired him. In the case of the early African-Americans, that is not always easy. Many of the slaves who brought musical traditions from Africa will never be known by name. No one wrote their history. Many of the slaves who sang work songs in the fields will never be known by name. No one wrote their history either.

However, there is a lot that we do know.

The first well-recognized form of African-American music was spirituals. Spirituals are religious songs. They are songs that tell a story or express emotions. Spirituals have a strong rhythm. They are often sung by a group, sometimes with a leader who sings a line or two alone and a chorus that sings the refrain. Spirituals originated in the Southern United States. Spirituals sung by slaves often expressed the hope for freedom that was so important in their lives. Well know spirituals include "Go Down Moses", "Deep River" and "Swing Low Sweet Chariot".

After slavery ended, spirituals began to spread to other parts of the United States. Harry Thacker Burleigh was one of the first singers to perform spirituals on stage in a concert. Marian Anderson, well known for her classical singing, helped spirituals to gain a wider audience too. Spirituals influenced the development of another well-known form of American music - the blues.

The blues were a more individual style of music than spirituals. Blues were often sung solo, and sometimes they were accompanied by guitar music. As the name suggests, the blues were often about sadness and facing troubles. However, the blues could also be funny, positive, and even defiant. One blues singer, loved for her strong, beautiful voice, was Bessie Smith. Another early blues musician was W.C.Handy. Handy was not only a musician, he also wrote music, promoted concerts, and published blues songs.

During the time that the blues were spreading across the country, another style of music was also quickly gaining in popularity. Ragtime was energetic music with a complicated, syncopated beat. Often played on the piano, ragtime was the latest and most sophisticated in American popular music. The best-known ragtime musician was probably Scott Joplin, who wrote many hit ragtime pieces for the piano including "Maple Leaf Rag".

Eventually, elements from all of these forms of music and more came back together. In their own kind of melting pot, African rhythms, slave work songs, spirituals, blues, ragtime, and other influences recombined to form the beginnings of that truly American art form - jazz. In the late 1800's jazz was just beginning, but not long after the turn of the century, it would be the most popular American music. It would go on from there to worldwide popularity. Jazz would branch out into many forms, and it would influence future styles of American music.

Many musicians today credit earlier musicians such as Scott Joplin or Bessie Smith with inspiring their music. It's a shame that they can't also name the earliest African-Americans who really began the traditions that led to the American music of today.

When did jazz become the most popular American music?

A. Sometime in the early 20^th century

B. When elements from other American music combined

C. After the hit "Maple Leaf Rag" was written

D. In the late 1800s.

Đáp án A.

Key words: When, jazz, most popular.

Clue: "In the late 1800's jazz was just beginning, but not long after the turn of the cenury, it would be the most popular American music": Jazz mới chỉ ra đời cuối những năm 1800, nhưng không lâu sau thời điểm chuyển giao thế kỷ, nó đã trở thành thứ âm nhạc Mĩ phổ biến nhất. "The turn of the century" là cách nói để chỉ những năm cuối thế kỷ cũ hoặc đầu thế kỷ mới. Nhưng trong tình huống này ta hiểu thời điểm chuyển giao này là của thế kỷ 20 tức là đầu những năm 1900. Vậy đáp án đúng là A. sometime in the early 20^th century.
