Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the correct word
or phrase that best fits each of the numbered blanks
In the 1960s, it took pop and rock groups one or two days to record their songs Nowadays, it can take months and months Many rock groups begin by recording only one instrument, for example, the voice Then they record other instruments- electric piano, synthesizer, guitars, drums and so
on
Next, they might use a computer to add special effects Finally, they ‘mix’ all the instruments until they get the sound that they want This means that a CD or cassette will always sound very different from a live concert
Music engineers have developed a new computer programme that will change the future of music
A computer can analyse a singer’s voice Then if you give the computer the lyrics and music of a
song, the computer can ‘sing’ it in that voice This means that a singer only needs to record one
song and the computer can then sing other songs in the singer’s own voice Singers can sing new songs many years after they have died
Most of us listen to music for pleasure, but for the record companies, music is a product, the same
as soap powder When a record company finds a new group (or ‘band’), they first try to develop
the band’s ‘profile’ They will try to create an ‘image’ for the band that they think will attract
young people Instead of allowing the band’s full artistic freedom, they will often tell the band what they should wear, what they should say and how they should sing and play
In recent year, many rock groups have started their own record companies because they say that the big companies are too commercial
28 Today, to record songs, it takes
A longer than it used to do
B shorter than it used to do
C only one or two days
D the same amount of time as the 1960s
29 Today’s record procedure results in
A different sounds of recorded songs and live- performed songs
B the mixture between CDs and live concert
C some special effects on songs

A It is predicted to change the music future
B It can imitate singers’ voice

A suggest the outfits of the band
B tell the band what to say
C give the band freedom to do things
D decide the songs the band will play
32 The word “that” in the passage refers to
A soap powder B an image C the band D a company
