题目
that their achievements are no less substantial than those of Verdi
that their works are examples of great trash
the extent to which Schubert and Brahms influenced the later compositions of Verdi
that popular music could be employed in compositions intended as high art
参考答案和解析
作者在提及Schubert and Brahms之前先提到了George Gershwin，指出Gershwin的音乐是“great popular art, never aspiring to high art”，接着笔锋一转，提及Schubert and Brahms，指出他们运用流行音乐的元素创作出了“high art”，通过两个例子的对比，突出强调流行音乐也能用来创作高雅艺术，因此D项最符合题目要求。

Which of the following did the author probably suggest?
［A］ Support not the most supported.
［B］ Deny everything others believe.
［C］ Throw all tradition into trashcan.
［D］ Keep your eyes open all the time.
本题考查作者的观点。第一段作者提到，大多数人所共有的观念和习惯不一定是合理的判断和实践智慧的结果；第二至三段又提出，认为“大家都说的话肯定是真的，大家都做的事肯定是对的”是一种谬论。文章的最后提到，如果按照上述的推理方式，即大家广泛同意的观点就是对的，那么我们也可以证明地球是扁的，噩梦是恶魔的来访。由此可以看出，作者是在批驳人们思维方式上走入的误区，建议人们用一种更批判更睿智的态度看待那些已经习以为常的观点和做法。而并不建议我们彻底放弃传统、在没有确凿的证据的情况下支持或否定事物和观点。［A］、［B］和［C］项属于较偏狭的观点，不入选。
