Early attempts to appreciate popular music concentrated almost exclusively on the American
Early attempts to appreciate popular music concentrated almost exclusively
on the American scene. For example, the music critic Adorno focused his
analysis on the cultural hegemony achieved by the ruling classes through the
Line manipulation of musical semiotics in rapidly developing forms of mass
(5) communication. The primacy of American forms on radio and record at this time
was pronounced, but it seems unfortunate that Adorno, in particular,
concentrated his gaze exclusively on the most commercial forms of mainstream
pop, ignoring counter-cultural developments within the USA, such as blues,
jazz and gospel, or without. Although he was writing into the sixties, the
(10) explosion of rock 'n' roll and the proliferation of forms that it yielded seem not
to have affected him, nor that of the rapid development of a radically different
form. of popular music in the Caribbean, such as Calypso. His trenchant analysis
offered much in understanding the hegemony and manipulation of meaning in
advanced capitalist societies, but less laudable is his tendency to perceive
(15) popular music as an exclusively American form, and as monolithic and
undifferentiated.
The primary purpose of the passage is to
A．analyze the total impact that popular music had on Adorno's musical criticism
B．review the attempt of Adorno's scholarship to study counter-cultural music
C．correct the failure of Adorno's theories to explain the manipulation of meaning by the ruling classes
D．survey the successes and failures of Adorno's musicological theory
E．critically assess Adorno's analysis of American music in general

Milton Friedman was wrong. Inflation is always and everywhere a social phenomenon, not a m
onetary one. At least, that is how Robert Samuelson sees it. The Great Inflation and Its Aftermath dwells little on the economics of inflation; the main text does not mention the Federal Reserve until page 31. Instead, it examines the intellectual and political currents that let inflation rise from 1% in the early 1960s to nearly 15% in 1980 and then brought it down again.
点击查看答案
This is a laudable(值得称赞的) enterprise. Historians have devoted lots of scholarship to the Vietnam War and the civil-rights movement but almost nothing to the parallel rise in inflation, whose impact on society has been arguably great.
Mr. Samuelson, an economics columnist for the Washington Post and Newsweek, graphically recounts the futile efforts of various presidents to contain inflation, and the toll they exacted. Inflation began, Mr. Samuelson writes, because the followers of John Maynard Keynes who dominated economics after the Second World War convinced John Kennedy that reducing unemployment would cause only a small rise in inflation. But as inflation increased, it became politically impossible to bring it down. In 1968 Richard Nixon asked Herbert Stein, a nominee for Iris Council of Economic Advisers, what the president-elect's biggest economic challenge would be. When Stein replied inflation, Nixon "immediately warned me that we must not raise unemployment," Stein later wrote.
The Great Inflation and Its Aftermath is readable, but often frustrating. Rather than proceeding chronologically, it hopscotches (像玩“跳房子”游戏) back and forth between decades, repeatedly bringing home the points it wants to make. Despite the forward-looking subtitle, Mr. Samuelson does not demonstrate that the great inflation has much bearing on America's future. He spends much of two chapters, 73 pages in all, choosing a list of contemporary economic problems, from excessive entitlement spending to global imbalances that have little to do with inflation. Meanwhile, he devotes just a few paragraphs to inflation's most crucial impact at the present. The decline in interest rates that followed inflation's defeat created bubbles in stocks and houses and fuelled a" reach for yield" whose undoing is at the heart of the current crisis.
More puzzling is the fact that, in a year in which inflation and deflation have both repeatedly hit the headlines, Mr. Samuelson devotes little time to speculating on the future course of inflation and the political pressures that will affect it. That is a pity because it is a ripe subject.
The author commented the book as a" laudable enterprise" (Para.2), mainly because ______.
A．it pointed out inflation is always a social phenomenon
B．it has been focusing on the economics of inflation
C．it contributed to the longly-neglected topic -- inflation
D．it does not mention the Federal Reserve until page 31

"You are not here to tell me what to do. You are here to tell me why I have done what I ha
ve already decided to do", Montagu Norman, the Bank of England's longest-serving governor (1920—1944), is reputed to have once told his economic adviser. Today, thankfully, central banks aim to be more transparent in their decision making, as well as more rational. But achieving either of these things is not always easy. With the most laudable of intentions, the Federal Reserve, America's central bank, may be about to take a step that could backfire.
点击查看答案
Unlike the Fed, many other central banks have long declared explicit inflation targets and then set interest rates to try to meet these. Some economists have argued that the Fed should do the same. With Alan Greenspan, the Fed's much-respected chairman, due to retire next year—after a mere 18 years in the job—some Fed officials want to adopt a target, presumably to maintain the central bank's credibility in the scary new post-Greenspan era. The Fed discussed such a target at its February meeting, according to minutes published this week. This sounds encouraging. However, the Fed is considering the idea just when some other central banks are beginning to question whether strict inflation targeting really works.
At present central banks focus almost exclusively on consumer-price indices. On this measure Mr. Greenspan can boast that inflation remains under control. But some central bankers now argue that the prices of assets, such as houses and shares, should also somehow be taken into account. A broad price index for America which includes house prices is currently running at 5.5%, its fastest pace since 1982. Inflation has simply taken a different form.
Should central banks also try to curb increases in such asset prices？ Mr. Greenspan continues to insist that monetary policy should not be used to prick asset-price bubbles. Identifying bubbles is difficult, except in retrospect, he says, and interest rates are a blunt weapon: an increase big enough to halt rising prices could trigger a recession. It is better, he says, to wait for a housing or stockmarket bubble to burst and then to cushion the economy by cutting interest rates—as he did in 2001-2002.
And yet the risk is not just that asset prices can go swiftly into reverse. As with traditional inflation, surging asset prices also distort price signals and so can cause a misallocation of resources—encouraging too little saving, for example, or too much investment in housing. Surging house prices may therefore argue for higher interest rates than conventional inflation would demand. In other words, strict inflation targeting-the fad of the 1990s—is too crude.
The word "minutes" (Line 6, Paragraph 2) most probably means ______.

Of particular interest is a measure that read in part: "It is now necessary, in order to acquire British citizenship, that people attend a citizenship ceremony (and) swear allegiance to the country." That's not much different from U. S. law.【66】
This requirement would violate Section 203 of the U. S. Voting Rights Act, which requires that bilingual election materials and assistance be made available when a foreign language reaches critical mass in the general population. For example, California recall ballots in Los Angeles County were printed in English, Spanish, Chinese, Vietnamese, Japanese, Korean and Tagalog.【67】
U. S. law, in effect, tells new citizens that can be fully engaged in U.S. democracy without understanding the language of its election campaigns.【68】
Naturalized citizens must demonstrate a fundamental understanding of U. S. history and civics. Isn't it reasonable to expect them also to be able to communicate, at a basic level, in the language of U. S. politics？【69】Requiring citizens to understand basic English isn't bias. But supporting a system that encourages American citizens to accept a life without meaningful participation in politics and civic life—that's bias.
To end the separatism and disengagement that flourishes in part because significant portions of his country cannot speak English, Blair wants to make basic knowledge of English a requirement for British citizenship. There can be no true national unity when citizens cannot understand each other and participate in the majority culture.
【70】Let's hope the United States will learn it through observation rather than bitter experience.
A. Despite a growing bilingualism in English, for the most part Britain remains a monolingual nation with a long, proud linguistic and cultural tradition.
B. But Blair wants to impose an additional requirement: To become a British citizen, one must "have a rudimentary grasp of the English language".
C. It further suggests that secondhand knowledge of politics, through translation or others' interpretations, is an adequate substitute for the ability to hear and read about the candidates and the issues.
D. A passing knowledge of English shouldn't be too much to ask of those who seek the right to vote that so many American soldiers have died to secure.
E. Britain has learned that lesson—the hard way.
F. The intent of Section 203 is laudable: A member of a "language minority group" should face no obstacles in exercising the franchise. But its effects are pernicious.
