Read the passage below and choose the best answer to each question 
MUSIC 
Accustomed though we are to speaking of the films made before 1927 as “silent”, the film has 
never been, in the full sense of the word, silent. From the very beginning, music was regarded as an 
indispensable accompaniment; when the Lumiere films were shown at the first public film exhibition 
in the Unites States in February 1896, they were accompanied by piano improvisations on popular 
tunes. At first, the music played bore no special relationship to the films; an accompaniment of any 
kind was sufficient. Within a very short time, however, the incongruity of playing lively music to a 
solemn film became apparent, and film pianists began to take some care in matching their styles. 
As movie theaters grew in number and importance, a violinist, and perhaps a cellist, would be 
added to the pianist in certain cases, and in the larger movie theaters small orchestras were formed. For 
a number of years the selection of music for each film program rested entirely in the hands of the 
conductor or leader of the orchestra, and very often the principal qualification for holding such a 
position was not skill or taste so much as the ownership of a large personal library of musical pieces. 
Since the conductor seldom saw the films until the night before they were to be shown (if, indeed, the 
conductor was lucky enough to see them then), the musical arrangement was normally improvised in 
the greatest hurry. 
To help meet this difficulty, film distributing companies started the practice of publishing 
suggestions for musical accompaniments. In 1909, for example, the Edison Company began issuing 
with their films such indications of mood as “pleasant”, “sad”, “”lively”. The suggestions became 
more explicit, and so emerged the musical cue sheet containing indications of mood, the titles of 
suitable pieces of music, and precise directions to show where one piece led into the next. 
Certain films had music especially composed for them. The most famous of these early special 
scores was that composed and arranged for D.W.Griffith’s film Birth of a Nation, which was released 
in 1915.

A. performed before the showing of a film 
B. played during silent films. 
C. specifically composed for certain movie theaters 
D. recorded during film exhibitions 
67. What can be inferred from the passage about the majority of films made after 1927? 
A. They were truly “silent” 
B. They were accompanied by symphonic orchestras 
C. They incorporated the sound of the actors’ voices. 
D. They corresponded to specific musical compositions. 
68. The word “solemn” in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to________. 
A. simple B. serious C. short D. silent
